Erosion Streamflow
Investigation Bill

Washington, March 8. Erosion and
streamflow Investigations on forest
and range lands at an annual cost of
half a million dollars would be au-
thorized by aa bill introduced in Con-
gress just before adjournment bv
Representative Scott Leavitt Of Mont
ana.
n 100000 would be used in ex-
perlments and Investigations at for
est experiment stations or elsewhere
to determine definetly the benefits
of forest, chaparral, grass and other
natural vegetative cover in proven
ton of soil erosion and in flood con-
troll. 1t would include in its scope de-
termination of methods of extending
this protection to its greatest advan-
tage and limits the survey to the ar
sas drained by rivers subject to de
structive floods or important for ma
vigation, municipal, irrigation and
power use, mentioning specifically the
Mississippi and Colorado river drain
age areas.
In a statement today Congressman
Leavitt said the matter was being
presented in definite form at this
time with a view to securing discus
sion in the interested areas, the inten-
ton being to reintroduce the meas
ure upon the reconvening of the new
congress next fall. The matter is be-
ing urged by the American Forestry
Association, the American Farm
Bureau Federation, the Society of
American Foresters, the National
Grange and several other civic organ
izations.

SCOTT LEAVlTT ON
JOB AT WASHINGTON

Special to The Herald
Washington, Feb. 2i-That at
least one of Montana's represcn-
tatives in Congress is ION the
Job when procurement of ap-
preparations of benefit to that
state are involved is evidenced
by the fact that the deficiency
appropriations bill just passed
by the House of Representatives
contains S2.575,000 authorized
by measures introduced by Cong
ressman Scott Leavitt within the
last few months.
The major part of this ($2,500, O00)
is for the construction of highways.
The Leavitt act, signed by the Pres
ident earlier in the month to be put
in operation through the appropria-
ion Of the necessary funds by the
present measure, is a new departure
in highway development which has
been hailed with delight by western
states. 1t authorizes construction of
standard grade roads to connect trunk
highways with the park systems and
provides further funds for construc-
ton within the parks themselves. In
addition to filling a long-felt high
way want, the construction is ex-
pccted to aid in relieving unemploy-
ment in the West.
Another Leavitt law of the present
congress authorizes cooperation with
the school board at Poplar, Montana,
to the extent Of $4,000 in the extern
sion and betterment of a high school
on the Fort Peck Indian reservation
to which Indians are admitted on the
same terms as white children. A third
project, funds for fulfillment of which
are provided by the bill just passed
under authority of another Leavitt
act approved by the Chief Executive
earlier in the month, allows $4,000
for cooperation with the school board
at Frazer, Montana, under similar cir
cumstances. The plan provides for the
construction Of an entirely new school
building. Further employment for
Montana workmen will be provided by
these construction jobs.
The measure contains a number Of
other items of interest to Montana in
connection with which Congressman
Leavltt has been active. They include
$4,000 to be used in purchasing adj
ditional land at Billings and erecting
upon it an extension of the present
Federal building, as well as $4,000
for placing another story upon the new
Federal buildirg at Havre. The struc-
ture at the latter place was originally
planned to be of two story constrnc-
ton. Placement of the roof has been
withheld by the contractors pending
final action upon the additional floor
proposal, just now approved by the
House.

Aggregations Play in a Sea Of
Mud For Second Deadlock
During Season

Playing IN a sea of mud at Hughes
Field Wednesday night the Bismarck
1mps emerged with q 6 to 6 tie with
Flasher in the second deadlock the
two teams have had this season.
A Shiny ball obviated all possibility
OF trick plays and both aggregationS
relied on straight football for an Of
tenstve weapon. The Bismarck re-
serves managed to uncork an aerial
attack In the third quarter, however,
which baffled the Flasher secondaries
and netted the locals four first downs
IN q row. It was Benser to Lee
combination.
Flasher scored in the first quarter
after their backs had alternately
bucked the line and skirted the ends
for q long march down the field.
Dennis, Flasher quarter back, crashed
over the line for the touchdown. The
try for point failed.
The 1mps got down to business In
the second quarter and started an Of
fensive- deep in their own territory to
work the ball down within scoring
range. Benser knitted through for the
counter.
The Flasher outfit was on the de-
fensive throughout the third and
fourth stanza but managed to thwart
persistant Imp attempts to score. The
locals handled the ball poorly and
their attack was marred by half q
dozen fumbleS.
Benser proved to be the leading
luminary In the Bismarck attack while
Brauer at end was a bulwark on the
defense.
Johnson Of Flasher played stellar
football to give the Imps lot Of
trouble. Dennis and Bahr at tackles
played we'll.

day in the feature of homecoming
day.
A day of rest had been prescribed
for the Bison this week, but the tutors
had planned to give their charges the
day off Friday. The work for the re-
mainder of the week will be light,
Finnegan has announced, as his team
is ready for any kind of tough bat
tie.
Finnegan and Lowe continued to
stress the Importance Of pass offense
and defense.
The Bison freshmen also were kept
indoors. The squad was sent through
light dummy workout but did not
don gridiron regalia to prepare Tor
their second clash with the University
of North Dakota yearlings here Fri
day.
Lieut.. Fay Smith, chief Of the
yearling staff, announced he would
probably give his charges new play
or two Thursday if the squad Is able
