Beavers Rally In Last Half Of Ninth
To Nip Defiance YellOwjackets, 1915

Bluffton college came from behind
for the third successive time here
Thursday afternoon of last week to
nip the Defiance Yellowjackets, 1915.
in a thrilling game on the college
diamond.
Trailing 1873 going into the bottom
half of the eighth inning the Beavers
chased Leonard, second Defiance
pitcher, with six-run outburst after
two outs and then added three more
in the bottom of the ninth to pull the
game out of the fire.
Coach A. C. Burcky's team rallied
to defeat Wilmington twice last week
on the local field after trailing by
big margins in both contests. In the
first game against the Quakers they
scored six times with two out in the
last of the seventh.
Jim Bishop, senior Highlander,
who got credit for both of the Will
mington victories, came in to pitch
in the eighth inning and again was

meet of the year. He placed third
in the 440 and ran on the Beaver
mile relay team which placed third
behind Wilmington and Findlay.
Two records were broken in the
meet and another was equaled.
Ebert Dubenion, unbeaten Beaver
sprint star, ran the 100-yard dash in
10, two tenths off his best time for
the spring, to equal the mark set by
Eddington of Bowling Green in 1929
in the old Northwestern Ohio loop.
Dubenion took single scoring honors
with lax points.
Jim Stiger, Findlay, former state
Class B hurdles champion, set new
mark in the high hurdles with a
1876 effort. The old mark of 16.1
was set by Slayer of Bluffton last
year. The other new record was set
by Defiance's Londeree, who covered
the 880-yard run in 2:03.2. The old
mark was 2:04.
Other Bluffton firsts were Duben-
ions 22.5 effort in the 220yard dash
and Gary Stenson's two mile victory.

MO To Be Known AS
MO intercollegiate

Beginning with the 1856 football
session the name of the Mid-OhiC
League will be known as the Mid
Ohio intercollegiate League. The
change of name for the loop was
decided upon at a meeting of coaches
and faculty representatives Saturday
at Findlay.
League officials decided upon the
change of the league name because
of the large number of high school
conferences bearing similar titles
such as Greater Ohio, Central Ohio,
Northern Ohio, etc.
Wilmington was selected as the
site for the leagues track and field
meet for 1857.
Representing Bluffton at the meet
ing was Athletic Director A. c.
Burcky, Coach Ken Mast and Luther
Shelter, faculty representative.

GENE McRAE ON
USS BOYD TAKES A
IN SHIPS OPEN HOuSE

Gene S. .McRae, Pipefitter Fire
man, USN, son of Mr.. and Mrs
Glenn S. McRae, Soaring Route
Sidney, Montana, took part April
Is in an Open House aboard his
ship, the USS Boyd odd SAD, a
destroyer based at San Diego,

Power Failure
Need Not Be
Dairy Problem

Bozeman Dairymen facec
with an electric power failure a
milking time need not resort Il
the armstrong" method to get
the milking chore done if they
have a car or truck with vacuum
operated windshield wipers, says
Eric B. Wilson, extension agri-
cultural engineer at Montans
State College.
In such an emergency, he said,
the windshield vacuum line from
the motor vehicle may be used to
operate the milking machines,
The only extra equipment needed
is a hose long enough to reach
from the vehicle through a barn
window to the nearest milking
machine stall cock and hose con-
nection.
On every car or truck the
windshield wiper is connected to
the intake manifold by a piece of
tubing. Generally there is a small
length of hose providing the flex-
Utility between the motor and
the chassis. All that is necessary
is to pull off the flexible hose
from the tubing nearest the in
take manifold and push the long
hose on.
A 3I8 inch hose is the standard
size for practically all milking
machines. Since it will generally
be too large to fit the small tube
coming from the intake manifold,
a few wraps of friction tape
around this will bring it up to
size so the hose will fit.
After the connections have been
made, start the motor and let it
idle at a speed just fast enough
to keep it from Stalling when the
stall cock is opened.
The vacuum may be just a
little more or a little less than
the vacuum produced by the cleo
trio machine. If it is more, the
relief valve will take care OF it,
and if it is less, the milking oper-
alton may take a little longer.
in most cases the a.
mount of vacuum will be close
enough so that it will operate
one or two milking machine units
satisfactorily.

Helena In the westward
surge of national population
Montana stands to gain $4,000
in the next 20 years, according
10 a projection published by the
magazine u. S. News & World
Report. This would put Montana's
population at 10000 in 1875, 8
gain of 21.6 percent.
Meanwhile, the projection indl-
Gates, the Pacific states of Cali
fornia, Oregon and Washington
will have more than doubled
their 1855 population by climbing
to 81, 805. 200. Montana Will grow
faster than the Dakotas, but not
as fast as Wyoming and Idaho.
Last year / commented on a
i10-year projection to 1865 by
the sarne magazine and made
some observations on the impli-
cations of the population trend as
affecting our state. l pointed to
the tendency of increase OF in
dustrial population, particularly
in the cities, compared with the
rural residents.
The two projections l have
mentioned were based on data
and methods developed by the
census bureau. I assume that in
the general formula economic
factors are important. Certainly
they are fundamentally important
in Montana. The story of the
states population growth will
continue to be told largely in
terms of utilization of natur-
al resources. Or let us call it in
dustry.
Our potentials include water,
tillage and grasSlands, metals
and minerals, oil and gas, and
forest products. These are the
foundation OF our economy - a
varied economy in which, for
t~unately, our eggs r not all in
one basket.
1t is not easy to define just
where and when it began, but
Montana is already in a new era
industrial expansion, the real
a~cceleration of which may not
become apparent for at least an
1ther decade. For example, the
line is approaching when, thru
advancements in chemistry, vast
deposits of coal for which there
s now little demand will find
lew uses.
Metals extraction and refining
las long been in the forefront in
Montana industry. Butte has been
as the richest hill on
.arth, but a few years ago one
vas hearing that the profitable
of Butte ores was waning
md that for Butte it was the
of the end. But since
hen the Anaconda company has

launched the Greater Butte prof
ect, and only a few weeks ago
announced a further operation
which will add substantially tc
the community's payroll and bust
ness.
In western Montana's great
forest regions several paper pulp
mills will be established within
the next five or 10 years. Al
least one plywood plant has been
installed and there will be others
in the near future. All this
means more industry more
people - in an area where the
tree is king, just as wheat is
king over a big expanse east of
the Rockies.
AS the industrial population
increases, the home market for
agricultural and livestock products
will increase. Also, the spectacu-
lar population gains in the Pa
cific coast states will open new
and larger markets for Montana's
agricultural, livestock and gen.
eral industrial output.
Without succumbing to cham
Der of commerce optimism, my
estimate is that by 1875 Mon
tana's population will be at least
800. 600, and a figure of a million
is not necessarily a fantastic
dream.

first, because water is our most
precious material asset for the
special reason that other states

much and, unless we r ever
alert, they will get it away from

such as are frequently urged in
congress, will take over. 1t will

A Columbia basin compact COM
mission, authorized by congress
several years ago, is trying to
work out an arrangement. Mon
ANA was not represented officially
until after Governor Aronson took
office in 1858. A proposed COM
pact, subject to ratification by
he legislature, was signed by the
compact commission members, or
!, majority of them, in January
1855, but the instrument - rath-
IT as was expected - got begged
Town in the lawmaking bodies,

I felt that the proposed COM

present and future needs, was
most advantageous to Montana,
,ut public power influences in
'ur legislature seemed to have
he idea that the compact might
pen the door for ascendency of
power interests. The COM
