PLAN PULP MILL
ON FLATHEAD LAKE

The Glacier Pulp and Paper COM
pany of Minneapolis, will commence
the construction of pulp mill at
Zig Fork, or some point on the north
shore of Flathead lake, in the near
future, providing arrangements now
under way for the purchase OF suf-
ficient supply of lumber suitable for
pulp are completed.
W. B. Snow, representing the Min
NCapolis concern, conferred with the
officials of district No. of the forest
service in regard to the pulp timber
situation. Mr.. Snow, who has been
here several times on like missions,
returned to Big Fork without announ-
cing any definite decision in the mat
t<sf.
The Glacier Pulp and Paper COM
pany has planned the erection of a
nil in the Flathead region, which is
especially rich in pulp timber, for
several months. Just what the plans
cf the company are is unknown, but
it seems certain that a plant will be
established.
The forest service has completed a
Timber survey of the Canyon creek
district in the Blackfoot forest, and it
is estimated that this unit alone con-
Gains enough pulp timber to supply a
mill of the capacity contempt ated by
the company for at least 10 years or
longer. The unit includes 1920 900
feet of timber with the exception of
II 100000 feet of white pine and H.
100000 feet of larch and fir, all of
this timber is suitable for pulp. 1t
is estimated that there is four times
that much pulp timber in the Big
Fork district, while other units of
the national forests in Northern Mon
tAna are equally rich in this kind Of

KEEP FARM MACHIN-
ERY EFFICIENT

Farm machinery is difficult to OBJ
tain Manufacturers of farm machln-
cry are having difficulty in securing
raw materials. AS long as the war
l.,.s this condition will continue and
probably grow worse. On some farms
machinery is actually worn out,
w1ile on others it rusts out. On many
large farms machinery is discarded
aiter minor parts are worn so that
tho machine will not do good work,
W Dereas, by replacing the worn parts,
it might still be used for a long time.
Before discarding a machine 1t
would be we'll to have it OVerhauled
BIZ d competent mechanic ii the own
ar cannot do it. As long as an old
machine can be kept in god working
condition it should be used, but it is
ryDr economic policy to try to use
o9e that cannot be kept in good run
niNg condition, as the poor work re-
sQI-ing and the time lost will more
than counterbalance the saving
~ ahe.
Some factors tending to prolonS the
life of farm machinery are thorough
-o.}ing, proper adjustment, protection
from the weathering by paint and
sselter, keeping in good repair, clean
illness and sharpness Of cutting edges.

S275, 900 DIVIDED
AMONG FLATHEADS

Between 2,3OO and $500 Indians of
the Flathead tribe are receiving
checks from the government covering
their quota of the surplus funds in
the treasury of the department OF
Indian affairs. 1t is estimated that
the government is distributing among
the Flathead tribesmen a total in
the neighborhood of $275,00O. The
pro rata allotment of each Indian Of
the tribe is about 5000. The Fort
Peck Indians were given their share
of the surplus cash few months ago
and on the occasion special agents OF
the government were on hand to see
that the Law against bootlegging was
enforced

the Jocko bridge were too close to-
a narrow channel and resulted in the
water backing up on the flat. Recent
work at this point has Widcned the
channel and remedied the condition.
The concrete piers for this bridge
are now in position and the material
for building the span, which is to
be of steel, was unloaded on Monday.
Piles for the construction Of the
Mission creek bridge have been
also being rushed.
The contract for the laying of the
steel has been let to Roberts Bros, of
Chicago, and this firm is already un

paratory to beginning work at the

VOTE FOR WATER AND ELECTRIC LIGHTS
SELECT|vE DRAFT
TO START IN JULY

Montana is one of the "a states in
have ben completed. 1t is believed
the work will be started early in
July, perhaps before the 10th. The
same officials that handled the reg
istration for the selective conscrip-
tion in the counties of the state
have been designated by Governor S.
boards. The boards will be in charge
of the drawing of the names of
those who will be drafted and will
also pass upon all exemption claims.
Appeals from the county boards
can be carried to the board of ap
peals, consisting of five members,
there being a separate board for
each federal judicial district in the
state. In Montana the districts cor
respond to the state boundaries. The
manner in which the appeal board
will be selected has not yet been
determined. 1t may be named by the
president direct or the governor may
be asked to appoint it.
In Butte there will be an eXemp-
ton board distinct from that acting
for Silver Bow county, the regula'
tions providing for such separate
board for all cities in excess of
10000. In Butte the board will con-
sst of the mayor, the city clerk and
the city physician.

RED CROSS
WEEK ENDED

Roman responded to the call made
upon it by the Red Cross war council
with donation of $365.75, which
sum was secured with very little
effort on the part of the soliciting
teams appointed by Lloyd I. Wallace,
chairman of the local committee,
during the last three afternoons Of
the Red Cross Week. Those who
were active in this work were Mrs.
II. O. Worden. Mrs. j. /. Carr. Mrs.
Curtis Jeffries, Mrs. H. y. Stans-
bury, Mrs. H. NJ. Putney and Miss
Olive Townsend. Stanley Scearce
of $50, followed by the First Ma
tional Bank with $25, Roman State
Bank $25, Reservation Land and
Lumber Co. SIS. A. M. Sterling Co.
SIS, John p. Swee SIS. Lemire Bros.
$40. and f. j. White $40. There were
many donations of so cents to $500
but the lack of space this week will
not permit us to publish the full
list.
While Roman and the country di-
rectly tributary was asked to raise
$4,000 of Missoula county's quota
of $20,O00.OO, an extensive campaign
was not made, owing to the fact
that the seriousness of the grass
hopper situation has made it neces-
sary for practically every farmer
and business man to contribute large
amounts to that fund and the general
opinion is that the raising of crop
this year is a partial share of our
obligations to the cause. Therefore,.
the soliciting committee proceeded
with the idea in mind "that charity
begins at home," with the result
that more than one half of the sum
asked for has been turned in to
Chairman F. A. SilcoX of Missoula.
!, Chairman Silcox reports the COL
lection of $14.5OO late Tuesday night
but expects delayed contributions TO
bring the total up to $4,000. How
ever, the county is still short $4,000
and according to Mr.. Silcox, the lack
of large single donations was re-
sponsible for Missoula county's fail
ure to meet her allotment. Gener-
ally the people responded we'll to
the appeal but there were but few
big gifts. Hundreds of men, women
and children with moderote and even
poor incomes gave what they could.
but the wealthy givers were few.
Montana's quota was 100000 and
on the last-lay of the campaign the
subscriptions totaled 579,762.OO
with pledges still pouring in. Tabu-
lat ions at the Red Cross headquar-
ters at Washington Indicate that. the
campaign passed its mark with
total of $lO1 100000 and returns
still coming in. The Red Cross war
council predict a total of at least
$40, 900 900.
