DEwart Completes Campaign
Tour Of Eastern Montana

veterans and war workers at the
conclusion of hostilities.
If D'Ewart is sent to Congress,
Montana will have departed from
the somewhat established custom of
electing n of the legal fraternity
to represent them in Washington.
The two present United States Sena-
tors, and the one Congressman now
in office, are all attorneys, and
doubtless D'Ewart would be of
much practical assistance to the
other Montana members of Con-
gress, through his experience, in COL
laborating on the many phases Of
national legislation which are OF
vital Importance to the state.
Mrs. D'Ewart did not accompany
him on the trip. While she is a
native of the state of Massachu-
settles, and a Wellesley graduate,
she readily adapted herself to Mon
tana ranch life. While the Senator
is campaigning, she is superintend-
ing the operation of the ranch as
well as performing all Of the regu-
lar tasks of the Montana ranch wo-
man.

shortly, in the process of transfer
ring our armies in Europe to the

million men will pass through he

through Understandable suffering in
the European war, they face the
reality OF going back to fighting in
the Pacific war.
When we think of the sacrifices
these men are making" MI. Brock

DAMS WILL Be
BUILT IN West
COUNTY AREA
Soil Conservation Service and
North Grazing District
Sponsor Program
BY Courier Correspondent

HTNSDALE-A range dam build
ing program involving more than
fifty separate projects is well under
way in the western Valley county
area, according to r. c. Fargo of
Glasgow, agricultural engineer for
the soil conservation service. The
program is sponsored jointly by the
soil conservation service and the
North Valley County Grazing Dis
trict.
Under an equipment usage plan,
the soil conservation service has
loaned to the grazing district three
caterpillar tractors, two scraperS, a
ripper, a truck, two grain drills and
a scraper drag which will be oper-
ated by the grazing district to build
dams and other water conservation
structures within the boundaries OF
the grazing district. This equipment
will build about thirty-five dams
this year, Mr.. Fargo says, and h
balance will be constructed by priv
ate contractors.
Farmers and rancherS having
dams built will pay Is cents a yard
for dirt moved whether the work
is done by the grazing district or by
private contractors. Soil conserya-
ton payments under the Triple-A
will reimburse a stable portion of
the cost to the ranchers.
Surveying for the dam sites and
other water conservation structures
is being done by the soil conserva-
ton service. Mr.. Fargo says. Farm
ers and ranchers wishing to take adj
vantage of the opportunity to have
dams built should apply to Neil d.
Campbell, secretary of the grazing
association, or to n of the direc-
tors, who are Lee Ellsworth, Virgil
McVee, Collins Kerr, John McColly
and Frank Cradle.

soring a program to replenish the
list OF people who are willing to give
their blood to those in need of blood
transfusionS at the Deaconess hos

and able to give blood, to help a
very worthy project. Blood will be
typed and tested for its suitability
for tranSfusions, and these records
will be placed on file. When blood
is needed, a person whose name is
on this list will be called and asked
TO come to the hospital to give
their blood.
All people, men and women, be-
tween the ages of Is and so, who are
physically able and are willing to
participate in this project, are re-
quested to call Miss Liam at the
health department, Phone
