whereas Israeli traffic enforce
ment was very lax under British

to return to Israel next spring af-

HUNGRY HORSE dam IS TWO-THIRDS
COMPLETED

Crews on the Hungry Horse dam
project are ~on the last lap of con-
struction of the worlds largest and
third highest concrete dam being built
on the nearby South Fork of the
F'lathead river. They have placed
the 2,O00,000th cubic yard of con-
crete IN the structure to contain g.
100000 cubic yards when completed
enough to build 20 foot highway
from Seattle to San Francisco and
back again. There was no fanfare
not even momentary pause in the
high speed construction tempo to
mark the milestone in the develop
ment of the vast bureau of reclama-
ton project. Placement of the g.
O00,0OOth cubic yard of concrete
came nine days less than two years
after the first bucket of concrete
was placed in the structure.
The dam will be 564 feet high
when completed and crews are also
working on the 285, 1000 kilowatt
powerhouse which is being built be-
low the dam. Installation of the
four 100000 horsepower turbines is
progressing and installation of the
first of four ,250-kilowatt gen
orators is scheduled to go on the line
in October and December of 1862,
and Hungry Horses full capacity of
285, 200 kilowatts will be available
by November, 1853.
Storage of water in the 34-mile
long Hungry Horse reservoir will be
started within the next few weeks

multiple-purpose dam will start its
service as flood control project
next spring when 100000 acre
feet of the spring run-off of the south
fork of the Flathead river will be
captured and stored behind the dam.
Released during the fall and winter
next year, this water will spin the
first two Hungry Horse generators
and then will be used and reused
to increase the prime power capacity
of down stream hydroelectric plants

More Chance For Winter
Work At Hungry Horse

Prospects for winter employment
at Hungry Horse dam are better this
year, reclamation bureau officials
have reported.
Winter jobs will include stripping,
cleanup of dam gallerys, drilling and
grouting, and powerhouse construc-
ton.
Full scale concrete pouring will
continue this fall as long as weather
conditions permit and the work of
eight contractors in the reservoir
area is to continue until the snow
falls, officials said.

| BONNER: GENERAL IMPACT OF
REA ON STATES ECONOMY

Key speaker at the Thursday SEES
sion (of Montana and Northwest pub
lie power groups) was Gov. John
Bonner. Reviewing the great strides
made toward bringing electricity to
every Montana farm home, the Gov
ernor pointed out that:
"You have constructed over 21,-
900 miles of line and serve over 3d.
600 consumers. You have done this
by hard work and sacrifice with the
help of an understanding govern
ment You have planned wisely and
we'll in undertaking this tremendous
development and your co-operatives
are financially sound, successful en-
terprises. Your goal is electricity for
every farm home in Montana ;. ;"
Zone point generally overlooked
in appraising the value of this great
rural identification program is its
impact on our economy. REA loans
in Montana approach $37 million
but estimates show that each con-
sumner invests about four dollars
ahc Ilrty cents TOR wiring anu aP-
planes for each dollar invested in
facilities. Therefore, it is esti-
mated that expenditures upwards
of $500 million. have been made as
a result of this program in Mon
tana the past Is years. There
funds having been spent in nearly
every section of our state have ma
terially affected our businesses
through increased sales, transpor-
tation companies have benefited
and a vast amount of income has
been provided for our working peo-
pie. This program has been a source
of stimulation to all sections of

OIL CAUSING TURMOIL In NE MONTANA

I tnaC by entering INTO one OF Mf.
| Simmons most recent propositions
they might be working against the
| best interests of their county. If
farmers give the oil man some color
of title to the oil royalties retained
by the county might have an advant-
age in court in not being required to
attack directly the tax title proceed
ings. In this way he might throw the
burden of proving the validity of the
county. On the other hand in order to
deeds in his possession, the oil man
must enter court and attack the tax
title behind which the county stands
with considerable legal weight if
proper action was taken before the
land was sold to the farmer.
Another serious possibility looms
for the farmers. Those farmers who
sign away the county's rights to the
oil royalty when they get the war
ranty deed from Mr.. Simmons might
lose that u or per cent out of
their own equity if the court should
uphold the county title.
Meanwhile seven or eight farmers
have settled on Simmons first propo-
sition,. namely, payment of $50 cash
and relinquishing right to whether
the farmers will still have clear
title to the land.
FARMERS HAVE WAY OUT
The farmers do have a way out
of the predicament. They can have
the titles quoted through court ac-
ton, the safest and probably the
cheapest procedure in the long run.
Who ever successfully challenges the
titles in that case would have to
pay all the taxes in arrears on each
piece of land as we'll as those already
paid plus interest. This in itself would
make the wholesale operation now
being attempted impossible even for
a well-heeled oil broker. The total
tax bill against all the land involved
would be a staggering sum.
Some farmers have started ac-
tion to have titles to their tax deed
land quoted. 1t will take long
time to carry all of the cases
through the court, but this is the
surest move for the farmers be-
cause the court decisions will be
final.
By sticking together against hasty
private settlements it is now very
clear, the farmers of Sheridan Coun-
ty can retain possession of their
land. The tax deed fight in that coun
ty should be a warning to the hold
ers of tax deeds in other counties of
the state.
The property rights struggle in
Sheridan County has political angles.
The farmers have most and possibly
all the county officials in sympathy
with them. They talk warmly in ap-
probation of the efforts of Carl Pet
erson, clerk and recorder, for ex-
ample, who has been giving them
straight information on the prob
lem. But woe unto political aspir-
ants of any party working the other.

mons also had some contact men in
the rural areas.
With unanimous action that night
the farmers formed the Sheridan
County Tax Deed Holders Associa-
ton of Plentywood, Montana, and
named five directors of the new or
ganization. They agreed to resist
the oil promoters proposition and
through their new association estab-
lish their rights to the land. They also
raised defense fund of more than
$4,000 in matter of minutes.
The united action of the farmers
last fall sharply slowed up MIR. Sim
mons and his crew. The Farmers
Union is credited with being a big
factor in putting the brakes
the dealing in titles.
But the oil promoter has not Civ
en- up. Now a little different ap-
proach is being taken. Mr.. Simmons
is offering the farmers a choice of
two proposals: one, if the farmer
pays Simmons $3.50 the latter will
deed all of his right, title and in
terest to the man on the land, re-
serving of course one-half of the
mineral rights which would be 6 a
per cent; or two, for $3.50 Simmons
will deed all of his interest in the
land to the farmer except a per cent
of the oil royalties. In both propos-
l. - oil
to be given Mr.. Simmons would come
out Of the rights retained by the coun-
ty when the farmer bought the tax
title. AS things stand, the farmer IN
possession of the tax deed to the
land has 6 "A per cent. In other words
Mr.. Simmons is giving the farmers
the impression that he is only seek
ing the oil rights retained by the
county.
MUCH AT STAKE
1t is not difficult to see the
significance of this move in the
light of the greatly increased oil
explorations going on in the coun-
try and particularly for Sheridan
County. Only a few miles south IN
Dawson County and in nearby North
Dakota rich oil discoveries have re-
Gently been made. Perhaps more
than a quarter of million acres
of land is involved in the tax deed
scheme in Sheridan County, and o "a
per cent of the oil royalties on much
of that land could be worth ire
mendous sum if oil is found in the
area. Furthermore, legal fees for
settling the titles on several hum
dred parcels of land would accumu-
late into no small amount of money.
The county has much at stake IN
the tax deed action because the oil
rights retained by that unit of local
government might pay off big IN
the event of an oil strike on some OF
that land. Think of the roads that
could be built along with other pub
lie improvements and services made
possible by oil money flowing into the
county treasury!

Sheridan County farmers realize

posed Glacier View dam in Glacier
Park to reality, and, should the peo
pie desire it, to put his best efforts
forward for construction of Paradise
dam across the Clarks Fork in Sand

toward construction of Yellowtail and
advised that 100000 has been ap-
propriated by congress for pre-con-

MORE, NOT LESS POWER FOR
MONTANA
Because of the tying of Hungry
Horse into the Bonneville power grid
system, Montana will receive several
times more firm power than would
have been the case without the grid,
Jay Mangan, Bonneville regional of
ficer at Kalispell, told the conven-
ton.
Hungry Horse has a capacity of
10000 XIV firm power. The control
of run-off brought about by Hungry
Horse, however, will result in up
wards of 10000 XIV additional firm
power production at various down
stream plants such as Grand Coulee.
Of this Montana will receive at least
100000 additional kilowatts. Already,
Mr.. Mangan noted, contracts for sale
of such firm power in Montana are
substantially above the 10000 XIV
firm power capacity of Hungry
Horse.
Emphasizing the Importance of in
creased power output, and the tying
in to the Bonneville Grid, Mangan
stated that in the II months since
the tie-in was made, lowered elect
ricity costs, to Missoula County Elec-
trio Cooperative alone has served

trio Coop has saved $4,000, or
S140O per month, and, because the
'ural electrification job in that area
S pretty much completed, lower

'umers and an especially low rate for

Rotary Learns About Atom Blast Effects

One atom bomb of the type re- leased over Hiroshima has the blast effect of 10000 tons of TINT, Professor D. Hendershot told fel- low Rotarians at the Clubs con- tinuing series on the atomic age, at Thursdays luncheon. Twenty per cent of the energy is released in the first second, creating heat and shock waves that, within a quarter mile of the blast center, are totally destructive. Beyond that, to a distance of about half a mile, only reinforced concrete buildings are able to stand up under the blast.
 Strangely enough, the human body is able to stand more than the shock of the blast, even di- rectly underneath, but at that point, the temperature runs from a million degree centigrade, near the blasts center, to 1000 degrees centigrade, or almost 10000 de- grees Fahrenheit at it's largest outside expansion.

Mistrial Ordered In Negro Assault Case

YANCEYVILLE, NC, (P) - A mistrial was ordered today in the case of a Negro Sharecropper ac- cused of assaulting a l7-year-old white girl by allegedly leering at her and chasing her.
 The mistrial was ordered by Judge J. A. Rousseau after the jury, composed of four negroes and eight whites, deliberated for about five hours yesterday and today and reported it was "hope- lessly deadlocked."
 Foreman C. J. Long told the court that the jury had voted 10 for conviction and two for ac- quitaal. He said two negro jurors had held out for acquittal.
 The girl testified that Ingram frightened her after leering at her and following her across the corn field, although he did not ap- proach closer than 68 feet to her in her flight across the field.
