Gives Approval
To l4O-Mile Power
Line From Fl. Peck
TO HELP PROVIDE LOW COST POWER
FOR EASTERN MONTANA
IRRIGATION.

The war production board has
given its approval to construction of
a l40-mlle power transmission line
from Fort Peck to Glendive, it was
stated this week in a letter re-
ceived by The Courier from William
E. Warne of Washington. assistant
commissioner of the bureau of re-
clamation.
This line would bring Fort Peck
power to a point on the system of
the Montana-Dakota Utilities COM
pany at Glendive. Negotiations are
now under way with that.
n 1t is hoped that a mutually sat-
istactory arrangement will be reach
ed which will result in the conser-
vation of natural gas by the replace
ment OF gas-Steam generated power
with hydro generation, and the sup
plying of low cost power for irriga-
ton pumping" Mr.. Warne's letter
states.
The Montana-D Dakota is now
supplying power for the Buffalo
Rapids and other pump irrigation
projects in the Yellowstone valley in
eastern Montana. The power line
project must also have executive
approval OF the president before its
construction.
Approve Frazer Line
Construction also was approved
by the war production board of a
20-mile transmission line from
Frazer to Wolf Point" Mr.. Warne's
letter states. This line would close
a gap between the existing line
owned by the Indian service. which
extends from Fort Peck dam to
Frazer, and the Montana-Dakota
Utilities line which extends westerly
to Wolf Point"
The Fort Peck-Frazer lines pre-
sent terminus is at the pumping
plant south of Frazer which provides
water for the Frazer Oswego Indian
irrigation project.
The route of the Fort Peck-G Glen
dive line would parallel as nearly as
practical the existing highway, to
facilitate maintenance and patrol
work, Mr. Warne's letter adds.
Funds are available to begin con-
Struction of the lines, for which
specifications and invitations for
bids are being prepared. Items such
as cost of the project and the
revenue from sale of power have not
yet been definitely determined" he
states.
Office at Peck
The bureau of reclamation has
established a local office at Fort
Peck located in the laboratory
building of the corps of engineers.
Allen Mattison is in charge. Plans
for the line are being developed
there.
The corps of engineers started
operation of the Fort Peck power
plant last June. BY terms of the
Wheeler Fort Peck power bill. the
engineers are in charge of power
generation and the power will be
turned over at the plant switch
board to the bureau of reclamation
for use in irrigation projects.
Present output of the plant is
being purchased by the Montana
Power company. 1t is transmitted
west on the war department line
to rainbow substation near Great
From there. relays make its
use possible for war production in
the western United States.

MANSFIELD FILES
FOR CONGRESS

Mike Mansfield of Missoula, representa-
tive from the First Montana district,
today filed his papers for denomination
with the secretary of state. In a state
ment Congressman Mansfield said he
would make no promise to any group,
organization, or individual, except to
continue to do his best for all the people
all the time. Our first job, he said, is
to win the war as soon as possible and
to build a foundation for a secure and
lasting peace.
Mr.. Mansfield further stated that, as
one Of the youngest veterans of the First
World War, he is vitality interested in
the welfare Of our servicemen and
women now and when they return. It
is our obligation to them to see that they
lteceive every consideration. Further
more, we who remain at home must con-
sinue to maintain the America they
knew for them to return to.
TO me, Congressman Mansfield con-
tiued, the preservation Of u country
and our democracy are of paramount
Importance and to secure this end all O.
us must work shoulder to shoulder. Unit
is the key to victory. In this period o
emergency we should put aside all GU
differences and work for victory, peace
and the welfare of our nation"
