WATER FROM DRY HOLES"
Senator Metcaf has joined Senator
Hickey of Wyoming in introducing
legislation to provide for production
of underground water on public lands.
Each year, thousands of oil and gas
wells are drilled on public lands.
Most are "dry holes"-not oil or gas
many are capable of
water but aren't, because
the financing and administration of
potential water wells have been lack
ing. This bill would authorize nego-
tiations between the oil operator and
surface owner, if the latter wanted
to buy the casing needed to produce
water, and would also authorize the
Secretary of Interior to buy such
as necessary and contract
for sale of water, at rates calculated
to cover costs.

himself to the Board to explain why

an ill-considered action.
Even Governor Don Nutter joined
Attorney General Forrest Anderson
and Murray in directing the institu-
ton officials to stop intimidating
their employees.
The meetings of the Restaurant
Employees Union and the State,
County and Municipal Workers have
been sabotaged by the rumors that
anyone attending would be fired from
the institutions.
Murray and Anderson were fur
ious that this condition had been
created. These 'spowderkeg" situa-
tions destroy years of hard work
and can have disastrous effects on
harmonious relations within the in
situations.
The $65O,O0O residue from the
sale of the Korean Bonus bond sale
which 1861 House resolution di-
rected to be placed in the general
fund was discussed by the Board with
bonus director Charles Rigler.
Rigler was told to disregard the
resolution which has no effect in
law and to use the money to retire
bonds which are being paid for by the
cigarette tax. This would cut the tax
off at an earlier date.
Attorney General Anderson said
that this was the only proper pro-
cedure which has been indicated by
Supreme Court decisions.
The Korean Bonus is being cut off
July 20. Applications postmarked
later than July 27 will not be ac-
cepted.
The resolution was the only thing
left of the Republican attempt to
loot trust funds for the Nutter adj
ministration.

BY VIC REINEMER, Exec

WASHINGTON, D. c. Eight
years ago, livestock men came to
Washington to seek help to offset
basic herd losses caused by prolonged
drought and unstable prices. Conse-
quently Congress authorized the Spec
ial Livestock Program, administered
by Farmers Home Administration.
Stockmen became eligible for per
cent loans for operating capital and
purchase of replacement livestock.
Since then 500 million has been
loaned to 1890 stockmen, including
$6,630,237 to 158 Montana stock
men. More than 80 per cent of the
loans have already been repaid, with
in the three-year period, plus inter-
est. Montana repayment rate is 96.6
per cent.
The program is scheduled to expire
in July. Senator Metcalf is co-spon-
soring legislation to extend it. Sub
normal precipitation, imports of
sheep and cattle and rising costs
without corresponding increase in in
come have caused serious credit
situation, Metcalf said. The pro-
gram will not require an appropria-
ton, since the Secretary of Agricul-
ture has the authority to use an
emergency revolving fund for SIP
loans.
REQUEST MODERNIZATION OF
ENNIS FISH HATCHERY
Senators Mansfield and Metcalf
have again asked for funds to pro-
vide new facilities and modernization
of fish hatcheries in Montana. In a
letter addressed to the chairman of
the Senate Committee on Appropria-
tions. the Montana Senators asked
that department witnesses be ques-
toned about the improvements that
are needed at the Ennis National
Fish Hatchery.
Senator Mansfield was instrument
al in getting the Senate to provide
modernization funds for the Creston
hatchery in the last Congress. Now
that this work is nearly completed
he feels attention should be given
to the Ennis hatchery. The Senators
pointed out that Sin recent years there
has been a tremendous build-up of
sport fishing in western Montana
and especially in the areas served by
he Ennis hatchery. This is the area
adjacent to Yellowstone Park, the
earthquake area which has drawn
10 much tourist attention and the site
# Madison River, nationally known
or it's fishing"

HUNTLEY PROJECT
BILL INTRODUCED

One of the oldest reclamation de-
velopments is the Huntley project
in southeastern Montana. Authorized
in 1905, it included 27,127 irrigable
acres, and 60 per cent of the net
project cost of almost So million has
already been repaid.
Recent land Redistribution by the
Bureau of Reclamation and the dis
trict's board of commissioners showed
that about 10000 acres should be
reclassified and that payments by
water users should be equalized. Last
week, at the Department of Interiors
request, Senators Mansfield and Met
calf introduced legislation to approve
the new contract covering reclassifi-
cation and payment, which has been
by the Bureau and the
Huntley Project Irrigation District.
