er of 1850, amounting to $48.6 bill
lion. Dividend payments were esti-
mated at $1.3 billion or 5000 million

1873 per cent, while companies with
assets from SIS million, $500 mil
lion, and over 500 million earned
respectively, 1914, 172 and 17.6 per
cent.

Power Co. high-power line.
The pole to which the loose wire
was attached is at least 10 feet
higher than the crossarm of the Mon

we'll as the lethal wires. Thus move

the top of the pole plant pole OF

Montana Power Co. had apparently
neglected to see that it had clear

MONTANA POWER FACING 100000 SUIT OVER
Death OF RAvALLI COUNTY Y0UMGSTER

The case of Alfred H. Rice, as
Administrator of the Estate of Cliff
ford Leroy Rice, deceased, VS.. the
Montana Power Co., New Jersey
corporation, and the Northern Pacific
Railway Co., a Wisconsin corpora
ton, has been set for trial jr fed
eral court in Missoula on March IL,
1861.
The case is a consequence of the
death of Clifford Leroy Rice after
the 13-year-old boy had been badly
burned on leg, foot, hand, arm and
scalp Saturday, Oct. Is, 1949, while
helping his father, Alfred H. Rice,
pick up wood at the site of the old
Grantsdale pole plant on the North
ern Pacific right-of-way, at the
Grantsdale station location.
The burns resulted from electricity
which passed through the lads body
when he grasped wire which was
hanging from an old pole which had
been used by the pole plant and
moving the wire caused it to come
in contact with the Montana Power
Co. power line which was carrying
$4,000 volts at the time. The top of
the old unused pole plant pole was.
higher than the Montana Power Co.

About Value of Vote Records

Dear Harry:


Dear Harry:
Just a Few lines to tell you I think
you are doing a superior job covering
the legislature this year and are put
ting out plenty of excellent news about
our public servants. 1t looks like there
will be about the best material for
the voting record we have ever had and
hope you will do your usual good job
IN compiling and making it avail
able. When the best potential use Of
II will be made by decent candidates
for public office we will rid ourselves
Of lot of Legislative riff-raff.
As usual / must again say there
ought to be a way by which the cir
culation of the Voice could be in
creased. You should have twenty or
thirty thousand circulation to do the
JOB Of informing the people suf-
ficiently well to have good results at
the ballot box as well as in MANY of
our communities which are hogtied
by the same type of people and influ-
ences.
Very truly yours,
