NeIU High Tension
Transmission Line
For Eastern Montana

Preliminary work has started toward
the construction of new high tension
transmission line, providing additional
service in eastern Montana, according
to Frank M Kerr, honorary president
of the Montana Power Co.
"Our engineers are now making a
reconnaissance" said Mr.. Kerr, "for q
proposed 100, OOO-volt line. which viii
be built this year from Harlowton to
Lavina, a distance of As miles, at a
cost of 5000, 900. On completion, 1t viii
be tied into the present 5O,000-volt
system in that area and operated as
such.
I'm 1941 we expect to complete the
other 45-mile section from Lavina to
Billings, which is already being served
by three high tension lines, two from
Mystic lake and one from the north.
This added transmission capacity viii
insure even more reliable service and
will be amply sufficient to take care
of the mounting power demand IN that
section Of the state"

Custer National Cemetery
Has New Superintendent

department plans to make the Custer
Battlefield cemetery one of the show
places of the country The entire
cemetery grounds within the enclosure,
nearly seven acres, have been seeded
to blue grass and clover and native
cedar trees and other shrubs planted
on the tract.
This spring 1t is planned to plant
additional shade trees and Shrubbery
and hundreds of bulbs of many vari-
cites, the superintendent reports.
Another improvement at the site Is
construction of modern highway con-
Meeting the Custer battlefield with the
Reno battlefield, four miles south. The
road is now about so percent complete,
with IL miles yet to be graded. The
entire stretch Is to be graveled and
oil surfaced and win provide drive
way along the battlefield ridge over
looking the Little Big Horn valley.
The new highway will reduce the dis
lance Of the present road between the
two points by more than half.

Montana Boosters
Advertise State to
Radio Listeners

The z-Bar radio network, which OPP
crates stations at Butte. Helena and
Bozeman, is giving Montana some of
the most extensive advertising the
Treasure state has ever received
Through It's three stations-KGIR at
Butte. KPFA at Helena and KRBM at
Bozeman, the network reaches hun
dreds of thousands of listeners with
an all-night program, lasting from 10
o'clock every Saturday night until
Sunday morning.
Ed Cranery, operator of the station,
advises that the first portion of the
program Is designed for Montana
people, to better acquaint them with
the marvellous scenic and other vaca-
ton attractions of the Treasure state.
The last portion of the program is de-
signed for out of state listeners.
Every listener who writes In Is sent,
by mail, an attractive Montana Boost
er souvenir, consisting of buffalo stick
ers for the windshield Of his car, and
copper buffalo charms.
Since the state legislature has not
money for advertising the
states tourist attractions, the Z-Bar
Is giving Montanans, Inc, the
most effective type OF assistance in the
efforts of the State Chamber of Com
merce to bring more tourists to the
state.

fit was company II, 1O8th infantry, I'd

He attained the rank Of corporal soon
after his enlistment.
He escaped injury all through the
war, but In some battles his face was
burned black with powder, but those
scars had largely been erased with
the passage of rs years.
Following the war he turned to re-
habilitation work and was dispatched
at one time with $4,000 IN relief
money for Mississippi residents who
had been made homeless from flood.
He carried the money in valise and,
dressed as a tramp, moved safely up
and down the flooded area dispensing
relief funds.
In 1907 Colonel Reiche came to
Montana and in 1915 he succeeded
Col. Wilbur F'iske Sanders as Mon
