Dinner Closes Annual
Conference.

AT a meeting of the Big Horn
County Ministers conference, held
Monday afternoon at the parson-
age of the Methodist church in
Hardin, the following officers were
elected to serve that organization
for the ensuing year: Rev. E. H.
Wendland, pastor of the Methodist
church at Hardin, president; Rev.

dent; Rev. c. A. Bentley, mis-
sionary pastor at Crow Agency,

Following the business meeting
a community fellowship dinner was
served at the Methodist church.
The program for. this fellowship
dinner was arranged by the con-
ference, and delegates had been
appointed from the various prot
estant churches to represent their
church at this dinner. The In
dian churches at Pryor, Wyola,
Lodge Grass and Crow Agency
were well represented. Others
came in from Busby and the sur
rounding country. In all, over a
hundred delegates met at this get
together for the consideration of
cooperative Christian movements
leading to greater effective SER
vice on the part of the various.
protestant forces in the county.
It was planned that early in the
fall definite action should be
launched to put over a religious
survey in the county, and to carry
out such other practical methods
as should seem wise, leading to a
united effort among the churches
in a Christian enterprise.
DR.. Wendell Brooks, president of
Intermountain Union College at
Helena, gave the principal address
of the evening. Mrs. j. J. Ping
served as toastmistress. The lay
men were represented on the pro-
gram by Joe Enthusiastically

Rev. c. A. Bentley of Crow Agency.
A special musical feature was
singing in Crow, Cheyenne, Nor
wegian, Chinese, Spanish and Ger
man.

2. Maximum acres $3.50 of your

NO RESTRICTIONS ON
OTHER THAN WHEATLAND
Agricultural Adjustment Admin.
Concerned Only With Con-
tracted Acres,

bOLeWdL, May o-1He ASTlcul-
tural Adjustment Administration
is concerned only with the acres
planted to wheat and the "con-
tracted acres" There are no
planting restrictions on other land
in farms covered by wheat adjust
ment contracts, explains j. C.
Taylor, director, Montana Extern
sion service.
Taylor makes this explanation
to clear up the confusion which
has resulted from indiscriminate
use of such terms as contracted
acres" retired acres" replace
ment acres" and others. The
wheat adjustment officials have
three designations for land cover
ed by wheat adjustment contracts.
The first is adjusted wheat acres,
the second contracted acres and
the third, free acres.
The adjusted wheat acres are
those which farmers are allowed
to plant under the wheat pro-
gram. They may range from 81
to IS per cent of the base period
average. In cases where exemp-
lions are granted the government
will waive the minimum require
ment of 81 per cent.
Contracted acres are those acres
which the government requires be
taken out of production. They
amount to IS per cent of the base
period wheat acreage. There are
certain restrictions on these con-
tracted acres. These are explain
ed in paragraph six of the wheat
adjustment contract. Translated
in terms of Montana conditions
they about limit the use of this
land to grasses, alfalfa, summer
farrow or idleness. Should they
be planted to alfalfa they will not
be eligible as contracted acres
when the crop of seed or hay is
removed the second year.
Free acres, are the remainder of
the farm not into wheat or not in
the area designated as contracted
acres. On these free acres the
farmer may plant any crop he
may choose without restriction by
the wheat adjustment officials.

WATER USERS RELIEF BILL
is BY INDIAN COMMITTEE

The Tribune Herald is in re-
ceipt of a wire from Senator b.
K. Wheeler, dated Washington,
D. c., May 10, in which he says:
MY bill extending to water users
of Indian irrigation projects the
same relief provided last year,
to-day passed the Indian Affairs

weeks issue of the Tribune-H Her
aid, quoting figures showing the
cost to the city of Hardin for
pumping and filtering water, and
stating that from the figures
given it appeared that if the
water rates were lowered, the
taxpayers of the city would have
to make up a deficiency, at
tracted considerable attention and
has caused much comment, both
pro and con.
While the Tribune Herald has
not taken either side of the con-
troversy as to whether or not
the water rates can be lowered
without adding to the cost OF
production, its columns are open
to a free discussion of the ques-
ton.
That the Hardin water rates
are among the highest-if mot
the highest-of any city in the
state of Montana is acknowledged
by all. This is true because of
the fact that the water comes
from the Big Horn river, the
greatest carrier of silt of any
stream in the state, and it re-
quires an expensive treating plant
to clarity and purify the water.
The Hardin filtration plant cost
around one hundred thousand
dollars and is considered one of
the best in the entire country.
It has a daily capacity of one
million gallons of water, and it
is claimed by those who favor a
reduction in the charge for water
during the irrigating season that
at least four times the number
of gallons now pumped can be
pumped with the same salaried
help now employed. If this be
true, it would appear that the
rate might be lowered and the
additional water used would more
than take care of the added cost
for chemicals and electricity.
Even though the cost to the
city might be somewhat greater
than at present, there is a ques-
ton Of whether or not the en-
couragement by the city authori-
ties to residents of the city to
grow lawns and otherwise beauti-
fly their homes, is not worth
what it might cost.
Following are statements by
DR.. w. A.. Ransier, for many
years a member of the Hardin
city council and at the time of
the expiration of his term the
first of the present month, presi-
dent of that body, and from Troy
D. French, a former superin-
tendent of the water works plant
and familiar with it's pumping
capacity and the cost of opera
ton. DR.. Ransier's statement
follows:
"The average price received for
water by the water department is
eighty cents per thousand gallons
The cost of handling this water
and putting it through the plant
grows less per thousand gallons
as the amount increases. Last
summer, during the heavy pump
ing months, the cost decreased to
less than five cents per thousand,
If more water were used, the
cost would have been still less,
This is because of fixed charges
that remain the same, regardless
of the amount of water handled
These figures were taken from
the monthly report Of the water
superintendent, are on file at the
water plant and can be seen by
any one.
"The water plant is able to han
die one million gallons of water
a day, or three hundred sixty-five
million gallons a year. You car
see the plant was idle a large part
OF the time. This plant belongs
to the people and should be usee
