agreed upon which, when coupled
with the building of international
dams, will protect existing uses and
make possible considerable expan-
sion.
Floods of great magnitude peri
odically wreak havoc in the commu-
mites bordering this stream and
flow unused into the Gulf of Mex
ico," the statement said.
1t was pointed out that almost
100000 acle feet of water year is
wasted in this region where soil and
climate combine to make it one of
the most fertile in the world. Ratifi-
cation of the treaty would provide
more adequate irrigation and a
great increase in productivity, Stet-
tinius said, and provide for the
building of large storage dams to
held floods in check and double the
use of the water supply.
Opportunities for the generation
of hydro-electric power will also be
jointly exploited" the statement
said, thus contributing to the de-
velopment of mining and industry
in the communities alCng the Rio
Grande."
SITUATION INTOLERABLE
Stettinius said that the water
problem between Mexico and the
United States has remained unset
I tied for so long that there has come
into existence "a we'll night intoler-
able situation, which the completion
of Boulder dam on the Colorado
river early in 1885 has aggravated
rather than relieved"
Stettinius concluded by recon-
mending the treaty unreservedly to
the senate and stated:
II cannot over -emphasize its i'm
portance from the standpoint of in
! ternational good will, brought about
not by the gift of any natural re-
source but simply by the application
! of those principles Of Gently and
equity which should govern the de-
termination Of tie equitable inter-
ests of two neighboring countries In
! the waters of in tern a n
streams
The matter may develop into an
all-out battle between California,
which opposes the treaty, and other
Colorado river basin states, most OF
which favor it.
Senator Sheridan Downey, CD, ,
California, told reporters he intend
ed to Cffer an amendment to split
the treaty into two documents, one
dealing with the waters Of the Rio
Grande river and the other dealing
with the Colorado.
Senator Carl Hayden, CD, Ari-
gona, testified before the committee
ccnce. ming an alleged trade" be-
tween the California and Texas
delegations in congress at the time
| of the passage Of the Boulder Dam
act in 1927
| CLAIM TRADE DEAL
At that time, Hayden said, it was
generally understood" that Texas
would support Boulder Dam in re-
turn for a California promise that
some CT the waters stored there
would be given to Mexico. In return
for that water, Hayden said, Mexico
was to give Texas large percentage
of the water from the Rio Grande
river
The present treaty gives the Unit
ed States app oximately GO per cent
of tie waters of the Rio Grande
rising below Ft. Quitman, Texas
although the United States contrib
utes only 80 per cent CT the water to

At MEETING
Officers of State Chamber
Here Outline Peacetime
Detectives

Accomplishments of Montanans,
Inc, the state chamber of COM
merce, during the war and its
peacetime goal of developing small

gineer, and j. B. Lane, field man.
Highlights of work in reporting
opinion on national legislation and
in the current advertising campaign
to attract tourists to Montana were
sketched by Mr.. Ferguson. He told of
work directed by Montanans during
the war to survey employment pos
sibilities in Montana rural and ur-
ban communities. The survey
revealed that, on the basis of those
expecting to return to the state, its
people will have to create from
10000 to $4,000 additional jobs.
He also told of the highway
activity sponsored in drawing the
highway debenture referendum,
which has made possible a SAC, 000,-
900 highway program for Montana.

SCOTS TAKE
MALTA; SCORE
IS 10 TO O
Reverses, Power Plays Ac-
count for Glasgow Scores
in Grid Contest

Exhibiting power in both the back
field and the line, Glasgow high
triumphed 10 to 0 in its first home
football contest with a scrappy
Malta team here Friday night. At
tendance was good for the early
season game.
Glasgow cinched things in the
first half with two counters. Neither
team showed to best advantage the
second half after a wind-driven
drizzle began falling, making the
ball soggy and slippery on the
greasy gumbo field.
1t was early in the first period
that Glasgow first scored. The Mus
tangS received and made some pro-
gresS for a first down but were then
held and kicked to the Glasgow AZ.
The Scots reeled off Is yards on
three runs. Then, from the Malta
As, Gallagher spun IN a reverse
around right end and ran to the
Mustang Is before he was crowded
out of bounds. Play made 3 at
center, but LoSleben broke through
to drop Koon for a yard loss and
Glasgow was set back 5 yards o
by an offside penalty. Sternhagen
got 2 at guard and Gallagher 9 at
right end to make it fourth and
five to go. Then Sternhagen broke
away on another reverse around left
end to outrun the Malta secondary,
dive over the goal and score. Try
for point failed and it was 60.
Edwards, snaky Malta signal
caller, gave the Glasgow stands a

next kickoff and cut and lodged
to the Glasgow As before he was
finally hauled down. But the Mus
tangs we're stopped, then Edwards
lost the ball when he was slowed
up on a bad pass from center, then
attempted to toss, only to be tackled
hard. The ball bounded away and
Glasgow recovered on the Malta "A.
A 15-yard penalty again set the
Scots back after a 9-yard gain by
Play. But it was again Gallagher
who ran around end, evading or
running over 5 would-be tacklerS
until he was stopped on the Mus
tang l6. lobe Miller, newcomer to
the squad, went in and on the
play, a modified reverse, gal
loped around left end to paydlrt.
Sternhagen's spinner into the line
was good for extra point. The sec
ond quarter had just begun.
Most of the period was played on
fairly even terms, a highlight a
from Murphy to Spartz good
for 16 yards. The Mustangs re-
a potentially dangerous
aerial attack but had little oppor-
tunity to use it..
Late in the third period Siman-
ton fumbled a Glasgow punt and
Cap Czyzeski recovered on the
Malta 80. 1t was then that a new
Glasgow backfield power was re-
vealed in Cecil Dykstra, junior and

week is over. Clearing skies and
warmer weather should make con-
ditions ideal for the harvest before
the week is passed, it is thought.
For the first time, 1945 will see
all beets in the area loaded by ma
chimes, Moore stated. This will en-
able harvest workers to complete
the job in the normal time, despite
the bumper crop, he explained.
Twelve new beet leaders have been
added for this years campaign,
bringing the total in the Glasgow
area to 81.
Though no mechanical harvest
ers have yet been tried here, at least
one is expected to be operating be-
fore the season closes, Moore pre-
dicted. He also reports great in
terest in h~arvesters for next year,
or as soon as new models can be
turned out by some of the leading
farm implement manufacturers who
have been working on the problem
for several years. Several successful
designs are reported from manu-
facturerS and growers who have used
them.
To assist in the beet harvest 800
German prisoners of war and 90
Mexican nationals have been prom
Used for this area. The Mexicans
started arriving Monday for use in
Hinsdale, Saco and Cole districts.
Other will arrive before the week is
over.
Greatest acreage increases are re-
ported at Nashua, where 1900 acres
will be harvested this year, COM
pared with 1000 harvested last year.
Fully $500 acres r expected in
this section in 1916, Moore believes.
A new receiving station will OPP
crate for the first time at Cole to
take are of several large first year
growers. The entire Glasgow area
extends from East Wiota to Cole.
In this area sugar beets represent
by far the largest cash income from
irrigated farms, Moore claims, with
total cash receipts to growers ex-
pected to aggregate approximately
$4,000, with the value of beet
tops bringing the total income from
beets to considerably more than
$500, 900.
Among the new growers who will
harvest a sugar beet crop for the
first time in 1945 are Charles II.
McChesney, of Saco, who will har-
vest 100 acres his first year that
are expected to average Is tons
to the acre, and Byron Beebe, of
Saco, with 80 acres expected to v
erage u tons to the acre.
Beet growers of this area are eX-
pected to receive around $3.50 a
ton for beets of the same sugar
content as the average of beets in
the district for the past ten years.
In 1916, beet growers will receive
for beets of the same quality
a guarantee already made by
the federal government. This in
creased price incentive. plus uncer-
tainty about other farm commodity
prices for 1916. plus constantly in
,reasing facilities for handling beets
mechanically are all factors which
should greatly expand acreage next
year, Mr.. Moore points out. In fact
he looks for expansion of the in
each year so long as process
sing plant facilities will permit.
