Long says it is doubtful if he will

Allowed to
Snog Salmon in
FIotheod Lake

In note to this newspaper, Depu-
ty Game Warden Darlington says
that as there is an increasing num-
Der of Lincoln county people each
year who avail themselves of the
opportunity of getting their win
ter's supply of canned salmon from
Flathead lake. he believes the at
tached clipping from the Muscular
would be of interest. The clipping
reads.
POISON, Oct. 16.-Curtis Lind
say, acting game warden for Lake
county, received notice the latter
part of this week from the state fish
and game commission, that they had
decided at a special meeting to al
low the snagging of sockeye salmon
in Flathead lake.
They have also set limit of so
pounds of salmon per day per person
or per license.
Otherwise the regulations govern
ing salmon fishing are the same as
those governing other fishing, with
hours for fishing from sun up until
sun down.
Anyone fishing for salmon must
have license.
Several hundred people each year
take advantage of the salmon fish
ing in Flathead lake during the
spawning season when the fish
come in from the deep water to the
spawning beds along the lake shores.
Two Of the most popular fishing
points ON the east shore are at
Woods bay and Skidoo bay and dur
ing the entire run, lasting about a
month, numerous fishermen and
women dot the shores of the lake.
A number of out-of-country and
out-of-state residents are taken into
custody each season by the game
warden for fishing without licenses,
thinking that it was not necessary to
have license to fish for salmon
This idea is erroneous as the fish
and game commission requires that
anyone fishing in the lake must
have license

Builds Low Bridge
Across Fisher River

When the old bridge on the West
Fisher went down under a heavy
load of logs week ago, County
Commissioner Kemp made arrange
ment with Engineer Gowan of the
BPR to use the bridge across the
Fisher that the highway contrac-
tor built for his use. The agree
ment was that the public could use
this bridge if the traffic was not too
heavy.
1t developed that there was so
much traffic over the bridge that it
was interfering with highway work.
Therefore Commissioner Kemp has
built temporary bridge across the
West Fisher close to the site Of the
old one and it is now open to the
public 1t is a low bridge-only
about three feet above water-and
will be abandoned when the new
bridge across the Fisher is COM

Logging Engine
Smoshes Through
Roundhouse Wall

A peculiar accident caused excite
ment for a few moments at the j.
Neils Lumber company plant last
Saturday when logging engine ran
through wall of the roundhouse.
Fortunately no one was hurt.
The train crew had spotted some
cars in the south of the yard and
the engine was returning toward
the mill with seven empty cars
The engineer was watching for sig
mails from brakeman at the rear o1
the train and did not see that the
engine had switched onto the track
that leads into the roundhouse. He
noticed the mistake just before the
locomotive entered the roundhouse
and threw on the air, but the mo-
mentum was so great that the engine
and cars rolled ON through the
roundhouse crashing through wall
and into a room where the auto
lumber carriers are parked. The
wild engine caught one of these and
pushed it through another wall into
the welding room. The only dam
age to the carrier was to the radi-
ator.
The engine left the rails in the
roundhouse and rolled across the
floor in its wild travels. After the
crash was over, all that was neces.
sary was to reverse the locomotive
and it rolled back onto the tracks
What caused the unexpected
switching of the engine into the
roundhouse is not known. Some
surmised that it was caused by (
defective switch but that could no
be determined

Libby Man
Injured by Rocks
Falling From Cliff

Mr.. and Mrs. E. &. Jaqueth OF
Libby are counting themselves
mighty lucky because of their es-
cape from what might have easily
proved a fatal accident, the exciting
incident having happened to them
while on their way home last Sat
urday from Great Falls where Mr.
Jaqueth had been attending meet
ing Of Chevrolet dealers.
The lucky escape consists in the
fact that they passed through a
bombardment OF falling rocks from
a cliff which demolished their car
and which left them unhurt except
that Mr.. Jaqueth received several
very painful cuts and bruises.
STEPPED 1t Wrong Place
The Jaqueths were passing
gan pass route. There was heavy
doWnpour of rain at the time. They
had just passed through a tunnel,
when Mr.. Jaqueth pulled the car in
to wide parking space at the end
of the tunnel for a stop of few
minutes. As he reached forward to
set the emergency brake. large
rock struck the top of the car di-
rectfy over the windshield. IT
smashed that part of the car flat
the glass in the windshield being
converted instantly into powder
states Jaqueth. While that was hap
pening the top of the car was being
bombarded with fusillade Of rocks
As the first rock struck and smashed
the car, Jaqueth shouted to his wife
to jump and run, at the same time
exclaiming as though hurt and
throwing his hand up to the side oil
his head. He jumped from the car
but every time Mrs Jaqueth at
| tempted to leave the auto she was
met by more falling rocks and in.
voluntarily shrank back into the
protection of the auto.
When the bombardment was over
it was found that Mr.. Jaqueth hac
been struck and badly cut over the
left temple. His left hand was also
cut and he sustained minor cuts or
his legs and knees. He was bleed
ing badly. Mrs Jaqueth, however
was unhurt.
$50 Pound Rock
As they gathered themselves to
gether following the first shock ans
excitement, Jaqueth noticed that thu
car was smoking, caused by shortee
wires that had been damaged wher
the car was crushed by the larg,
rock. This large rock came to res
over the coWl OF the car Jaquetl
says 1t must have weighed about Is

1t was labor, hard, relentless,

We worked, sweat under the
Turkish sun, and did locate few
mines. It wasn't enough, as it
turned out. The British fleet never
did get through those tight, dan
gerous straits. Our work pre-

British ever made in military tao
