in Great Falls Tribune

Helena, May 6.-"When once found
to be navigable, a waterway remains
So" the federal power commission
legal staff contends in brief filed
with the commission in its action to
force the Montana Power Co. to take
federal licenses for its operations on
the Missouri and Madison rivers.
Copies of the brief, filed in support
of testimony taken in a long hearing
before a trial examiner here last No
vember and December, have just been
received here. The commission will
not start its deliberations until the
power company files its reply.
= Particular emphasis in the commits
sion staff brief is placed on the fact
that there was navigation on the Mis-
souri, between Great Falls and Stubs
ferry (now covered by Hauser lake,
in the late 10Th century.
However, the commissions case
does not rest on this alone. 1t con-
tends the nine developments on the
Madison and Missouri rivers = from
Hebgen reservoir near Yellowstone
national park to Morony dam below
Great Falls-constitute essential parts
of a complete unit hence should be Ii
censed as a unit
The power company has an applica-
ton pending for its Madison plant
alone 1t contends every project on
the Missouri was lawfully located and
constructed and is lawfully operated
and maintained
Commission counsel holds, however,
the company had no authority for OPP
Grafton and maintenance of the Black
Eagle, Rainbow, Ryan and Morony
projects near Great Falls and that
permits issued for construction and
operation of the Hauser, Canyon Fer
ry and Hebgen projects never have
been transferred to the power firm.
The brief asserts the final power
permit for Hebgen reservoir, which
adjusts seasonal flow for power pro-
duction downstream, is due to expire
in 1864 but that it was not transferra-
Bile by the original owner to the power
The same charge is made
against the company's claims to law
full occupation of the Canyon Ferry
site
Original authorization for Hauser
development, the brief asserts, expired
in June, 1914, and there is nothing
on record to indicate application for
a transfer to the power company or
for new permit.
Commission counsel agrees the per-

nit granted Montana Power in 1920
for the Hotter development recognizes
a proper transfer of the original au-
thorization for the dam but insists its
operation is integrated with the other
eight plants. This permit is due to
expire in 1868.
The power company challenged the
commission staff's contention that the
four plants near Great Falls are in
navigable waters, having presented
much evidence in the hearing here
to show the utter impossibility of
travel over the falls and rapids which
occupy a large section of the stream
between Fort Benton and the mouth
of Sun river.
1t also has insisted that the head
of navigation insofar as interstate
commerce was concerned was at Fort
Benton, we'll down stream from Nor
ony, and the government by congress

has made Sioux City the head of navi-
cation.

his boxing skill in his American
bow last December, uncovered his

1861.
With the greatest Garden crowd

French sailor from Algeria caught
up with the rugged Brooklyn belt
er midway of the second round and
put him away for the full count at
2 minutes 10 seconds of the heat.
Until he pulled the trigger on
his high hard one, the French
flailer had trouble against Green's
crowding, bodybuilding style, and
local larruper was given the
first round on points.
But Marcel went to work in the
second, caught Harold near the
ropes with a right hand that stag
gered the Brooklynite. Green
tried to close in, but Cerdan step
ped back and fired right hands
with the precision and regularity
of a h~eavy-calibre rifle. Finally,
n of them toppled Green and
referee Eddie Joseph counted the
full ten over him.
