Mayor Says Water
Shortage in
Critical Stage Now

Mayor A. M. Crilly called at
tention Of water users this week
to the fact that the hot, dry
weather will soon create an
acute water shortage, and that
water will undoubtedly have to
be rationed soon.
The mayors statement is as
follows:
During the last few days of
hot weather, considerable wat
er has been used for irrigating
lawns and gardens.
"Our water plant is running
at full capacity and it is i'm
possible to filter water fast
enough to protect property in
case of fire.
"As the situation stands
now, we have about 10 new
services in the last year, not
including the Veterans Hous-
ing units. More residences are
being built and several bust
ness houses are under con-
struction. This means an ad-
ditional amount of water will
be used each day.
During the month of June,
the water plant filtered about
10000 900 gallons, but several
good rains made it unnecessary
for city water to be used a
great deal on lawns and gard
ems. Should the hot, dry
weather continue, however,
water will have to be rationed.
I'm the meantime, the water
superintendent has suggested
that most watering be done in
the early morning hours in
stead of the evening. This
would help a great deal.
PLEASE do your best to help
the situation"
A.. M. Crilly, Mayor.

Demonstration
ON e|IowtaiI Dam

In and address delivered on
Wednesday at Sidney, w. E.
Rawlings, assistant director,
Region 6, Bureau of Reclama-
ton, said reconstruction act
ivities on the Yellowtail dam
will be completed in 1948
Construction of the Yellow
tail dam and power plant must
precede much of the irrigation
development along the Yellow
stone river above the Miles City
area, as power from this plant
will be required for operation
of pumping units" he pointed
out.
Rawlings was addressing a
meeting of District 20, Montana
Reclamation association.
He discussed activities in Re-
gion 6, with special emphasis
on the work being done in the
counties which comprise Dist
riot 20, Richland, Dawson and
Prairie.
Earlier in his address he
said, Reconstruction work is
being advanced in many other
units of the Missouri Basin
project, but a wide diversity OF
activities must be completed
before a unit reaches the poin!
where construction can begin
A detailed investigation must
be made of every irrigation un-
it, including topographic sur
veys, land classification, econ
omic and ownership surveys
geologic drilling of structure
sites and exploration for con-
struction materials. At the
present time, Bureau of Rec
lamation crews are busy a;
many points in Montana, bring
ing units of the Missouri Ba-
sin project to the point where
actual construction will be the
next step in the program.
I know that it is not necessary
to emphasize that completion
of Investigations to the point
where construction can be plan
ned is necessarily dependent on
the attitude of landowners in
the various units. Their COOP
GRAFTON is a necessary and vita
factor

Bear cubs are among the
most engaging young things we
have ever seen, and each time
we view one in captivity we
have an almost irresistible i'm
pulse to take it home for a
pet - that is until we finally
come to enough to observe the
length of its claws.
Actually we prefer cubs in
their native state. It bothers
us to see them behind wire or
bars or chained to a post some

We made the acquaintance of
a charming pair of them re-

penned and under a sign which
said plainly, do not feed"
Other onlookers were happily
ignoring the sign however, and
the cubs were also not at all
in favor of that theory. We've
never seen puppies do a better
job of begging. One Of them
even climbed the fence. The
scrap which ensued whenever
a bit of food fell between them
convinced us, however, that
they were far from being as
tame as they seemed.
Siestas seem a highly lazy
procedure to us for about II
months out of the year, but
when we get a few days of
really warm weather, we de-
eide the Jatin-Americans really
have something there.
We start the morning full of
vim, vigor and great ambitions.
The warmer it gets, the slower
our typewriter seems to oper-
ate, until along about noon the
thing gives a large sigh, the
keys seem to stick, and we view
it with a vast disgust. We just
can't seem to get the thing I'M

perature drops.
