2 Million Dollar Jobs Done

Electrical energy for operation;
at the damsite here now is surg.
ing thru the new 28S-mile power
transmission line from tn Rainbow
substation near Great Falls to Fort
Peck, the district engineering office
here has announced.
All electrically operated equip
ment is in place & has been tested
on its new energy source. Stormy
weather along the route of tn line
recently afforded what engineers
said were ideal testing conditions.
During the test the line was charg-
ed with higher voltage than will
be required under actual service
conditions.
The light load now carried on
the line will be increased when
dredging operations begin.
This hi-line million dollar con-
tract is the End small million dol
lar job in connection with the dam
that is now recently completed &
in full operation, Walker & lie
barth being nighttime bldrs. The
other small million-dollar job is the
filtration plant & reservoir on the
hill which furnishes water supply
& fire protection for the new govt
town of Fl. Peck and the common
laborers are being seut home and
only the finishers & head men re-
tanned on the job. This watering
outfit is the plant that sunk the 100
foot well on the banks of the Mis-
souri, river here connecting by tun-
mel with another screened intake
well out in the river. Powerful
electric engines at this pumping
station force the water thru 12.i1.
mains up the long 2-miIe slope to
the filtration plant.

stick EN- Up"

Two attempted hold-ups here ir
the project towns have been re.
ported to this office in the last WIZ
& both were at filling stations OF
garages, one in Lakeview and one
here in Wheeler.
Last Friday mite in Lakeview
just as the crowd at midnight was
dispensing from the free beer serv-
ed by the local tavern, 2 strangers
stopped in front of j. A. Quiring's
garage just as he was locking up.
One stranger started for the door
saying What is the chance to get
some gas?"
Not suspicioning foul play Mr..
During turned with his back to
the stranger & was unlocking his
door to re-enter when he felt a gun
damned in his ribs with the COM
mand: Stick EN- up! Stick EN- up

now were centered in trying to drag

kidnap him & rob him away from

on him from his cash register.

Wheeler Building Boom Is or

A person in wheeler is likely tt
wake up over night & find a new
neighbOr & his shack or mansion
as the case may be, occupying the
vacant adjoining lot of the night
before, or he may rub his eyes al
sunrise some morning in his bee
& failing to see the sun & finding
the neighborhood in darkness may
peek thru his window smack up
against the broadside of one of the
big construction Cos spare bldgs'
which had been carted in from
the expanding govt town during
the night.
So here are some of the buildings
or improvements that have come to
Wheeler town in the last week or
10 days:
A. W. Young has his new house
nearly completed.
Friedl's store moved their Mid
way store (the one that was rob-
bed) up to Wheeler & put it along
side the Wheeler store, thereby
more than doubling their size here.
The Markle-wheeler Hardware

age and living quarters. Dan Oak
land is local mgr.

Sen. Wheeler De-
tends Gov. Project

leHQS UOV. PROJECT
Well, the great Senator Wheeler
has come & gone, that is he visited
the project towns here, made his
campaign speech at Glasgow and
with his convincing oratory is now
ing down all opposition to these big
government irrigation projects.
Among the big govt allottments
for Montana that the Senator is
sponsoring when IN Washington
are the following:
500. 600, 900, for the completion of
Fort Peck; the Big Horn Canyon
project, south of Billings, estimated to
cost $4,000, 900; the Hungry Horse
and Flathead Power projects in
Flathead and Lake counties involv-
ing about $4,000 coo; the Buffalo
Rapids development affecting five
southeastern Montana counties,
$3.50, 600; and several smaller pro-
jects in all sections of Montana.
The federal government is already
pledged to the investment of about
$500 900 in Montana" Senator
Wheeler said. But other Montana
applications to the number of about
40 and involving some $50, 900, 900
additional, including about $4,000
900 to be set aside for the comp
letion of Fort Peck, are still pending
before the various departments.
Bourquin says Fort Peck is useless.
Should he be elected, of what pos
sible assistance could he be in pre-
senting the claims Of Fort Peck for
the additional allotments to a Dem
ocratic President?
And the Fort Peck Dam will
harness but a small part of the water
resources of Montana.
The Fort Peck develops but a part
of the main stem of the Missouri,
we hope to win approval for a great
reservoir in the Big Horn Canyon
to control the Big Horn river and
to irragate tens of thousands of acres
of land in that section. If construct
ed, it will cost some $32,000,000 but
be worth every penny. | am hope
full also that the Yellowstone will
be tanned as a federal project. We
must have the Buffalo Rapids pro-
ject, which have just recently had
up with the people of Southeastern
Montana. They appreciate that
it is their salvation and I for one
intend to do all in my power to see
that their application is brought to
a successful conclusion. Then there
are also the branches of the Col
umbia, with the Hungry Horse
reservoir and the Flathead power
possibilities, estimated to cost about
900. These are all fed
eral projects and should be develop
ed by the federal government for
and flood control. On each
of these great rivers there are
of tributaries.
We could keep an army of 1O0,-
300 men busy in Montana for the
next ten years in the proper devel-
of our water resources. Let
ne quote the words of President
Roosevelt speaking at Fort Peck:
Before American men and women
Jet through with the job we are
;oing to make every ounce and every
;allon of water that flows from the
heavens and the hills count before
t makes its way down to the Gulf
f Mexico
IF we can do but 1O% of what
be President says we will do be-
ore we finish with the job we need
OF worry about moving people out
f Montana. There will be homes
nd a means of livelihood for all
ow here and for scores of thous-
nds outside our borders. New

CIGARETTE CAUSES A PAIN
Full AUTO ACCIDENT

Mr.. Marion Hickman, Of Kings
Creek, met very unusual and painful
accident while driving from Princess
Anne to his home in an automobile,
one day last week.
Riding along leisurely and enjoy
ing a cigarette, Mr.. Hickman reach
ed his arm out of the car window
to strike the ashes from his cigarette,
when large passing truck grazed
the side of his auto, tearing the knob
from the car door and breaking his
arm in five different places.
AS soon as he could summon assis-
lance, the injured man was taken to
a physician, where the arm was set,
and, although still suffering much
pain, Mr.. Hickman is getting along as
we'll as could be expected.

The fact that this college is nation
ally known is evidenced by the fact
that seven states are represented in
the Freshman Class of ninety-five
students, already enrolled and more
to come. Twenty-Five of the new
Freshman class are from Kent Coun-
ty which is one of the outstanding ex-
amples of the value of this institution
to this county.
The convocation exercises were held
Thursday morning at which DIR. Gill
bert w. Mead, delivered the address
and the exercises included the aca-
demic procession to William Smith
hill in which the faculty wore the aca-
demic robes. This formal affair mark
ed the official opening of the college.

SUNOCO MARKETS
SUPERIOR BRAND
OF MOTOR FUEL

That there are times when it pays
to be different is the Interesting opin-
ion of Mr.. Robert Weir, Jr., the Sun
Oil Company's local branch manager.
As an instance he cited his COM
pany's policy of making only one quail
ity of motor fuel, instead of two or
three grades.
"For a motor fuel manufacturer to
divert from the usual procedure of
having different grades of gasoline, "
he says, "is quite radical departure
from established practices. For years
almost all gasoline manufacturers have
marketed an extra price gasoline and
another gasoline to sell at regular gas
price. Then, in some sections manu-
facturers have introduced third
grade gasoline.
Instead of following this procedure
our Company has confined all its eff
forts and resources in producing just
one grade of gasoline, the best we
know how to make. We have no Sec
ond grade, no third grade. But in this
one grade we have been successful in
combining high test action with high
knockless power and in eliminating
the need for knock-killing chemicals.
In other words, our one and only motor
fuel, is pure petroleum product.
"And, since we have no second or
third grades, such great savings are
effected in the number Of delivery
trucks and pumps and in the refiner-
les and warehouses, that we are able
to sell Blue Sunoco at regular gas
price.
"Blue Sunoco has only been on the
market for seven years, but in that
time it's use has extended to fifteen
states and Canada, with over a million
motorists now using it regularly"
