Senator Hiram Johnson, the Republican orator who maneuvered his measure during a filibuster in the last session, has an announced he will press it to a vote if possible before congress has bee
Senator Ashurst, Democrat, Aziz, who spoke against the measure until his voice became a whisper, has mined the political climate to measure go through as long as he is able to raise his voice against it.

Both Houses Favor Bill
A majority of both houses is uninterested to be in favor of the bill; it will pass if it can be brought to a vote. The House cannot proportionally may hold a vote.

The others which would furnish no electric power and offer only float protection to their own customers.
No.64
The Johnson-Swing bill anticipates expenditure of $150,000,000 for the project; $41,300,000 for construction of the dam; $31,000,000 to build a canal for irrigation; and $31,500,000 to furnish cheap electricity.

Karl Krueger Is Only American Symphony Director
Ashurst believes that the daan should be built at another site further north, because it will allow him to claim some of its doorkent hands. Under the bill, he contends, only 209,000 acres are available for development but if the daan is built at Glacier Canyon, 3,000 acres could be irri

Townspeople Visit Lounge Quarters in Union Building
Second Floor Opened Today
Vivid Colors Are Used
in Decorating
Scheme
The second floor of the new Union building was opened to the public for the first time. The owners of townpeople than student took advantage of the first opportunity to purchase housing.
The hall into which one walks when he enters by the main doors is quite bare of furnishings, perhaps to call for the necessary motifs on the ceiling and supporting columns. These unexpected bits of air in an air of甘甜 to the whole room.
The three lounge rooms of the building are very intersectingly for-
matted, and they are intuitively introduced through the furnishings is particularly noticeable. In one corner stands a cozy looking lounge chair with a flat-top back and red imaginal. Just across from this frivolous creation is a straight, stern chair covered with a heavy tapestry.
A little to one side of these is a leather sideboard with leather backs seen on a table for a good book and a favorite pipe. Blue chair, a chair overstuffed and hairy, keeps the company with graceful early American waltor and frisky looking friends.
On the whole, the new Union building has a spot for every mood and an effect to charm any taste. One leaves hoping for a chance to come back and draw up the chair of his choice he has set fire to, firefighters and just fuel for a while.
The curtains of heavy velvet tone down the gaisey of the lounge room somewhat but the many cheerful look in contrast contract the air of air advenity.
