RICHMOND, Aug. 23.— (United Press).—A wide- spread search of the west coast of Greenland and the seas bounding the southern point of the island has failed to de- velop a trace of Lieutenant Locatelli, the Italian airman. Heavy fogs have impeded search- ing operations and fear is increas- ing that the daring Italian and_his three companions may be in peril, if indeed, they have not dropped on the barren ice Wastes and been lost. Meantime, with the - convoy de- stroyers and cruisers running short of fuel through the numerous unex pected delays, the uncertainty grows as to\when the American flyers will be able to complete the last two legs of thelr Jjourney—Frederiksdal to ‘Ivgtut to Indian Harbor—to carry them once more into waters border- ing the North American continent.

Funds will be made available at the earliest possible moment for borings at Alcova to test the founda- tions for the dam at this point; and other preliminary details will be taken up to expedite the work. The policy of the reclamation bureau, ax at present administered, séems to be upon the broad prin- ciple of curing the greatest bene- fit to the greatest suitable area and number of people, which means the fullest possible utilization of the Nerth Platte stream in Wyoming. It was rather a fortunate thing that Senator Warren was enabled to induce Dr. Mend to visit Wyo- ming and personally view the pro- posed reclamation project. It' was fortunate also that the feasability was so apparent to the head of the reclamation bureau. It was further fortunate that the essential data had been collected and arranged for presentation, These things all counted in the e conclusion of the commissioner to recommend the project for construction by the de- partment and to go ahead in such mutters as required no further au- thority than that already possessed by him, The building of this irrigation pro t means a new prosperity to central Wyoming.
