Much Ado About
Nothing
n Charles ID. RoWe


Pity the poor columnist or news
paper reporter. One day he gets
an idea that the public would be
interested in an article depicting
what Libby people are thinking
about the proposed dam on the kOo-
tenai So he writes a story re
counting what he has heard from
Libby people for and against the
dam, a story that aimed merely
to report local sentiment nothing
more, nothing less.
But he must have trOd. innocent
", on some tender toes. Because
the local Labor Council, after in
cubating an idea for two long
months, matches out a verbose effu-
sion that takes this poor column
ist severely to task for merely stat
ing what was being talked up and
down the Libby streets. They infer
that certain things were left I'M
said for dire and dark reasons. Now
there's no desire to deny the Labor
Council its right to express its
honestly-held opinions. But why
present those opinions in such a
long-delayed and controversial man.
looking for an argument? If so, let's
accommodate them.
BY checking back to the article
of eight long weeks ago, find that
the article said a large majority of
local people favor the dam; that
they felt sure it would be built
What's wrong with that? I'm glad
the Labor Council finds no fault
with that sentiment. But they do
object to the manner in which l
stated II.
Well, now. have never made any
claims as a master of English prose
Perhaps the erudite members Of
the Labor Council or their ghost
writer can do better But when
they begin to split hairs and to
read into the text meanings that
are not there, that is something else
again.
They asked who the powerful in
tereSts are who favor the dam. So
that the Labor Council may be pro-

asking for millions upon millions
for everybody and everything I'M
der the sun. So why should there
be any hesitation as TO the cost Of
ANYTHING so worthwhile as the Lib
by dam?
The wise Labor Council objected
to ny statement that the Libby dam
might be a slight factor in flood
control. Said we should rely on
statements of army engineers. Now
/ have no desire to doubt the judg
ments Of our army engineers. But
they do make mistakes. And there
is difference of opinion among
them. Has the Labor Council for
gotten that during the floods of
last spring a retired army engineer,
formerly holding a high position,
stated in the public press that it IS
impossible to control floods on the
Columbia by combination power
flood control reservoirs? Has the
Council forgotten the severe criti-
cism launched against Grand Coulee
and Bonneville officials for having
had those reservoirs full at flood
time? And the officials replied those
huge dams were power projects and
the reservoirs must be kept full to
maintain the power potential Those
dams were exactly worth zero in
flood control, so it was said, during
the late awful disaster. Further
more, this past year was told by
a hydro-electric engineer who was
long employed by the army engin-
GERS corps that it is utterly impos-
sible to combine power and effec-
tive flood control in one project;
that construction for and mainten-
ance of power makes effective flood
control impossible. Some were
saying the real purpose Of the Lib
by dam is for power development
rather than flood control
In view Of these publicly-expres-
sed conflicting statements, is it
strange that the average layman
should wonder whom to believe re-
garding the efficacy of dams for
flood control on the Kootenai? Be
that as it may. again let me say
I was merely reporting what was
being talked by Libby people

" hkAL , I'm HE bAbLEs
A Sunday school teacher asked
little Jane if there was a Bible in
her home. ooh, sure!" was the
quick reply. "And can you tell me
something that's in it?" asked the
teacher. Imagine her amazement
when little Jane began enumer-
ating: "A lock of my baby hair,
picture of Daddy when he was
boy. the family tree, and lot OF
Mothers recipes"
Unfortunately, many an adult
would have to give an answer al
most like James. Except for its
covers, the Bible has become an
unknown book in many an Amer
lean nome.
Christ told the people of His day
and the peole of today to "ransack
the Scriptures. It's the duty and
privilege of every man, woman, and
child to learn what lies between
the covers of his Bible. No doubt,
many people who point with pride
70 their gilt-stamped copy of the
Scriptures would be surprised if
they really knew what God has put
between those covers for them.
The Bible has a double theme,
the theme of mans sin and Gods
grace. If it could cry out, it would

Derlv inform ed. I list the powerful
interests l had in mind. Namely
the army engineers. wanting more
electric power for defense purposes;
he federal bureaus of reclamation
irrigation and flood control; Bon
neville and Grand Coulee admin
strators. needing more water for
their huge power plants; al the vast
industrial enterprises of the North
west that need more power. These
are rather powerful interests, arent
they? And they are fairly repre-
sentative of the people What
was wrong with that statement?
Apparently the critical Labor
Council was displeased because /
failed to say that big power in
terests are opposing government
dams. Now, remember. l was re-
porting what I had heard among
Libby people At no time did /
hear any reference TO big power
opposition. Had 1 heard it, would
have reported it. But if it will
make the Labor Council feel any
better. let's agree TO something that
everybody knows, !. e., that some
private power AAA@GA GSLS a z OPROS
ing federal power developments.
They object to government COM
petition. That's common knowledge.
Again let me say that l am con-
WINGED private power will have to
face that competition. It's newt
able. But because I was reporting
local discussions, l did not deem il
necessary, in a local news article,
to write a treatise on the contro-
versy between private and public
power development
The protesting Labor Council
objected to the statement that cost
of the Libby dam would not be
much of a factor because the ma
tional administration was bent on
a spending program. So what? Who
can deny that? Just consider the
recent Truman budget. Just mere
ly an almost A billions of dollars,
the largest in peace time history
And a request for four billions of
additional taxes. And that isn't all.
He's coming back later for addition
al millions, so he says. An exam

IN spotted areas of Lincoln and

Soil moisture conditions
are getting worse. They are re-
ported generally short to critical
Ill most of the state, except only
a few high mountain areas and
III the extreme northwest corner.
Stock water supplies are drying
up IN the more critical areas,
causing some s~hrinkage of live
stock. Livestock are reported to
be in fair condition. There are
some reports of a good condition,
but they are mainly in the noun
tain areas.
Sugar beets are developing sat

and good yields are in prospect.
The canning pea harvest is COM
pleted in Ravalli county with an
average size pack reported. The
raspberry harvest will be COM
pleted next week and strawber-
RES are making good yields.
The supply of farm labor is
generally adequate, with sur
pluses reported in some counties.
For the present there appears to
be a surplus of transient COM
