Hardin Bulldogs Basketball Team, Fans
Take off Today for Laurel for State
Class B Cage Tourney Beginning Today
Hamilton ond
Hurdin Rated
Strongest Teams

The Hardin Bulldogs and
their coach, along with a wide
ly assorted group of local fans,
took off for the state basket
ball tournament at Laurel to-
day.
The exodus from Hardin was
gradual, with some confirmed
basketball fans leaving at noon,
determined not to miss a game,
and others planning to attend
the night sessions only.
The Bulldogs meet their first
foe, Anaconda Central, in the
last contest of the first round
tonight. The whistle is Schedul-
ed to blow at g pm.
The Anaconda team is rumor-
ed to be a strong outfit. Their
style of play was said to be
somewhat similar to the Bull
dogs, especially on offense, and
they usually employ a man-to-
man defense.
Hardin, though favored to
come through to the finals,
may have trouble getting
around its first opponent. If
the Bulldogs win tonight, they
meet the winner of the Shelby
Scoby game Friday.
Hamilton and Dodson are
considered the strong teams of
the opposite bracket. The state
champion Hamilton five is rat
ed the team to beat.

Murray Reports on
With
Truman About Dam

Senator James E. Murray last
Thursday urged President Tru-
man to send a supplemental
message to congress recon-
mending the inclusion of an
additional appropriation of S.
100000 in the Interior approp-
ration bill.
Murray said such an approp-
ration would permit construc-
ton to start on Yellowtail dam
during the coming fiscal year.
The senator stated that he had
requested the appointment with
the president in order to point
out to him "the great import
ance of this project to the en-
tire reclamation and power
program in Montana and Wyo-
ming.
The Montana senator stated
that the president assured him
that my request would receive
his most careful and sympa-
thetic consideration and that
he would promptly advise me
of the action taken"
In discussing the proposed
project, Murray made the fol-
loWino statement:
1.-THE Budget bureau allowed
$500,000 in the 1949 budget for
continuation of work atYel-
lowtail dam. An additional ap-
preparation of $3,100,000 is nee
cesSary for the fiscal year to
carry on an orderly and effic-
lent program. Under the presi-
dents policy, no new major
dams are to be started during
the fiscal year 1949. YslloWtail
dam is definitely not in the
category of being a new dam.
AS of June 80, 1947, $467,074
had been spent on YelloWtail
dam and an additional $627,O 600
was appropriated for the fiscal
year 1913. Plans for camp sites,
access roads, etc, all neceSsaru
to construction have been COM
pleted. The dam is now ready
for construction and it would

Up and
DOu1n
+ the Street

We're all set for the state
basketball tournament. In fact
we're taking off as soon as the
paper is put to bed-and maybe
a bit before. We want to see
that Hamilton team play its
first game, if we can make it.
We're going to the meet with
the expectation of getting a
fair deal from the Laurel fans,
and we've got a bunch we are
not going to find too much to
criticize in Laurel.
Here's why. We read our ex-
changes, among them the Laur-
Ell Outlook, with a good deal of
interest, and the Laurel press
certainly displayed fine sports
manShip and a very fair atti-
tude toward the events of the
late Southern Division tourna-
ment. The editors rave the
Bulldogs due credit in their

and Coach Jinx Anderson, in
his column, "The Coach Com
mentS", doesn't have a single
grippe. We're going to quote
him in this column, because we
think Hardin basketball fans
should be aware of his fairness.
He begins his column by dis
cussing the game with Red
Lodge and paying tribute to the
Coyotes and their coach Bill
Bruer. In speaking of the Lau-
rel quintet he says &C.. There
is one thing I am convinced of,
and that is that the boys were
not 'eocky' so to speak. They
just didn't have it that night
and Red Lodge did. One of the
Red Lodge boys commented to
me that they wanted to win
that game more than anything
else they knew, but. after it
was all over he almost wished
they hadn't.
Eyes, it's a fact that there
was some truly fine sportsman
ship displayed-by the players
that is. Elmer Skeie in award
ing the trophies Monday night
commented on the fine way in
which Bill Sorg and Don Ham
mer left the game in Satur-
days contest, and mentioned
that he hoped the fans would
catch some of that spirit. He is
right; otherwise the bigger pur-
pose behind the competitive
playing of athletic contests will

High Incidence of
tuberculosis
Found in County

The Montana Tuberculosis
association recently released the
findings of the mobile x-ray
unit which took chest pictures
in Big Horn county last July.
The report indicates that the
incidence of the disease is un-
usually high in Montana. Dur
ing the past five years, the re-
port says, So persons in the
county have died from the
disease, giving this county a
death rate of almost four
times that of the state of Nom
tana as a whole.
Approximately one-third OF
the X-rayable population parti-
cipated in last summers sur
vey and A persons were refer

aminations. OF the A, Is WERE

tions. Reports after six months
show that only nine of these
cases have been diagnosed and
Is remain as suspects. Only two
cases are incomplete because
the patient failed to report
while IL cases are not complete
because the physician failed To
report.
A comparative summary OF
this case-finding survey with
accumulated experience in other
counties reveals the following:

surveys. The six months sum--

It was pointed out that the.
findings indicate an acute need
for an active and intensive

protect the health Of the resi-

New Law Governing
Grow Competency
Signed by President

Amessage from Senator zales
Ecton Tuesday revealed that
President Truman had signed
a new federal law, passed by
both house and senate, giving
Grow Indians power to assume
charge of their restricted lands
for their own use or for lease.
The law became effective
last Monday 1T was stated.
Under previous regulations
the number of Indians declared
competent was set at SIS in
1920. No provisions were made
for the Crows who have be-
come adults since that time. Of
this SIS, 318 are still living, &C
cording to an Indian services
administrative officer.
Under the law up to the pres
ent, all Crows have resource to
federal officers and the federal
attorney if their leases are vi
olated. All they need do to have
the government intervent is to
file a complaint with the res
ervation superintendent.
Exact provisions of the new
law were not available here. It
was thought that it either ex-
tends competency provisions to
additional Crows or makes
them completely independent of
federal officials with regard to
their leases and rent collec-
lions.
Further information regard
ing the law will be published
in the Tribune Herald as soon
as it can be obtained.
