TNRIENDs of the feath-
IL cred world will have
no trouble recalling the
FIcTI0N

no trouble recalling the
case of old Mrs Andrus. who left million
dollars to thirty-eight myna birds.
What is not generally known, even among
bird lovers, is that Ellery was in that case up
to his pectorals, taking wing on as pretty
flight of reasoning as his case-book records
With the assistance, be it noted, of the only
bird detective on record.
Mrs ANDRUS was lonely old lady who had
outlived family and friends, and whom an
aging body had condemned to wheel chair
Her only human connections were her doctor,
her lawyer, and her paid companion
But DR.. Cooke was bloated man with
sort of decayed charm, like an overripe
banana; Attorney De Rose, whom the doctor
had recommended to manage Mrs. Andruss
affairs when she became too infrm to manage
them herself, was sporty fellow with per-
petual tan and voice that hurt the old ladys
ears; and her companion, Miss Baggott, also
introduced by DR.. Cooke, was a frozen-faced
female of doubtful gentility whom Mrs.
Andrus tolerated only because the woman
tended the birds devotedly.
They were true talking mynas from south
ern India pert, hoppy little creatures anus
ingly yellow-wattled, with iridescent black
wings and bass voices Some of them had
vocabularies of almost hundred words.
Mrs. Andrus found them great comfort -
far more satisfactory companions than Miss
Baggott. Her dependents, she called them;
and, quite as if they were, the old lady worried
over their fate when she should be gone.
From this it was logical step to securing
their future Mrs Andrus directed Attorney
De Rose Immediately to place the bulk of her
property into fund earmarked for her birds
support, maintenance, and loving care Mr..
lister the fund; Miss Baggott was specified as
permanent curator When the last myna had
passed away, the fund was to be administered
for the benefit of designated charities.
In the interim, Mrs. Andrus asked little for
herself. The attorney paid her bills, she and
the mynas were company for each other, and
she was content.
Her pets one failing, Mrs. Andrus some
times felt. was their inability to play contract
bridge, the only other interest of her declining
years. For this diversion she had to depend
on DR.. Cooke and Mr.. De Rose, with Miss
Baggott making the fourth.
On such evenings as the gentlemen could
spare for her entertainment, the old lady
would be enScOnced in her wheel chair at the
bridge table, playing remarkably shrewd
game for tenth of a cent point Her bridge
nights completed her happiness.

ties and responsibilities Of the In

The plar Is somewhat in con-
hict with the recommendations Of
the Hoover Commission. The Re-
port Of the Hoover Commission
stated that such transportation re-
sponsibilities as are executive in
nature should be transferred to the
Department Of Commerce. For ex-
ample, they would like to see such
duties as inspection Of boilers and
safety devices Of the railroads and
other carriers placed in the De-

TNHE January 5th issue of Whaley-
l. Eaton's Newsletter points up
significant facts regarding the
enormous expansion of the atomic
energy program which should be
of interest to all. The program, they
report, currently consumes 500 of
the stainless steel tubing produced
in the country, TO of the nickel
supply, So of the sulphur, and 30
of all electricity. Furthermore, one
in ten physicists and one in go con-
struction workers are employed by
the Atomic Energy Commission. A
happy note is the promise of bene-
fits to mankind in addition to
weapons of destruction. The Report
states that last year "the U. S.
produced the worlds first electrici-
ty from atomic fission. Britain is
heating its Harwell installation
with the waste heat from uranium
piles, and this year the keel will
be laid for the first atom-fueled
submarine, capable Of cruising in
definitely. Surface ships are feas-
ible and atomic aircraft are in the
design stage"

DUTIES OF DEPARTMENT

DUTIES OF DEPARTMENT
The department of labor is "charg-
ed with the duty of enforcing all
the laws of Montana relating to the
hours of labor, conditions of labor,
protection of employees, and all laws
relating to child labor regulating the
employment of children in any man
ner, it shall also be the duty of such
division to administer all the laws
of the state relative to free employ
ment offices" When one realizes
that there are such laws as the eight
hour law, recognition of legal holi-
days, state printing law, many pro-
visions of the child labor law, state
board of arbitration and Cancellation,
bus driver laws, laws governing fe-
male employees, laws for railway la
Dor, specifications to assist employees
collect wages, blacklisting laws, pro-
visions for private employment agen-
cies, regulations for salaries for fire
men, preference laws for Montana
citizens and veterans, and many
others, it is easily understandable why
funds must be made available.
The 1851 legislature appropriated
$4,000 for the biennium or Sis, 900
for each year. About $1,000 of this
latter amount goes for the wages of
the commissioner and his assistant.
The balance doesn't leave much for
supplies, stenographic help, or ira
vel expense to supervise and enforce
these laws. The Attorney General is !

METCALF SEEKS
STATE COOPERATION
ON Freight RATES

HELENA -(SpeciaD - Rep.-elect
Lee Metcalf this week suggested that
the state take bigger hand in the
move to equalize freight rates, which
he calls %Montanas number One
economic problem"
The Democrat asked Republican
Gov.-elect Hugo ]. Aronson to in
clude in his biennial message to the
Legislature converting Jan. 5 recon-
mendations for the appropriation to
the Board of Railroad Commissioners
and to the Attorney General of adj
ditional funds.
These appropriations, Metcalf said
in letter to Aronson, are neces-
sary to complete preparation of Mon
tana's case for equalized freight rates
and present it to the Interstate Com
merce Commission.
Metcalf noted that this nations
freight rate structure has been I'M
der practically continuous study for
more than 10 years. The goal of this
study, his letter continued, "has been
tt establishment of fair and rea-
sonsable' rates"
"Montanans among them the
Board of Railroad Commissioners.
the State Chamber of Commerce and
various private groups-have joined
in this study with representatives
of the ICC, other state and national
freight rate committees, the railroads
and shippers" Metcalf continued.
"These groups now are preparing
their cases for hearing sometime next
year, probably not before June.
What, if anything, will be done
about Montana's inequitable freight
rates may depend in large part upon
our presentation at these hearings.
81 know we can depend on the
Chamber of Commerce and the var
lous private groups interested in cd
ualizing freight rates to continue
their excellent work.
But they cannot be expected to
carry the load alone. They will need
the help of state agencies"
In the meantime, Metcalf offered
Aronson his fullest cooperation in
efforts to solve the freight rate prob
lem.

The lease applies only to one

test other pay zones, he must do
it within that period. If he finds
more than one oil and he must
maintain a continuous drilling pro-
gram to every zone, or else his
lease to that zone will expire. The
company says this will prevent an
operator from holding an entire
field for years on the basis of the
small production from new margin
al wells in their declining years.
Many oil men say this imposes too
great hardship, especially with the
deep drilling needed to hit oil so
far. But the greatest criticism is
leveled at royalty provisions.

CROP RETURNS OF LAST TWO YEARS GREATER
THAN COST OF IRRIGATION FACILITIES

$4,809,350. The value of the sugar
beet crop, third high in total value
from the 20,400 acres planted was
estimated at $3,448,750 or more than
$168 an acre not including the value
of the beet tops which are used ex-
tensively for livestock feed on Recla-
nation farms.
The top crop in return per acre
was potatoes-S290 average from
each of the $3.50 acres planted. Sug-
ar beets was the second high crop in
return per acre. Beans, produced
on 16,500 acres and with an average
return of $79, was third high.
The Lower Yellowstone Project and
Huntley Project, near Billings, both
had average gross crop returns of
approximately $58 an acre. Following
these two projects in top per-acre
return were the Buffalo Rapids First
Division in eastern Montana, the
Shoshone in northwestern Wyoming,
the Milk Rivr in northern Montana,
and the Buford-Trenton Project in
western North Dakota with yields
of $55, $52, $52, and $50, respect
lively.
Regional Director Vernon said that
the increase in crop values on the
operating projects was attributed to
the greater yields resulting from
favorable growing season and i'm
proved farm practices, and from the
increase in crop prices over 1851.
The Regional Director also pointed
out that in almost every case the
value of the crops produced during
the last two years alone on the in
dividual projects in Region 6 are
greater than the actual cost of con-
structing the irrigation feature of the
Reclamation project.

BILLINGS-Crops produced on the
II Bureau of Reclamation operating
projects in Region brought an all
time high return in 1862, according
to K. F. Vernon, director of the Blu
reau's Region 6.
Topping the previous record year,
1947, by more than 100000 and
1851 by more than $5,000,000, the
cash value of crops produced on prof.
ects built by the Bureau or served
by Bureau-constructed water-supply
works amounted to an estimated
$22,167,500.
The crop census, compiled by prof.
ect and Bureau personnel, covers the
Buffalo Rapids First and Second Di-
visions, Huntley, Intake, Lower Vel
lowstone, Milk River, and Sun River
Projects in Montana; Belle Fourche
in South Dakota; Buford-Trenton in
North Dakota, and Riverton and Sho-
shone Projects in Wyoming, and the
Savage Unit of the Missouri River Ba-
sin Project in eastern Montana.
A breakdown of the 1862 esti-
mated crop returns reveals that 1884,
100 of the SIS, 900 acres included in
the projects were under cultivation
during the 1852 crop season and that
the average return per acre for crops
grown was approximately Salts.
CEREAL GRAINS, TOP CROP
IN VALUE
Cereal grains, planted on about 38
per cent of the total area under Gull
tivation, was the top crop in total
value, with the 179,350 acres plant
ed producing grains valued at ST.
282,5O0 or about 81 per cent of the
value of all crops. Alfalfa hay was
second high crop in total value
