Four of us represented Montana
the other day in supporting budget
requests for the Bureau of Reclama-
tion totaling almost S131s million
for the year beginning next July /.
In the group | introduced to the
Appropriations subcommittee were
DeMar Taylor of Dillon, H. S. Hib-
bard of Helena and E. w. Rising of
Washington, d. c.
Taylor spoke for the people of the
Beaverhead Valley in support of a
request for $4,000 for planning
multipurpose Clark Canyon Dam on
the Beaverhead River near Dillon.
Clark Canyon would be the main
feature of the so-called East Bench
Unit, which, as authorized, would
include also diversion dam and a
system of canals, laterals and drains.
1t would prevent a recurrence of
damaging floods in the Dillon Valley,
provide a much-needed municipal
water supply for the city of Dillon
and bring full irrigation service to
some $4,000 acres of land and supple
mental water to almost $4,000 acres
more Flood control releases also
would be used to produce power. The
most recent estimate of the total
cost is $21 n million.
eve are in desperate need of con-
trolled water storage" Taylor told
the subcommittee. eve very defi-
nitely have ample water if it could
only be delivered when we need it."
1t was brought out during dis
eussion of Clark Canyon that irri-
cation water from Lima Reservoir
now is used up to 100 miles away.
Clark Canyon Dam would cut that
distance in two, with resultant saw
ng of water now lost by percolution
md evaporation, and without impair
ng any existing water rights. With |
of the dam the lower part
# the valley would be irrigated from
lima Reservoir, the upper part from
he reservoir backed up behind the
lew dam.
Hibbard represented the farmers
nd water users of the Helena Valley
n speaking for So million for the
Telena Valley Unit. Completion OF
he irrigation features would bring a
I'LL water supply to $4,000 acres,
water to 1900 more,
i the fertile Helena Valley.
This project, Hibbard said, "will !

contribute greatly to the stability
of agriculture in the Helena Valley,
to the stability of the surrounding
livestock range country which is de-
| pendent upon it to great extent for
winter feed and to the stability and
well-being of the city of Helena,
which derives a considerable portion
of its business from the surrounding
ranching and agricultural enter
prises."
Rising, representing the Montana
State Water Conservation Board,
supported all six items in the Bu-
reau's Missouri Basin Project budget,
including money for:
Carrying of existing contracts on
Tiber Dam, completing plans for
power and irrigation features of the
Lower Marias Unit.
Investigation, surveys and advance
planning, including the East Bench
Unit.
Replacing canal structures, widen
ing the main canal where earth slides
have occurred and improving pipe
lines on the Milk River Project.
Drainage and minor construction,
including additional drainage facili-
ties on the first and second divisions
of the Buffalo Rapids project and
on the Greenfield division of the Sun
River project, and drainage bitches
required before lands are placed
under irrigation on the Grow Creek
Unit.
Facilities needed to make Fort Peck
power available in quantities needed
for irrigation pumping, Rural Elec-
Administration co-opera-
tives and other users at several points
in Montana and North Dakota. The
budget should also have included an
other generator at Fort Peck.
Taylor's appearance here was evi-
1ence of continued local interest in
he East Bench Unit, which is needed

Valley. In the past there have been
! number of attempts to organize
md develop a project in this area

government. These have not material

Here's what happened regarding
Montana in Washington last week:
KALISPELL AIR SERVICE
/ The Civil Aeronautics Board hearc
James Murphy, Kalispell attorney
argue that Northwest Airlines should
continue to serve his community. A
CAB lawyer supported Murphy by
saying, in summary, that Gas of now
Kalispell needs air service, and North
west should provide it,"
A lawyer for Northwest argued,
as his company has before, that its
Kalispell service is uneconomical and,
because of weather, mountains and
lack of modern navigation aids, un-
feasible
It's hard to say when the Board
will announce it's decision. 1t might
wait until applications for feeder
line service to Kalispell are processed,
and order Northwest to continue
service at Kalispell at least until
feeder line starts serving the Flat
head.

BOOST FOR MINING
The Senate Interior Committee,
headed by Montana's Senator James
2. Murray, favorably reported S 922,
which would encourage discovery, de-
velopment and production of tung-
ten, manganese, chromite, mica, as
,estos, beryl and columbium-tanta-
um ores by extending government
programs for IL years from
resent termination dates. The COM
littee recommendation was unani-
nous, but the administration is ex-
ected to oppose the bill. The COM
The people's voice., 1955-05-27

Soaring criticism was given the
Administration farm policies as the
Senate, by voice vote, approved a
bill appropriating $1.4 billion to the
Department of Agriculture to carry
on its work during the IL months
beginning July 1.
This exceeds by S11 million the
total asked by President Eisenhower
and Agriculture Secretary Benson,
and even exceeds by $4 million the
amount approved earlier by the
House. The Senate bill, as in the
measure approved by the House, also
rearranged appropriations recon-
mended by the President to better
meet the current farm need. Funds
were restored to "action programs"
to remove the emphasis on extension
and research programs.
This includes $3.50 million for
soil conservation work, SIS million
more than the Administration had
requested.
Sen. John j. Williams (R-Del.)
led the losing fight to cut soil con-
back to the $195 million
by Benson.
This, asserted Sen. Richard B.
Russell (D-Ga.), was an attempt to
Sabotage the farmer"
Benson, Russell charged, came to
wanting to abolish the
soil conservation program. He point
I'd out that IA states are now being

storms. Saving the country's soil

PARTNERSHIP MEANS DELAY
J. Carter Johnson of Billings testi-
fled on Yellowtail Dam before a
House Appropriations subcommittee
on Public Works. He said he thought
the partnership" approach the prop
er one, however, the people
of eastern Montana want the dam,
and who builds it is neither politi-
cal, bureaucratic, nor cooperative
matter to them"
If Yellowtail is developed as
partnership project there will prob
ably be several more years of delay
before construction is started. This
is because it is now authorized-and
has been for more than 10 years
as federal project. Before construc-
tion under the partnership plan could
begin federal construction would
have to be "deauthorized, and the
partnership plan, as well as an ap-
would have to be okayed
by Congress. Considering the fact
that the House Interior Committee,
under Republican leadership last year,
federal construction,
and the fact that the Democrats now
controlling Congress are even more
strongly in favor of federal construc-
ion, it is unlikely that Congress will
okay the partnership approach in the
near future. In other words, if the
thing is to get the dam
ouilt soon, it must be as presently

3.-The shots themselves will be

by coop and labor union health plan
physicians, where services are avail

Association asked doctors to vacci-
nate only children in the SO group
until adequate supplies come on the
market.
It's a question whether the govern
ment should simply inspect vaccine
production, keep some loose control
over its distribution, and have moth
ing to say about administering the
shots themselves.
The President believes this is as
far as the government should go.
Others differ.

president, "The only control that

DELAYED BECAUSE OF

GREAT FALLS-Letting of con-
tracts for construction of the Great
Falls Labor Temple here probably
cannot take place until late summer
because of delay in completion of
construction and detailed specifica-
tions for the new building, Elmer
Britten, retary-treasurer of the
temple association, said this week.
At the time when plans for the
100000 structure were announced
last month it was thought that bids
likely would be called for in May.
Britten emphasized, however, that
the temple association still expects
to have the structure enclosed by the
time the 1856 winter sets in, and
that work on the interior would con-
tinue through the winter months.
The temple will be erected on a
seven-acre tract purchased by the
labor temple between Fifth and Sew
anth streets and Eleventh and Twelfth
avenues south.
Stock in the temple is being sold

,ose of raising the money and con-
tructing the temple. Christian Den
