ton of storage reservoirs.
"Third-That the way TO prevent floods
is to use these reservoirs TO eaten ana
temporarily hold the flood waters, SO
that they will not descend upon the
lower valleys in so large unit volume."
Withdraw Site From Entry
Some months after the Columbia river
board had reported TO the federal power
commission, the commissioner of the
general land office ordered the with
drawal of public lands in the Flathead
forest comprising the Hungry Horse basin
on the South fork river of the Flathead,
also the canyon of the North fork river
of the Flathead on the west side OF Gla-
cier National park. The foregoing report
and figures offered in this report by the
engineer in his reconnaissance shows the
Importance of the Hungry Horse as a
storage proposition.
The storage in Flathead lake, as shown
by the figures OF the annual run-off is
only / 600, 900 acre-feet, while that of the
Hungry Horse is 1000, 900 acre-feet. II
the Hungry Horse storage was built exces-
sive storage would not be necessary IN
Flathead lake. and 1t Is claimed by the
Kalispell interests that this storage would
afford sufficient water for the demands
made by the Rock Mountain Power COM
pany and by the Columbia Basin Irriga-
ton league.
Electric Power Requirements
The application of the Rocky Mountain
Power company provided sor a maximum
storage at an elevation OF 2.902, although
the proponents o fthis company claimed
hat probably not for years to come
would such excessive storage be used
but that a storage probably OF 1880 o.
ever lower would suffice. The chamber
~ ~~v,v,arca OF RotScnan whon nroccnr
for an answer as to what storage they
thought was permissible in Flathead lake
replied that from an examination OF The
elevation to which Flathead lake rose te
a number of years they were satisfied
that the elevation of 1880 would but
work an injury to the agricultural lands
atthe head of Flathead lake.
After his visit to the Hungry Horse
canyon, Congressman Leavttt spoke at {
Joint meeting of the Kalispell Chamber
of Commerce, the Kiwanis and Rotary
clubs and the Flathead farm bureau. Hi
address was strongly in favor OF thu
Hungry Horse development, believing
tina it would solve the problem OF ex
cessive storage in Flathead lake, aid II
flood control an do.fer power and irri
cation to the farmers Of Flathead valley
He likewise argued strongly for the allo'
cation Of the waters by agreement be
tween states.

Mr.. Fitz Gerald was born in Canada

coming to Anaconda from New York to
act as chief accountant at the smelter

sition he held until the COS, when he

Fitz Gerald went to New York. where he
spent some six years in business. He
then returned to Butte to accept the po-
sition Of vice president and cashier OF the
Silver Bow National bank under the
presidency of John MacGinniss, former
