.CORW|N To PRESENT
CASE Of DRAINAGE
IN WASHINGTON, DC.
Committee Head Leaves For
East Monday Night AS Del
egate To Control Body

J. w. Corwin of Park City, chair
man of the Laurel Commercial club
committee seeking reclamation of
farm lands by drainage, will contact
various governmental agencies in
Washington and in person will pre-
sent the case, he stated here Mon
day on the eve of his departure for
Chicago and New York City.
In New York he will attend ses-
sions of the National Alcoholic
Beverage Control association on
April Is and 10 as a representa-
tive of the Montana state liquor
control board to which he was ap-
pointed some time ago by Governor
Ford. The national association con-
sists of members from 1G states
exercising monopoistic control Of
liquor sales and distribution. Mon
tana is one Of the 1G states.
En- route to and from New York
he will stop in Washington TO con-
tact the agencies having to do with
food production and reclamation
and will present the Laurel-Park
City case. Agency representatives
visiting here have expressed APP
proval of the proposal to drain
swamped farm lands in the Yellow
stone valley, but the agencies as
have authority to as
sumo only a portion of the cost. In
asmuch as the project is of such
as to require federal as
sistance in substantial amount, the
chairman hopes to find
an avenue through which to obtain
special consideration for the pro-
pOsal or at least authority for
larger expenditure of federal funds
than now indicated.

PARK CITY PIONEER
DIES IN CALIFORNIA
Mrs. Sackett Succumbs At S5
On March 22 At Anaheim-
Burial Is March "a

! Mrs. Wilde Sackett, S5, widow OF
j. w. Sackett, died March % at
1925 p. m. at the Lutheran hosy
pital in Anaheim, Calf, old friends
here and at Park City learned this
week. She had been i'll the past
three months. A congestive condi-
ton of the heart was the attributed
immediate cause of death. Burial
was March "a at the Anaheim
cemetery.
Mrs. Sackett and her husband
came to Park City from Oregon
about 1855, a short time after the
town was established by a colony
from Ripon, Wis. They lived in
Park City and vicinity some 28
years before going to California
about 1911, SO years ago. For many
years they lived on and operated
a farm three miles east of Park
City. Soon after in the sos they
were located for a time in the
region known as the Lake Basin
country 20 or 80 miles northwest of
Park City, where they had a stock
ranch. Sackett creek in that local
ity was named for the family. An
infant born there was buried on the
crest of a hill near the family
home.
Mr.. Sackett, who died about three
years ago in California, was a mem
Ter of a party of white settlers
who fought a band of horse-stealing
Indians when the whites overlook
the Indians five. miles north of the
present town of Rapelje. In the
battle, two white men were killed. /
After a few years in the Lake
Basin, the Sacketts moved to the /;
Yellowstone valley and resided in
the Park City district.
Mrs. Sackett was born Jan. II,
1859, near Salem, Ore, the daugh-
ter of John w. Greenwood, a native
Of Illinois, and Mary Elizabeth
Newsom Greenwood, a native of
Kentucky. Surviving is son,
Clarence NJ. Sackett of 1913 Lin
coin avenue, Aanheim, two grand
children and a great grandchild.
Another son died at Park City soon
after the turn of the century.

SPEAKER DESCRIBES
MEXICO, ITS PEOPLE

Mexico, a good neighbOr that
many residents of the United States
have never visited and from which
many people will come this summer
to work the beets grown in the yell
lowstone valley, was wildly de-
scribed Tuesday at the meeting of
the Rotary club by l.. M. Prill, pub
Usher of the Billings Midland Re-
view. He had made two tours of
the Mexican republic, the first when
tourist travel was scarcely known
there.
The language, ne said, is not too
difficult and one soon learns to read
the signs and carry on cOnversa-
tion of a kind The people are
friendly and courteous. Evidently
the Mexican nationals who worked
here last summer were favorably
impressed, for Prill said he under
stood many will return this year
and wish to work on the farms they
had last season.
Interested in history, Prill men
toned events in the Spanish con-
quest and subsequent settlement.
The language is Mexican rather
than Spanish, which the speaker
noted for the benefit Of those at
tending Spanish classes in the hope
of being able to converse with the
nationals when they arrive.
The highway southwark from
Texas traverscs the top of the
mountain backbone Of Mexico. At
least three stages Of cultivation
are seen on the mountain sides,
looking downward from the road.
The people do not work too hard,
and in places the planting of a
crop consists of clearing the ground
and poking holes in the surface to
receive plants or seeds. The soil
is adapted to that method. Flowing
is done with wood beam or stick
that is drawn by oxen An owner
of oxen is wealthy. The people are
agriculturalists; the machines of in
dustry have so far made but slight
Mexico is a nation of churches,
and contains some of the worlds
most beautiful examples. Although
there was some trouble a few years
ago, the pople are essentially pious
and the controversy is being gradu-
ally ironed. Prill described several
Of the church he visited and told
Of the beautiful carvings and furn-
ishings. One, he said, was the

GOVERNMENT AGAIN
BUYING UP BUTTER
Resumes April l After Draw
ing On Reserves For Six
Months Last Past

With civilian supplies of butter
at the highest level in more than a
year, government purchases were
resumed April 1.
For the past six months, govern
ment war requirements for butter
have been met from a reserve built
up during months of heavy produc-
ton last spring and summer, per-
mitting the entire production since
September to move into civilian
consumption channels.
Manufacturers will be required
to set aside 10 per cent of their
April butter production. Seasonal
increases in production are expect
ed to maintain civilian supplies at
about the March level.

WASTE PAPER
NEED GROWS
MORE ACUTE
Citizens Asked To Full
ly Cooperate; Truck Is
To Collect Saturday

"Blood plasma, bandages, surgi-
cal sponges, gauze and cottons, first
aid dressings, sulfa drugs and
syrettes are the most critical items
in a long list of life savers that
are demanding packaging and con-
tainers for shipment to all war
fronts" E. j. Kelley, general salv-
age secretary for Montana, said
Tuesday in an appeal issued for
increased collection of waste paper.
"Half the people in Montana are
salvaging waste paper" said Kee-
ley. "The other half have not
gotten around to it yet. Our state
must change this attitude immed-
lately. AS our supply lines to the
front become longer, our packages
must be stronger, and that requires
more waste paper for containers"
Eighty-one tons of supplies a
month are required for each fight
ing man overseas. In the last war
43 tons of supplies per man was
NulllClCII.
Military demands added to essen
tial civilian requirements come at a
time when paper production is down
because of the shortage of its most
essential ingredient, odpulp.
Waste paper must substitute for
lack of woodpulp.
Container manufacturers can use
80 per cent waste paper to 20 per
cent pulpwood in the production of
shipping containers, whereas they
are now forced to use so per cent
waste paper to so per cent pulp |
wood. Increased collection of waste |
paper is, therefore, the only guar
antee of meeting container produc-
tion requirements.
Commenting on the immediate .
need for waste paper, Philip Noel,
Laurel city treasurer and local /
chairman, said a truck will be here
Saturday to haul the material to a
delivery point. He urged all Laurel
citizens to cooperate to the fullest
extent, following previous instruc-
tions as to sorting and packaging.
Noel said farmers wishing to
contribute to the paper collection
may unload their packages on the
sidewalk in front of the city hall,
one of the points from which the
truck will pick up the material.
