Resettlement Activities to
Continue in the West
Denver, June 3 —Resettlement Ad
ministration activities in the west will
continue without change.
Elmer A. Starch, Resettlement Di
rector for Colorado, Montana and Wy
oming gave that assurance upon his re
turn from conferences with administra
tion officials in Washington, D. C.
“It should be understood,” Starch
said, “that the recent decision of the
United States Court of Appeals for the
District of Columbia in connection with
the Bound Brook, New Jersey, subur
ban resettlement project is limited to
that particular undertaking. Until there
is a final judicial determination by the
Supreme Court of the United States,
the Resettlement Administration will
proceed with its other suburban reset
tlement projects.”
When questioned, Starch referred to
the decision to Show that various other
activities of the Resettlement Adminis
tration were not affected by the
Court’s ruling.
There are no suburban resettlement
projects in the west.
Four suburban resettlement projects
were initiated by the Resettlement Ad
ministration to provide low-cost hous
ing in rural areas adjacent to Washing
ton, D. C.; Milwaukee, Wisconsin;
Cincinnati, Ohio; and the metropolitan
area of New York City. The latter was
the one affected by the Appelate Court
decision.

Special Farm Loan
Conference Called June 24
All national farm loan association
members of Blaine, Hill and Liberty

fieldman for the Land bank in this ter
ritory, who is making the local arrange

NFLA voting capital stock and who
thereby have an indirect ownership in
terest in the Land bank of Spokane,”
|Mr. Connolly points out.
i “The purpose is to give local stock
holding member-borrowers a full ex
planation of the program for decentral
izing the district Land bank’s oper
ations, rebuilding this cooperative
mortgage system around the local as
sociations and revitalizing the principle
■of farmer ownership and farmer con-
Itrol.
“Officials of the bank will be pre
sent to discuss this program fully and
[give members complete information
.about current operations. It is hoped
[that all members will attend and take
an active part in the meeting, because
this is a splendid opportunity to get
questions answered and develop a bond
of better understanding between the
local associations and the district bank.
A good part of the session will be de
voted to informal round-table discus
sion.”

^credit division of the farm credit ad
[ ministrat ion wrll also be present to ex

Make Work Sheets for
Soil Conservation Program
l During the past week many farmers
land stockmen of the county completed
(their work sheets on the Soil Conserva-
Ition Program.
I Several operators who were of the
opinion that it would be impossible for
thorn to comply with the regulations
found that there 1936 operations coin
cided with the present program to the
extent that they would qualify for at
least the soil building payment.
A defiinte deadline date has not yet
been set for the filing of work sheets,
the county committee recommends that
all farmers and stockmen who are in
terested in a farm program complete
their work sheets as soon as possible.
Changes may be made in the regula
tions in the future which may make it
possible for operators to comply, even
though the present regulations are such
that it is impossible for them to qual
ify.
Work sheets may be made out at the
County Agent’s Office up to the time
the closing date is set Iby the State
Board.
Nagle Accepts Office With
Council State Governments
Helena, June 2 — (UJ?> — Montana’s
illicit gamblers and drink emporium
operators breathed a sigh of relief this
week when they learned that Raymond
T. Nagle, state attorney who has bat
tled them for a year and a half, was
not going to seek re-election in Nov
ember.
Nagle anounced that he had accept
ed an office with the Council of State
Governments in Chicago, effective
when present term as Attorney General
is completed in January.
Nagle had previously announced he
would run for re-election, but had never
filed his intentions with the secretary
of state.
He anounced that he would, however
continue his relentless campaign against
illegal gambling and drinking during
the remainder of hie term.
The Council of State Governments
is the outgrowth of a movement start
ed in 1932 by Woolcott Toll, Colorado
legislator, who is now executive di
rector.
Red Cross Nurse Highly Honored
State GOP Delegation to_
Convention, Uninstructed
Helena, June 4 — MU!) — .Montana ’»
delegation of eight votes to the Repub
lican National Convention will be small
compared to thobc of more populous
stales, but the Montana voice will be
as loud as any when it comes to select
ing a party platform at the Cleveland
convention June 9.
The eight delegates —eacDi with one
vote —will arrive in the Ohio city un
instructed as to how they shall vote
when it comes time to name from the
many candidates the one who will carry
the G. O. P. banner against the New
Deal in the Novemlber election.
But, every member of the delegation
has definite ideas as to what he wants,
ami what the Montana Republicans
wihom he represents want; and pros
pects are that he is going to yell pretty
loudly unless he gets it.
Drafting of a party platform prob
ably is the most important business
from the Montana viewpoint. It is Ihj
ing more and more generally conceded
that Gov. Alf. M. Landon of Kansas is
slated for the presidential nomination,
01^ there is likely to be a battle dur
ing construction of a weather-proof
platform.
The Montana group has two planks
which it considers highly important,
and for which it is ready to buttle any
and all opposition. They are:
I—A plank definitely favoring wa
ter conservation and the development
of flood control irrigation in the west
for the production of forage crops for
; livestock.
2—A plank promising and demand
ing reasonable duties on livestock and
agricultural imports.
In a letter to the United Press,
Joseph D. Scanlon, publisher of the
Miles City .Star and National Commit
teeman, declared ‘‘ we will oppose uuy
agitation against such a program and
we will be very much on tho alert to
see that such planks are included in
tlie platform.”
Considerable support for these two
planks is expected from other western
[states. Water conservation, flood con
[trol and irrigation have long been dear
[to the westerner’s heart, and nearly
every western state has prepared an
ambitious program for which it will
[demand support.
The demand for reasonable duties on
livestock and agricultural products
likewise will be supported wholeheart
edly in the west and north. It is a direct
blow at the New Deal’s reciprocity
treaties, particularly that with Canada
which has allowed Canadian goods to
pour over the borders during recent
months. The situation is particularly
distasteful because Canaria and the
border states are in competition with
the same products.
ticanlon is not a member of the Mon
tana delegation and will not have a
vote at the convention. But because of
his position as National Committeeman
and because of his prominence in the
party and in Montana generally, un
doubtedly will have considerable to
say in deciding how Montana shall
vote.
Hcanlon left for Cleveland last Sun
day morning (May 31) to complete all
arrangements for taking care of the
Treasure State delegation.
The delegation will leave this week
and will join the Minnesota delegation
on its special train out of Minneapolis
on June 7, Scanlon said. On this train,
scheduled to leave Minneapolis at 2:30
p. m. probably will be also delegates
from North and South Dakota.
Arriving in Cleveland, the Montanans
will go immediately to the Hotel Sterl
ing, where the state headquarters has
already been reserved. A chairman will
be elected after the delegation’s ar
rival. He will have active charge of the
eight delegates.
Tourist Information for
Fort Peck Visitors
Fort Peek, June 3—KIT.RI—A tourist
infomation booth has been opened
here for the benefit of those wishing to
view operations on the gigantic Fort
Peek dam. On the first day, 63 cars
carrying 203 passengers appeared. They
represented eight states and 11 rars
were from Canada.
j Local Hospital Plans
to Re-Open This Summer
Dr. Carl Eckhardt of Minneapolis,
where he is connected with the Now
Asbury Hosiptal, spent Saturday in
Harlem looking over the country and
the business situation, with view to
forming a partnership with Dr. W. N.
Deatherage for a general practice of
medicine and surgery. The hospital
which has been closed for sometime,
will re open with the enlarged staff of
a resident surgeon and three graduate
nurses employed, according to present
plans announced today by Dr. Death
erage.
The building is to be remodeled and
newly decorated. A now X-ray and ster
ilizer and other up-to-date equipment
for both medical and surgical work,
will bo installed and the entire building
arranged for the care of patients. The
Deatherage family who have resided at
the hospital since its erection, will move
to other quarters in order that ample
space be provided for the accomodation
of patients.
It is the plan to open the hospital as
soon as the new equipment can bo se
cured and the building put in condition
and it is predicted that Harlem will bo
able to compete with any town of the
section in the medical and surgical
treatment offered its residents.
