extricate him.
Giknis, a 40-year-old Brooklyn

said he had dropped a monkey
wrench into ar empty molasses

him get it out.
Giknis said sure, and proceeded
to let himself down into the car.
Right away he found the car not
exactly empty, and himself in a

The molasses was ankle deep

gummed up the works, not to men,

situation-from above-and went to
work rigging up a boatswain's
chair.
Two hours after Giknis first found
a kicker in the sticker, he fastened
himself into the chair and the cops
hauled away.
Out of the sickness came Giknis,
unhurt but not unSweetened.
Get the wrench?" asked his pal.

MEETING OF FARMERS
VIEWS DRAINAGE FOR
$4,000 LOCAL ACRES

At the Masoic temple Thursday
night the Laurel Commercial club
sponsored a meeting between the
State water conservation board and
Yellowstone valley farmers from
Laurel to Park City to consider
drainage of $4,000 acres in this area
that is damaged from 10 to 100
per cent by excessive seepage. Fred
C.. Buck, chief engineer of the Mon
tana water conservation board, told
the meeting of the $650,000 made
available to the water conservation
board by Governor Sam Ford's spec
ial committee which had Az mil
lion dollars set aside three years
ago by the state legislature.
Of the $650,000 available for the
water conservation board, 100000
was allocated for the use of the
Laurel Park City drainage program.
This money is not a grant but could
be used as a loan for the purchase
of all or part of a bond issue, the
proceeds of which could be used
for drainage purposes in the area.
Buck stated that if the money was
not used or plans made for its use
by the first of the year it would
be used on another project.
Ralph Fifield, construction engln-
eer on the conservation board, pre-
scented detailed drawings of the pro-
posed drainage canals. ]. l.. Park
er, Park City and Molt large scale
farm operator, reported he had re-
claimed about 1000 acres in the area
within the past year at a cost of
between SO and $40 per acre. At
the time he built his ditch he con
tracted for removal of gravel at 9
cents per yard. Keefer is installing
two rotary pumps and will pump
approximately 300 inches of water,
now flowing through his private
drain ditch, back to the land for
irrigation purposes, which he esti-
mates will be cheaper than buying
additional water and which will al
~leviate additional drainage problems.
Bryant Nutting and w. B. Harlan
each have an individual project and
Vinton Shay is contemplating one.
A special committee consisting of
B. l.. Price, o. M. Void, F. w.
Schauer, and o. V. Howe made a
survey of the area directly west of
Laurel Friday morning. Buck and
Fifield accompanied them on the
survey.
John w. Corwin of Park City,
chairman of the Commercial club
committee, presided at the meeting
and reported that R. W. Clark, vice
president of the Northern Pacific
railroad, had volunteered the serv-
ices of its agricultural men and the
cooperation of the railroad in fur
thering the project.
John o. Laird, president of the
club, opened the meet
At the close of the session
lunch was served.

Phone RATE Increase
Effective Next Monda,
Ordered in Maryland
By the Assoeiotsd Press

BALTIMORE, Feb. 6.-The Public
Service Commission has authorized
temporary increases which will raise
the monthly bills of virtually all
Maryland telephone subscribers by
from Is cents to $3.50.
The Chesapeake g. Potomac Tele-
phone Co., which serves all except
few small areas of the State, was
ordered to make the increases effec-
tive on all billings after next Monday
and on message toll rates starting
March 6.
The increases are temporary,
pending a commission decision on
higher permanent rates requested by
the company. The commission is to
start hearings on the permanent
schedules March 18. The increases
authorized yesterday will not con-
tinue for more than nine months.
The PSC estimated that the tenn
porary adjustments will increase the
company's income by $3,500,000 an
nually. It required the company to
post $2,700,0O0 bond to guarantee
refunds to subscribers should the
commission later deny the perma-
nent increases.
The rate increases do not apply
to separate c. & P. company which
serves the District Of Columbia, but
they do apply to suburban sub
scribers in Prince Georges and
Montgomery Counties.
In asking for the temporary ad-
justment, the company said its an
nual operating revenues have in
creased by $19.0O0,000 in the past
10 years and its capital investment
by $40 900 600, but its annual net op-
Grating income has fallen by more
than 81 1000, 900.
The commission said it found the
temporary increases are "just and
reasonable" because the company
Is earning less than the amount set
as a reasonable return on its in
vestment.
The company told the commits
sion it plans to carry out a $47,-
100000 expansion program In the
next two years.
