Water Can Be Stored, Electricity Can't

Upstream storage is the key to the entire develop
ment picture in the Pacific Northwest. Stored water
is stored power And the higher you back into the
mountains to dam up your waters, the greater will be
the volume of power you receive from those waters
Power is created by falling water The greater the
fall the greater is the amount of power produced

was $7,237,680 and represented an
increase of $4,000, $50 in outstanding
common stock over the year 1850.
Gross operating revenues of the
utility for 1851 were $9,117,602, an
increase of $2,022,774 over 1850. Net
income for 1851 was $1,522,512, an
increase of $544,7 over 1850. The
NET income amounted to a return
to the company of just under IL per
cent on gross revenues.
Total value of INDUS gas plant
was 500, 74O,O52. This included value
of properties of newly acquired Bill
lings Gas Company, Big Horn Com
pany, and part of Rocky Mountain
Gas Company. All three acquisitions
were during year 1851. NET income
for 1851 amounted to just under six
per cent on actual value of gas plant.
For 1851 MDU had a total of 49,
084 residential consumers, and 6,945
commercial users. Residential con-
sumers used an average of 1913 thou
sand cubic feet of gas that year at
a cost of 1896 average bill. Price
per m.c.f. averaged slightly over 59A
cents. Commercial consumers used an
average of 755 m.c.f. in 1861, at an
average cost of $320.87 per consum-
er. This amounted to an average price
of AZ u cents per m.c.f.
Should the Public Service Com
mission grant the entire rate in
crease sought by MDU, residential
consumers in the affected south
central Montana areas would have
to pay out an estimated $150,00O
more per pear for heating their
homes. Commercial users would pay
out in excess of 100000 per year.

Within the past years tuberculosis has
dropped from the No. cause Of death to
the seventh place In Prince Edward Coun-
ty within the past fiVe-year period the num-
Der Of cases has increased slightly (noW
21) in white people and noticeably in the
colored population (noW 80 cases.. These
increases may be explained in part by
early diagnosis due to the annual free
clinics.
N-ray examinations are Of prime i'm
portance between the ages of Is and 40.
as the diesase is found in greater incidence
during this age span. The annual free chest
clinics offer the best opportunity for all
of the people to assure themselves to be
free Of the disease. Because tuberculosis
is contagious the ultimate goal is to find
every case early and begin its treatment,
thereby reducing the possibility of conta-
gion
The victory over tuberculosis has not
been won Substantial advances have been
made. Total victory can be achieved when
every citizen. Is years old and over joins
the fight The first line of defense is the
annual free chest X-ray examinations.
This week is the time set for the attack.
Won't YOU join in this great fight for your
own protection and that Of your family
and neighbor?

European Duty,

nEPTTY SECRETARY OF DEFENSE
~ Roger NJ. keyes, who recently returned
from 30-day inspection trip to Europe
and other points, has reported to the Pen
tagon that there is considerable over-statf-
ing in armed services units overseas. Reyes
says the morale and health of troops in
Europe are excellent.
In fact. statistics show that the health
of American troops in Europe is twice as
good as that of those in the United States,
according to Reyes. The absence-wthout
leave rate is very low and the crime rate
among L. S. troops IN Europe IS below
that Of civilian population in the United
States.
As a result of these desirable conditions
in Europe. Keyes believes some armed

service units are overstatfed and the Pen
tagon is expected to act to comb out the
unnecessary personnel. Recent reports of
super-plus living by armed services per
sonnet in Europe will also be investigated.
1t is no secret that the buying power
of the U. s. dollars abroad gives Americans
financial advantage. 1t is not generally
recognized, however, that the health of I.
S. troops in Europe is better than that of
those serving in the United States. Thus.

case, overseas duty is neither hazardous
nor physically harmful, and is certainly ed

Let us say: North American

accused the Associated Press.

that President Cleveland had

he believed that was unique in

1948 Campaign Cited.
Both the American Society of
Newspaper Editors and Sigma
Delta Chi. national professional
Journalism fraternity, have re-
fused to undertake surveys of
press coverage in the campaign
on the ground that it would be
impossible to make an accurate
check. But Research Associates
thinks its experience shows the
job could be done on a complete
national scale if the papers
wanted to do it.
In fact, it believes it's proceed
ures are sound enough so that
they could be applied with equal
accuracy to the 1948 election in
which President Truman so dras-
tically upset his Republican op-
ponent Gov. Dewey.
Although it has not compar-
able analysis of that campaign,
it's staff members are willing to
bet the record would bear out
the same general thesis:
Mr.. Truman, clawed his way to
victory by keeping himself con-
stantly in the headlines with
news, news and more news. while
Gov. Dewey stood on his dignity
and drifted graciously to high
level defeat.
