health, power and irrigation uses.
This prediction as far as | can learn
from the report is not based in any
manner upon an authentic tree-ring
study. | have just made such study,
and find that there have been pro-
longed drouths in the areas involved
dating from 1406 to 1916. Where
there is such an apparent conflict in
predictions as to the supply of water,
1 think that in making a prediction
we should assume years of drouth
rather than years of wet weather in
order to be conservative and safe
in determining the water supply.
(2) One of the basic ingredients
in any plan for the development of
the Missouri River is that of con-
servation. Improved conservation
programs have and will decrease
stream flow, fact which your Com
mittee seems to have overlooked in
making it's prediction as to water
supply.
90 Increased irrigation in the up
per states will, of course, decrease
the stream flow and in determining
the water supply, | think your Com
mittee should have taken into consid-
Grafton the maximum lands irrigable
in the upper states with the resultant
decrease in stream flow. The report
appears to use minimum in every
phase of determining the water sup
nlV SI1ch as drOuthS and T haliava
that the Committee should have used
maximums instead in order to be
sure of determining water supply.
Well, as say, in spite of the dis
agreements l have with your report,
believe it is a step in the right
direction. Yet, it is not enough in
studying the water supply for the
proposed development of the Mis-
souri, Basin if we are to utilize every
drop of water as we should for the
benefit of the people.
In closing, may I say that I am
more convinced than ever after MAX
ing study of the report that the
answer to the question of adequacy
of water supply for the Missouri
Basin is the abandonment of the nine
foot channel idea, or in lieu thereof,
substitution of some type of chan
mel that can be efficiently maintained
and operated to be sure that the water
available in the Missouri River may
be saved for vital uses of the people
in the Missouri River Valley States.

"A Shame for
Years to Come"

Gov. John w. Bonner
State Capitol
Helena, Montana
Dear Governor:
In the name of all that is human, of
justice and mercy / ask you to take
measures to commute the sentence of
the boy, Frank Dryman, before it is too
late. This boy, although not legally
insane. is suffering from a gross and
maleYolent mental disorder. Some
where back in his early childhood he
was deeply hurt and the scars have
remained to create an uncomfortable
impulse to strike back.
l plead with you in the name of our
many misguided youth to save this
boy from the hangman's moose and to
commit him to the care of a competent
psychiatrist where his warped person
ality may receive treatment.
We shall never become civilized in
the true sense of the word until we
learn to value life, even one life may
be precious in the sight of God.
If this boy IN hung it will he to the
shame of Montana Citizens for years
To come.

uses | have just mentioned before
navigation, yet in setting up a river
plan, engineers must take into con-
sideration the amount of water need
ed for the navigation channel which
in my opinion will jeopardize the
more important and necessary uses
which | have mentioned.
[ believe that the recent report
on the adequacy of flows in the Mis-
souri, River, even thought disagree
with some of it's conclusions, is a
valuable contribution to the Missouri
Valley future. 1t shows real study
and it reflects considerable changes
in the basic Pick-Sloan Plan.
While the report frankly admits
that if severe drouth occurs that
there will not be sufficient water
for the channel to operate success
fully throughout the year, I believe
that the assumptions made in the
report as to the availability of water
for the channel both as to drouth
and ordinary wet years are erroneous
enough to raise the gravest doubt as
to whether or not the proposed nine
foot channel can be operated success
fully to any degree if we preserve
and safeguard the water first for
domestic, health, power and irriga-
ton uses. We must be sure to do
this in order for the people to have
the advantage of this great water re-
source and to prosper because of it.
Some of the reasons for my anxiety
and doubt as to your conclusions
pertaining to the supply of water
needed for the nine-foot channel are !:
% 1 doubt the accuracy of the
prediction contained in the report
that there will be no drouth as great
as 1888 for $500 years. This predic-
ton, made to assume that there will
be sufficient water for the nine-foot
channel, seems to me to be too haz-
ardous a prediction when we are
figuring the supply of such a precious
resource as water for domestic,

Dear Mr.. Steele
[ have carefully reviewed the engi-
neering report on the Adequacy of
Flows of the Missouri River recently
prepared by the Subcommittee on
Adequacy of Flows in the Missouri
River of the Missouri Basin Inter-
Agency Committee.
AS you know, have always doubt
ed that there was sufficient water,
after providing for domestic, health,
power and irrigation uses, to main
tain the contemplated nine-foot chan
mel down the river. AS you recall,
prior to World War II, an engineer
ing investigation committee doubted
whether there was sufficient water
for a six-foot navigation project if
the uses | have just mentioned were
provided for first.
After studying the recent report on
the adequacy of flows in the Mis-
souri, River, | am more doubtful than
ever that if we plan for sufficient
water to maintain the nine-foot chan
mel. This is of extreme Importance

Alaskans May Benefit By Rail- Truck Land Route

SEATTLE, (P)-A British Co., lumbia railway official said Sat urday that interior Alaska points soon may be able to receive ship ments more cheaply over new rail-truck land route than by sea.
 John A. Kennedy, general man. ager of the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, announced he is confer ring with American rail line rep resentatives here on rate sched- ules which will apply on the new connection with the Territory.
 Kennedy said he thinks the rates will be lower than those now charged by steamship lines on freight to interiar Alaska cities.
 The new route will be by rali to Prince George, B. C., then over the John Hart Highway to Daw- son Creek, B. C., where it joins the Alaska HlgnWay.
 Kennedy said the Pacific Great Eastern's 82-mile extension from its present terminus at. QueSnel, B. C., will be completed in 1852. The John Hart Highway is to be opened in September. The rail- way has exclusive truck hauling rights over the John Hart road, being built by British Columbia.
 The new route vii cut approx imately 1000 miles off the Pacific Northwest's present land connec- ton with Alaska by way of the Alaska Highway.
