EXPENDITURES OF
Government ARE
LARGE IN STATE
Federal Funds Allotted In
Montana Total IL
Millions

More than II million dollars in
government money are available
for expenditure now in Montana,
according to an estimate COM
piled as of November % by the
Montana Taxpayers association.
The grand total for state and
federal highway construction, pub
lie works projects, civil works
projects, relief administration and
the agricultural adjustment pro-
gram, allotted to carry out useful
public improvement and to put
money in the hands of the towns
people and farmers, is S46,170,-
317. The amount allotted so far
for the Fort Peck dam project
brings the total to $71,170,317.
Herewith are listed the ways in
which the government funds are
to be expended in Montana. The
compilation was made from in
formation secured from the Of
fees Of the state highway COM
mission, the bureau of public
works, civil works and relief as
ISOLATION, U. S. bureau of agricul-
tural economics, and state board
of equalization. While most of
the figures are accurate, rapidly
changing conditions may alter this
estimate. This estimate is not
complete as it does not include
some appropriations granted or
requested for Indian projects, u.
S. forests, national parks, C. C. G.
etc., on which accurate data is not
available.
The total for the N. R. A. high
way appropriation, u. S. forest
highways, national parks roads,
Indian reservation roads and pub
lie land highways is $11,080,851.
Funds for road ~surfacing, oiling
and maintenance bring the total
for all highways to $15,680,851.
Public works projects, of which
it is estimated so per cent of the
number submitted to Washington
have been approved, account for
$4, 294, 401.63.
For civil works projects in the
state, 100000 has been allocat-
| ed.
The total for relief work, ex-
elusive of state aid, is $2,168,545,
estimated by calculating the
amount of the county poor funds,
and the federal funds to match it.
For payments to wheat far
mers under the allotment plan,
$19,376,520 is allocated, and for
payment to corn-hog farmers by
the AAA, $4,000.
Reclamation projects account
for $2,500,000. For the Fort Peck
dam project, $25,OO0,OOO has been
| allotted.

CARBON TO OPEN
HOOP SCHEDULE
Joliet and Edgar Are The
First Opponents; Squad
Is inexperienced

Now in the third week of prac-
tice, q squad of IL basketball
players has been sifted out of the
athletic material available to
Coach A. M. Hartwig at Carbon
County High school. The season
for the Carbon team opens this
weekend, with a game at Joliet
Friday night and a game at Ed
gar on the following evening.
Captain of this years team is
the veteran center, rangy, be-
goggled Peter Zupan, who for the
past two years has worked the
pivot position for the Carbon high
quints. Others who have already
won their letters in the sport are
Dick Doran, guard; RENO Niemi,
guard, and Toivo Kangas, who
plays either forward or center.
Seven who are training for the
forward position are Toivo Liedes,
Fred Brown, Fred Schwin, Wilko
Seikkula, w. Salo, Oliver Nyback
and Johnny Zupan. Those on the
SQUAD who are working out at
guard are d. Jurkovich, Ed Nile
kush, Roy NORM, Fred Klepich
and Burton Obert. Virgil Solso
and Fred Brown are prospective
centers.
The first game at Red Lodge
will be played December Is, when
Carbon will meet Columbus on the
home floor.
Prospects for a team this year
are not particularly bright" is
Dutch Hartwig's opinion. "Mos'
of last years first-run men are
missing this season, and the new
corners have much to learn in the
way of aggressiyeness and conf
dence."

ing given a respite from the coun-
ty Jail at Red Lodge this week,

WHEAT CONTRACTS
Being PREPARED
Farmers May Sign Monday;
Hope for Checks BY
First of Year

Allotments are being computed
this week by the Carbon county
wheat allotment committee, ac-
cording to word received from the
headquarters at Joliet, and con-
tracts will be ready next week for
signature by those who have filed
applications.
Signing will be the final act of
the farmer, before the applica-
tons are sent to Washington for
approval by Secretary of Agricul-
ture Wallace. An effort is being
made to have all contracts in
Washington by December 20, in
order that the compensation
checks may reach wheat growers
in this county before the first of
the year.
The committee has finally
checked all applications. Many
voluntary reductions in acres have
been made by individual farmers
and a few corrections have been
made by former tenants and 9TH
ers familiar with farms now OPP
Grated by applicants for wheat al
lotments. The total over-run in
acres in the county has been elm
mated in this way to comply with
the official figures from Wash
ington. No flat reduction in acre
age on all applicants in the county
will now be necessary because of
the painstaking care on the part
of the committee in eliminating
"watered" acres.
The wheat allotment force at
Joliet are busy preparing con-
tracts this week, which will be
ready for the growers to sign by
Monday, December IL. Farmers
who have signed an application
will be notified by letter telling
them when and where they should
go to sign contracts. They are
urged to look for those notices,
and report promptly to sign these
contracts so there viii be no de-
lay.

WATER PROJECTS
WILL Be HANDLED
BY PROPOSED ACT
State Commission To Deal
For Construction of
Reservoirs

A commission to deal with the
federal government for water US
ers of Montana in securing con-
struction of storage and irriga-
ton reservoirs would be created
by provisions of a bill now pend
ing in the state legislature in
special session at Helena.
Projects for water conservation
for the benefit of irrigation water
users in Carbon county will be
presented to the federal govern
ment through that state commits
sion, If and when the commission
is created. A delegation repre-
senting a Carbon county associa-
ton of water users, consisting Of
John G. Skinner, John Normile,
Albert Budas and Frank O'Con-
nor, went to Helena last Friday to
confer with state authorities on
the possibilities in this county.
The state water commission, ac-
cording to explanation of Mr..
Skinner, would be made up Of the
governor, the state engineer, and
three others to be appointed. The
commission will pass on the
worthiness of projects suggested
for storage of water to irrigate
now inadequately watered lands in
the state. From the federal gov
eminent the commission would
borrow funds to construct the APP
proved projects, and would liquid
ate the loans by leasing or selling
water from the new reservoirs. In
this manner, the state would act
only as an agent between the wa
ter users, not to be held liable for
funds advanced by the govern
ment.
Conservation projects sought by.
Carbon county water users, as
surveyed and estimated, are: an
earth-fill dam on Red Lodge creek,
near the Wilson school house, to
reservoir $4,000 acre-feet of wa
ter, construction cost, 1896, 900; a
concrete dam at Glacier lake,
3,940 ~acre-feet, 100000; dam at
Emerald lake, 379 a~cre-feet, ST.
500; at Frosty lake, $50 acre-feet,
$4,000; at H~ellroaring lake, ZIG
acre-feet, $1,000. The lakes are
located on the Rock creek head
waters in the Beartooth noun
tains.
