state highway department but made
available for the oil company due to
curtailments of the Montana highway
departments construction program.
Those hired are called to New York
city and sent by atrplane TO Colom-

has chosen to illustrate Doctor at

the west Of the '8O's, written by a
Colorado doctor who relates his ex-
periences over half century among
miners and cowboys. Artist Hall, who
has illustrated a half dozen or more
books on western life, is receiving
much attention and many comph-
ments from the reviewers.

Milligan terms a natural" for that
type Of installation and after nearly
20 years of experimenting with water
wheels he believes that they would be
practical for many farmers living
along the Yellowstone.
Thus far Milligan's water wheel sys-
tenn is designed to operate only during
the high water stage on the river.
However, he has plans made to make
it possible to operate the wheels
throughout the summer months.
To divert water for his wheels, Mill
gan has a wing dam extending out
into the river. This brings the water
into a 300-yard long canal, through
q set Of headgates and thence to the
wheels. Each of the big wheels has
paddles four feet wide and IL feet
across which turn the wheels with the
current Of the water in the canal.
Instead Of the usual buckets for
lifting the water, Milligan has built
long narrow boxes into the rims of
each wheel. One of these boxes Is
built between each spoke. On one
wheel the boxes are five feet long and
six by nine inches. On the other wheel
the boxes are six feet long and six
by eight inches. An opening on the
side and at the end Of each box pro-
vides for filling and emptying 1t with
water as the wheel revolveS. Upon
reaching the top the box emptieS the
water into trough which In turn

WILL PURCHASE WHEAT
AT FULL LOAN RATES

The Federal Surplus Commodities
Corp will purchase at full loan rates
wheat which meets the eligibility
qualifications under the current gov
eminent loan program, A. J. Borton,
state executive officer for the AAA,
has been advised by the corporation
Borton explains that this provision
was made for producers who are eligi-
BILE for loan but who have been unable
to provide acceptable farm storage
facilities However, the triple-A execu-
tive suggests that farmers qualify for
a loan II they can because wheat
stored under loan is kept off the mar
ket and wheat sold to the FSCC is
not.
The FSCC will accept offers for sale
in carload lots only and to be eligible
such wheat must grade No. or better
and offers for sale will be accepted
from any elevator In Montana. Pro-
ducers are cautioned they must have
received from the elevator q price
based upon the full loan value Of the
wheat.

thorough irrigation of 100 acres Of al
falfa and wheat.
Milligan built the first of his present
pair of wheels about 1924 and the
second wheel was constructed a year
ago. The wheels replace a chain and
bucket system that proved unsatis-
factory.
Ordinarily, Milligan says, there is
enough water in the river to operate
the wheels until around the middle of
July. However, he plans to extend his
wing dam and deepen his canal so
there viii be enough water to keep the
wheels turning throughout the sum-
mer. He also plans to install a boom
at the wing dam to prevent drift wood
and other trash from washing into the
canal and interfering with the OPP
Grafton of the wheels.
AS a result Of the irrigation water
provided by his system, q 14-acre field
of wheat in 1887 produced a crop of
$40 bushels, Milligan said. Eventually
he plans to seed all Of his irrigated
acreage to alfalfa. He has also rugged
up an engine powered pump on the
main ditch that viii lift water to an
other ditch for the irrigation Of adj
ditiopal acres.
On MilMgan's 976 acres, $50 are stu
ated along the river and with the
exception of the 100 acres he now has
under the ditch, the remainder Of his
farm Is dry land.

NAVY CAPTAIN
MONTANA MAN
FORMER GREAT FALLS RESIDENT
COMMANDS U. S. S. LEXINGTON,
ARPLANE CARRIER

Capt. ]. Howard Hoover, former
Great Falls high school student,
now commander Of the u. s. S.
Lexington, the nations largest air
craft carrier, landed at the Great
Falls airport recently on q scout
ing flight over the Pacific north
west states.
Captain Hoover was accompanied by
Lieut.. E. r. Wheelock In one Of the
two naval planes from the q. s. S,
Lexington.
Hoover piloted a Grammar am
phibian utility plane. The second
plane of similar make accompanied
Hoover's ship and was piloted by
Naval Aviation Pilot T. 6. Weinert,
accompanied by an aviation mechanic.
From Great Falls the planes re-
turned to the ship without Captain
Hoover, who remained to attend a
banquet arranged in his honor and to
spend a few days renewing acquaint
ance with old friends and visiting with
his brother, Harold Hoover, former
Great Falls lawyer and banker, now
head of the legal department of the
Anaconda Copper Mining Co. at
Butte. Harold Hoover was present In
attend the banquet in his honor. The
affair, held at the A. G. M. clubhouse,
was attended by nearly 100.
One Of the speakers of the evening
was Judge F. E. Stranahan of Fort
Benton, who was guardian of the
Hoover boys following the death of
their father at Livingston through ac-
cidental discharge Of shotgun.
Captain Hoover and his brother were
born in Ohio. The father was super
intendent of schools in Medina county,
AAAA .
About 1898 the family moved to Liv-
ingston, Mont, where the senior
Hoover purchased the Livingston En-
terprise. After his death, at the turn
Of the century, the widow and chill
dren moved to Fort Benton and later
to Great Falls. While in high school
at Great Falls, Howard Hoover won
his appointment to the United States
naval academy at Annapolis.
The captain of the Lexington flew
to Montana on an official survey OF
the aerial defenses of the northwest
as they pertain to the navy. Aviation
enthusiasts said officials in Washing
ton had stated some time ago this
area was being scanned for military
defense purposes in connection with
coastal defenSeS. In Washington, it
was pointed out, the populous cities
of the Pacific northwest were vulner-
able to air attack and that airfields
located near those cities would be
centers of attack from invaders. 1t
was also pointed out the Rocky noun
TatinS form an excellent front trench"
that would provide fine protection
from fliers unacquainted with the
terrain.
