Wind Blows Over
New Shed, Just
About Completed

Something that doesn't often hap
pen in this country fell to the lot
of the J. Neils Lumber Company
when large shed, in process of
construction, was blown over by a
strong gust of wind at Warland
Friday.
Herman Bockman, as foreman,
with crew of men, had just about
completed shed to house seven
trucks. Roof and sides were on
with one side open A rather brisk
wind was blowing, when suddenly
stronger gust struck. Bockman
heard the structure begin to crack
and groan to such an extent that
he ordered the men out. And they
got out just in time, as the entire
building was lifted and rolled over
for a distance of several feet. 1t
was just in time because one man
had to be almost pulled out of the
Wreckage in order to save him from
injury
Report is that the open shed
filled like a balloon and lifted right
off the foundations. In region that
is famous for its absence of strong
wind, this incident is real news.

Restrictions on
Steel Will Change
American Way Of Life

Steel, the raw material for vic
tory, is diverted almost entirely to
the war effort by sweeping order
issued by the War Production
Board. The order, which will halt
the use of iron and steel in the
manufacture of more than 400 ma
jor commodities, gives preview OF
our about war economy, as far as
familiar commodities of the home
are concerned.
The steel order is so drastic and
far-reaching that as time passes it
will work major changes in the
American way of life. Scores of
things that have been accepted as
essential to our standard of living
no longer will be made after a 90
day tapering off period and gradu-
ally will disappear from dealers
shelves.
The businessman will find his
surroundings changed by the chok-
ing off of office machinery of all
kinds, advertising novelties, letter
chutes, openers and trays, lockers
and telephone booths. The house
wife will biz unable to bin new
bookends, ,teapots, cutlery, bread
boxes, butter knives and cake cut

is DEVELOPING
INTO BIG BUSINESS

From small beginning less than
Is years ago the commercial pro-
duction of Christmas trees in west
ern Montana has developed into an
annual harvest supplying about one
fifth of the national consumption
and furnishing seasonal employ
ment to hundreds of people. In
addition to the trees, which are the
principal product of this growing
industry, there are springing up
what may be termed "by-products
industries which utilize branches
and trimmings from the stumps for
decorative evergreen ropes, wreaths,
sprays, and garlands Various types
of novelties such as corsages and
decorated cones are also produced.
Since 1927 when Montana Christ
mas trees were first shipped to out
side markets, there has been
steady upward trend of the indus
try, and in l94l the total estimated
production amounted to 3,082,650
trees. In 1910, 2,338,350 trees were
produced; in 1899, 1867 $780, in 1888,
1,676,000; in 1887, 1,534,50 and in
1885, 1,262,500. For the years prior
to 1886 comparable production sta
tistics are not available. In other
words, during the period from 1927
to 1885, inclusive, this industry had
been growing up almost unnoticed
outside of the particular communi-
ties involved.
As in previous seasons, the prin-
cipal producing AREAS for 194I were
Lincoln county, which contributed
l,378,250 trees; Flathead county,
with 1,125,250; and Missoula county,
with 1872, 450 The leading shipping
points were Eureka in Lincoln coun-
ty and Kalispell in Flathead coupF
ty, at which the number of carloads
was identical, amounting to 2l4
each.
Eureka is the center of the
Christmas tree industry in Lincoln
county, with 214 cars shipped from
that point in 1941. Libby was sec
ond place with Al cars, Rexford 81
cars, Fortine cars, Troy 2 cars
In Flathead county, Kalispell ship
ped 214 cars, Whitefish 4, and Olney
car. Shipments from various 9TH
er points in western Montana to-
tailed 113 cars, the two largest be-
ing 80 cars from Missoula and 20
cars from Plains.
1t is estimated that 142,40O trees
went out in truck shipments from
the Flathead, Kootenai, Lolo, Bit
terroot, Cabinet and Deer Lodge
national forests.
Origin of total production (3,082,-
$50 trees) was approximately as
follows: State of Montana forests,
130,470 trees "a per cent?; national
forests, 405,880 trees lib percent)
private lands, 2,546,300 trees (83
