Beavers Menace
Water Supply
INDUSTRIOUS ANIMALS ATTEMPT
TO SHUT OFF GREAT FALLS
WATER SYSTEM

The Great Falls water supply was
menaced recently-by beavers.
The animals were discovered build
ing a dam at the intake tunnel of the
water plant south of the city. Five
truckloadS of trees which formed the
basework for the dam were hauled
away. The trees, about or inches
in diameter, were cut about 40 yards
downstream and pushed against the
current to the intake.
The beavers weren't discouraged
when their first structure was de-
stroyed. They cut more trees and start
ed over again. A game warden granted
permission to shoot the animals The
first one killed weighed so pounds,
and city officers were undetermined
whether proceeds from the pelts should
go TO the city or state.

The 1910 total number of forest fires
in the Montana and northern Idaho
district was the largest number re-
corded and the amount of acreage
burned over was the smallest amount
recorded during the last 10 years, ac-
cording to the annual report of the
fire season. released by w. E. Fry,
assistant supervisor of the Helena ma
tional forest
The official number of fires reported
during the season was set at 1893 and
the burned over area amounted to
1890 acres.
The largest number Of fires were
reported in the kootenai national for
est which had large number of dry
lightning storms during the season.
A comparison with figures for other
years within the last lO-year period
shows an unusually low ratio for the
1910 season. In 1929 there were 1919
fires and 1926 900 acres burned over
In 1881 there were 1880 fires reported
and 10000 acres were burned over,
and 1247 fires were recorded in 1884

Boy Walks 642 Miles
A singular incident happened in the
summer of 1867, growing out OF the
wreck of one of the river boats. In
July of that year the steamer Trover
low Fort Benton. The Ida StockaCe
happened along about this time, took
her freight and passengers to Benton,
and on the way back took off her
machinery and carried it to St. Louis.
When she left the wreck there were
two colored boys asleep in the hold
and the boat went off without know
ing they were there. On waxing up
and finding themselves alone. without
a thing to eat or any means of defenSf
and surrounded by wilderness WnO4E
unknown to them, they were complete
" paralyzed with fright. But, recover
ing their presence of mind they saw
that they must find some relief m
mediately or they would die OF star
walton. They left the wreck and start,
ed down the river. In crossing a small
tributary of the Missouri one Of the
bows was drowned The other kept on
night and day, most of the time BACK
from the river, to avoid the bends ana
the swamps and underbrush. He had
nothing to eat except little BARK
and some flower blossoms and did not
stop a moment for sleep. His Keeping
back from the river caused him TO
miss the boats and the trading posts.
Finally, almost famished and exhaust
ed. he beat his way through dense
willow growth to the bank of the river
in the hope that some boat would come
along before he should die.
Shortly afterward a steamer hove
in sight-the Sunset-on her way up
the river. She was a veritable sunrise
to the poor boy. who began waving
an old white hat almost the only ar
ticle of clothing he had left. The
people on the boat saw the signal and
sent the yawl out and brought the boy
in. His face was almost raw from
mosquito bites, and he was so weak
that he could scarcely stand.
He was found at point Is miles
below Fort Rice, or 642 miles. by river
channel, below where the Trover was
wrecked He travelled the distance in
nine days. With all the cutoffs duly
allowed for, he must have averaged
70 miles a day during this time, and
all the while without food. Were it
not that the facts seem well estab-
lished, such an example Of physical
endurance would be incredible. The
name of this little hero was Frederick
Good and his home was in st. Louis.

ABoR FOR WILLKlE

II John l.. Lewis goes tine
whole way Tor Wendell Willkie
As he says he IS going to. he must
have impelling reasons some
thing like half million dollars
is said 10 have been spent through
Lewis agencies 10 help elect Pres
Roosevelt in 1886. That is big
investment 70 drop entirely
The president hC Laborz Go
and head Of the United Mine
Workers OF America, has given
out the word that he will endorse
Wendell /. Wilkie for the presi-
dency and condemn President
Roosevelt's ambition for a third
term in radio address 10 the
nation Friday night
Lewis indicates that he VIII go
all the way. as did sen. Hiram
W. johnson OF California. last Fri
day night. Four years ago, Lewis
went AL the way for Roosevelt
lin influence, speeches and con
tributions.
The Go ,eader is scheduled to
deliver thirty-minute speech
over the three major radio net
works to explain his preference
for WiIlkie over Roosevelt. 1t will
be the third surprise attack on
the third term campaign in two
weeks. the first having been that
Of Col. Charles A. Lindbergh and
the second that Of Sen. Johnson.
Friends say Lewis will charge
the President with breaking his
promises 10 organized labor and
with having created war hyster-
ia in America that may lead to the
destruction of labor's hardwon
rights. They add that Lewis will
express fear that, II the third
term tradition is destroyed, the
United States will be plunged far
down the path TO dictatorship.
They also point out that all labor
rights are abolished in dictator
ships
Lewis, his associates add. will
concede that Mr.. Roosevelt secur-
ed the enactment OF laws bene-
ficial 10 organized labor durin z
his first administration. But. they
say. Lewis will add that in his
second term. Mr. Roosevelt turn
ed his back on organized labor
barred il from his council cham
bers and failed 10 solve the unenl-
ployment problem.
Beneficial labor laws are worth
less 10 the man without a job
says Lewis. and he expresses the
opinion that Mr. Willkie will be
able 70 DO much more for labor
than Pres. Roosevelt.
There seems q be doubt In the
minds OF a good many people rs 10
whether Mr. Lewis will go the
whole way for Mr. Willkie In his
Friday speech II he does there
can be no doubt but that he will
convince good many members Of
the Clio that for their best inter-
ests they should switch their votes
from Pres. Roosevelt TO Mr..
Willkie.
