life by drowning in a small lake

mates, the group had been play
ing upon the raft for several
hours. A brief time prior to the
tragedy the other playmates had
gotten off of it, young Cooper re-
naming upon it as it drifted
from shore. Whether or not he
became frightened and attempt
ed to leave it by jumping when
it had floated out beyond wading
depth or accidently fell into the
water, none could say, as their
attention wa attracted to the
scene only after they had noticed
his disappearance.
Clothed, like the others, and
unable to swim, young Cooper
sank to the bottom of the lake
without a struggle.
County Coroner B e k, who
made an investigation that even
ing at II, said that the body was
recovered in IL feet of water. The
recovery was at the site of where
the drowning occurred.

Archie St. Goddard place, some
distance away, with St. Goddard

Services Held At
Roman Wed. For
Phillip R. McVey

Funeral services for Phillip R.
McVey, %, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
C. L. McVey of Piegan, who was
burned to death in a forest fire
tragedy in the G ties of the
Mountain area near Helena last
Friday night, were held at t h e
Schrider Funeral Chapel at Ro-
nan Wednesday at 10 a. m. Burial

Employed in Forest Service as a
Smoke jumper, McVey a n d
the others had parachuted to the
fire scene two hours before they
were caught in a trap of rock and
flames in the Mann gulch n e a r
the fire.
Forestry official Seth Jackson
Of Washington, D. c., in his in
vestigation said that the Smoke
jumpers" had landed in an ideal
spot about one-quarter mile from
the fire.. Suddenly a wind reversal
sent flames towards them. Most
of the men scrambled up a cliff.
The foreman, Wag Dodge, and
two other fire fighters burned an
area around a rock pile, where
they crouched as to survive.
Flames caught some of the fire
fighters on h cliff and others
farther on.
The fire burned over 5000
acres.
Helicopters during Saturday
and Sunday brought out the
charred bodies of the victims who
persisted. Others rescued died in
a Helena hospital,
McVey was graduated from
Browning high school in 1915, be-
ing an absentee graduate serving
in the navy at the time.

Reserve Land
To Quality For
Reclamation

Between $4,000 and 10000
acres of Reservation land, now
wholly dependent p o n rainfall
tor crops, are to be reported
favorably to the U. S. Bureau of
Reclamation, as qualifying for
inclusion in the lcng-range six
state Missouri River Plan of de-
velopment. according to ark
Stout, engineer in charge of the
present so-called Missouri Basin
Investigation.
Total irrigable land of the
Blackfeet Reservation approx
mates LOG, 800 acres S, of which
80, 900 acres already are under
constructed works, according to a
recently released report from the
Investigation office.
Beginning his work on the Res
ervation in the early summer of
last year a n d continuing until
adverse weather set in, he re-
sumed it several W eks ago,
planning to complete it during the
next several months.
AS with other projects of the
Bureau of Reclamation, some of
which are the major ones that
have been completed over the
years. the one on the Blackfeet
Reservation will be sustained
through a sytem of reservoirs ap-
propriating thu annual spring
run-off that empties in to the
Missouri K ivera as a tragic eco
nomic waste.
Designated as the Upper Mar
las Basin, the Reservation acre
age will secure water at four
points of storage-one on Big
Badger, one on Two Medicine,
one north of Blackfoot and one
known as the Guardipee reser-
voir. Some of them may be
eliminated if investigation should
reveal a water storage scheme
requiring less construction.
Stout said that the investiga-
ton indicated that nearly 10000
acre feet of water would be made
available for irrigation purposes
from these four storage projects.
Further investigation, he be-
lieved, might bring into the pic
ture considerably more available
water at other points.
Stout explained that as with the
Seville project, an engineering
achievement of the Bureau of Re-
clamation, h Upper Marias
would be turned over to the
Bureau of Indian Affairs for ad-
ministration, since t h acreage
involved is practically all property
of the Blackfeet Indian Tribe.
Just when h Upper Marias
Basin project would be begun is
a matter that will be taken care
of by the Bureau of Reclamation,
Stout said. He cited that some of
the largest projects in t h e west
had been investigated years in ad-
vance of their construction.
With the Bureau of Reclama-
ton now concerned with uni
fled development program involv-
ing Montana. North a n d South
D a k t a, Wyoming. Colorado,
Nebraska, Kansas and Missouri,
the overall picture reveals one
sixth of t h e national acreage
within the folds of the Missouri
River Plan.

Francois, proudly. They protect

for Gen. De Gaulle and are ready
for all internal troubles"

lips and searching eyes the clean

Francois: what manner Of politi-

Francois shrugged his football

of strong brass.

The police do not protect us. We

"And-look-just like that we

over France. Believe me, Sparks,

But Gen. De Gaulle, he won't
