THE MISSOURI RIVER BRIDGE
AND ITS CONNECTING ROADS

The picture (from a drawing
and the information concerning
the dimensions of the federal
bridge now being built across the
Missouri river published in last
weeks issue, proved unusually in
teresting to the public. The de-
mand for extra copies entirely
exhausted the edition.
Information concerning tn e
roads that will facilitate giving
the people of this end of the state
the benefits Of the bridge will no
doubt be equally interesting and
welcome.
The basic idea of the federal
bureau of roads and the Montana
highway commission in granting
the united, urgent petition for
bridge across the great barrier to
travel and commerce that is the
river was to facilitate
north and south travel by supply
ing a connecting link As shown
by any map north and south roads
are extremely scarce in eastern
principally because ,of
the Missouri. river. To make it
possible TO travel at all seasons
between all the county seats of
his end of the state was the chief
argument that won favorable de-
.ision from the state and federal
Dad authorities

The government does not sane
tion detached parts of a highway
system So having decided to
bridge the Missouri, highway to
connect the bridge with the seven
percent federal highway system
and with other existing road sys-
TENS became a part of the project.
The selection of a bridge site and
the planning of the new highway
at each end of the bridge was en-
tirely in the hands Of the federal
and state engineers. With com
plete maps and full information
before them the matter was under
consideration for more than a
year. During that time the meet
ings of the commission and the
highway engineers were open to
all who wished to attend and Of
fer their ideas. The engineers
pushed aside as not the best the
bridge site at Wolf Point
and were exceedingly fortunate in
finding the best and most econ
omical site any place along the |
shifty, treacherous stream at the (
Macon crossing, five miles down
stream. Sound engineering and
economy was the only consider
alton in locating the bridge and
he highways to and from it.

ON FARM RELIEF BILL

Washington, May During the
debate in the house on the farm
relief bill Congressman Scott Lea
witt characterized it as one which
if enacted will provide machinery
making it possible for the farmer
1 to sell his commodities in a sell
ers' market rather than in a
buyers market. as at present.
encouragement and financial aid
extended by the government to CO.
operative marketing organizations
would result in decreasing the har-
vest season glut of commodities
thrown onto the market each year,
and stabilize prices to the advan-
tage of the producer without fore
ing consumers to pay more for
supplies than at present.
Mr.. Leavitt stated that the bill
is not intended in any way as
panacea for all farm problems,
but is held to be a part of a con
structive program to bring about
a new and better day in agricul-
ture, to which task President
Hoover has pledged his talents.
The bill was described by the
Montanan as conforming to the
policies outlined by Mr.. Hoover in
accepting the presidential nomin-
alton, and in his first message to
the special session of congress
which he has called for the
specific purpose of coping with the
arm situation. The congressman
confidence that the
Measure would be signed by the
PRESIDENT and that its provisions
would be energetically carried in
0 effect.
1t is the opinion of Mr.. Leavitt
hat the measure contains all of
he many essential features of the 7
Id McNary-Haugen bill, with the :
ole exception of the equaliza- :
ion fee provision Congressman {
Iaugen introduced the present \
Ill and is active in its support.

BIG EUROPEAN
! DEAL SPLIT
! ONsTALKIES'

LONDON, April rs u.N.S.t--
The greatest merger Of European
movie interests that has eyer been
undertaken may be still-born as
the result of the "talkie" craze
created by American sound pic
lures, which has split the nearly
complete combine wide open, It
was learned today by Interna-
ional News Service.
Formed for the purpose OF
breaking the American hold on
the European movie market, this
combine includes the great En-.
eIka and Duetsche Lichtespiei
Syndicate, one OF the largest pro-
ducing and distributing companies
in Germany. 1t also holds con-
trolling interest in several French
companies and In dominated Dy
British interests which recently
floated one of five proposed new
companies under the name OF
Supremacy Films, Ltd.
The first big production under.
taken by this combine was the
filming OF Col. 7. =. I.awrence's
famous book. "RevolL in the Des-
ert." It was arranged to take
all the scenes in Arabia where
location" had already been Sc
lected, and the cast was scheduled
to leave for Arabia this month.
All work on this production has
been temporarily suspended, as
has that on future feature pro-
ductions. The reason is that the
board Of directors, composed OF
the heads of the various COM
panies forming the combine, are
utterly perplexed az to what to
do about the "taIkie" sensation
that American sound films have
caused over here in the past three
months,
Everything is at q standstill
over the 'talkies,'" A. E. Wood
ger, head of one Of the foremost
financial houses in London. and
originator of the combine, told
International News Service.
'"The question OF whether or not
the sound pictures have come to
stay: and, IL so, whether the de-
mand for them in the long run
will outdo that for the silent films
has caused a wide split in our COM
bine.
"some are for the 'talkies' and
others are steadfastly against
them. Until we can decide def
nitely what, to do, the future
progress of the combine is bound
to be stemmed."
ut may possibly result In a
break up of the 1mbine," he con.
tinued. I'm the first place, there
is considerable controversy over
what 'talkie' apparatus should be
used.
"One company. the name of
which l would rather not reveal.
has offered the best sound-record-
ing apparatus bat l have yet
heard. and for twentieth OF what
the other companies ask. but for
certain reasons there is some OBJ
lection to acceptance.
1t is understood that the COM
pany referred to by Woodger is
the Radio Corporation of Amer
lea. The objection to this COM
pany is believed to be due to the
fact that in forming the combine
one of the financier's main ideas
was that 1t should have no con
nection with any American in.
