LUMBER SHORTAGE

Critical shortage of softwood
plyWood needed Tor military and
essential civilian uses is due
chiefly to lack of manpower in
the woods and to a resultant
curtailment of log supply, WPB
officials stated this week.
Current production of soft
wood plywood is at a rate of
1,350,000,00 square feet per
year, and is not sufficient even
to meet military requirements.
Though present production is
12.5 per cent greater than that
in the pre-war year, 1910, it is
Is per cent less than amount of
softwood plywood produced in
1912. Distributors inventories
now amount to only 81, 600, 900
square feet, representing about
a three weeks supply. The in
ventories in many cases include
plywood already sold and a.

Announce Change
In Benefits Rule

Unemployed workers drawing
benefits under the Montana un-
employment compensation law
will not be declared ineligible-
for such benefits during a per-.
iod of disability caused by ill.
ness, unless offered suitable
work, under provisions of an
amendment to the law effective
July l, the unemployment COM
pensation commission announc-
ed last week.
The Commission pointed out.
however, that this amendment
pensation commission ANNOUNCE
to the law is not a disability or
sickness insurance benefit as
such, but is a claimant disability
benefit. The commission en-
phasized that a claimant to be
eligible for continuance of I'M
employment compensation must
first actually be drawing bene-
fits. A person who becomes i'll
on a job cannot claim benefits
under the unemployment COM
p%enSation act.
The amendment to the law
was passed at the 1915 session
of the Montana legislature. The
experience OF the commission
has been that many worthy
persons were cut off temper
arily from benefits because they
happened to become i'll or dis
abled at a time when they most
urgently needed the benefits.
The commission feels that such
a thing is unfair, and to the
end of remedying an undesir-
able aspect of the law, sought
and won the amendment.
The change puts unemploy-
ment compensation on a similar
basis with readjustment allow
ances paid to returned service
men who are unemployed. These
allowances for veterans are con-
trnued through a period of ill
ness while the veteran is draw
ing unemployment benefits un-
der the Servicemen's Readjust-
ment act.
Information concerning this
amendment to the Montana
law may be obtained at any
public employment office.

BUCK OBJECTS
TO MURRAY BILL
(WNu Service)

Irrigation interests in the
Missouri Valley are opposed to
a Missouri Valley authority, not
only because it is unnecessary
but because it would destroy
the system upon which the ag-
ricultural economy of the irri-
cation states has been founded"
H. L. Buck of Billings, declared
in an interview made public
this week.
Buck, who represented the
Montana Reclamation aSsocia-
ton and the Yellowstone Basin
ASSOCIATION at the hearings on
the Murray MVA Bill before the
Senate commerce subcommittee
pointed out that collectively
and by individual communities,
the farmers of the valley have
worked through the years with
the established federal agencies
and congress for flood control,
irrigation and the development
of the land and water re-
sources.
Citing the Yellowstone basin
as an example,, he explained
that its economy is based on
irrigated agriculture made up
for the most part of small ir-
rigation districts which are de-
veloped, owned and operated by
the farmers. Their most valu-
able property is the water to
which they have established
claim, taken from the streams
it is proposed, under the Muir
ray bill, to turn over to a re-
gional authority.
Section 10 (a) of the Murray
bill", he continued, "sets up a
provision whereby owners of
land to be irrigated become
water tenants of the author
ity which has full power to
make rules and regulations
governing such tenancy, It is
our belief that the Murray bill

Wait For R.E.A.
Lines and Poles
Hove Most of Needed
Mdteridl. Lack Engineer
To Stdrt $4,000 Project

With a previous loan of $780,
900 and the 5000 signed for
last week, the Big Horn county
Rural Electric cooperative has
a total of $143,00 for new con-
Struction work, which only a.
waits the obtaining of an en-
gineer and poles.
There has apparently been
some confusion in reports re-
garding the construction of
some of the lines, and B. H.
StutSman, manager Of the
county REA, has made the fol-
lowing statement to clarity the
situation:
Here is just a line up in the
order the lines have been ap-
proved by the WPB and the
REA:
"Parkman extension was an
proved by the War Production
Board at Washington, D. e. and
the REA office in St. Louis on
Nov. rs, 1914. This was approval
for AZ miles of line 70 be built.
1.-THE Van Cleve extension
north of Hardin was approved
by WPB and REA On Dec. u,
1914, for seven and one half
miles.
THE w. H. DUEL and Brown
extensions were approved by
WPB and REA Feb. 10. 1915 and
Feb. %, 1945, for eight miles.
The board of trustees signed
the papers whereby this COOP
erative is to receive $5O,OO0
for the construction of these
lines. On that date this office
was instructed by REA to order
materials to be used in the
building of the approved lines.
At the present time we have
most of the material except the
poles. The inability to obtain
poles is holding up the building
of any and all of the extensions
at this time, but the condition
will be relieved in the near fu-
ture.
1.-The Lodge Grass-Rotten
Grass extension was approved
by the WPB and REA March
IS, 1945. At this time the WIPE
had deleted the st. Xavier and
many other short extensions
that did not qualify under the
U-1-C ruinlg. But on May IL,
l945, the WPB withdrew the u
&c ruling, making it possible to
build extensions up to the $685.
700 cost limit to any place, pro-
vlding the monthly minimum
guarantee is ample to Justify
the building and maintenance
of the lines. That is regulated
by the cost of the building of
the lines.
ION June Is the board of
trustees met to sign the papers
IN the amount of $93 900 for
the building of the extensions
on Lodge Grass Rotten Grass,
st. Xavier and a few extensions
a mile or longer, and now we
have $143, 900 in all for all the
extensions that have been sign
ed up for and approved.
These extensions will all be
built as soon as the poles are
available and a contract can be
let. Construction cannot start
until the board of trustees is
able to get an engineer to be-
gin the stalking of the respect
i've lines. The pole situation is
the one thing that we find will
delay the building of extensions
