Operation Taken Over.
It was late In February, 1884, that
the Government summarily took over
the operation of all the airmail service.
This action was the climax Of con-
troversy ranging back four years and
occurred one year after Senator Blacks

of the McNary-Watres act of 1880.

During the war and up to 1925, the
Government maintained its own air.
mail service. In that year, Congress,
desiring to foster commercial aviation,
turned the routes over to private COM
panies, but with no provision for sub
sides. Rates were allowed in mall
carrying contracts which. it was be-
lieved, would make the lines self
supporting.
The contracts ran for only four years
and were to be awarded on the basis
of competitive bids. Companies COM
planned that the huge outlay necessary
to enable them to enter competitive
bidding required gamble which made
the competition an unsound business
venture. They received sympathetic
attention in Congress and the McNary-
Watres bill was the result, finally
written in the Office of Postmaster
General Walter Brown.
Opponents of the measure cited a
"joker," empowering the Postmaster
General to award contracts at his dis
cretion, without soliciting competitive
bids. When contracts were advertised,

Some administration leaders were
hopeful of avoiding any new taxes,

FILA LOANS CONTINUED
FOR ANOTHER YEAR

HELENA, April I3 - Continuation
for another year of the temporary plan
of modernization credit under which
loans are insurable by the Federal
Housing Administration for financing
repairs or improvement to homes. bust
ness and industrial structures, has been
assured through the passage by the
Senate and House of Representatives
OF bill with that purpose, according to
Geographic advices from Washington
received Saturday by Barclay Craig
head, state director Of the Federal
Housing Administration.
Under the provisions Of the National
Housing Act that feature of the law
authorizing the insuring of loans made
by banks and finance companies for the
repair or undermining of privately
owned properties, would have expired
March 81, 1886, but, because of the far
reaching results attained in the past
year and the general demand for its
retention the congress has looked with
favor upon continuance.
Up to March Is, the Federal Housing
Administration had insured throughout
the nation 1888 notes representing
$311, 1851 in loans made by lending
agencies for repairs and modernization
While the complete text of the bill
extending the life Of this plan of financ-
ing has not been sent out it is the
understanding of Mr. Craighead that
it closely follows the original act, with
possibly some slight notifications.

ton there were numerous cases Of
fraternal service and benevolent work
that could not be valued in dollars
and cents.
Camps located in 40 states par
ticipated in the survey, their reports

ROVER AND RED FOX
ARE MUCH ALIKE

huge primitive area in the F1athead
national forest. 1t all goes to show that
Rover and Red Fox are not SO different
under the skin when they are hungry
Casey Streed and Joe Dzivi, game
patrolmen, were compelled to remain
in camp one day recently when rain
made snowshoe travel impossible. Their
morning meal consisted of hotcakes,
some of which were left over and were
tossed in garbage pail just outside the
cabin
A little later, Streeds attention was
attracted by a noise outside, and he
looked out just in time to see red fox
heading for cover in the woods at the
edge Of the clearing, with all the hot
cakes he could carry. In his flight he
dropped couple.
Casey wondering If the fox would
return. stationed himself with a camera
not more than 20 feet from the hot
cakes. He waited Soon the fox ap-
peared at the edge of the clearing. 1t
circled cautiously, ever drawing closer
to the coveted hotcakes 1t tented sew
eral times, oblivious apparently to the
click Of the camera. It growled. Then
suddenly the fox dashed in, grabbed
hotcake and fled.
Streed and Dzivi are engaged in
survey of game conditions in the South
Fork of the F1athead as part of Region
Ones effort to learn the numbers of
game, where they winter, the avail
ability of winter range, and the drain
upon game herds resulting from starva-
ton, disease, accident, parasites, and
the kill by man and predatory animals.
The information thus gained is ex-
pected to permit scientific solution of
the problems of wildlife management
based upon the biological and physical
factors which govern Wild animals
