Fruit Notes:
Treat peach trees this fall to
control the Peach Tree Borer.
One treatment each fall with
either Propylene Dichloride or
Ethylene Dichloride emulsion
will control this destructive pest.
Propylene Dichloride is some
what cheaper and more effective
than Ethylene Dichloride, but
either material is satisfactory and
can be safely used on any aged
trees. Treat trees in last October
or early November for best re-

Orphans Raise Bum
Lambs To Champs

THE All PROGRAM plays an i'm
portant part in the lives of young
boys and girls all over the state,
and the orphans home at Twin
Bridges is no exception. The Gold
en- Harvest club for boys has had
lamb projects, gardening, poultry,
hogs and calves.
And the club took its share of
honors at county and state shows,
according to Fred Kemp, boys club
leader. The club of even members
took seven red, seven blue and five
white ribbons at the Madison county
fair. Then Club President Joe
O'Greene won the state Snowman

Dry Beans to Be Good
Cash Crop

ACCORDING to A. w. Willis,
Wyoming agricultural extension
service economist, dry edible beans
not only have been a very profitable
cash crop, but also will continue to
maintain a favorable price during
1948.
He reports that the 1947 produc-
ton of 100000 bags of dry edible
beans was 1,000,0 900 bags more than
last years production and about the
same as for the 1936-45 average.
Present prices of beans indicate low
storage holdings, Willis says, and
therefore prices for the 1948 crop
should be strong if general price
levels remain high.
Wyoming's production of 1,40O,-
900 bags of dry beans was the high
est on record for the state, he en-
phasized, and was produced on the
second largest harvested acreage.

Raise Bum Lambs
Bum lambs are given to the boys
by local sheepmen. This year 35
were fed out and then sold by the
boys to the home at the market
price. Complete records of the feed
ing program must be kept by each
boy and turned in when the lambs
are sold.
The boys show a high interest in
the farm and dairy program at the
home. The high producing herd of
26 grade Holstein cows is MIXED

of Howard Hunt, herdsman. Care
of the barn is also part of the boys
program. The barn and cows are
sprayed twice a week with DOT

Power Projects Proposed
Hearings May Be Held This Spring
on Paradise and Glacier View Dams

distance above Ravalli, up Camas
creek about three miles, up the
Clark fork about five miles above
Superior, and up the ST. Regis river
about five miles.
Present plans call for a power
plant at the damsite, about two
miles downstream from Paradise,
that would generate 10000 kilo-
watts from IA hydroelectric units. In
addition, controlled storage would
increase prime power at the pri-
vately owned plant at Thompson
Falls about three times since it
would be possible to assure a steady
flow of 10000 second-feet compared
to the present minimum of around
5000 second-feet.
Glacier View Dam
Plans for the proposed Glacier
View dam, about 20 miles north of
Columbia Falls, are less complete
than those for the Paradise project.
Tentative figures, however, indicate
a maximum head of 400 feet for
power purposes can be provided
with disable storage of slightly more
than 3,000,000 a~cre-feet. The lake
would back water up to within eight
miles of the Canadian border, flood
ing portions of the extreme west
side of Glacier park.
Three units developing $4,000
kilowatts of power are proposed at
the Glacier View site. Between this
point and the junction with the
South Fork of the Flathead are two
other power sites, one with a pros
pective head of 1853 feet and the
other with ITO. Because of the large
amount of storage above Glacier
View, comparatively little would be
needed at downstream points.
Engineers have estimated the cost
of the Paradise project at from
$3.50, 10000 to 75,000,O 600, includ-
ing purchase of all land flooded and
payment for buildings, highways,
railway rights of way and other i'm
provements to be buried beneath
the new lake. No estimate is avail
able on the cost of the Glacier View
development.

press their views of two major prof.
ects proposed for the area, one of
which will bring under irrigation an
undetermined acreage of new farm
land but will displace farm and
ranch homes on approximately 3d.
800 acres of privately owned land,
flood out four existing communities
and parts of two others and force
the re-routing of two railroads and
two highways.
The projects are the Paradise and
port of the proposals was an
nounced by State Engineer Fred E.
Buck following a conference in Sc
attic with army engineers. Buck
later reported he had learned
through telephone conversation
with officials that hearings might be
held in western Montana this spring.
Both projects are for flood con-
troll and generation of power for
pumping projects. Reports on them
are only in the preliminary stage
and are part of studies of the Co.
lumbia river basin which congress
authorized the U. S. army engineers
to make. The full report is expect
ed to be filed with the chief of
the corps of engineers in Wash
ington next fall.
Paradise Dam
Greatest attention is attracted by
the Paradise dam which would ere
ate a reservoir having a surface area
of about $500 acres. 1t would flood
the existing communities of Para
disc, Dixon, Noise and parts of RAJ
valli and st. Regis. 1t would force
re-routing of portions of the Mil
waukee and Northern Pacific rail-
ways west of Missoula and portions
of U. S. highways 10-A and SO west
and north of Missoula and would in
undate about 12,400 acres of cult
waited land of which about $500
acres are irrigated.
What this may mean in terms
of the displacement of established
farm homes has not been estab-
lished, but tentative estimates indi-
cate that new farming acreage at
least equal to that taken out of pro-
duction will be opened by the de-
velopment. New irrigated land
would be developed by pumping
with cheap power generated at the
proposed dam.
This will provide new homesteads
and opportunities and prevent de.
struction of the economy and ta1
base of the region.
Preliminary studies indicate tina
there are about 1880 acres alonl
Camas creek that can be irrigated
with a lift of from 100 to $50 feet
Other areas of as yet undermine
size can be irrigated along the Littl
Bitterroot, across the Flathead rive
from Poison and in the vicinity G
Big Arm and Finley point.

dam across the Clark fork about

"Hundred Years
OF Swedes"

Der 9, 194O.
Persons OF Swedisn descent
living in this area are cognizant
of the fact that the few years
preceding 1947 and the few years
to come are marking the centen-
NAL of Swedish settlements in the
Middle West. While others were
preparing for the vast gold rush to
the West Coast and preparing to
go down in history as '49ers, Swe-
dish immigrants were settling in
the Middle River Valleys and get
ting ready for full production of
plows by John Deere. Swedes not
only have helped make the plows,
but have used them. They have
helped build not only the pillow in
dustry. but they have founded a
rich agricultural empire by grow
ing food :.
"1n 1841 a group under the
leadership of GuStaf UnoniuS set
tied in Wisconsin. BY 1845 Swedes
had settled in Iowa. and by 1916

ty was real project. From these
settlements Swedes famed out to
the northern lumber camps, to the
prairies Of the Dakotas, Kansas,
and Nebraska. Everywhere they
went they have become known as
hardy, Woodworking, self-reliant
people.

Iron Masters
Observe 2O0fh
Anniversary

IF all the gold in the world
disappeared, our civilization would
nevertheless be able to exist. But
if all the steel were removed, the
very foundations of our material
culture would go to pieces" AS the
Swedish Iron Masters Association
(Jernkontoret), one of the most
famous Swedish institutions, cele-
brated it's 2O0th anniversary, its
president, Hedge Silverstolpe.
opened his speech with these
words at the festival in the Stock
holm City Hall.
The Swedish Iron Masters As
ISOLATION is a wholly private insti-
tuition, of which all Swedish enter
prises in the iron and steel indus
try are members. 1t was founded
in order to create better market
ing conditions for Swedish steel
abroad For many centuries SWe-
den had been one of the worlds
the 18th century it was responsible
for up to 40 per cent of world pro-
duction. Nevertheless, the Swedish
steel trade was not particularly
lucrative. Satisfactory prices were
not obtained, which was due part
ly to an inefficient sales organiza-
ton and partly to an inadequate
credit capacity. Through joint CO.
operation in the Iron Masters
Association and with the support
of the Riksbank. the steel pro-
ducers managed to overcome these
difficulties. When Sweden lost it's
predominating position in the pro-
duction of iron, the foundation had
been laid for a worldwide export
of high-grade iron and steel.
The Iron Masters Association
gradually let its commercial inter-
ests go, and began instead to con-
centrate on the promotion of sci
entific and technical research in
the production and development of
iron and steel. The organization
established mining schools, and en-
gagged experts who developed new
methods of operating blast furn-
aces, etc.
When the 200th anniversary was
celebrated, the Association silver
medal was awarded to six fore
men in the Swedish steel industry.
Instituted in 1922, the medal has
only been given 81 times during
the past 125 years. All six are
veterans, who have been with their
companies for 40 or so years. They
belong to old steel families" in
which for generations the trade
has been passed on from father to
son.
In connection with the jubilee.
the new Metallographic Institute
in Stockholm was inaugurated by
the Crown Prince. 1t is located
close to the Stockholm Institute of
Technology. where in recent years
several modern research institute
tions have sprung up. These have
been established by private indus
trial companies in corporations

Police Watch Scene
In Hope Bardwe|
Slayer May Return

Police today remained without
sohd clues to the murderer OF Carol
Bardwell, II. who was found dead
in Rock Greek Park June % with
her throat slashed.
Police kept a watch yesterday on
the area near Seventeenth street
and Colorado avenue NV. where
the Staying occurred. Carol was
killed the preceding Sunday, and it
mad been thought the assailant
might decide to return to the scene
of the crime.
No suspicious character was seen
by the patroImen, however, and the
day passed without promising tips.
Detectives also have been unable
to trace a man reported to have
lunged at woman Saturday night
in a park area in the rear OF the
1400 block of Spring road NV.
If found he will be questioned
concerning the Bardwell case, they
said.
The woman, Mrs. Norma Byron,
35. of 1918 Quincy street NV, told
police she escaped from the mans
grasp without injury. She explained
she had been searching for a lost
dog with her husband.
Police still hope to learn the iden-
titles of three colored girls seen
running from the park at about the
time of the killing Investigators
believe they may have seen the
crime.
A total of $500 has been offered
by police and business and citizens
groups for information leading to
the arrest and conviction Of the
murderer.
