ASKS AID Of CONGRESS
Harbert Resolution Asks
Government to Develop
Montana Water Power.

Helena. Jan. 4.--James Harbert Of
Poison, one Of F1athead county's repre-
sentatives. today introduced the fol-
lowing resolution with regard to the
development of the hydro electric
power:
| A resolution memoralizing congress
for the passage of hydro electric pow
er legislation that will enable the gov
eminent to lease power sites to pri-
| vate legitimate enterprises under prop
er rules and regulations.
To the honorable senate and house
of representatives in the congress of
the United States assembled:
Whereas, the waterways of this state
abound in water power. it being con-
servatively estimated that about one
tenth OF the total potential water pow
er in the United States lies within the
borders of our own state, very small
proportion of which is now developed;
Whereas, the development of the
various government power sites in this
state by private enterprise would add
millions of dollars to our tax rolls and
develop the greatest national resources
we have:
Whereas the members Of this legis-
lative assembly believe that our for
ests and coal beds should not be need
lessly exploited and the development
of the government power sites would
help conserve two OF our greatest nat
ural resources;
Whereas an early development of
the aforesaid water sites would induce
manufacturing industries to operate in
this state; would encourage railways
to electrify their lines and would fur
nish electrical energy in such abun-
dance that our people could cheaply
electrify their homes. Now, therefore
be it
Resolved, That the house of
representatives of the Fifteenth
legislative assembly of the state
of Montana, the senate concur
ring herein, that We petition the con-
gress of the United States for the
necessary legislation that will enable
the government to lease power sites
to private enterprises under such rules
and regulations as will safeguard the
interests of the people and yield to
the lessee a fair return upon the money
actually invested.
Resolved further, That copy of this
memorial be forwarded by the secre-
tary of the state. of Montana to the
senate Of the United States.
And that a copy of this memorial be
forwarded by the secretary of the state
of Montana to the house of representa-

Red lights will be made white next
month and dead laws will be made alive.
The city commissioners of Missoula,
the city attorney. the sheriff and the
county attorney of Missoula county,
decided after a conference yesterday to
issue the foregoing order closing Mis-
soula's aestricted district after Feb
ruary /. The action was not unex-
pected. Enforcement of the law
against houses OF prostitution has been
looked for since the election of At
torney General S. c. Ford, who per-
sistently promised during the campaign
to make effective this and the prohi-
bition measure.
Since Mr.. Fords recent affirmation
of his campaign promises strong pres
sure has been brought to bear on Mis-
soula officials by persons anxious to
have the restricted district closed.
Women's organizations, the ministerial
association and the Missoula Civic
league used whatever influences they
commanded to bring about the action
taken yesterday.
Attorney General Ford, however, had
not requested city or county officials
to enforce the law. In fact, Mr.. Ford
will not be able to do anything HIM
self until the evidence of neglect by
local officials is before him. The Mis-
soula city and county officers fore
stalled action by the attorney general
by taking a prompt stand
Based on Statutes.
The notice which was served on
every owner Of property now being
used for immoral purposes and every
person conducting house of prosti-
tuition, is based upon Sections 1897
and s,39S of the Revised Codes of Mon
tana, 1907. The former says:
Every person who keeps a
house of i'll fame in this state re-
sorted to for the purpose of prosti-
tuition or lewdness. or who wilful-
ly resides in such house is guilty
of a misdemeanor.'
The latter reads as follows:
Every person who keeps any

the purpose Of assignation or pros
titution, or any house of public re-
sort, by which the peace comfort
or decency of the immediate neigh
borhood is habitually disturbed. or .
who keeps any inn in a disorderly
manner, and every person who let's
any apartment or tenement, knew
ing it is to be used for the purpose
of assignation or prostitution, is
guilty of a misdemeanor."
Revenue Affected.
If November's fines be taken as
an average, the city will lose almost
$4,000 in annual revenue after the To-
cal redlight district shall have been
abolishedx Inmates and property
owners OF the restricted district paid
the sum of $1.245 into the city treas
ury for the month Of November, ac-
cording to the report filed with the
city council by Police Magistrate Allen

BRANCH OF A. A. u.

Hilo wants a local branch of the a.
A. U. according TO an article pub
lished by the Hawaii Post. 1t says;
Incidental to the relay race that
is scheduled for the first of the year.
has risen the question as to whether
Or not it would be advisable to orga-
nize a local A. A. U. in order to pre-
serve any record that may be maze
on that day.
AT meeting of the committee in
charge of the coming event the otner
day it was decided to have the Sec
rotary communicate with Honolulu
officials, for the purpose of forming
a special organization for the race
particularly and to establish a per-
manent branch here if possible.
1T is thought that inasmucn as
his city has taken up boat racing
and other sports in real earnest, anG
hat local athletes have become recog-
uiZed in Honolulu, there is no reason
why there should not be an A. A. L.
established here. We are in size, the

the first, and as such, are
certainly entitled to consideration &C.

versity of Oregon's champion football
machine, which last New Years Day

have to be rebdilt almost entirely this

not return to school.
For a time it was thought not one
of the 1916 eleven would return. but
this fear was dispelled when Charles

back, failed to pass the physical ex.
aminations for entrance into the ma
rines or the ambulance corps and an

ATHLETICS in
Army CAMPS TO
BE EXTENSIVE
Or. Joseph E. Raycroft Makes
Interesting Statements
About War, Sports ..

DIR. Joseph Z. Raycroft, director OF
the department of physical science at
Princeton, predicts year of unusual
athletic activity among the army
training camps. He says in a recent
issue of the Sporting Goods Trade
Journal:
There will be more real and wide
spread athletic activity in this coun'
try during the next II months than
ever before in lifetime"
DR.. Raycroft is member Of the
war departments commission on
training camp activities, which is at
present deyising plans for the sew
eral camps where the new army will
soon go into training The commits
sion has held q number of meetings
in Washington, but as yet no definite
plan for the athletic recreation of the
new soldier has been decided upon.
Army Athletics Big Problem
Though the war department itself
has not given its approval to any par
ticular plan, DR.. Raycroft has made
plain how broad is the scope of ath-
letic activity which the commission
has In view and some of the obstacles
which it will be necessary to sur
mount. AS $4,000 to 10000 recruits
will be located in each cantonment,
some idea of the vast amount of space
necessary for purely military train
ing may be grasped. One of the prob
lens of the commission, therefore, is
to obtain Sufficient acreage for the
various athletic activities that are in
contemplation.
DR.. Raycroft disagrees with the pop
ular notion that Americans expert
ness in baseball throwing will prove
distinct advantage in the hurting of
bombs. Trench experience, he states,
demonstrates that the most effective
results with those deadly little mis-
siles is obtained by a forward and
thrusting throw, as in shotputting or
the short armed bowling throw which
prevails in cricket. .".
Information obtained from those
who have had experience with bombs
and grenades on the battlefields and
in the Canadian camps indicates that
the free overland baseball throw IS
too prone to overshoot the mark to
be of such pronounced advantage as
most Americans have fancied must
prove the case.
