RippAlng
of the Rivers

The Hardin high school band
and girls triple trio did very
well at the state music meet at
Great Falls last week end. !
We're proud of these students
for the work they have done in
music this year. We're also glad
to live in a community which
shows as much interest in youth
activities as citizens of Hardin
and community. Sending the
high school group to the meet
was a huge problem for school
officials, we imagine. The con-
tributions of local clubs and IN
dividuals were a great help in
making the trip possible.
An item from the American
Press shows what might hap
pen to a fellow if he happens
to have the habit of borrowing
his neighborS local newspaper
instead of subcribinO himself.
"a man, too stingv to sub
scribe to his hometown paper,
sent his little boy to borrow
a copy from his neighbor. In
haste, the boy ran over a stand
of bees, and, in 10 minutes, he
looked like a Warty summer
squash. His father ran to his
assistance and, failin to notice
the barbed wire fence, ran into
that, running a 81 pair of pants.
'The old cow took advantage
of the gap in the fence, got in
the corn field and killed herself
eatino green corn. Hearing the
commotion, his wife ran out,
upset a four-gallon churn OF
cream into a basket of little
chickens, drowning the entire
batch. In her haste, she drop
ped a S35 set of false teeth.
"The baby, being left alone,
craWled through the cream into
the parlor, running a brand new
$50 carpet. During the excit-
ment. the oldest daughter elop-
ed with the hired man. the dog
broke up IL setting hens and
the calves got out and cheWed
the tails off four fine white
shirts on the clothes line.
Moral: Don't borrow your
neighbor's paper; It's COO
risky"

Chamber Of Commerce Reclamation
Group Urges Support Of Amendment
10 Place Hardin Project in Phase a
Senute Committee Herring
Expected to Begin
Within Next Ten Days

The Reclamation committee
of the Big Horn County Cham
Der of Commerce wishes to take
this opportunity to clarity
some misconceptions that have
been circulated lately in regard
to YelloWtail dam.
AT this session of Congress,
Congressman D'EWart requested
YelloWtail dam be put in phase
A, which means into conStruc-
ton. The Budget Bureau re-
commended that half a million
dollars be appropriated for
phase B work. The lower house
of Congress approved the half
million, but did not approve it
being raised to phase a.
No people from the Yellow
stone basin testified at the
hearing, other than our repre-
s%entatives in Washington.
Hearings are expected to be-
gin before the Senate Appro-
priations committee within the
next 10 days. Senator Murray
has submitted an amendment
putting the YelloWtail in phase
A and requesting additional
money for construction. Gov
ernor Bonner urged a hearing
on the amendment and ex-
pressed the hope of attending
and testifying in behalf of the
amendment. Senator Murray
has urged people from the area
to appear before the Senate
committee in support of the
amendment.
The interest of a commun-
ity expressed by a stable COM
mittee appearing on behalf of
the program often spells the
difference between success and
failure. Billings is being urged
to send representatives.
Last year a group of per
sons from northeastern Mon
tana and North Dakota filled a
room at a hearing on behalf of
Missouri-Souris deVel o e mt.
They did the same this year.
This program had not been
scheduled for construction for
some years hence. On account Of
their interest, the Congress gave
it the green light.
Two car loads of our people
met with the Holly Directors.
In less than two years later we
ground our beets at Hardin fac
tory after more than 20 years
of continuous effort.
How, may we ask, could all
the people Of the Yellowstone
basin (Indian and white people
alike) better employ their time
and money than by getting this
project on the We to realiZa-
ton. We have asked the Cham
Der of Commerce for funds to
send an auto load of people to
the hearing.
Since 1921, no increase has

District Tax Upheld
On Lease Settlement

cancellation of lease it had on
property at Twelfth and G streets

Court of Appeals held today.
The taxes on the sum amounted
to 1851, which was paid by the
corporation, under protest, and an
appeal was taken from the ruling
by the District Board Of Tax Ap-
peals in an effort to have the tax
refunded to the corporation. To-
days opinion affirmed the boards
ruling.
The lease which the corpora
ton agreed to cancel for the $780,

contended the $4,000 received by
it was in the form of gain from
a sale or exchange of a capital
asset and not subject to District
income tax. The court held that
cancellation of the lease did not
constitute a sale or exchange.
The lease cancellation involved
