ANY PLANS FOR DAM

dam. would include the erection
of storage and power dams on the
higher reaches of the streams IN
this section (three or more splen-
did sites are available) which we
believe will serve all the pur-
poses, of IVA for water storage
and power development; will en-
able the working rout of flood
control in the entire French Broad
valley; will afford the opportunity
for agricultural experiment and
development, under the direction
of DR.. H. A. Morgan, and will
make of the larger area of this
valley in these counties in the
wears to come a veritable Garden
of Eden.
The advantages of our plan are
the preservation of a large area
of beautiful and fertile farm lands
and the creation Of storage lakes
where soil erosion will give little
trouble, but where all the plans Of
IVA for water storage and power
development can be completely
secured.
AS YOU are probably aware,
truck farming in our valleys Is
rapidly developing. On account
of the altitude and climate truck
crops produced here come into
the markets at a time that does
not conflict with production any
where else in the country where
it is practical to ship into South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida
during the period when produc-
ton is at a low ebb IN those
States. Those States are more and
more looking to this section Tor
their truck crops from the middle
of July to the middle of October.
At that time it is difficult and ex-
pensive for them to obtain these
crops elsewhere in the United
States.
The plans which we propose for
the development of these valleys
will preserve the greater part OF
the most fertile lands for devet-
opment along this line. We believe
this is of the greatest Importance
in the economy of several million
inhabitants of the States named.
1t is not necessary for our peo-
pie to produce grain crops IN com
petition with other sections OF the
country. or truck crops in compe..
tition with any other area. All OF
this section can be devoted TO
crops which will not compete with
other production, but will supply
an absolute need in this south
eastern country.
The writer and other citizens
of our section are confident that
if DIR. A. E. Morgan will have his
engineers investigate our pro-
posed dam sites and our proposed
plans, they will approve them;
and the writer is also confident
that if DR.. H. A. Morgan will visit
the Jeffress farm and look over
other sections of the valleys, ne
will readily see the great pos
sibiities which l have tried, 10
outline. We urge you to aid us
in securing the serious attention
and consideration of these gentle
men to the plans we propose.
Yours very truly,
HORACE L. JEFFRESS.

worded with care. 1t noted that
200 codes now carried a provi-
sion for establishment of joint
committees to agree upon unfair
trade practices in specific indus
tries.
These groups, after the passing
of the NRA, the committee re-
ported, could be utilized as clear
ing houses for complaints and act
to abolish unfair trade practices.
Such an arrangement, it was stat
ed, would invite only minimum
of interference from the govern
ment.
Administrator Johnson already
has turned thumbs down on this
form of self-government of in
dustry. He hastaken a firm posi-
ton that under any final arrange
ment perfected the government
must hold the veto power.
Nevertheless, the business ad-
visory group has recommended to
industry that it think along these
lines and said these two vital
problems confront industrialists
today:
1. How far has industry ad-
vanced in organizing for self-gov-
eminent in the supervision of
fair trade practices in codes?
2. Will its members be pre-
pared to control themselves sue

WASHINGTON. - General John
son is punch.drunk.
The game old battler has fought
until his health and nervous sys-
tenn are shot. His mental efficiency
suffers. He has outlived much of
his great usefulness and many of
his punches swing so far wide of
the mark as to grieve his friends.
Before long, he probably will be out
of MIRA.
But no one yet can persuade him
10 quit-or even rest. Groggy but
grim, he still thinks of MIRA as his
own one-man show-and plunges on.
That's the inside explanation
Of Rooseyelt's creation of the In
dustrial Emergency Committee
and appointment Of MIRA Chief
Counsel Donald Richberg as chair
man. Primarily, according to
WIZ h1lOW lQGa
is to have a regency for NRA-
such as was forecast in this col
umn about three weeks ago. The
IEC will be supervisory and it
will report and recommend to
Roosevelt.
1t was the only means by
which the president, who had long
considered Richberg as Johnson's
successor, could elevate Richberg
Dyer Johnson at this time.
Richberg, fed up and out of
tune with Johnson, had resigned
from NRA. Roosevelt persuaded
him to 'stay, promising him a
chance to straighten out things
which most bothered him.
Johnson won't take anything
lying down. He would be hard
to dislodge, for industry sup
ports him and trusts him more
than any other member of the
LEG. One inner circle predic.
ton Is that he win resign by i

LEAWTT SLATED
FOR ADDRESS IN
RED LODGE TODAY
Senate Candidate to Talk
At Washington Hall
This Evening

Scott Leavitt, Republican can
didate for the short term in the
United States senate, will adj
dress Red Lodge and Carbon
county voters at Washington hall
tonight, the meeting being called
for 8 o'clock.
Well-known to voters in this vi
cinity as the Montana congress-
man who worked theoretically in
aiding passage of the bill that
made possible the construction of
the Yellowstone National park
federal approach highway from
Red Lodge to Cooke City, Mr..
Leavitt will discuss state and ma
tional issues of the campaign at
the meeting here tonight.
Mr.. Leavitt, through the SPLEEN
did record established during his
decade of service in the United
States congress, is well-qualified
as an interesting orator and well
informed on subjects dealing with
the affairs of the nation. His ap-
pearance on the speakers plat
form has been looked forward to
by voters in this vicinity since the
present campaign got underway.
During five consecutive, terms
served in congress, Mr.. Leavitt
secured the enactment of 101 laws
under his own name, and, in addi-
ton, jointly introduced many
others. Although the average num-
Der of bills passed by congressman
during the ten years Mr.. Leavitt
served in congress was IL, Leav-
tits average was placed eight
times above that average, the
Montanan never falling below 20
bills passed after his first term.
In the list congress he reached a
peak of 33 which was declared to
be the record of the entire con-
gress.
Several Of the bills passed by
Mr.. Leavitt were of national inn
portance, and all were construc-
tive laws relating to such matters
as agriculture, irrigation, public
schools, roads, livestock and the
rights and needs of individuals.

LOCAL D|STILLERY
PLANT REMO9EL|NG
NEARS COMPLETION
State Production Is To
Begin in Short
Period

The whiskey-distilling plant Of
the Yellowstone Distilleries, Inc,
being erected here is rapidly near
ing completion and is expected to
be in production in a short time,
it was stated this week.
Workmen at the plant, being re-
modelled from the old Beartooth
theatorum, are now on the last
major task which must be COM
pleted before production can be-
gin. This is the erection of a 1900
gallon copper still which will rise
so feet on the main floor section
of the plant.
Final tests of the 200-horse-
power steam plant have already
been completed and the boilers are
in readiness to get up a full head
of steam. The construction of sup
ply pipe lines throughout the
plant are also nearly completed
and power drive shafts and pull
legs are being put up in the vari-
Gus working units of the plant.
A huge steel cooker is set in
place in the still room and three
copper yeast tubs and auxiliary
working units have been erected
in the yeast-making room. A
grain-handling system which in
cludes conveyor lines, bins and
scales is about complete and will
soon be ready to handle the $50
bushels of grain which will be con-
sumed by the plant daily once pro-
duction begins. A grain mill which
will be located in the basement re-
mains to be erected, however.
Officials state that a federal in
spection of the plant also must be
made before production can begin.
This is expected shortly.
A government bonded warehouse
which occupies approximately half
of the basement section of the
building is now ready for use and
offices to be used by government
agents who will be stationed here
are about completed. The general
offices of the company are now
about ready for occupancy, it was
stated.
