Receives Word About
Browning.Glacier Cutoff

Last Sunday Postmaster o. A.
Tellifero received call from
Senator Drumheller of Cut Bank
giving the information that he
had just returned from Helena,
where he was in conference with
Highway Engineer Mckinnon
who stated that final approval
had been given placing the
Browning - Glacier Park short
cut road through Browning, and
thence by way of the snowshed
west of town, where an overpass
driveway. crossing the Great
Northern tracks will be con-
structed. Bids calling for the
construction of the overpass will
be let in the near future. 1t is
understood that the short cut
from Browning to the overpass
will be constructed by the state,
who will bear the expense of
building approximately that mile
and a quarter of road, which will
not follow the course of the pre-
sent road. but will start at ap-
proximately opposite the eastern
end of the fairgrounds and fol-
low a direct line to the overpass.
1t is contemplated that work
will start the early part of May.

Lions Meet And Form Nucleus
OF New Highway Association

built and that the money to be
expended under contracts had
been assigned to the Helena dis
trict several years ago and could
not be used elsewhere. He en-
couraged the forming of a High
way No. 2 Association and said
that Great Falls was interested
in the completion of this road.
Carl Clapper of Cut Bank, a
member of the Theodore Roose-
welt Highway Association. ex-
pressed his desire that tine road
be completed and that this Sec
ton of the state was losing con-
siderable tourist travel because
of unfinished sections.
P. C. Bulen, president of the
Great Falls Chamber of Com.
merce enthusiastically said Great
Falls wanted to be included in
the new highway association.
Fred Williams. representing
Shelby said that community was
for the completion of the road
and offered assistance in every
possible wav. Royal Arbogast
said Glacier Park was especially
interested in having the Two
Medicine bridge completed. A.
M. Shannon. chairman Of the
Browning roads committee. ex.
planned that Browning was for
the completion of the highway
and was willing to do everything
it could to help with the project.
The chairman than called on
Ralph Bricker of Great Falls.
who assured those present that
cooperation and singleness Of
purpose would accomplish much
toward the work desired. Strong
approval was given by those pre-
sent in having a member on the
State Highway Commission from
northern Montana.
Temporary Organization Formed
Since several speakers express.
ed the desire that some or9aniza
ton should be formed to carry
on the work begun several years
ago by the TR Highway Associa-
ton. it was decided to hold .
meeting at a later date to which
larger representation could be
made. A temporary chairman
and secretary we're elected, and
a business meeting called. Jim
Carey of Kaliscell was chosen as
chairman and r. Arbogast of
Glacier Park as secretary. The
new organization will hold its
first meeting in Shelby at ten
o'clock Saturday. May Is. The

Blackfeet Tribal Council Hold
Two Day Business Session

The Blackfeet Tribal Business
Council held their regular April
meeting last Thursday and Fri
day. Practically all of Thursday
afternoon was spent in discussing
land trades between Individual
Indians and the land exchange
assignment forms which the In
dian office requests be used. A
form was finally adopted which
met with the approval of the
council. The council took the
stand that land trades, sales. and
gifts between individual MEM
bers of the tribe should be allowed
to go on as heretofore and that
both surface and mineral rights
60 to the individual rather than
the tribe.
Considerable discussion and
criticism was offered when the
question came up of buying work
stock and milk cows for the loan
clients now on the Seville project.
The charge was made that res
ervation stockmen were not being
given an opportunity to sell their
stock. preference being given out
side white men. Sam Bird ex-
planned that the prospective buy
ers picked out their own stock he
merely supervising the purchase.
The Blackfeet Nursery School
next came up for discussion.
particularly that phase whereby
Mrs. Mary B. Salois, in charge
of the school since it's organiza-
ton had received word of her
dismissal. The Council author
lied the chairman to wire a pro-
test against such action.
The proposition to amend the
constitution and by laws was next
up for consideration. After some
debate. the proposition was re-
jected owing to the fact that
there seemed to be 10 much con-
fusion and misunderstanding of
just what the amendment meant.
There is no question that some
changes should be made and this
the council evidently plan to do.
Other business was transacted
the details of which will be putt
lished next week.

Serious Fire Narrowly
Avsrtsd By Help OF Citizens

What might have been a seri-
Gus fire was narrowly averted
last Saturday when a mattress
in the rear of the Gamble store
caught fire. and the blaze spread
to q pile of papers and rubbish
close by.
The fire was discovered by
David Berger who Immediately
secured q hose and put the fire
out with the help of others. The
mattress was then put into a
trailer car in the alley back of
store by the store attendant, but
the blaze was evidently not ex-
tinguished as it blazed up again
and set fire to the trailer. The
mattress was dragged out onto
the ground and soused with
water as was the inside of the
trailer.
The blaze was brought under
control, but the mattress burned
until nothing but the springs re-
manned. The rubbish that &C.
cumulated in the entry way to
rear of the store was a veritable
fire trap. but has since been
cleaned up. and the city officials
should see that this hazard is
kept that way.

Week Ending April LIST

Grass starting and tempera-
lures remain fairly warm. Little
or no runoff up to the end of

reports of early matches of grass
hoppers. Livestock excellent
with lots of feed.

Park clubs planned. and carried
out q program at the local clubs
meeting last Wednesday evening
that portends important things
for this whole section of Mon
tana. Invitations we're issued to
the towns and communities of
the northwestern part of the
state to attend meeting to con-
slider wavs and means of COM
plotting US Highway No. 2. Rep
representatives. from Kalispe!l.
Whitefish, Glacier Park, Cut
Bank, Shelby. Havre and Great
Falls were present in addition to
a large representation of men,
bers of the local club. Fifty-four
people attended the meeting.
K. w. Bersan acted as chair
man of the meeting. After the
introductions, Scott Hart, high.
way maintenance engineer of
the State Highway Commission
was presented and gave the prin-
cipal talk of the evening. He
told of the difficulties encounter
ed in snow removal of this sec
tion of the state and the Brown
ing-Glacier Park cutoff had cost
about one.tenth of the total cost
for snow removal for the entire
state this year. He also explain
ed the present plan to provide
that Browning be left on High
way No. g Through coopera-
ton of the Highway Commission
and the Bureau of Public Roads.
the road from Glacier Park will
be built to a point just south of
the overpass. Then with state
funds the road will be built from
that point to US 80 just west of
the town limits. Such informa.
tion was gladly received by the
local citizens.
G. M. Moss of Whitefish ex.
planned why he felt that High
way No. 2 needed immediate
completion. In the years that
have passed other parts Of the
state have received more of the
state funds than proportionately
due them and now the time had
come when Highway No. 2
should have enough to complete
many sections which are yet I'M
touched.
AL. Winkler. president of the
Kalispell Chamber of Commerce
emphasized the need for the
completion of the highway in
order to permit visitors from the
west to come to Glacier Park. He
then called on Jim Garry, chair
man of the highway committee,
who explained the present situa-
ton and condition of Highway
No. 2 west. He also emphasized
the need of an organization that
would work toward the compile.
ton of US Highway No. 2 from
Troy. Mont east to the North
Dakota line.
Great Falls Interested
DR.. Harry McGregor of Great
Falls, and we'll known for his
active interest in highway con.
structior, was present and called
attention to the changes that
were needed in highway con
struction today over that of a
few years ago. He explained
why Rogers Pass road was to be
