Department.
Technically, tn e papers COM
prised a note from this govern
ment to Canada rejecting a
Canadian proposal for the sale of
surplus power within the United
States. But this refusal was based
on the premise that the Canadian
proposal could be taken up only
in connection with a reopening Of
negotiations over the entire Great
Lakes st. Lawrence waterway
proposition.
RATIFICATION BEATEN
LAS the Canadian government
is already aware" the note said,
this government (the United
States) is ready and eager to
enter into and push to speedy
conclusion, negotiations looking
towards a mutually satisfactory
agreement dealing with the
varied and important problems
of the Great Lakes-St. Lawrence
River basin"
In the past, the President has
had nothing but bad luck in his
support of the 1882 Great Lakes
St. Lawrence waterway treaty,
which failed of ratification in the
United States Senate. But he has
never given up hope that the day
will come when this pact or one
along the same lines is ratified.
AS originally signed by Secre-
tary of State Henry L. Stimson
and Canadian Minister Herridge
on July 10, 1882, the treaty ar
ranged for cooperation in complet-
ing a 2,0O0-mile, 27-foot deep chan
mel through the Great Lakes and
the st. Lawrence to the sea. It
also allocated about 100000
horsepower of hydroelectric en-
ergy to be developed from dams
to be built.
NEW DRIVE?
Whether the lengthy discussion
given the subject in the note made
public today indicated the begin
ming of a new drive to this end,
State Department officials pro-
fessed not to know.
The Canadian proposal rejected
was for export of Canadian power
into the United States through
diversion Of 1900 cubic feet per
second of Kenogami River water,
via Long Lake, into Lake Superior.
Such project, said the American
note, dated March II, would have
the effect of upsetting balances
and provisions of the 1909 boun
Diary treaty.

Ralph j. Anderson was born in
Illiois and was graduated from the
University of Colorado Law School,
beginning his practice in Lewistown
in 1912 He is married, Mrs. Ander-
son being the former Miss Laurette
Kelly of Minnesota.
According to those who have
watched his career, Ralph Anderson
is a thorough thinker, endowed with
admirable common sense, loyalty to
the high posts he has won and to
the Treasure State. BY taking his
fall share of responsibility in writ
ing the opinions of the Montana SUI
preme court, the court calendar, for
years far behind, has now caught
up and cases are heard in this tribu-
nal with promptness; an enviable
position in the eyes of litigants,
throughout the nation.

Justice Anderson
To Seek Reelection

LEWISTOWN, May 14.-With the
completion of his first term as asso
ciate justice Of the supreme court,
Ralph J. Anderson of this city has
announced his candidacy for re-elec-
ton. Since 1884 all judicial candi-
dates make the race without party
designation.
= Ralph Anderson brought to the
supreme court the benefits of 20
years practical work in the law,
during which time he held the posi-
tons of city attorney of Lewis
town, deputy county attorney of
Fergus county, and a member of
the legislature. This field of the
law, combined with world war serv-
ice and wide general practice on
behalf of farmers and working men
living in the central part of the
state, provided an exceptional foun-
dalton, attorneys point out, for the
heavy work which fell to him in the
supreme court during the last few
years.
During this period the Montana
bench was called upon to pass upon
many new and unprecedented ques-
tons of law, involving widespread
changes, and, for the first time
reaching far beyond the ''old school"
of legal decisions. In writing an I'M
usual number of opinions and on a
wide variety of questions, many
new to courts throughout the coun-
try, Judge Andersons work was
watched with keen interest, not only
in Montana but by residents of other
states as well. Special recognition
was accorded Judge Anderson in
that many of these opinions were
