THE SALT LAKE TRIBUNE, TUESDAY MORNING, JANUARY 28, 1936. West Projects Omitted From Bill for Cast Appropriations Measure Fails to Provide for Deer Creek Special to The Tribune WASHINGTON, Jan. interior department appropriation bill, reported to the house of representatives today, Is chiefly important for what it does not In the annual budget the president included estimates for starting construction of the Deer creek project, and for other new reclamation construction in other states, all as a part of his public works program. None of these Items are carried in the interior department bill; only routine items for reclamation, and for other interior department activities. The explanation given "by members of the appropriations committee is that if these reclamation appropriations hnd been incorporated In the interior department bill they have been made the subject of attack in the house.

In Later Bill The opinion prevailed in committee that it would be better to hold them back and incorporate them in a general public works or relief bill to be passed later in the session, when they would constitute but a minor part of a national program. Under this program committee members felt that the appropriations would not stand out as they would in the interior department bill. The bill reported today carries only $1,168,600 for all reclamation work, and this comes out of the reclamation fund. Repeated moratoriums have deferred payments that now aggregate more than 512,000,000. In other words, moratoriums, and the halting of the sale of, public domain have all but wrecked the reclamation fund and any new construction must be financed out of relief or public works appropriations.

Chances Still Good The deferment of these appropriations for Deer creek and other approved projects will not, it is believed, endanger their chances, and 3n the case of Deer creek, the. money could not be used now if it was appropriated. Among the items actually carried In the interior department bill are the following: National park highways, Indian reservation roads, Zion National park, Bryce Canyon park, park, Grand canyon, Grand Teton, nothing for Utah irrigation projects; Boise project, operation and maintenance, Mfni- doka project, operation and maintenance, $11,600, with authority to supplement this with $150,000 of power revenues; Uintah Indian hospital, Fort Hall Indian hospital, operation Ute Indian irrigation project, improvement and operation Port Hall Indian project, $45,000, and the usual annual appropriations for general maintenance of the Indian service. Chamber Speakers See in Benefits From Promotion Plans Utah will benefit by millions of dollars through the 1936 Salt Lake City and Utah promotional program, speakers told members of the chamber of commerce's board of governors Monday. The chamber of commerce is sponsoring a drive for funds for the program.

Workers will solicit business men from February 3 to 7 in an effort to secure money which will be used to attract tourists to the state, develop new industries and carry on activities designed to further Utah's interests. Speakers at the meeting includec W. E. Ryberg, president of the chamber; W. A.

Carter, chairman on the advertising committee, anc S. O. Bennion, member of the special committee directing the drive for funds. Guests included Brigadier General Walter C. Sweeney, new commandant at Fort Douglas, and past presidents of tho chamber.

Name Street City State (Mail f.o Washington, D. Colorful Figure of Old West, Early Land and Cattle Baron, Succumbs at Home in S. L. P. Nutter, Who Had Rustless, Indians for Friends, Dies A link between the old west, when rcdmen and cattle rustlers roamed areas now covered with farmhouses and fertile field, and the present highly specialized era, was severed Sunday with the death of Preston Nutter, one of the most widely known cattlemen of the western states.

Tall, erect and wiry of frame, one of his proudest boasts was that he had driven 4000 head of his cattle, swimming, across the Colorado river at Scanlan's ferry, without losing one, but he was chiefly known because of his wide holdings of cattle and ranches in Arizona and eastern Utah. Knew Early Hustler He also was famed because of his acquaintance with "Butch" Sassidy, "Gunplay" Maxwell, "Flat- nose" George and other notorious rustlers and outlaws of a bygone day, with whom he always nanaged to maintain peaceable relations despite his own large hold- Ings of cattle which might be the prey of cattle rustlers. More than 80 years of age and lossesaed apparently of inexhaust- ble energy until his recent illness, Mr. Nutter died Sunday of a heart ailment in the Bransford apartments, whete he had maintained a residence for more than 25 years, West Virginia Native A son of Christopher Nutter, and owner and breeder of fine worses, and Catherine Pugh Nutter, le was born at Clarksburg, W. fifth of a family of six children.

lieft an orphan at the age of 8 years, he lived for a short period with an uncle, Jasper Pugh, then decided to go westward and play a one hand. He was a cabin boy on a Mississippi river steamboat for a time and then traveled with an army supply train to Salt Lake City be- 'ore the railroad camo here. He went to Idaho and worked for -'anchors several years, then as a lelper to a building: cantractar. At age of 18 he decided never again work for wages, and accordingly became a prospector, first in Nevada and then in Hinsdale county, Colorado. He was successful in locating a number of rich ore deposits which he disposed of at considerable profit.

To Gold Kush With 21 other men he left Bing- lam Canyon in November, 1872, for San Juan, scene of a gold rush. When their way became difficult because of heavy snows in mountains, some returned, two stayed with Chief Ouray, near Duray, and five went eastward. Alfred Packer, a hosteler, arrived later at Los Pinos Indian aency, Colorado, wtlh considerable wealth. Mr. Nutter became sus the other four mwhomPacke ing Packer to trial.

In Hinsdale county aegan his career as a cattleman, Liirning all his available wealth into the new enterprise. He also served a term in the Colorado state legislature as representative from Hinsdale county. Purchased Land Preston Nutter W. Ivins in the Arizona strip country. Controlling water sources, this purchase also gave him control of thousands of additional acres of range land.

Mr. Nutter retained possession of the Arizona strip properties, and in recent years utilized them as breeding grounds for blooded beef cattle. Ho also maintained a close friendship with President Ivins until the latter's death last year. A born pioneer and diplomat, though always of a retiring 1 disposition, Mr. Nutter next expanded his holdings into eastern Utah, whore ho leased grazing lands from the Indiana, to whom he became known as "Friend" Nutter.

When the country was thrown open to homesteading Mr. Nutter purchased thousands' of acres of land in Emery, Duchese, Carbon and Uintah counties, land which only the most powerful of leaders could hope to hold in a lawless era. Famous Gang TUB "Butch" Cassidy gang, operating all the way from Oregon and Washington, down through Idaho and Utah to Arizona, New Mexico and Texas, had its stronghold in Brown's park country north of Vernal. Often they would rob Union Pacific trains and flee southward into the Uintah basin country through the center of Mr. Nutter's property, known as Brock't, ranch, near Fort Duchesne.

The famous Robbers Roost and Hole in the Wall hideouts also were nearby, threatening always the security of Mr. Nutter's holdings.

Calvary ceme- New Clue Revives Search for Flier Possibility that a clue given, several days ago may lead, to locating Howard Stark, department of commerce flier, was expressed Monday ay search officials when newer information revealed that a plane similar to Stark's had been sighted over My ton, Utah. The plane, reports indicated, landed in a field in Myton shortly before dark on January 16, the day Stark disappeared, remaining there for half an hour. The craft took off, but flew over the field 25 minutes later, it was said. An Indian youth was the only person to report seeing a plane on that day. At the time he first reported the matter he said the plane had two wings, but Sunday told a rancher in the area that he meant "it had wings on both sides." The rancher, Joe Wardell, communicated with officials in charge of the search.

While officials believed there was slight possibility that the plane could have been Stark's, since it was far off the flier's course, they said air and ground crews would be sent to the area to investigate. Wardell said that had Stark landed in the area south of Myton he might easily have reached a ranch house, but been stranded because of the excessive snows in that region. Weather Monday made it visable to send up all planes, but two ships searched the region over which a pilot flying from Rock Springs, to Salt Lake City, Star was, would normally fly. will be distributed only to those dis to be qualified.

arnell Black Named County Bourbon Head Dr. E. E. Monson and Mrs. D.

Stewrt at the organization meeting of he committee in the Newhouse Also elected by acclamation were B. B. Monson as vice chairman and Mrs.

D. W. Moffat of Murray as rice chairwoman. While the chairmanship was gen- rally conceded to Mr. Black, it ivas believed that the positions of chairman and vies chairwoman wouM be closely contested.

Differences Sunk The harmony that prevailed at he session indicated that rival fac- ions seeking to forget differ- nces and to press unitedly the orthcoming county, state and na- ional campaigns. Election of Mr. Black, -who, as ecretary of the county committee or the past two years, has estab- ished a reputation for campaign effectiveness, was vir- ually assured in the district and the vard and precinct primaries during he past two weeks.

Both the retiring and incoming county chairmen stressed the importance of such an office located in Salt Lake City and urged the committee to delegate powers to establish the headquarters.

Declared Need "If such an office had been opened and maintained two years ago," Mr. Stewart said, "I think we would have had several hundred more Democrats in office than we have now." The office will be open throughout the year, Mr. Black said, and will materially assist in handling patronage. The office will be maintained, it was indicated, by either voluntary contributions from Democrats who receive jobs in the local, state or federal governments or by assessments on such Cost of Office The cost of such an office was set at $2200 per year, including rental and salary for one paid em- ploye, according to an estimate submitted by W. J.

Korth, chairman of a committee appointed last November to investigate the matter. While other estimates by members of the committee ranged as high as $3000, the committee voted to give the county chairman power to establish the headquarters. A protest entered with the Democratic committee dealing with the election "of unqualified persons" to ward offices was tabled. Mr. Stewart was the recipient of thanks from, the committee, thn members personally expressing their appreciation for his services as chairman and as a member of the group.

He also took a prominent part in the recent municipal campaign. A graduate of the University of Utah law school, Mr. Black was ap- pointed by County Attorney Harold E. Wallace to a deputyship in 1933 In Dectmber, 1934, District Attorney Calvin W. Rawlings named Mr.
