FIR RETURNS HOME
FROM QUEBEC MEET
Chief Executive Expected
To Prepare For Further
ParIeys

WASHINGTON, Aug. 80. -(P)-
President Roosevelt returned to-
day to the capital from the histor-
ic Quebec war strategy conclave
and Immediately conferred with
military, state and diplomatic Of
ficials, apparently laying the
groundwork for a renewal of talks
here with Prime Minister Winston
Churchill Of Britain.
There were indications that the
conference with Churchill, expect.
ed here within week, may be
devoted largely to cleaning up odds
and ends on political war prob
lens and the final polishing OF
plans to smash Japan.
1t was pointed out that the major
questions apparently were settled
at the Quebec meeting since the
conference conmunique said that
the two leaders had approved re-
commenda tons of their military
chiefs and reached agreement on
political issues stemming from
military operations.
Among those conferring with the
President today were Secretary
of State Hull, DR.. T. V. Soong,
Chinese foreign minister; General
George c. Marshall, Army chief
of staff, and General H. H. Arnold,
Army air force commander. All
sat in on the Quebec meeting which
the official announcement said
was concerned largely with the
war against Japan.
Some sources also felt that a
tri-partite meeting of Russian,
United States and British repre-
sentatives-mentioned as possi-
bility in the Quebec announce
ment-might also be discussed by
the chief executive and the prime
minister. A meeting tomorrow in
London Of British Foreign Secre-
tary Anthony Eden, U. S. Ambas-
sador John G.. Winant and Ivan
Maisky, former Russian ambassa-
lor to Britain, added impetus to
speculation on an early three-power
conference.

MILES CITY MEETING REVEALS PLANS
FOR DEVELOPING WESTERN LANDS
Maddox amd Bunston
Attending Hearings
OF Bureau OHciuls

Tentative plans for developing
% projects on the Yellowstone
river and its tributaries in Mon
tana and Wyoming that would
provide irrigation water for 225,-
600 acres in this state and 220,-
600 acres in Wyoming were
brought out by Colonel Lewis A.
Pick of Omaha, division engin-
eer for the corps of army engin-
GERS, at a series of meetings now
being held in Miles City.
The governors of Montana,
North and South Dakota, bur
eau of reclamation officials and
army engineers are in attend
ance at the important meeting.
State Senator Dan w. Maddox
and H. w. Bunston, are repre-
Senting Big Horn county at the
meeting. Funston is chairman OK
the Yellowstone River association
formed recently to further re-
clamation development in Nom
tana.
The most important step in
the development of the Yellow
tone river basin would be the
construction of the proposed
Boysen dam on the Big Horn
river near Thermopolis, Wyo.,
Colonel Pick stated. A similar
link in the development of the
main stream of the Missouri
river would be the Canyon Ferry
dam near Helena, Colonel Pick
said.
The overall plans being dis
cussed at Miles City calls for the
construction of dams on streams
and their tributaries running
into and including the Missouri
river as far downstream as Sioux
Falls, S. D. This would provide
flood control, irrigation and
power development for the eight
Missouri river states.

SLOAN TALKS ON
LAND PROBLEMS
Tells Kiwuniuns of
1000 Acres of Idle
Irrigated Ldnd

The topic of a talk by Carl
Sloan before the Hardin Kiwanis
club Wednesday was idle IT.
rigated Land on the Big Horn"
Mr.. Sloan said that in 1912
an estimated 1000 acres of ir-
rigated land on the Big Horn
river were not under cultivation,
and that 1943 figures would be
far higher.
Such a condition would be a
great detriment to the COM
munity in normal times, he
pointed out, but now, when every
effort to exceed food production
goals is being made, tn problem
is especially serious. This loss
of crop acreage is held respon-
sible for the fact that Big Horn
county has been unable to meet
many of its production quotas.
The speaker enumerated the
four points as a proposed pro-
gram of reclamation which has
been presented to the authorit-
les having jurisdiction over
these lands as follows:
!. Extension of leases to 10
years to enable tenants to stay
on a farm long enough to en-
courage the improvement of the
farm land.
2. Improvement of farm fac
ilities such as wells and building
to the extent that better tenants
