The stakes are certainly high.
AS Justice Bottomly pointed out in
his Havre speech, the Waterton and
Belly rivers flow about $4,000 acre
feet of water out of the United
States, and into Canada, which could
be used to irrigate the 100000 acres
in the Upper Marias project.
If the United States and Canada
were to join forces in building the
higher dam near Lethbridge, they
could operate it jointly much as they
now do the Alaskan highway, to the
benefit of both.
But if time is lost, and little inter
est is shown, the United States -
which means Montana in this case
may well lose this water forever.
And with it will be lost 100000 acres
of irrigation in the Cut Bank-Havre-
Shelby area, and our chances for
new progress and prosperity for an
section of the Treasure
state.

Border guards can't stop Montana

may remain forever dry unless
Uncle Sam digs up some good Yankee

ence between a headgate and a lat

Irrigation of vast region known
as the Clipper Marias Project which
lies between the Great Northern rail
road and the Canadian line, between
Cut Bank, Shelby and Havre, is at
stake.
Waters rising in Montana's Glacier
National Park and flowing north
into Canada in the Belly and Water
ton rivers, to form the Oldham river
near Lethbridge, are the Treasure
states present gift to Canadian farm
ers. They are the trading material
that can be used in securing water
from Canada for the proposed Upper
Marias Project 100 miles east of
Glacier Park.
Oddly enough, all the Americans
who are alert to this situation wish
tic. do is to get some of their own
water back, to make crops grow
on their present dry acres
The Canadians have shown a will
ingness to cooperate and play fair
with the Americans where these wat
er problems are considered, and ne
gotiations are being carried on now.
But, unfortunately, far too few Mon
tanans and representatives of the
United States government have paid
much attention to this important prof.
ect, which can mean so much to the
future prosperity of the highline
country in upper Hill, Liberty and
Toole counties.
The ramifications are many.
Take a good look at the accom-
panying chart, prepared by the Daily
News.
The shaded area, in general, is the

now dry acres which can be irrigated

the question of who will market
the products of farmers and who
will furnish them with supplies and
services. They are not concerned
with preservation of the family

Ity. They want to make it more diff
ficult for farmers to market their
own products and buy their own
supplies. They and their supporters
want to go back thirty years and
establish for themselves through
the imposition of unfair taxes a
more lucrative field for middle
men.

er in the United States has been in
troduced in Congress.
But many men on this side of the
border think there is a better ans
wer, and one that is fairer to botf
Canadians and Americans. They
refer to the dam which is now being
built by the Canadians near Leth-
bridge, below the confluence of the
two streams.
The present dam will provide water
for the Canadians only, and Ameri-
cans are concerned that if they 'ag.
they won't get their fair share of the
water.
By throwing in together, the
Americans and Canadians can build
higher dam, and then construct the
proposed "Big Swale" canal from
near Lethbridge to the Montana line,
as illustrated on the chart. Ameri-
cans and Canadians would both
probably have ample irrigation wat
ers under this proposal.
But it may take quick and contin.
ued action on this side of the line to
keep things going, and save this share
of Montana water for Montanans and
the Upper Marias Project, which
would mean so much to the Cut Bank,
Shelby, Havre and Chester areas,
Montana and the nation.
This claim must be pressed, as

We've had a good many in
quiries lately as to the legal use
of outboard motors in connection
with duck shooting. The follow
ing excerpt from a press release
of Maryland's Game and Inland

swer we've yet seen. 1T is un-
lawful to shoot or shoot at any

terfowl from boat of any de-
scription under Maryland law and
from a motorboat under Federal
law. Crippled ducks may be run
down with motorboat and re-
trieved with or without the help
of a crab net, but such cripples
cannot be shot at from any motor
boat. A boat equipped with an
outboard motor is a motorboat
within the meaning of the law as
long as the motor is attached to
the boat, regardless Of whether
the motor is running or dead.
If the motor is entirely de-
tached and laid in the bottom of
the boat, or elsewhere. the boat
then is no longer classed as

Therefore you cannot shoot a
gun from any power boat under
either Federal or State laws. not
even at a cripple. But you can
shoot cripples if the outboard has
been entirely detached from the

will clear up any doubts in the
