DWELLER FROM
ARID MONTANA
DEMANDS HELP
Tells Power Commission
Government Promised
irrigation Work.

BB United PRISE
WASHINGTON, Nov. "a tanned
stoop- shoudered Montana farmer
whose features reflected years of
toll under burning suns in an effort
TO wrest a living from arid western
lands. stood before the federal pow
er commission here Friday and de-
manded that the government act TO
fulfill a promise made twenty-five
years ago.
Appearing in support OF other
farmers on the irrigation project
near Flathead river, D. A. DelWell
spoke in favor Of the application of
the Rocky Mountain Power Com
pany, TO erect hydro-electric plant
there and supply power TO the
farmers.
Delwell's plea came after days Of
lengthy technical discussions and
was followed closely by the commits
sionerS. He drew a picture Of condi-
tons a quarter of a century ago
when the government apportioned
some Of the Flathead Indian reser-
walton for white settlement and, he
said. promised a well-watered agri-
cultural western paradise.
Visions Of Paradise
Newspapers, magazines, and
and railroad literature united in
spreading word Of this settlement"
Dewell said. Young couples from
all over the country went TO
Montana in search of fortune. They
had visions Of green fields, white
house, and large red barns"
What they found, he said, was
barren land which would support
only one COW to each ten acres"
1T was blessed with a soil that
only needed water TO make 1t re-
Spond, but water was lacking" he
said.
Many Starved Out
The settlers grew old and many
we're starved out. Dewell continued
