PARK HEADQUARTERS, G. N.
p, May rs, (SpeciaD-The World
Famous Going to- he-Sun Highway
in Glacier National Park will be
open to travel the morning of Tues
day, May %, and this highway is IN
q better condition than ever before.
This is the earliest opening date for
the Going the-Sun highway in
the history of the park and makes
possible said Superintendent Libbey
the holding of the annual ski meet
which is sponsored by the Glacier
Park Ski Club on the top OF Logan
Pass on Sunday, June Q.
While light snow fall and rains
in the valleys made the highway
easy to open at the lower eleva-
tions, the continual rains in the low
er elevations amounted to snow on
Logan Pass and at the present time
the snow is six feet deep and con-
ditions are excellent for skiing and
a large turnout is expected, IN view
of the many inquiries received dur
ing the past month.
So that the visitor to the park
may have proper information and
assistance, it is planned to open the
checking stations on the same day
that the Going to- the-Sun highway
is opened.
Ample accommodations and res
taurants are available in the towns
adjacent to the park. The hotels
and chalets in the valleys will be
open on June Is with the high
mountain tent camps and chalets
open for business on July l.

ORGANIZATIONS

A strong organization has been
formed in all sections OF Montgom

spreading information concerning
the continuation Of this Levy. If il
does not pass by the sixty five per
cent vote, Chairman Wagner says
there will have to be a drastic cur
tailment in the number Of free hos

Dayton hospitals.
Last year 100000 patient days Of
free service were rendered, thanks
te the One Mill Levy being in effect.
Ten percent of the cases thnt are
received are from rural districts.

Something came flying through
the window. Before I could duck
it struck me full in the face and
dropped to the floor I stopped and
picked up a Wad of paper that had
been wrapped around a small stone
to give it weight.
On the library table I spread it
out and read:
you haven't got away from me.
I'm waiting for you. If you go to
the police you won't live to be
sorry about it. A rifle makes too
much noise down town. but there
are other ways
The note was unsigned. 1t was
written on several sheets of paper
torn from a cheap notebook.
I snapped off the light and
looked out the window. There was
no one in sight. The man who
threw the note would not have had
time to run TO the end Of the
block He must be hiding outside.
There was telephone on the Ii

wing, throwing his light that way.
And it passed pretty close over

We searched the ground for sew

there was no wire. Then he went
indoors to the telephone.

He hung up the telephone, in

I swallowed. 1T is"
She went to the kitchen to prev
me a cup of tea. After a time she
returned. "I'll read you story

both our minds off our troubles.

door, and they had no reason TO

Toward evening I sat up. l felt
much better-almost normal, IN
fact. When Belzer burst IN ana
saw ME, however, he set up a howl.
Put that bandage back on your
head" he demanded. You're a
sick man, and the photographer IS
here to prove it."
The photographer came in, load
ed down with his big camera and
flash bulks again. He set up his
tripod. BelZer posed me.
Il hope you realize I would
never do this if I didn't feel in
debted," I said, he directed me
how to grimace as t ugh in pain.
They took six flash pictures.

reporter announced. "All we have
to do is wait four more hours and
it's ours, exclusive. Well rush
these pictures down and get 'em

shot closeups, showing the bullet
holes" He grinned. Boy, what a
yarn"
After he had gone the doornell
rang again. I heard Miss Markham
greeting George" in the entry,
and knew her brother had re-
turned. He went directly upstairs.
She came into the library with a
finger over her lips. She was car
rying a pair of shoes for me to
wear.
II do feel indebted to that re-
porter, despite his bad manners"
she whispered. I'll keep George
out Of here for a while. He is very
impulsive, and would insist that
you go right to the other apers
with your story"
I nodded as she withdrew and
closed the door. I put on the shoes.
. There were sounds in the kitchen
now, informing me that the cook,
at least, had returned.
George, coming down the stairs,
started to open the library door,
but his sister called him to dinner.
A short time later, apparently
while he still was eating, she
brought me my dinner on tray.
