NeiIs' Yord Logs
TotoI 2o,8so,OOO

LIBBY-Sawlogs totaling 49,
1896 feet of log scale are stack
ed in the J. Neils Lumber COM
pany's mill yard to be manufac-
tured into lumber. Spruce amounts
to 80 per cent of this total.
The total has greatly increased
during the fall months during
which a program of salvaging the
infested spruce has been maintain
ed.
1t is of interest to know that
the log input for September
amounted to 14,633,OOO feet of log
scale. October input amounted to
13,365,0OO feet.
This is doubtless one of the most
imposing stocks of sawlogs that
has ever been assembled at one
time-at least in the company's
history and probably is as large or
larger than any other company has
Stockpiled.

thority.
The principles involved are i'm
portant and the stakes very great.
But one factor has to be remem-
bered, Canada considers sources
of energy among its most import
ant national assets.
Canada does not want piece
meal development of the Colum-
bia river without full consider
alton of some overall plan for the
whole stream and safeguards for
all Canadian rights.
The upper reaches of the stream
have immense power assets, but
their development will be delayed
until such time as a market arises.
Moreover, Ottawa insists that there
must be a Canadian market. OF
tawa does not want to export its
developed power to the United
States save on terms which fully
safeguard potential Canadian de-
Velopment.

Gvnmon Robs 500
From Columbia Bar

Columbia Falls, city of 1900
residents trying to get along with
one regular policeman experience
ed an armed holdup Monday at
3:15 a. m.
A masked gunman took $100
from the Columbia Bar. He hasn't
been caught.
John Gilman cleans up the Col
umbia Bar after it closes each Q
a. m. T.
Gilman comes to work before 2.
James Connole, bar owner, was
last to leave Monday morning,
locking the door at $40.
At 3:15, Gilman felt a gun jam
med in his back with "This is a
holdup,'
Gilman commented that he re-
piled with something like Fine
and dandy, come on and get it."
Gilman, who was 70 last June
"a, added that the thief was bad
tempered and shaking all over.
The gun was jammed into his
ribs to the extent that Wednesday
the spot was still sore.
The thief apparently had been
hiding in the back room during the
time the bar was being closed, and
came out after Connole left.
The burglar took a box with the
days change, $50 in $5 bills and
$50 in mixed change. Gilman add
ed that che was pretty well salts
fled with what he got"
The bandit then directed ELL
man to go into the mems room
with "I'll kill you, you - If you
come out in less than 10 minutes"
The door closed, and within a
minute, Gilman was on the phone.
He telephoned Connole and Vern
Brandes, Columbia Falls police
chief.
Both came right over. A high
way patrolman showed up, and IN
a brief 20 to 25 minutes, Sheriff
Dick Walsh arrived from Kalispell
Roadblocks were reported as
being over the county.
Gilman said that the bandit wore
a silk stocking over his face. He
did not have eyeholes cut in the
stocking as has been reported.
The man was about SO, accord
ing to Gilman. He did not know
the color of his complexion, but
saw dark hair on his chest and
neck.
Comment about Columbia Falls
is that John Gilman used his head.
Another recent robbery, appar-
emily not connected with the Col
umbia Bar theft, was $1,000 from
a Missoula super-market.

Canada SfoIIinq
On Libby Dam

This article, written by G. v.
Ferguson, editor of the Mon
treaI Star, appeared in the De-
cember issue of The Washing
ton, 70. CO. Post and the Dec.
is issue of the Western News at
Libby.
MONTREAL-Any notion that
the huge Grand Coulee and Bon
neville Dams fairly well dispose
of the power resources of the Col
umbia river are dispelled by an
American negotiation to build a
dam at Libby, Mont, across the
Kootenai river, which is part of
the Columbia system. More will be
heard of the Libby project be-
fore it is approved.
Estimates of the Columbia's to-
tai power potential equal those
for the entire st. Lawrence river
system and dwarf power develop
ments built or building at Niagara
and along the international section
of the st. Lawrence Seaway.
About three-fifths of the Col
umbia's total power potential,
when developed, will be derived
from plants in the United States.
Another one-fifth could be utili-
zed by plants located in the United
States but drawing upon regu-
lated flow from storage in Canada.
AS this extra fifth represents about
35 billion kilowatt-hours, it is of
great concern to both countries.
The kind of problem raised is
to be seen in the Libby applica-
ton now before the Internation-
al Joint Commission which reg
ulates water boundary questions
between Canada and the United
States. The Commission is COM
posed of six members, three from
each country.
The United States has applied
for permission to proceed with
construction of a dam at Libby, \
which would have the effect of
raising the Kootenai river level
at the boundary by $50 feet, flood
ing back into Canada for AZ miles
up the Arrow Lakes.
Editorial Note: Editor Fergu-
son should study his geography.
Arrow Lakes are on the Canadian
Columbia, not the KootenaD.
There would be about million
horsepower at Libby, and with
the additional water storage,
some six billion kilowatt hours
would be added to the
output of downstream plants.
Water law in the American
stems from the old Ro-
man and Spanish principle that
the first to make use of water has
a prior right to it. Elsewhere on
he continent, however, and in
he rulings of the international
Joint Commission, the principles
If English water law apply: A man
nay use the water that flows over
lis property so long as he does
lot do so to the detriment of his
That is the principle likely to
,e applied to the Libby applica-
ion, and the Canadian contention
eems to be that at least one-third
If the Libby dam power, if and
when developed, should be made
AVAILABLE to the Canadians, who
would of course, pay an appro-
,riate share of the costs.
The United States applicants
lave offered to make substan-
ial share available = about 20
percent and the provincial gov
of British Columbia is !
Urging acceptance of that offer.
The Federal Government, which
las the final word in the matter, I
