TREASURY IS READY
FOR APPROPRIATION
farm RELIEF NEEDS
Doubt on Fate Of Oebenture Pre-.
walls as Senate Consid-
ers Farm Bill

Washington, June 8.-,P1-Final
disposition of farm relief legislation
was undertaken In the senate today
with doubt prevailing whether the
export debenture group would be able
to prevent acceptance of the farm
bill agreed upon by the conference
committee which eliminated that
proposition.
Though the farm bill approaching
passage in congress calls for a huge
sum of money. $500, 900. 900. the treas
ury Is ready to take care of the ex-
penditure should it be decided to
make the appropriation available at
once.
Treasury officials said today that
prospects of congress appropriating
the money before taking its recess
would in no way disrupt the financial
plan of the government. The ap-
preparation is to be provided for the
use of the federal farm board in the
purchase and storage of surplus crops
until it can dispose of them.
This appropriation. the bill says.
shall be made available as "soon as
practicable" after the farm bill is
passed. The provision has been in
terpreted by some members Of the
senate as meaning the entire sum
must be made available at once and
they have expressed the belief that
President Hoover will recommend the
whole amount be appropriated as
soon as the bill becomes law.
Treasury officials, looking at the
additional expense only from the fl
nancial end Of providing the funds,
say that even though the money was
made available at once. 1t would not
be withdrawn from the treasury and
spent before the end of the fiscal year
on June 80. They expressed the be-
lief that the federal farm board could
hardly be organized and begin draw
ing funds before the first of July and
that even then it would not be neces !.
sary for the treasury actually to
provide the entire sum In cash at
one time.
Taking the view that none of the
money can be withdrawn from the
general fund before July l. officials
say the action of congress, if 1t makes
the fund Immediately available. will
in no way endanger the indicated SUR
plus in government funds for the
fiscal year ending June 30. This sur
plus now Is expected to be more than
500 0O0, 900.

Wibaux, Mont, June 8.-(Ap)-
Tales of self sacrifice and heroism
today brought pride to the hearts Of
residents Of this little Montana town
which yesterday was swept by the
worst flood in its history.
The rescue of Mr.. and Mrs. Loch-
cry. aged residents Of the town. typi-
fled the spirit Of the undaunted west.
Mr.. Lochery is a cripple. his leg
having been injured years ago. Both
he and his wife are past so years Of
age.
The flood trapped them in tteir
home and they were unable to get
out Of the valley SO they scrambled
into q huge tree nearby. There they
remained for IL hours.
Mr.. Lochery was unable to stand
the strain through the long hours of
Thursday night and hts wife was
afraid he would slip into the stream.
She tore her clothing into ropes to
bind him to the tree.
A current travelling at an estimated
rate Of Is miles an hour made rescue
apparently impossible but persons on
the bank found q way.
They built q rude raft and to it
they attached all the rope which
could be mustered In the vicinity.
Standing on the edge Of the railroad
bridge they floated the raft down.
stream until It lodged against the
tree in which the Locherys took ref
uge.
Men on the raft lifted the Loch-
erys from the tree and those on the
pier Of the railroad bridge pulled it
back.
Mrs. Lochery collapsed as soon as
they were safe on shore.
Another man was marooned on q
barn for II hours before he was res
cued.

Pass Through; Beach Farm
Lands Are Damaged

Only local passenger trains. Nos. 7
and 8. will come through Bismarck to-
day. local officials have been informed
by H. w. Gillette. chief dispatcher at

lar service will not be resumed here

to catch Great Northern trains and
Mclaughlin, s. OAK. to catch North
ern Pacific or Milwaukee trains.
Passenger trains Nos. S and s. new
coast trains, will make their maiden
trips Sunday but will not come
through Bismarck. It Is believed they
will be routed from jamestown. to
Minot, Williston, Sidney, and then
Terry, where 1t resumes the Northern
Pacific course.
Damage to farm land in the Beach
area will run into many thousands of
dollars. with probably five per cent
Of the crops ruined. according to J..
Clayton Russell. weather observer
there. Water standing on hundreds
Of acres Of grain land is doing the
most damage. Andrews creek. which
runs from Sentinel Butte to Medora,
swelled over its banks shortly after
the cloudburst, causing great damage
in the cities and towns on its route.
Railroad yards in Beach were COM
pletely washed out by the water on
