There are some flowers
that seem to like hot spots.
These are the types to use
where there is no shade at
all and where the heat of
the sun bounces on walls and
pavements.
Well-drained slopes and
areas where sandy soil does
not permit the long retention
OF water are other locations
where these types will thrive.
Desirable ornamental flow
ers adapting well to these
conditions are not great in
numbers, but there are
enough of them to allow con-
siderable latitude in garden
design. While none of these
will stand absolute drought,
they do have the ability to
tolerate dry conditions that
would be disastrous to their
more tender relatives.
With the exception of the
perennial Coneflower, all
flowers discussed below are

flood control and maximum water
storage and power generation.
A private power combine made up
of four companies Including Mon
tana Power Co.. joined into the
Northwest Pacific Power Co. has filed
for dam on the Snake just above
it's confluence with the Salmon. This
combine was originally turned down
on low dam at the site and has come
back with proposals for a higher edi-
flee.
This high Mountain Sheep Dam
would not provide any water stor-
age or flood control for the Salmon
River, would result in higher costs
to consumers, and would provide
only about 60 per cent as much
power.
The two proposals now are before
the Federal Power Commission, which
is thoroughly dominated by Eisen-
hover appointees. Hearings will prob
ably get under way this month.

GREAT FALLS=tSpeCIaf to the
VOICE)-An attempt was made DUR
ing the 1859 Legislative Session to
pass an act intended to prevent as
sessing the state for the deficits of
the Silver Bow and Cascade county
hospitals by requiring county levy
sufficient to at least pay part of the
added cost involved in supporting
new hospitals.
DIR. M. F. Keller, candidate for
legislature from Cascade county,
charged on September 10 that the
result of the failure to pass lib l6
els that the taxpayers of the other
"a counties must now pay for the
operation of hospitals in just two
counties"
DR.. Keller apparently was not fully
aware of the facts, especially with
regard to his own county. According
to w. D. Weir, Cascade county COM
missioner, the county convalescent
hospital does not operate within a
given budget, in fact, this hospital
generally operates at a surplus.
u6 TtdSOu Ute COuIfIy uoCPitna oP-
pears to operate at deficit is OBJ
vious. In order for the county to re-
ceive g1ants-in-aid from the State
Welfare Department, all funds set
aside for county welfare must be
depleted. This includes poor fund,
general relief, and medical care funds.
For example, if the hospital was OPP
Grating under a budget of $4,000
and had not expended all of it's funds
at time when the other welfare
funds were depleted, then the excess
in the hospital budget would have
to be allocated to the other welfare
departments, and consumed before
grant could be received from the
state. Once this remainder was de-
pleted, the grant would be delivered,
and money transferred from the
county hospital budget would be re-
turned, thus appearing to have OPP
Grated at deficit.
The question arose because few
counties, especially Silver Bow and
Cascade, get large share of welfare
funds. In 1857 and 1858, only 8
counties of the Sc received state aid,
in total amount of $35O,OOO. Out of
this, Cascade got $108,O0O and Silver

Many Counties Contribute to
Cascade County Welfare Load

Bow Bow 81 0G 944 This ALLEGATION
necessary to supplement the county
poor funds. House Bills 16 and II
would have made these few counties
raise their own tax bill for welfare
services before they could qualify
for state grants in aid. Of the two
bills, HB IT was properly directed
and eventually amended and passed,
raising the county mill levy for well
fare purposes from to 6 mills. HB
16 was recognized as straw in the
wind and failed to receive House ap-
prevail.
Repr. John Sheehy, Yellowstone,
said the bills We're typical of a re-
gressive trend to balance national
and state budgets by forcing welfare
loads back on the local taxpayers.
He said the bills were discriminatory
and punitive; an attack on the aged
and infirm. He reminded the House
that there exists a great disparity
among counties in receipts of other
state funds because of peculiar local
conditions.
Yellowstone county, for instance,
gets large share of state equaliza-
ton funds for schools, because Vel
lowstone has a large proportion of
children. Silver Bow, on the other
hand. has a greater need for welfare
funds. due to a larger proportion of
elderly people. Cascade county has
peculiar problem also. Great Falls
is noted as ali excellent medical CEN
ter. Many older residents of less
adequately served communities and
areas move to Great Falls to receive
medical care.
Many of these people exhaust their
funds. In this time they have estab-
ished residence and are able to re-
ceive county aid.
1t is well known that many coun-
ties in central and northern Mon
tana have been contributing heav-
lily to the Cascade county welfare
load for years. Therefore it is only
proper that welfare funds from the
state should be used in a county
which bears the greater burden for
these areas.
Consideration of these factors
demonstrates the reason for the 1859
action in rejecting this
additional tax measure, as proposed
under lib 16.

The PUBS have sought to fill the
gap caused by the Eisenhower policy
of ''no new starts" of federal dams.
On their own initiative, the PUBS
have built or started three huge pow
er dams on the Columbia to meet
area needs. To this end, they have
floated revenue bonds which will be
repaid from the sale of power.
Fifteen PUBS have joined together
in the Washington Public Power Sup
ply System to save one of the last
remaining major multipurpose dam
sites on the Snake River where COP
policies resulted in defeat for a high
dam at Hells Canyon, which was
turned over to the Idaho Power Com
pany.
