company considered acquiring

Reports were made by both
the Army and the Bureau of
Reclamation on this project
between that time and 1943.
One report by the Army recon-
, mended it provide the storage,
and another by the Bureau
proposed three low dams on
the Big Horn between Kane,
EWyo., and the mouth of the
canyon.
In the fall of 1913 the Army
engineers, pursuant to a direc-
ton from the Flood Control
committee of the House, made
! what has been termed the
Pick Comprehensive Report for
the protection and development
of the Missouri Basin. This re-
port was ordered by Congress
on account of the continuing
flood damage on the Missouri.
Meetings were held in each
state by General Pick, and the
report was submitted to Con-
gress late in 1913. This report
proved to be most favorable
to flood control, silt control
and navigation. It practically
omitted irrigation, claiming
the right of the water under
the Commerce clause of the
Constitution for Commerce (or
navigation).
We held MEETINGS all over
Montana in opposition to it in
late '43 and early IA. To this
report most of the Upper Mis-
souri, people objected. The Blu
reau of Reclamation in the
spring of 1915 submitted it's re-
port expressing its views on
Reclamation and other features
treated by the Army in its
earlier report.
Out of these two reports and
hearings on them, came the
act of December %, 1914, which
in short held that the water
of the arid area, that west of
the 9th meridian, be first
made available for irrigation,
then power, and lastly naviga-
ton. This was a major victory
for the arid states. It author
lied 100000 each to the Army
engineers and the Bureau Of
Reclamation to begin investiga-
ton. It also authorized several
initial projects, one of which
is the Hardin Unit of the Big
Horn, dubbed for no valid rea-
son, the Yellowtail.
The investigation on this
project and the preliminary
work proceeded rapidly, and in
the falls of 1947 the Bureau
stated it's investigation was be-
tween 90 and 95 per cent COM
pleted, and recommended to
the Bureau of the Budget that

Text of Talk by
H. ". Bunsfon at
Chamber Meeting
ESTABLISHED 1907

Following is the text of the
speech made by H. w. Funston
of Hardin before a general
meeting of the Big Horn Coun-
ty Chamber of Commerce last
Friday night:
Friends, it is a pleasure to
be here tonight to make a re-
port on the progress on the
Hardin Unit of the Missouri
Basin Development, authorized
UNANIMOUSLY by Congress on De-
cember %, 1914.
But before doing this, it
would seem that a brief history
of this development might be
enlightening to the newer resi-
dents. and it is hoped that
YOU oldsters who know it will
pardon the REPETITION.
In 1912, the Big Horn Canyon
Power and Irrigation company
was organized by a local group
of people and proceeded to
have a very accurate and COM
plete survey made of the Big
Horn canyon, including the T-
rigation, power and silt control
features. Core drillings were be-
ing made about the time OF
INV arrival in 1918. The COM
pleted report, with core sam
piles, was filed with the FEEDER
al Power Commission in Wash
ington, and a license was IS
sued by it to the local company.
Real efforts were made In
those days to have it develop
ed, but the silt problem was a

The Wet .
and the
Hungry

Inc Otner DAY ! Sharpened my
pencil and did a little multiplica-
ton and came out with some hor.
rible figures {. that is they were
horribly large. First took the
number of persons who purchased
hunting and fishing permits dur
ing 1919 and multiplied by five
($5). The number of permits sold
according to the state game de-
partment's own figures was 300,-
600, which is a very large in
crease over pre-war days when
that figure was just a little in
excess of 100000. Anyway three
hundred thousand times five to
my way or figuring is a million
and a, half, which also to my way
of thinking is an awful lot of
folding dough. I then tossed in
another half million as income
on Elk permits, special hunting
permits, trapping licenses and
other fees, thus equalling about
million dollars per year.
As you no doubt have guessed,
this figure is just an average
guess of the "take" of the game
department of the state Of WASH
ington. This amounts to pretty
big business ;. I know that I
would at least be mildly interest
ed in any business which crossed
two million a year However,
the gross means very little II the
expenses are too high. I have
recently requested from the game
department at Seattle a few fig
ures which we may subtract from
that two million. The only IL
nancial reports I have ever seen
from any state department, how
ever, have not meant much AT
any rate I do believe that the
public should know at all times
where their funds are going and
how much and for why. II mon
ey collected from the various
sources as mentioned above IS
really coming back to the sports
men who invest It, then I wouldn't
hesitate to pay ten dollars per
year for a hunting and fishing
license, but if not, then something
should be done about something.
The main thing is, I believe, for
the investment of two millions
of dollars per year, the men and
women who invest should be able
to procure an actual accounting
of their investment in terms Of
actual dollars SPENT AND NOT
JUST CONTEMPLATED esti-
mates.
We who are interested in fish
ing and the young who are to
morrow's sportsmen are attempt
ing to find ways and means of
procuring pond or lake, artifici-
al or natural, where the children
of this area Of perhaps high
school age or younger may learn
the fundamentals Of not only
fishing, but of good sportsman
ship, conservation, and the adj
vantages of outdoor Life. This
is a rather difficult program In
