the lake area, followed a short
investigation spearheaded by a
private detective.
Facts Unearthed
Employed by members of the
Lester family, Dick Hart of the
American Investigative Agency,
Falls Church, unearthed ma
terial which he turned over to
the Testers attorney, H. Sell
wyn Smith. and then succeeded
in interesting the sheriff and
commonwealth attorneys Of
fees.
Mr.. Hart said he developed
his information from talks
with Gavin, the accused handy
man. AS he had done once be-
fore at a hearing, Gavin pro-
tested that he had confessed
to the crime only because his
life was threatened, Mr.. Hart
said.
Gavin indicated he became
involved only because he knew
too much about the shooting
and had confessed under pres
sure, Mr.. Hart said.
Took Lie Tests
During the investigation,
Gavin twice took lie detector
tests-one which reacted in his
favor and the other "inconclu-
sively," the detective said.
A letter turned up in the in
vestigation was turned over to
the FBI by Virginia State Po-
lice for tests. 1t purportedly
was a letter written by Gavin,
and given to his brother Mar
tin, with instructions that it
be turned over to police in
the event Billy Gavin was
killed.
The FBI was asked to de-
termine, if possible, whether
the letter was written soon
after the shooting, or at a
more recent date.
Gavin already was in jail
on a 30-day trespassing SEN
tence when he was charged
with the murder last Novem-
Der. He earlier had been free
on bail on a housebreaking
charge at the time of the
killing.
Confronted With Weapon
Sheriff Turner D. Wheeling
said Gavin first admitted the
shooting when confronted with
the murder weapon, a 49,
caliber Smith g. Wesson re-
volver owned by Woodrow AL
paugh, AZ, a salesman for the
firm and brother of Luther.
Gavin at that time said he
had taken the revolver from
Mr.. Alpaugh's jeep two weeks
before the murder. He told
police he shot Mr.. Lester be-
cause he coveted his 6-year-
old car.
Gavin and three brothers
were taken from an orphanage

might become a trial run for

the Western package plan for

rejection has been exposed, the

centrate on new arrangements

has threatened to GUST West

Weather Charts
In our classroom we made three
weather charts. Mrs. Kunkle, our
art teacher, helped us get some
ideas on how to make our charts.
On our first chart we made a
map of Milford, which shows the
direction the wind is blowing in
Milford.
On our second chart we have two
clocks. One shows when the sun
rises and the other shows when the
sun sets. In the middle of this
chart we have a rain gauge show
ing the amount of rainfall around
Milford.
On our third chart we have a
thermometer which tells us what
the temperature of the day will be

November is a month of thanks
giving for abundant harvests. 1t

The prevailing Westerlles are
blowing southwesterly in the South
ern Hemisphere, and northwesterly
in the Northern Hemisphere.
The doldrums are in the middle
of the trade winds, and are un-
pleasant and oppressive. This belt
is about one hundred to several
hundred miles wide. In the dol

The polar easterlies appear to

Clouds
Cumulus Clouds:
Cumulus means a heap" They
are the fair weather clouds. When
we see them floating like huge pill
lows through the blue sky we know
that we will have bright and fair
day. 1t is only when they turn
black in becoming more dense that
rain falls from them.
Stratus Clouds:
The clouds that usually bring us
our rain are called stratus clouds.
Stratus means "a layer" Some
times these clouds are on top of
one another like a layer cake.
Sometimes they are strung out like
piece of taffy candy being pulled.
When layers of clouds are so thick
that they blot out the sun, we have
grey days. Often a drizzly rain
falls. Stratus clouds are very near
the earth. Sometimes they are so
close to the ground that we walk
right through them. Then we call
them fog. In many places, espe-
cially along the seacoast, fogs are
very common.
Cirrus Clouds:
Another kind of cloud that we see
very often is the cirrus cloud. Cir
rus means "curl." Cirrus clouds
are farthest from the earth, from
to 10 miles, and because of the
cold so far up are filed with ice
crystals. They are like curled
white feathers floating across the
sky. Sometimes they move slow
ly and that means that the day will
be fair. When the cirrus clouds
move swiftly it usually means that
the day will become colder.
Nimbus Clouds:
There is another kind of cloud
that we ought to know about and
that is a nimbus, meaning rain
storms" That really is a rain
maker. 1t is dark and heavy look
ing and low in the sky. 1t is like
ly to bring hard rain, although
it may not last long.
The darker the cloud, the larg-
er the drops, and the nearer the
rain is. The light cumulus clouds
do not mean rain at all, not so
long as they stay light and fluffy.
The grey stratus clouds are very
close to rain and mean it prob
ably will rain, especially if the air
gets cooler But the nimbus
clouds are already sending down
rain. Nimbus clouds always ac-
company thunderstorms.

The Clouds
The clouds are made of many
things,

MONTANA POWER PURCHASES
VAST C0LSTRIP COAL DEPOSITS
NORTHERN PACIFIC

Purchase of vast coal deposits
which j. E. Corette, president and
general manager of The Montana
Power Company, says should
have the effect of making electric
power available in Montana
throughout the definite future al
low cost as compared to power
costs in most other parts of the
nation was announced today by
the Northern Pacific Railway
Company and Montana Power.
Low cost fuel is the most eS-
sential element in keeping power
costs low as compared to those
in other states" he said. "Low
power costs are a vitality impor-
tant element in attracting new
business and new people to Mon
tana and in maintaining the eff
ficiency and the competitive posi-
ton of existing businesses in
Montana"
In a joint statement today, the
two firms announced that the MP
has granted e 30-year lease to
Montana Power to mine about
$500 acres of railway company
coal lands near Colstrip, 100 miles
east of Billings. Reserves of from
SO million to 60 million tons of
sub-bituminous coal lie near the
surface where they can be recover
ed by large-scale, lowcost strip
mining. The transaction is sub
ject to approval by the federal
government of assignment to the
utility of government leases now
held by the railroad.
In st. Paul, N P President Rob-
ert S. MacFarlane said the rail-
road not only will receive mining
royalties from the operation but
also will derive substantial rev.
enue for hauling the coal from
the field.
Montana Power contemplates
that its future power supply will
come primarily from steam-elect-
ric generating plants. The COM
pany now operates n $4,000
kilowatt steam power plant at
Billings using oil and gas as fuel.
The utility now is studying the
size plant to be installed and
when it should begin construction
Of a second steamelecrtic plant
to supply power to the growing
population and industry in Mon
tana. The purchase of the Col
strip property is one step in the
plan for the construction of this
second steam-electric plant and
plant, Corette said.
The Colstrip operation will be
conducted under contract with
Montana Power by Foley Bro
hers, Inc, of St. Paul which has
operated the project for the MP
since it was opened.
Included in the properties ac-
by Montana Power at Col
"trip are the town itself, which
vas built by the railroad and

The 3-million-pound stripping
shovel has a 20-cubic-yard bucket
and the loading shovel, which
weighs about a million pounds,
has a 17-yard bucket.

syth, Mont, to Colstrip. During
a 30-year period, MP used nearly
Al million tons Of coal from the
field to power steam locomotives
that had been especially designed
to achieve maximum efficiency

preparation.
During the late twenties and
early thirties, the railway burned
Rosebud coal in practically all
locomotives operated between Dill
worth, Mimi, and Spokane, Wash,
a distance of 1887 miles.
Peak production of $780, 900
tons a year was reached in 1943
the height of World War II. With
the advent of the diesel locomo-
tive, production dwindled until
the mine was closed down early in
1858 when the railroad was fully
dieselized.
The Northern Pacific and The
Montana Power Company both
believe that this transaction will
have the effect in future years
Of obtaining maximum production
of coal from these properties and
of creating in Montana on the
