POWER CHIEF
IS URGED BY
PRESIDENT
International News Service

President Roosevelt today rec
commended to Congress that a
provisional administration be set
up to operate the Bonneville power
project in the Columbia River
basin.
The Executive transmitted to
Vice President Garner and Speaker
Bankhead a report from his COM
mittee on national power policy
which suggested the nature of the
temporary Setup.
1t was proposed that an admin
iStrator be appointed for Bonne-
vile by the Secretary of the In.
terror. he to act in consultation
with an advisory board composed
of representatives of the Secre-
taries of War and Interior and OF
the Federal Power Commission.
Would Sell Power
In order to insure the greatest
benefit for the general public, it
was suggested that not less than
so per cent of the power produced
at Bonneville up to January l,
1899, should be reserved for sale
to public and cooperative agencies.
Rates would be fixed by the
administrator subject to approval
of the Federal Power Commission.
Finally, it was stipulated that the
project should become Self-sup-
porting, although initial funds
will be necessary for construction
of transmission lines, operation
and administration.
Approving the recommendations
of his power policy committee, the
President declared:
"Such legislation should be Of
a provision character pending
the establishment of permanent
administration of Bonneville and
other Federal projects in the Co
lumbia basin, but should not be
inconsistent with national power
policies which may be hereafter
adopted"
PRIVATE SALES
In reServing so per cent OF
power for State, county and mu-
I1lCIpdl dSCILC1Co, GllC ACPOAV ouS-
geSted that such power not pur-
chased by public agencies might
be temporarily disposed of to pri-
vate concerns. 1t was stipulated
that after January /, 1889, when
ever there might be conflicting or
competing applications from pub
lie and private agencies the pub
lie agencies should be given pri'
ority.
The administrator would be au-
thorized to provide transmission
lines, subStations and other facili.
ties to bring Bonneville power "to
existing and potential markets"
and to interconnect Bonneville
with other Federal projects now
under construction.

body and became a law.

to 2 with that figure. The Senate
pared these figures to the bone,
making it impossible to give suffi-
cient relief to enable the recipients
to live with any semblance of de-
cency. For the reason that the Sen
ate had seen fit to kill most revenue
raising measures and then had cut
the original appropriations on the
plea of insufficient revenue. Some
of us felt compelled to vote against
the bill as amended by the Senatea
The Senate amendment passed the
House by very slender majority.
The bill as it is now is huge joke

low any political subdivisions to car
ry on PWA works by the issuance of

erty without allowing the taxpayer

eliminated the bill passed the House
and also the Senate.

Countless orators, politicians and

to tell their listeners of the great
wealth that has been taken out of
Montana hills. But it has remained
for Gluek Auf, student publication
at Montana School of Mines, to give
the actual figures. And not only
for gold. The edition devotes a full
page, in small type, showing the year
In which each metal industry got
under way, the amount produced
and the value thereof.

copper was first produced in 1882.
Nine million pounds were mined

But ladies must eat! And the
pickings were both lean and IN

But times have changed-and
plenty! Today the average orlde

go with it, for many moons before
she enters matrimony. She has

Henceforth she must share the.

carry the whole load. Her freedom
is gone-likeWise most of her fire

Life becomes one long lament.
Why. oh why'd she do it? why
did she exchange exciting, care
free liberty for this continuous
pain-in-the-neck? Was Romance
worth it-and if so, how and why?

Maybe that will make the prospect
brighter-though I doubt it.
Dear Elsie Robinson:
I'm %, divorced, and for me,

Every normal girl wants

picks her favOrite and goes to

for the job of husband and
father. After more or less of
struggle she lands him, and for
a few weeks or months there's
bliss.
