L~dndmdrks League
Gets Certificate for
1852 Contributions

The American Association
for State and Local History
has voted the st. Croix Land
marks League a certificate
with a citation covering the
award voted the Landmarks
League at its 1852 convention
for outstanding contributions
Of the past year to the cause Of
state and local history. Autho-
rites like Prof. William S.
Powell, DR.. Broadus Mitchell
and Director Clifford L. Lord
consider that obtaining the
Award of Merit quite an
achievement indeed.
The American Association
for State and Local History
was instituted to recognize
outstanding achievement i n
the field of state and local his
tory by individuals and socie-
ties and other organizations,
government agencies, or any
other agencies or groups in
the United States and Canada.
No nomination is made ex-
cept in the case of unusually
meritorious work. The mere
fulfilment of routine functions,
in the case of an Individual or
even an historical society, for
instance, is not justification
for an award. The Award Com
mittee considers and compares
nominations, and only the no
limitations possessing distinct
ness Of achievement are given,
after keen and careful analy-
sis, awards.
Tn award to the St. Croix
Landmarks League is some
thing that everyone should be
very proud of.

MORE UNEMPLOYED Than A YEAR Ago, REPORTS
UkEMPL OYMENT Commission

from the annual winter stagnation
in construction and many other out
door activities The figures today are
materially below January 1 of 1851
with $500, and 1850 with 10,800."
Near completion of Hungry Horse
and Canyon Ferry dams has neutral
lied winter employment which had
prevailed at both during recent years.
Other important construction prof.
ects, such as Tiber dam in northern
Montana and the new aluminium plant
at Columbia Falls, are not yet at the
hiring stage but will absorb sub
stantial numbers next spring and
summer.
Despite the relatively large num-
Der out of work now, according to
the report, the total of industrial en-
ployment in the state during Deem
Der was the highest on record for
that month, exceeding by 2,100 the
employment a year before. The av-
erage by months for 1852 was 1872
200 on industrial payrolls, 1900 more
than the average for the previous
year, which was itself record-break-
er. These figures are exclusive of
agricultural employment.
Claims for Unemployment compen-
sation benefits surged upward in the
first full week of the new year, the
commission reports, reaching a total
of 1880 as compared with 1000 a
year ago. This is still far below the
5000 of 1850 and 1880 in 1851.
Areas of heaviest claim 1oads are
Kalispell, 1,440; Billings, 500; Great
Falls, TIA; Missoula, GIT; Butte, ATT;
Helena, AL and Poison 395. Counties
in which agriculture is dominant have
negligible numbers filing for these
jobless benefits, ranging as low as
rs in Forsyth, Al at Fort Benton and
"A at Dillon.
Release of holiday help in retail
and wholesale establishments and in
post offices, the commission says, is
contributing to the present mount
ing total of unemployment. Some
scattering layoffs in construction and
logging are also occurring.
Records of past years show this
to be seasonal experience. The
peak usually occurs in late February
or early March, after which the re-
sumption of outdoor employment
steadily reduces the surplus.

lease terms and production of every
oil well in the state. In addition, due
to their official authority, they have
more up to the minute confidential
geological information at their fingers
ends, than any other organization pub
lie or private, could possibly secure.
In my opinion it should be made
mandatory by legislation, that the
technical terms of every State oil
lease be approved by the State Oil
Conservation Board before booming

ments between the Land Board and the
Oil Conservation Board, the Governor
could make the final decision.-E. j.

more people shared it and retail

Dept, reported, was about the same
as in 1861, though slightly larger

LIBBY DAM
Senate Joint Memorial No. 2 by
Weydemeyer, Lincoln, is an import
ant memorial to the Congress in that
it protests the arbitrary attitude of
the Army Engineers in considering
sites for the proposed Libby Dam.
Senator Weydemeyer in appealing to
the Congress points out the "bene-
fits to downstream areas are being

quate balancing consideration of det-
rimental effects upon the Montana |
economy" by the Army Engineers.
There are at least two major
sites for the proposed Libby Dam.
The site a number of miles up
stream from Libby was the one
considered at public hearings over
a year ago. Construction at that
point would bring about consider
ably less disturbance to the econ
omy of Lincoln county, and would
entail rebuilding considerably less
miles of railroad and highway, than
the site just above Libby that the
Engineers are now fayoring.

EXERCISE OF VOTING
FRANCHISE
Four bills to aid exercise of the
voting franchise have appeared this
week.
Two of these SD 20 and SD 30
the first by Moritz, Fergus, and Ma
honey, Garfield, and the second by
Moritz, will greatly simplify registra-
ton by members Of the Armed For
ces and civilians connected with the
Armed Forces.
Another, HB 69-by Graybill, Cas-
cade and Rimel, Missoula- would
permit three consecutive hours off
on election days for employees with
out loss of pay, to vote. This bill is
very similar to the Missouri law. Over
half of the states make provision for
time off for workers to go to the
polls.

duction late Thursday afternoon.
