under state or federal auspices, and
thus make them eligible and with
prior right for water that arises IN
Montana.
Out of the meeting today came
emphasis and re-emphasis on the
fact that even the most ambitious
planning for full utilization of Mon
tana-produced water probably would
not be sufficient to meet all needs
that will be uncovered.
Much of the power that will be
produced by present and proposed
developments will be utilized for lift
ing irrigation water over divides and
into the high benches, reducing by
just the amount the energy that will
be available for industrial power
and extension of the rural electrifi-
cation program.
Indirectly considered in today's
discussion was the problem of the
international waters in which Mon
tana has an interest.
A study of all streams that rise
in Canada and flow into the United
States, and vice versa, from the Gla-
cier- Waterton parks to divide the
Red River in the North is being
made by the international joint COM
and engineering reports on
the waters available are nearing COM
pletion.
Here again the problem of finding
enough water to meet the eventual
demand crops up. Both Canada and
the United States, for instance have
more than enough acreage to utilize
the available waters that rise in
the Belly and Waterton systems of
Montana but which then flow through
Canadian provinces.
Since both nations are bound by
,reaty to submit conflicts to and in
commission there appears
% be little opportunity for Montana,
Alberta and Saskatchewan to nego-
late directly for a division of these
waters. The same situation applies
o the Kootenai, one of the major

Inventory of Water

not acute at the moment but every
indication is there will be a short
age of hydroelectric power and water
for irrigation in the state in the
next 20 years. "Unless steps are
taken to protect Montana's rights,
we may be in a position of being
unable to initiate some new prof.
ect because available water has been
put to beneficial use at some point
downstream, he warned.
While the bureau of reclamation
has made extensive surveys of irri-
cation possibilities on the Missouri
and it's tributaries and now has the
Canyon Ferry and lower Marias
projects in the construction stage,
Bonner said this is the first time a
program has been undertaken for
continuing interchange of informa-
ton between the bureau and the water
board. The board is unique among
state agencies in that is may initiate
reclamation projects.
The fact that the Montana Pow
err Co., has authorized construc-
ton of steam generating plant
at Billings to supplement its hy-
droelectric developments was cit
ed as an indication the day is not
too far distant when other plants
of this type must be constructed to
meet the states power demands.

While this agreement is a signlfl-
cant forward step it leaves much to be
done. The agreement naturally COW
ers only three functions for which
leaves out of the co-ordinated plan
all the land problems, such as soil
conservation, forest and range man
agement, minerals development and
recreation. The co-ordinated plans
still leave two agencies building dams,
which means duplication of engineer
/ ing staffs, and a third agency SELL
ing the power. The combined plans do
not provide for unified operation of
the river structures when they are
completed, which foreshadows con-
siderable confusion when we will have
more than a dozen dams in the river.
Under the eva legislation the
water agencies would be combin-
ed but tina land agencies, including
those in the Department of Ag-
riculture, would remain independ-
emit as they are now.
The eva, however, would be
charged with the responsibility of de-
veloping a regional program which
covered both land and water prob
lens. The Department of Agricul-
ture, as we'll as all the resource agen-
cies, would be asked to participate in
formulating this program. Each year
then the eva would present this
program to Congress so that, for the
first time, the appropriations COM
nittees would be able to see how much |
money is required for each program
n order to move it along in step with |
, balanced development for the reg
on. This presentation should make it
EASIER for agricultural agencies, for
to obtain the appropriations
We all know they need. If the agri-
ultural agencies do not receive suf-
icient funds to carry out the pro-
rams, eva would be authorized to
SIX for them in its own budget and
ould then turn them over to the agri-
ulturaI agency to carry on the work
equired.
The eva legislation also provides
or business-type operation of the
overnment's business-type water and

Mission has recommended. The eva

Continued from last week.

Continued from last week.
1t should be noted, however that
the many Federal agencies handling
these resource programs are not fol
lowing the simple principle known
to every farmer and businessman.
One Federal agency is handling for
estry problems, another fish and wild
life, another grazing problems, an
other irrigation, another flood con-
troll and navigation, another soil
conservation. There is little co-or-
dination of their activities except
in Washington through the Presi-
dent and the Congress. Our present
system makes it difficult to coordin-
ate activities on the spot in the
region, where it should be done.
We even have two agencies,
the Corps of Engineers and the
Bureau of Reclamation, empower
ed to do the same job, that of
multi-purpose dam construction.
In the Pacific Northwest after these
two build the dams, third agency,
the Bonneville Power Admins
tration, sells the power from these
dams but the two other agencies
continue to operate the dams which
they built. 1t is not surprising,
therefore, that these different agen-
cies find themselves competing
for funds, and in some cases dup

Present Implications Don't Make
Sense
In the State of Washington, for in 4
stance, we have the Bureau of Rec
amation spending close to $500 an
acre to make agricultural land out
IF a million acres of desert. Not far
away in the same State we find Soil
Conservation Service spending about
SO per acre over an equivalent per-
Cd for keeping in production about
/ million acres of what is becoming !
ural land in the country. Certainly {
here is no point in spending so much {
o bring an additional million acres
nto production if we lose an equiv /
lent amount of producing crop land
or want of a few extra dollars per f
ere for rehabilitation. We need both r
hese areas and balanced Federal

 AT 10TH CENTURY

The curtains are ripped back on malicious small-town gossip and it's disastrous effect on individuals in Warner Bros deeply moving drama, That Hagen Girl" CO., starring Ronald Reagan and Shir- ley Temple, which is now at the 20th Century Theatre.
 Both of the stars, Reagan and Miss Temple achieve new highs in their careers with their distinctive performances in this poignant story laid in small midwestern town.
 That Hagen Girl' tells a dra- matice story of two pitted against idle gossip. The girl grows up inder a cloud of backyard gossip there being a mystery surrounding her antecedents. As the girl grows up and goes on to junior college the stories finger and when she is confronted by catty girl friends the drama motivates into a near tragedy. The story abounds in dra- matic punch. The small-town re- veals itself with glances, whispers md innuendoes.
