BERGESON NAMED HEAD RECLAMATION GROUP I tïltankaiphing 1949 MISSING MAN IS F O U N D IN WRECKED CAR Body of ,H: D. Steele Found Near Mine Home After Week’s Search 4 BAND ORGANIZED A pep band with a starting membership of 20 persons has been organized at Western Mon tana College of Education under the direction of Ralph McFadden and regular practices are being held. . It has been pointed out that there are from 15 to 20 home bas ketball games this season which w ill require enthusiastic school support and the good sized band w ill not only provide storing mu sic but add color as w e ll to the games. Following an extensive search of more than a week in which a ground posse and planes were en gaged, the body of H. D. Steele, a brother of William J. Steele of this city, was found last Thursday in his jeep which had gone off the highway on the road to the mine where he had been working for the past two summers. Mr. Steele, who had last been seen alive in Leadore, Idaho, on Nov. 9, was the object of a wide spread search following his dis appearance while on a hunting trip. The hunt was largely con fined to the Leadore and Salmon areas, however, and it was not until a party of mine workers from that district, who were in terested in properties of the Chi natown area where the victim was operating, were making a trip to that section, that they noticed where the jeep had left the road and found the body. Coroner Raymond Schwartz, who made an investigation, e s t i m a t e d that Steele had been dead about five days. Members of the discover ing party were Bill Purcell, Pat Adams and Martin Lindstrom. The car had apparently slid gen tly from the road, gone down an incline and dropped off into a gulley where placer mining oper ations had undermined a bank. It came to rest upright and the driver was slumped partly behind the wheel and partly out of the jeep. Death had been due to a heart attack while he was driv ing, it was concluded by the cor oner and others who made the in vestigation. In partnership with his brother of this city, Mr. Steele had been engaged for the past two sum mers in developing a valuable claim in the Chinatown district southeast of Bannack. He had made many friends here who were deeply shocked to learn of his passing. Born Sept. 28, 1898, at Hailey, Idaho, the deceased had followed mining for a number of years and during the last war was a super visor in the Kaiser steel mills in California. < • He is survived by his widow, Samantha, two sons, Charles and Herbert of Ontario, Calif., who were here to assist in the search for their father; and a daughter, Mrs. Bessie Bryant of Puenta, Calif.; another brother, Mark Steele of Hagerman, Idaho; three sisters, Mrs. Bessie Lipe of King Hill, Idaho; Mrs. Maude Martin of Newberg, Ore., and Mrs. Ralph Widderd of Anchorage, Alaska. There are also eight grandchil dren. The funeral was held Saturday afternoon from the Brundage chapel, rites of the Church of Lat ter Day Saints being conducted and interment was made in the cemetery at Mountain View. Pallbearers were Ed Hoerning, Robert Davis, H. M. Wagoner, Ray Hay, Fred Eudaily and Marshall Ramsey. FINE IS ASSESSED Laurin Peele o f American Falk, Idaho, pleaded guilty in the dis trict court Tuesday morning to a charge of carrying concealed weapons and was fined- $150 by Judge Lyman H. Bennett. In de fault of payment the defendant w ill be required to serve 75 days in the county jail. Peele was. arrested Nov. 16 at Armstead b y S h eriff P aul Temple, an automatic pistol being found on his person.

Returns From Bozeman Meet With Good News About Local Project TOM MALLOY OF MELROSE IS CLAIMED A sudden heart attack at his ranch last Thursday evening proved fatal to Thomas Malloy, 49, a well-known ranchman of that area, death coming before medical aid could be summoned. He had been a resident of Butte and Melrose for the past 32 years and had been stationed for 11 years at Melrose as a section em ployee for the Union Pacific rail road. Surviving relatives include hk wife, Violet; five children, a son- in-law and daughter, Mr. and Mrs. James Grose; two sons, Francis and Victor, all of Melrose; a son, Verlin, in the U. S. navy, and a son and daughter-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Thomas A Malloy of Ogden, Utah; three brothers, Charles and Sam Malloy of Butte and William of Arkansas, and three sisters.

The funeral was held Tuesday afternoon from the Brundage chapel, the Rev. Robert N. John stone of Grace Memorial Metho dist church officiating and inter ment was made in Mountain View cemetery, rites of the Masonic order being conducted at toe grave. O. A. Bergeson of thk city, who has taken a leading part in the activities of the Montana Recla mation association during recent years, and who was in attendance at the seventh annual meeting of the association held last week in Bozeman, was elected president of the organization at the final business session on Tuesday, suc ceeding George Ebner of Fair- field. In assuming his new duties, Mr. Bergeson returned to Dillon with a timely and interesting report from government documents on the Missouri Basin dam projects which includes the East Bench unit or Clark canyon dam south of Dillon which is now in the pre construction stage. As noted in the report for Re gion 6 from the Bureau of Recla mation of the United States, the East Bench unit swvew now sit uates the damsite at a point south of the original location, the axk being opposite.the mouth of Clark canyon due to faulty foundation in the original survey. Estimates reveal that the hill or butte just north of Armstead, adjoining Horse Prairie creek, would be come an island in the reservoir compounded by the dam. Quoting from the report: “The East Bench unit is near Dillon, Mont. The immediate drainage area is known as the Beaverhead river, a tributary of the Jefferson river. Preliminary studies show that by construction of toe pro posed Clark canyon dam and res ervoir, 25,060 acres of land could be furnkhed a full irrigation sup ply and 14,500 acres could, be fur nished supplemental irrigation water. “Detailed surveys and studies are under way to establkh a defi-. nite plan for thk unit which k being mapped and classified to determine suitability • for irriga tion. Existing water rights are being studied. Additional foun dation studies are being made and preliminary designs are being prepared for the dam and reser voir. Surveys and studies will be completed on this unit in the fk- cal year 1951, at which time the unit will be recommended for early construction if studies un der way so indicate.” In the Congressional Record of Oct. 5, 1949, the East Bench unit k in the Class B phase as being prepared for construction, being raised from Class C. The pro posed appropriation for such con- structidn is lkted at $236,000. Nov. 30 Final Date For Enrollment In Blue Cross - Shield The physicians of Beaverhead county announced today that the Blue Shield-Blue Cross enroll ment for the county has been pro ceeding very satisfactorily. Sev eral hundred persons have al ready been enrolled and many more are expected to do so be fore the individual enrollment closes November 30. After No vember 30, membership in this non-profit medical, surgical and hospital plan will be available only through some group that can be organized on a percentage basis. Many persons do not under stand why the enrollment cannot be open at all times. There are several reasons for this, one being that there is only one waiting pe riod in the plans, that being for maternity. Also, most conditions existing at the time of joining are covered. For these reasons and others it has been found that the enrollment periods must be lim ited, in order to keep the plans financially sound. Beaverhead county -will probably be re<?pened in November of 1950. Several places in the county have been accepting enrollment cards and will continue to do so until the end of the enrollment period. In Dillon people have been enrolling at the Andrus lob by; in Lima at the Lima Merc. Co.; in Armstead at the Post Of fice; in Wisdom at the Basin Mer cantile Co., and in Monida at the Post Office.
