R0OPS COMING TO HELP

Congressman Carl Riddick Sends

to assurances given to Congressman

ment at Washington and wired here
by Mr.. Riddick. The men will be di.
vided between Helena. Missoula and
Kalispell, Mr.. Riddick was told.
Forest service officials at Missoula
had telegraphed to Washington saying
the fire situation was exceedingly
critical and that 1000 troops were
needed. A request for two airplanes
for scout duty in locating fires also
was made.
When the forest fires reached the
first critical stage in the latter part
of July. Gov. s. V. Stewart wired the
federal authorities to know If troops
were available for use as fire fighters
At that time he was told they were
not. The state council of defense, OF
which the governor is chairman, sent
message asking for troops, and
when the legislature met in special
session July %, memorials were Sent
to the war department begging tina,
the men be sent.
In response to the legislatures ap
peal, the war department wiret

pick up fires quickly by the rising

For precise location the system in use
depends on triangulation through re-
ports teIephoned from separate obser-
walton points. Airplancs. however, can
use wireless. or even the new wireless
telephone, and they can locate fires by
coordinates in the same way that gun

Experiments made in bombing fires
to put them out show the possibilities
In this direction. Bombs charged with

POWER PLANT
HAS NEW SUI
PERINTENDENT

Mr.. Will Rucker, of Gleason, sue
ceeds the late Harry Chandler as
superintendent Of the Dresden Wa
ter and Light Plant.
Mr.. Rucker was employed by the
water and light committee on last
Saturday, and has already entered
upon the discharge of his duties.
Until he becomes thoroughly famil-
lar with his new surroundings, the
public is asked to be patient. Mr..
Rucker comes to us bearing splen-
did recommendations from some of
the best citizens of Gleason, both as
to his qualifications and as a good
citizen. He will move his family to
Dresden just as soon as he is able
to find vacant house.
Dresden users of both water and
light, and especially the water and
light committee, feel deeply indebted
to Mr.. Shannon, who came over from
Sharon and kept the plant going. He
will always find cordial welcome
in Dresden.

MANY INTERESTING
SOLDIERS

During the past three weeks the
Enterprise has received a large num-
Der Of very interesting soldiers let
tiers which are placed on file and
will be printed as rapidly as space
and time admit.
Missing one issue and being crow
ded with Christmas advertising the
last two issues in the old year, plac-
ed us behind with the publication Of
these messages from our heroes
across the sea, but we are making a
special effort to catch up. How
ever, the large number received dur
ing the last three weeks places us
way behind, and we ask the indul-
gence Of our friends.
These letters contain much inter-
esting reading matter, and our sol
diers' letter page is about the most
eagerly read page of the paper, and
we feel deeply indebted to these
young men and their parents for the
kindness in sending these letters.
However, some Of those sent in are
merely family letters and contain
nothing of interest to the public,
and are, therefore, burden to the
newspaper and the public TO set
and print them. A letter without
something of interest relative to
France or army life is OF no inter-
est to the public, and where written
simply to the family as a message of
love from the far-away boy has no
business in print.
Be patient, please; we are printing
the letters as rapidly as possible.

the entire community extends SYM
