Conservation proiecf
May Be Resumed

After a delegation of Roundup and
Ryegate residents informed the Mon
tana Water Conservation Board in
session at Helena, that sponsors were
confident funds to obtain needed
machinery and supplies would soon
be forthcoming, the board Thursday
announced possibility of resuming
work Don on the Dead Mans Basin
project.
Pictured here are various scenes
taken by WPA engineers at the giant
project in central Montana, earlier
this year. Worked successfully by
FERA and WPA, this 100000 water
conservation undertaking is spon-
sored jointly by Musselshell, Wheat
land and Golden Valley Counties
and the State Water Board. De
signed to store $4,000 acre feet of
water by Water Board engineers,
who made the survey and promoted
the project, Dead Mans Basin was
forced to suspend operations this
summer due to lack of sponsors
material and heavy equipment con-
tributions.
Until its suspension the job had
employed up to 500 WPA workers
monthly. These men, representing
unemployed coal miners from
Roundup and Klein, and farmers
from adjoining counties who we're
forced on relief by the drouth, were
housed in a large frame camp built
by WPA near Shawmut, last year.
Most of the $4OO, 900 spent on the
project thus far has been on digging
of a 12-mile intake canal which dur
ing the spring flood stage will divert
through the medium of a low dam,
surplus waters from the Musselshell
river. The waters will run through
the canal into the vast natural stor-
age reservoir known as Dead Mans
Basin. Later, during the dry season,
this water a be released through
gates and a short canal, back into
the river to maintain a stabilized
flow which will make useful many
existing irrigation systems dependent
upon the river.
OF recent years flow of the Mussel-
shell has been useless during late
summer and fall for irrigation pur-
poses, and a rich agricultural and
stock country extending for more
than q hundred miles down its course
has suffered severely.

HISTORIC MOMENTS
Continued from Page q

political bedfellows of Bourbons.
Now that the sheep have been sort
ed from the goats, now that each
member of Congress is branded with
a true label, politics are going to be
slightly more sane, decent, and
logical.
In the reactionary camp, openly
aligned with the policy of the prior
rights of property over human life,
sailing under true colors, a Stalwart
Republican or a Bourbon Democrat
is a decent sort Of gentleman whom
one can respect. Now that I know
where to place him, sure that never
again a he give the kiss of death
to New Deal policies, I can enjoy
Woodrum's dulcet voice and pulchri-
tude. Knowing that at last he is
harmoniously placed with the re-
dictionary Southern Democrats, 1 can
admire Tinkham's ~luxuriant whis-
kers, and hope that he may long so
well represent Massachusetts re-
dictionaries.
Whether New Deal Democrats will
gain control of the party and make
it really progressive, or whether the
Bourbons will hold on to the shell
while the liberals build a new party
is not a matter of moment right now.
Time and developments will solve
the problem; we can cross that
bridge when we reach it. It is
enough for me at the moment to
know that the days of subterfuge,
c%amouflage, trickery and lies are
gone. Conservatives are ~conserva-
tives, p%rogressives are progressives.
We will wear our own labels, fight it
out on honest issues, and may the
best gang win.
I have watched history being
made, and shared n of the most
profoundly dramatic events of our
national life. But the birth of this
new era was no twilight sleep. 1
am battered and sore, hot, weary,
and homesick. Toss me that talcum
powder, please, turn the fan a bit
more this way, and don't mention
the heat. The shouting and the
tumult are over, tomorrow we will
give the flivver a big beaker of gas,
and off home to California.

ENJOY CAMP
AT PILLSBURY
Co. NJ Members Have Good Time
And Are Comfortably
Located

A visit to Camp Pillsbury Mon
day afternoon revealed that the
members of Co. M, Of this city, are
comfortably located and that they
are enjoying camp life in it's fullest
measure. The huge camp Is made
up of troops from Minnesota and
surrounding states, both National
Guard and regular army units.
Pillsbury has grown from a village
to bustling military city.
Army life in concentration
camp, such as is located at Pills
bury, is not monotonous as the
boys are kept busy most of the
time. The boys are we'll cared for
and the food is good. 1t is cooked
in the large kitchen, under the dir
ection of Sergeant Cummings, by
Morton Weeks, head cook. The
kitchen is scrupulously clean, and
the food is well prepared. We
ought to know, we had some Of it..
At the present time preparations
are being made for the large sham
battle to be fought by the Blues
and the Greens. The Greens, mod
ern and motorized units, are To-
Gated at Pillsbury; the Blues, with
horse-drawn equipment, are sta
toned at Camp Ripley.
Sunday night both armies will
break camp and for several days
will march across country to a
point half way between the two
camps where they will engage in
battle. It is expected that the ar
mics will meet about Wednesday.
Over sixty judges have been as
signed to the duty of selecting the
winner, and the points are given
on correctness and strategy.
Those from this city in camp late
Monday afternoon and evening
were E. Olson, Rudolph Nathe, Sig
urd Holme and Ed Rattle.
Monday noon the 147th Artillery
of South Dakota National Guards
stopped in Sank Centre and parked
on the school Fairgrounds. /. This
outfit consisted of seven batteries,
two service batteries and one head
quarters battery, with a total Of
approximately 700 men. They left
this city at one o'clock and at five
o'clock when the visitors Of this
city arrived at Camp Pillsbury
they were set up in camp and ship
shape for work. The 147th is a
light artillery unit.
In talking with the boys of Co.
M, we learned that they are having
a good time, and all of them
agreed that they were having a
wonderful experience. Mosquitoes
are bad but each Co. member has
a mosquito netting for his cot. The
boys are housed in large tents,
with possibly five or more in each
tent.
At Camp Ripley military activity
has reached great heighth and the
forces there and at Pillsbury num-
Der about $4,000 men. This Is the
greatest mobilization since the
World war.

MONTHS TRIP
TO EAST COAST
Gladys Thornbloom And Beverly
Gray Returned From Wash
ington, ID. G.

There's a taxi at each elbow in
Washington, D. c." said Gladys
Thornbloom, when she and Miss
Beverly Gray returned from a
months trip in the Capitol City
and the eastern coast this week.
Her observation as regards the
prodigity of hacks" stated that
there are three times as many
taxis in Washington as in the Cit
les of Chicago, Pittsburgh, and
Philadelphia combined. She and
Miss Gray had accompanied Mr..
and Mrs. Nolan Gray back to
Maryland early in July.
Outstanding memories of the
trip was the visit to the home Of
the Dionne quints in Calendar, On
tario. Said she, They're cutter than
their pictures The visit to the
magnificent Niagara Falls was an
other impressive sight. In Wash
ington they visited public buildings
including the bureau of engraving,
the White House. They sat in the
visitors galleries in the Senate
chambers, passes secured through
Senator Shipstead Of. L.-Minn0 +,
during the discussion over the
court bill. A fifteen minute concert
that was stretched by repeated en-
cores to two hours played by Jesse
Crawford and his Is piece band
was one of the delights of the trip.
Mr.. and Mrs. Crawford both play
organs with the orchestra.
Good old southern hospitality
was far superior to the treatment
of visitors rendered in the more
northern eastern cities, Miss
Thornbloom found when she visit
ed the Blue Ridge mountain re-
gions in Virginia.
Relenting to the pressure of this
age of speed, the two girls return
ed via Chicago on the fastest
trains. It took % hours from
Washington to st. Paul on the
Shenandoah, crack eastern train,
and the Burlington Zephyr from
Chicago. They travelled at the rate
Of 122 miles per hour.

Ed Dickhaus Says
CCC Threatened
Two-Year Limit To Take Effect
September lists With
Co. M"

The permanency Of the Civilian
Conservation Corps-though made
permanent under President Roose-
velt's second term-may be threat
ened, said Ed Dickhaus, as he re-
viewed some of the new restric-
lions affecting the CCC that will
be in voge in a short time.
Ed, a 38-month CCC'er, arrived
in this city last week end on a
leave that launched him from one
camp to another when he left on
Sunday for the war games at Pills
bury with Company M. He has
been with the outfit in northern
Minnesota for three years and has
been raised to an overhead" pos
ition.
Restrictions and a general dis
taste for the CCC organization are
bound to affect the permanency
and effectiveness of the group, he
said. A two-year limit, which takes
effect September 81, will shunt Ed
out Of the organization. In all out
Of his company numbering about
80, 40 of the older and experienced
men will end their regime with the
outfit through the limit order. An
other order which places an age
limit of Is years will remove a
good many and at the same time
eliminate many possible recruits.
Distaste for the CCC was evil
denced when the last reenlistment
orders were posted, he said. A
three-day period 1t was necessarily
extended to a month when the
boys refused to sign. Company
strength of the outfit Is 100, but
around 80 is the best they can
command, Ed said.
The company he Is with have
been building roads and game pre-
serves in northern Minnesota. But
the rub comes in the fact that the
preserves are interlaced with fire
trails. "You can't have BOTH" he
said. when the roads and traffic
come, the game goes"
Ed is undecided what his course
will be after his ousting in a gen.
eral shakeup on September 81.
