Engineer Comments on
Marias Controversy

Editor, Peoples Voice:
1 note with interest your editorial
in the issue of Oct 10, setting me right
on the legal point of proration of
construction costs of the Marias Prof.
ect. Thank you for clearing that up
so conclusively.
AS I stated in your issue of Oct. 5th,
L am only an engineer and not an at
torney, and do not claim to be an au-
thority on legal points. However, the
law as we understand it, has to be
considered in the procedure of an
undertaking of this magnitude. Even
the best of attorneys may differ in
their interpreted ton of the law. which
frequently can only be settled in the
courts.
The legal points that might be raised
in this case are infinite and 1 am not
prepared to argue them, although I
may state some of them as I see them
The main point I am trying to make
and the one 1 am prepared to debate
is this: The estimated cost of the Ma
rias Irrigation Project is so excessive
ly and Enthusiastically high, that it is
hard to believe that anyone in their
right senses could conscientiously re-
commend it. $725 per acre to $1,000 per
acre is many times more than the land
will ever be worth, is financially impos
sible of reimbursement, and the Gov
(meaning the taXpayers) will
lose a lot of money. Again, an expendi-
ture of S123,OOO per land owner for the
irrigation of his land is unjustifiable,
in view of the fact that most |
of them are already wealthy beyond |
their widest dreams of Is years ago.
Also in view of the fact that the non
irrigated farmers under the proposed |
project average being far Weather
and prosperous than an equal number
Of farmers under any irriga ton prof
ect in the Northwest. So why irrigate?

Now from another source we learn
that Uncle Sam has requested Rus

shed seemed to be so successful this
year that they increased stream flow
in the river within about week from
the time they started, thus removing
a threatened power shortage of serious
proportions.
They were so successful in fact
that in short time farmers over
the watershed rose up and demanded
that they cease and desist because they
already had more rain than they need
ed. They did and the rain stopped.
Maybe they could do as well on the
Marias. Why not wait and see

for extending their defense CD pact

S a funny thing. We are so "derned

Well all this talk about aggression

Your clever RumorTics observer
has credited me with being the in
spiration of the lively controversy
between Vic Overcast of Cut Bank
and former governor Sam Ford, in re-
lation to the question of screening
candidates for governor, through the
appointment of a committee by the
Republican state central committee
The reality is that l was wholly
unaware of the moves that led up
to this wordy conflict. I was out of
the room at the time and returned
about two minutes before the vote
was taken. Vic Overcast will verify
this statement.
have been and still am in favor of
a modification of the primary law
that would provide for the nomination
of members of congress and the state
candidates and for the retention of
the primary system for the selection
of county candidates. The reason is
simple: The voters are acquainted with
county candidates, few of them know
the backgrounds or party affiliation
or loyalty of the state candida ties. 1
believe in two strong major political
parties.
Overcast told me after the meeting
that the screening method was adopted
in Illinois with seeming success. | was
not aware of this. He said the whole
action would be voluntary and would
in no way impinge on the primary law;
those not selected by the committee
need not abide by the decision This
plan may or may not provide a Solu- |
tion for the present concern over load |
ing the primary ballot with aspirants |
for governor.
Your Rumor Ticker inferred a rather |
unfriendly feeling toward me on the |
part of the former governor This |
gives me no pain. If your reporter
had been in the Rainbow lobby after
this discussion he or she would have
heard not a few caustic comments
about the eleventh-hou solicitude ON
the part of Samuel, for the party whose
label he wears and his complete lack
of concern for its welfare when he
had an opportunity to make it an eff
fective instrumentality, when he was
governor.
This letter is preaching a rule of
mine, not to take notice of comments
of the kind referred to. 1 have my own

TeIberg Prints
Use Photography
For Expression

A Photographic exhibit employ
ing multi-exposure techniques to
create imaginative pictures Of an
almost unreal quality is at the
Smithsonian Institution during
this month.
Creators Of these dream like
pictures are Kathleen and Vladi-
mir Telberg of New York City. Ac-
cording to the husband and wife
Photographic team, their purpose
is self-expressioon through the
medium of photography. Their
method is ito use images of OBJ
Jects as one uses words in a SEN
tence. Just as each word con-
tributes to the total meaning of
a sentence. so we use each object
from the viewpoint of its contribu-
ton to the whole. A tunnel, face
and the phrase, Long Night" :"
taken separately would have little
significance. Blended together,
however, they express a nuance of
feeling which words could not de-
scribe"
The multiple exposures are
made either in the camera when
taking the picture, or in the en-
larger when the print is made. In
the latter case several negatives,
suitably arranged, are projected
on single sheet of paper.
The Telberg collection is being
displayed in the northwest gallery
OF the Arts and Industries Build
ing, Ninth street and jefferson
drive S.W., and is open to the
public Sundays and weekdays
from 9 am. to 4:30 pm.

The Observation-Disclosures

As another preshooting sug-
gestion 1t is advised that you do
not attempt to fill the frame too
closely. Instead leave plenty Of
margin 20 that you will still be
able to get q picture II the subject
moves away from It's original posi-
ton. You can always enlarge from
q portion Of the negative whereas
you can't do anything If part of
the animal is cut of.
Tricks to Attract Attention.
You should have no trouble at
all getting comical or otherwise
interesting poses from your pet.
The secret of this is to let the
animal play rather than try to
force it into a unnatural pose. A
bit of string. a ball of yarn, a
pinch of catnip. or a toy mouse
will work wonders with q cat.
Dogs. puppies in particular. can
easily be persuaded to tear into
an old slipper or a child's toy.
If your pet is not in a playful
mood you can still succeed by
catching its attention with a bit
of favorite food. And you can make
them perk up their ears or assume
comic expressions simply by try
ing out a few unusual sounds. And
some of the best animal shots
on record have been made with two
or more kittens or puppies or q
mixture of the two.
Unless you are something of
an expert with your camera you
will "fub" a lot of shots because
Of unexpected movements. This
is particularly true when it comes
to photographing cats. But this

will be no time to try to save film
and you should be prepared to
shoot fast and often. You may
wind up with a lot of misses but
you will almost surely have one
or more worth the effort and ex-
pense of film.
Taking pictures Of bird pets is
fairly easy task. If the bird Is
tame and will not try to escape,
pose 1t on perch in the room
before a plain light colored back
ground and shoot away to your
hearts content. If the bird is not
tame enough to be loose in the
room, build yourself a cage with
a glass front and shoot through
the glass. If you do this, it is
imperative that the glass be spot
less. Otherwise reflections will ruin
the picture. Care must also be
taken, for the same reason, to
place the lights correctly.
Fish may also be photographed
through the glass of an aquarium
provided that the side you are
shooting through Is perfectly
clean. If you have trouble getting
the fish up to the front of the
aquarium or if you tire of waiting
for them to swim into position
you can slip a section of glass
behind them and bring it for
ward until they are forced to stay
within range of your lens.
Color film, although more ex-
pensive than the monochrome
stock, is particularly effective
when taking pictures of birds and
fish. This also applies to other
pets when their coloring is of
sufficient attraction to warrant
the Use of color Aim

striking feature of the recent civic clinic
held by the Senate District Committee was to hear
one speaker after another declare their support Of
such national representation. This was true In
presenting views on various subjects. whether dis
cussing the proposal to grant suffrage on the local
level or some other questions. In the special
hearing by this committee on the Kefauver bill
g. $3.50. similar expressions were noted though in
the special hearing practically all who spoke de-
clared their support Of national representation.
