agement and administration work with
the forest service in Oregon, northern
Idaho and eastern Montana. He en-
tered the State university of Montana
and received a degree in forestry ana
range management from that institu-
ton in 1923.
After serving in various capacities
on range management work in the ma
tional forests, Sandvig was appointed
assistant supervisor of the Custer ma
tional forest at Billings in December,
1925. and in November, 1884, was pro-
NOTED to supervisor Of the BeRverheao
forest at Dillon. His transfer TO the
regional office in September, 1885, was
in recognition of his progressive IDEAS
and constructive improvements in the
field of range management, according
to Major Kelley's announcement.
Former Assistant Regional Forester
Smith will assume his new duties IN

CHOICE OF POSTS
OFFERED BY ARMY

Word has just been received by Serg.
Charley r. Hill, army recruiting officer
for the north-central Montana area,
from Brigadier Gen. Joseph P. Tracy,
temporary commander OF the NINTH
corps area, that on Nov. 80, 1887, the
Ninth corps area was within 1887 men
of full authorized strength. on the
surface this seems to be way below
strength but it really means that the
army viii soon be up to strength and
restrictions will be placed upon enlist
Congress, in 1886, increased the
standing army from 10000 enlisted
men to 1855, 600. Since 1885 the recruit
ing personnel of the army have been
gradually building up the army to fun
strength with instructions to complete
the Job by June 80, 1888. The average
enliStmentS and re-enlistmentS in the
corps area are 1000 men per month.
The normal losses, due to discharges,
retirement and death, average 75O,
which means that the recruiting per-
sonnet viii have to curtail enlistmentS
by ESQ men per month in short time.
The recruiting service now offers a
wide choice of posts from which APP
plicants may choose to serve. A few
vacancies exist in each post but as q
post reaches full strength 1t will be re-
stricted to establishments only. See your
postmaster for the address of the near

with the cessation of dredging OPP
erations no large number OF layoffs
by the construction section mas peen
found necessary. This is largely because
careful and comprehensive advance
manning has resulted in a large amount
of work being laid out for the winter.
COMPLETION of this schedule will go lar
to minimize layOffs from present crews.
The policy Of deferring until winter
all work not necessary to summer OPP
erations was followed last year and
was successful in materially smoothing
out the peaks and valleys in the en-
ployment curve.
Winter Operations
One land car booster is TO pc moved
to the second BERN above the flood
main near the east abutment. This
will place it part way up the dam TO
give the final kick" to material going
into the top part Of the structure.
Another car booster will be placed
near the old tunnel warehouse north
OF the outlet portal channel. Pipe con-
nections will be made so that 1t can
be cut into either the Madison or Mis-
souri, lines. When cut into the manson
pipeline it will make six pumps In the
series to fill the very top Of the dam,
on the west side, the third car boost
er will remain where 1t is at present,
while its neighbor is to be moved west,
toward town. This fourth car booster
win be set at q point near the foot
of the bluff half way between the sub
station and observation circle on MIX

Most of the 1888 dredge material

give maximum efficiency in the ap-
plication of power to fiji material being
transported through the long pipe

bridges to carry railroad tracks over
the pipelines where they cross. Most Of
the pipe has already been unbolted anC
laid on the ground for inspection, CLASH
fication and repairs. WelderS have taker
the field and are working in portable
shelters putting patches on the pipe
and making it disable for another
season.
Since the four pump barges in the
corepool will operate adjacent to the
abutmentS, two disposal lines must be
side" into the lake. Two of these pump
bargeS were moved to the foot of the
east bluff before the corepool froze
last month.
When the car boosters and corepool
pump bargeS are set in new locations
their service water systems will have to
be relaid. They require clear water for
cooling and printing purposes.
Other crews viii be kept busy clear
ing and grubbing new borrow pit areas,
moving houses, getting poles and clear
ing timber in the reservoir area above
the dam. Some men are now working as
far up as Fifth point, above Lismas
ferry. Some timber will also be cut in
the Big Dry area.
The power section comes in for a
heavy list Of changes to be made to
power feeder lines to the dredgeS and
boosters. Proceeding in their customary
spirit Of service and cooperation, they
will have all the power supply facilities
ready for next seasons operations.
In the same spirit, the plant section
Is already hard at work on their sched-
ule of repairs to dredge pipe and fit
tings, pumps, inpellers, cutters, drag
line and shovel buckets and broken
tractor parts. Most items can be brought
to the shops but considerable work
win have to be done in the field, par
ticularly for floating pipelines now fast
in the ice. AS soon as the ice gets thick
enough, out the skilled welders will
go with their portable welding outfits,
their shelters and stoves and proceed
to make repairs to the pontoon pipe
lines where they are located.
Dredge crews have plenty to keep
them busy, after vacations, overhaul
ing all the machinery aboard the four
dredges and the four floating boosters.
Many smaller jobs will round out the
program, such as moving toolhouses,
dragging out steel girders from up

fill at east abutment (about $4,000 cubic
wards yet to move, building new pipe
line landings where floating lines Jump

If science paid as much attention Il
human hair as to the pelage OF an.
inalS, the first few rows at any musical
comedy might cease to resemble a sea
of billiard balls, according to q report
received recently by Assistant State
Game Warden Jack Carney.
Science delves into the problems OF
keeping animal hair luxurious, largely
for economic reasons. The careful study
of pelage helps produce bumper fur
crops of great value and human hair
has been practically a drug on the
market since the days when the In
dams were on the Warpath, according
to the American Wildlife institute re-
port.
An example Of the careful scientific
study OF animal hair is found at the
Storrs, Connecticut wildlife research
unit. the report said. This unit, one OF
nine similar research projects supported
bv the American Wildlife institute, Is
located at the Connecticut State col
lege. It is financed by the American
Wildlife institute, the United States
biological survey and the college itself.

besetting the cottontail rabbit. Pelts
are studied at all seasons of the year
to determine the effects of change Of

To arrive at exact conclusions IN this
respect it is necessary that the area
of moulting be accurately gagged. ms

After Lapse of 43

east of Bozeman, said recently on his
return from a visit to his brother. Carl
KnutSon, whom he had not seen nor
heard from in 43 years. The brother is
a mining expert in Douglas, Ariz.
The brothers last saw each other
when the Bozeman man, then % years
old. left Bozeman in 1894 for visit in
their native Sweden When he returned
to Bozeman six months later Carl,
then IS, had moved on westward. Later,
Otto learned in the past month, Carl
enlisted for service in the Philippine
islands during the Spanish american
war.
For years Otto had believed his
brother Carl dead. It was not until last
June when a letter came to Sheriff
Levitt I. WeStlake that the two brothers
were able to get in touch with each
