Many Visitors View
B - D Doll Hospital
Over Easter Holiday
The 1950 opening of the newly
enlarged B-D doll hospital and
about three miles east of
museum
Laurel was held Easter Sunday
with 214 visitors attending during
the day. Ten states were repre
sented as well as Canada and one
car load of visitors were from as
far as Florida.
Mr. and Mrs. H. B. Bearden,
who operate the museum, came
Kere from Spokane. In looking for
a new location, they were favor
ably impressed with the Yellow
stone valley and are elated that
they settled here. They opened
their present place of business
about a year ago but found that it
too small to accommodate the
displays and the visitors. With the j
larger space now completed, club
groups may visit at any time dur
ing the day without making reser
vations.
Mrs. Bearden, who has been col
lecting dolls for over 20 years, be

REDUCE R.E.A. RATE
Petition Is Filed With Hoard
On Wednesday—New Kate
Effective Immediately
Helena, April 12.—A new rate
schedule, which will reduce the av
erage cost of electric power to
HE A co-operatives served by the
Montana Power company from 8
mills to 5.5 mills per kilowatt hour,
was filed with the state public
service commission Wednesday by
the company.
The new rate will save the REA
involved
approxi
co-operacives
mately $136,000 a year, or an aver
age oi 37 per cent of their present
bill.
Application for the rate reduc
tion was presented to the commis
sioners by J. E. Corette, Jr., vice
president and assistant general
manager of the company. The new
rate becomes effective immedi
ately.
"This rate, which is identical to
the rate charged by the bureau of
reclamation for Missouri river ba
sin power, has been adopted by the
Montana Power company in line
with its policy of doing everything
it can to aid the development of
the state," Mr. Corette said. "We
want to encourage and contribute
to the extension of electric service
to as many rural areas as possible,
thus helping to develop those areas
and business in general throughout
Montana.
"The rate also will make avail
able to ail REA co-operatives in
the company's territory the same
opportunity for rural load building
as is available to eastern Montana
co-operatives served directly by the
bureau of reclamation. It will make
available to all these co-operatives
power at the bureau's rate without
the spending of any taxpayers'
money for the building of trans
mission lines. The rate also will
save the rural co-operatives the
additional cost of building their
own transmission systems."
Mr. Corette pointed out that un
der the new rate, many REA co
operatives will be able to extend
service to farms and ranches which
now are not served.
The new rate, which will bene
fit 12 REA co-operatives with 37
delivery points east of the conti
nental divide, is the lowest rate
charged REA co-operatives by any
taxpaying utility company in the
west. It equals the lowest rate
charged by the western states, apd
is 1.58 mills below the average
bureau rate for those states.
"The Montana Power company

stockholders, of which 10,000 or
more than one-third are residents

of Montana, 1
ed. "This rate reduction is a dem
onstration of this company's con
fidence in and desire to build a
greater Montana."
