Line East Is
Built by
Co.

The Montana Power company ha!
completed construction of a 214-milC
power line east from Glasgow along
the Fort Peck highway, it was re-
ported this week by II. K. Near
local manager for the company.
The line originally was to be built
east only as far as the Glasgow
stockyards. Request for a line to
this point was made by officers of
the Valley County Livestock Sales
association. l. o C a ! organization
formed to build a livestock sales
ring at the yards, last spring.
This portion of the line was built
without charge to the association
to provide power for lights and
pumping from a well to be drilled
on the site. .
Farmers and others later requested
the company to extend the line as
far east as the Los Angeles club,
both for domestic S and to pro-
vide power for pump irrigation from
the Milk river. A three-phase, 1900
volt transmission system is now
completed.
The line vas built on contract
by the O'Neil Construction COM
pany of Havre. Construction here
this time was made possible
because the O'Neil company is
building considerable new line Tor
the Montana Power both east and
west of Havre and it was possible to
divert construction men from that
work for a week to do the work
here.

With stimulation of interest in
fishing and outdoor recreation along
the shores of Fort Peck lake. every
Sunday there are generally from 90
to 100 cars in the ranch area, pre-
viously almost isolated.
When the rancher and his men
were rounding up stock in a cculee
Sunday they heard bullets whiz
near their heads from over a ridge
above them. Investigating, they
found two visiting hunters on the
other side OF a hill firing at a
target with a high-powered rifle.
The target was 81 placed that bullets
were not stopped.
When the "sportsmen' were told
Of the hazards to men and stock, Mr..
NickelS said n replied. You
don't own this land and we can stay
here just as long as you can" Part
Of the ranch is on leased acreage.
Il like to see folks enjoy them
selves, but if these stock losses keep
up I'll either have to do something
or go out of business" Mr.. Nickels
declared.

sioner of agriculture.
Mr.. Kruse is making a statewide

Glasgow Wac
Discharged
with ; Stars

A record of almost two years SER
vice in the Pacific, with three battle
stars. is held by Miss Jeanette
Hovland of Glasgow, daughter of
Mrs. Mabel Hovland, who arrived
home Saturday after her honorable
discharge with the grade of ser
geant at Camp Beale, Calf.
And, although she is not laxative
about her experiences, it is evident
that the battle stars have real
meaning. After being stationed at
Hollandia, in New Guinea, she was
with the first planeload of WACs
taken to Leyte. Coming in they
reached Tacloban field just as it
was under Japanese air attack.
Then, she was transferred to Man
lila in April. Although it had been
taken over by the Americans, it
was still full of japanese snipers
and she saw a number shot. Like
many other veteran soldiers, she
learned that there were many
casualties after an area is officially
announced secure"
Her work was at general head
quarters of the army forces in the
Pacific and she frequently saw Gen.
Douglas Macarthur, as well as many
other military leaders.
one of her most vivid memories
of the Philippines is that of the
children standing at the garbage
cans after mess, begging for what
was left on plates of the WACs.
"A friend writes me that they do
the same in Japan-it kind OF gets
YOU" she commented. Her out
standing impression when she
reached Honolulu was that, for the
first time in almost two years,
everything smelled clean. She had
left behind the musty, moldy odor
that is universal in the tropics.
Among Glasgow men she saw
were Ronald Mundt, BUD
Hodapp son of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed
Hodapp, and Orville Lewis son OF
Mrs. Bessie Lewis. She will resume
her work as secretary at Hanson
Mersen Motors here Monday.
