RIVER
REPORTED SPEEDED UP

The U. S. War department
will combine its reports on flood
control and irrigation surveys
of the Yellowstone and Big
Horn river basins and expects
to complete the reports by De-
cember l, 1889, according to a
wire from Senator B. K. Wheel
er. The senator said Major Gen.
eral j. L. Schley, chief of the
army engineers, stated the two
reports would be combined be-
cause recent Investigations have
disclosed certain reservoir sites
not heretofore considered.
The army engineers made a
preliminary investigation of the
Yellowstone river basin last
year, and will rush work on the
solution of the flood problem
in the basin as they are aware
of the urgency of the need for
it, the senator said. The reports
will be of great help to the
Montana = Wyoming compact,
which is studying a plan of
equitable division Of the Yellow
stone river waters, according to
E. B. Donohue, chief engineer
for the state water board.
When completed, the program
is expected to eliminate folod
damage by keeping the water
flow at a steady level, and
make irrigation more feasible
by providing sufficient water
during late summer months.
The Big Horn river report will
be combined with the Yellow
stone river report because the
latter is the main tributary of
the Yellowstone, and has a
high rise during flood water
time.

SOLONS
ON BUDGET

One of the first problems put
in the laps of members of the
26th legislative assembly was
the budget for the two years be-
ginning next July. Usually am
ong the last bills to be passed,
the appropriation measures are
studied from early in the ses-
sion.
AS adopted by the state board
of examiners, the budget calls
for appropriations of So, IL IT'S
for the first year and $780,
165 for the second year of the
biennium for maintenance of
state offices, departments and
institutions. The estimated net
available revenue for the first
year is $3,964,28O and 4,O12, $3.50
for the second year, exclusive
of the expected three-mill levy
for the university millage fund.
The budget does not contain
a recommendation for approp-
riations for the Greater Uni
versity, the state welfare de-
partment, water conservation
or teachers retirement. These
appropriations are expected to
be cared for in supplemental
bills proposed during the SEES
sion.

TO HOLD

Senator B. x. Wheeler has,
advised the Montana depart
ment of the American Legion
that a hearing will be held in
Washington, D. c., early in Jan
uary on the need for enlarging
the veterans hospital at Fort
Harrison. Herb Kibler of Helena,
state adjutant for the legion,
said the proposed addition
would consist of approximately
165 rooms and cost between
$15O,O00 and 100000.
The American Legion may
send a representative to the
hearing, but Kibbler said it will
not be necessary because Sena-
tor Wheeler and Senator James
E. Murray will attend. The hos
pital at Fort Harrison has been.
badly in need of space since
several buildings were destroyed
bv earthquakes in 1885.

With another new year just
breaking we have made some
resolutions. Among those resolu-
tons is one to be loyal to Har-
din.
We have heard of Hardin
people who are supported by
local trade and yst when a
shopping tour is in order fol
them it is off to some larger
town to do the buying.
People think that it adds
prestige to wear a dress or suit
with a label from some big
store in a larger town, but does
it add to their prestige to have
people know that they drove
many long miles to shop for
articles that they could have
BOUGHT in Hardin for the same
money?
Hardin's stores carry all pop
ular brands of merchandise that
is sold for the same price as
any store in the country.
Next time make your shop
ping tour in Hardin.
1t is about this time of year
that the head of the family sits
down and ponderS over how
much he owes. He collects all
his bills and budgets his income
accordingly. 1t is Just a natural
aftermath of Christmas giving.
1t is not likely. though that
he will include in his debts a
little item of several hundred
dollars which he probably isn't
conscious that he owes. Yet that
debt does actually exist. It rep
resents his and his family's
share of the I.O.U.'s that lie in
the Federal Treasury. There is
nearly forty billion dollars in
LOUIS there. They represent
the Federal Governments def
cit or public debt.
Right now the per capita
share of that debt is about 1903,
so if the head of a family of
five is figuring up his debts, he
must add $1,515.
That would be quite an item
to have to include in the family
budget. Yet, it is going to have
to come out of every family
budget in the form of taxes
for many years to come.
Well, how much do you owe?

A letter from j. E. Peters of
Beach, Cal. states that
Commanche, Captain Keogh's
horse, that was used in western

at the Custer Battlefield instead
Of being kept at Fort Riley,

SCALED DOWN

Stock rustlers in the Dillon
country have been greatly
scaled down in the last few
years, according to reports from
the sheriff's office there. It
used to be that people there
had to be on the lookout to see
that no one drove off a herd of
cattle. Latest stock crime re-
ports indicate the cattle ruSlers
have gone in for rustling mink
right out of their pens on fur
farms.

"A new Congress, the 10th in
the history of the Republic, is
converting in Washington this
week. And the big news about
this event will not be in the
headlines. Not because the edi-
tors don't recognize the news,
but because it is news too big
to be headlined.
The story began to break
Ito use newspaper shop talk
about 1853 years ago. And it has
been a continuous story from
that time to the present.
The real starting point was
the Declaration of Independ-
ence. This led to the Revolu-
tionary war. The Colonists were
victorious. And the day Corn
wallis surrendered at Yorktown,
the American people became
the first really free people in
the history of the world.
That was really big news.
But the crowned heads of Eur
ope laughed at it. In the inter-
vening years most of the crowns
have gone.
Yet those free Americans
have remained free. The in
strument of government which
they established-a government
by representativeS-has endured
the test. And in Washington
this week there is being started
a new chapter to the story
which had its beginning more
than a century and a half AGO.
The chapter will be CT vital
interest to every American. Not
only the headlines but the body
of the stories will be filled with
news. 1t will be the news of
how another Congress is treat
ing the legacy of individual
freedom left bv the founding
fathers. The care of this free
was left-not to the execu-
tive branch of the government
not to the judicial branch
but to the representative
branch, the new Congress that
is cOnveniro in a world in which
free nations are distressingly
few.

Eleventh hour efforts are be-
ing made to stave off amend
ment of the National Labor Re-
lations Act. Leading the fight
against any amendment is the
CLIO. and allied in the fight
for amendment are the AT.
of L., and an imposing percen-
tage of the Congressman. The
big question mark is the Labor
Department. No one seems to
be able to find out what stand
it will take in the mater.
Privately, Labor Department
hiph-ups are known to be op-
posed to amendment, and the
CLIO. is countino strongly on
support from this quarter.
Spokesman for the administra-
TONS high-ups, however, are
handling the problem gingerlv,
fearing bad public reaction if
the amendments are opposed by
the administration. They are
well aware of recent national
polls indicating a strono major
ity of the public in favor of re-
vision of the labor act.
There is also fear in the
hearts of some in the admins
tration that if the act is not
amended, the result might be
a new wave of public and Con-
gressional indignation and fin
ally outright reveal of the act.
The current brain teaSer ar
ound Washington is this one:
Acting Controller General Ell
lott has ruled that expenditure
of So ,O50, 900 in relief funds by
the Farm Security Administra-
ton to subsidize several hosiery
mills throughout the South is
illegal. Further, he says, these
mills will
throw workers out of jobs and
increase competition with the
South's biggest industry - COT
ton.
Now here's the teaser: The
FSA has already given the
money to the mills. Much of it
has been spent. They say there
is nothing they can do about
it.
It is just a case of the stable
being locked after the horse is
stolen.

what fills the maze of filing
cabinets that are crammed in
to every nook and corner of
Washington's official buildings,
will be interested in these fig
