Other improvements in control meth
DDS, equipment and organization re-
suited from specialized studies based on
past experience. The number of big fires
causing great material damage and re-
curing weeks and months to extinguish
is decreasing. AS compared to the an
nual average of ga percent for the past
10 years. only 2.7 percent of all fires
fought during the 1887 season reached
proportions Of more than 10 acres in
size, or only 40 out of 1888.
The total number of fires suppressed
by foresterS in 1887 was 1888. The 1887
season was much longer than usual,
extending from an early dry spring to
a prolonged dry fall. Hunter fires broke
out early in November. Lightning fires
occurred late in September.
The report shows that the cost of
fighting the average fire during the
1887 season was $171 go. This is 1920
less than the 1886 figure and 1894 be-
low the 10-year average. The largest
and most expensive fire of the year was
man-cauSed, and 1893 O &c percent of
the total number of fires was attrib-
uted to human carelessness.

PECK DAM
HAS GOOD YEAR
FAVORABLE CONDITIONS MAKE
POSSIBLE COMPLETION OF
USEFUL WORK

All Fort Peck is thankful for the
favorable conditions which have
= made 1t possible to accomplish a
vast amount of useful work during
the 1887 construction season. Most
important among these accomplish
ments, Of course, was the compile
ton of the four control tunnels on
the eve of diversion of the river
through them and closure of the
center section of the dam.
Then followed completion of the
mile-long concrete lining for the spill
way channel by the Massman Con-
Struct1on company.
Soon after that the elaborate con-
crete structure at the entrance to the
spillWay vas finished by the Addison
Miller and Fielding & Shepley company
except for minor items of painting and
adjusting.
placed in the dam between April 4th
and Nov. 18th. Fill is going into the
dam from two dredges, at the present
time, with final shutdown for the
season not yet in sight. Dredge Jeffer-
son was stopped for the winter on
Nov. 18th, followed by the Missouri on
the 21st. Dredges Gallatin and Madison
and the downstream buttress berms
which are being placed to reinforce
the toes of the closure section of the
dam.
Government quarrying operations at
Snake Butte, near Harlem, were sus-
pended for the winter, Friday, Nov.
10Th and the last trainload shipped on
that date has been received and placed
at the dam. Starting with the first
trainload on July Goth, a total of $3.50
carloads, carrying 79,250 net tons (32,613
solid cubic yards of stone) were shipped
from the quarry.
Added to this, is the 1O6,626 cubic
yards of glacial boulders Gield stone)
placed on the dam this summer and the
6 ,009 cubic yards of coarse gravel
received from Cole.
A favorable aspect of the weather
this fall is that the cold came on
gradually and not of a sudden as was
the case in prior years. A temperature
of zero, recorded at Fort Peck last
week, caused temporary difficulties on
the fill areas. Three dredges stood by
ready to esum pumping on the nee
essary task of raising the upstream

FIRE PROTECTION
COST DECREASED
TAXPAYERS PAY NEARLY HALF
MILLION DOLLARS LESS FOR
FOREST AREAS
Funds Appropriated for Suppression of
Fires in II Forests Amounted to
S264,O14, or $435,413 Less Than Az
erage Annual Cost for Last 10 Years.

Taxpayers paid nearly half a
million dollars less this year toward
the annual cost of fire protection
in national forests of the northern
region, according to statistics re-
ceived by the Deer Lodge national
forest supervisor from regional
headquarters in MisSOula. Damage
was reduced in values of timber,
scenic and watershed proportions.
Statistics released by the United
States forestry service show that ex-
penditures of funds appropriated for
fire suppression on the II forests in
the region amounted to $264,O14 for
the past season. This is $435,413 less
than the average annual cost for the
past 10 years. A total of 3,437 acres was
burned inside the forests at an esti-
mated loss of $3,416 to natural re-
sources. This compared to the 10-year
average loss of 1892 acres and an
average damage in dollars and cents of
$S87,32

FAMOUS AUTO MANUFACTURERS
REFERRED TO "KID" DAYS
LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR
Hugh Adair, in His Youth Was Tough"
| Kid, According to Auto Magnate;
Montana Official Was Member of

Who would believe that Hugh
Adair, nationally Known attorney
and lieutenant governor of Mon

a tough kid?" And furthermore,
could it be possible there are those

of those charivaris where the young

Such, it seems, is the truth, accord

p. Chrysler,. who started out as a
boomer mechanic and at present is

And here's how the story about Hugh
became known:
The Saturday Evening Post recently
carried a series of articles pOrtraying
Mr.. Chrysler's career.
In one installment, the auto magante
told how when he and his wife became
one in his home town, Ellis, Kan, they
Wsrestormented most Of the night by a
the newly weds time and time again,
causing an alarming s%hrinkage in the
none-too-abundant capital of the then
mechanic.
Reading the story, MIR. Adair recalled
his boyhood days-Saw the bakery at
Ellis run by his grandmother, Mrs.
Susan Keyser-remembered a fellow
who worked there at odd times, a fellow
named Walter Chrysler. Then he re-
membered the night Mr. Chrysler mar
ried Della Folker. He also remembered
the serenading.
Sent Note to Walter
Some time later Mr.. Adair met a
Mr.. Harrigan, in charge of a motor
our sponsored by the Texaco
company. It developed that Mr.. Har-
he took one of Hugh's cards with him.
On the back of the card Hugh had
written: II notice you didn't mention

you really think WI were tough kids?"
