Eureka Drive AIonq
River Delightful;
Speed Work on No. 81
BY Charles D. Rowe

Spring, so they say, is the time
when the town dWeller likes to get
out on the highway and breathe
plenty of gasoline fumes.
AS yet we are not so bothered
here in this corner of Montana. The
person who joyfully SuccumbS to
the irresistible urge to get out and
enjoy the glorious beauties all
around him can also enjoy great
abundance of pure air and sunshine.
We Succumbed to such an urge
last Sunday afternoon and chose to
point the old car over one of our
faVorite drives, that along the Koo-
tenai river between Libby and Eu-
reka. Sunday we drove as far as
Big creek and found the drive as
marVelously beautiful as ever Leaf
trees and bushes were just putting
on their new gowns of tender green
leaves for the coming season; the
tamaracks were stately and beauti-
full in their new, light green foliage;
the darker green of pine and cedar
added a delightful contrast in
natures color scheme; certain road
side bushes and trees were balls Of
white with a mass of blossoms; the
majestic Kootenai flowed grandly
along at ones side, and in the dis
tance mountain peaks still carried
their gliStening mantle of the win
ter's snow. A few startled deer
bounded away as our car sped along.
Ordinary little creeks were raging
torrents fed by the spring run-off
from the mountains. Birds fitted
through the forest or paused long
enough on some nearby branch to
pour forth delightful music for our
enjoyment The highway was in eX-
cellent condition, giving evidence of
effective work by the men employ
ed by the state to maintain it. All
in all the drive provided a few hours
of delight on an enjoyable Sunday
There is no exaggeration in say
ing this drive over No. 81 between
LIBBY, Warland. Rexford, Eureka
and Whitefish is one of the most
in the Northwest When |
this highway is finally converted in
10 a modern, standard highway, it /
will carry over it a tremendous !
.ourist traffic It's scenic beauty as
;ures that. We understand No. 81 !
S the only highway left in this dis
rict on which money for new con-
;truction can be spent, under Mon
ana highway law. That assures a
early finishing of this
popular road. Every effort should
1e exerted to get this section of
No. 81 completed at an early date.
t will prove an added attraction
o call tourists to this delightful
yacation land.

May has been set aside as a ma
tion-wide Safety Month. aimed at
curbing our appalling toll of deaths
and iniuries-a situation that is fast
becoming a national scandal.
l should like to reprint here
something good that I ran onto this
week in my reading. 1t was in a
circular put out by the Northwest
Does this Safety Month mean
something positive to you? Or have
you been content to think of safety
and accident prevention as some
thing intangible something that
concerns only the other fellow?
"You wouldn't-you couldn't if
you have ever had to walk to a
door, ring a bell and say Your
husband has been in an accident.
They're bringing him in now ..
if YOU have ever stood watching the
face of a friend who suddenly
realizes that an eye or finger, or an
arm may be lost forever-if it was
ever your sad lot to pick up a
child from under the wheels of an
automobile-a child that but a few
moments before was the picture OF
vibrant health and joy!
1--WE can do something! You and
I and every citizen in our land, can
contribute a portion of his time and
energy to making our community
and our city a safer and happier
place in which to live!
Remember, it isn't the magni-
tude of your effort, or the form that
it takes, that counts. What counts
is that you do something-that you
make contribution, however
small! Your fellow citizens are

cherished traditions are going over
board.
The last of such jolts was caused
by an item in a recent daily news
paper A certain lumberjack ap-
peared in court and sued his wife
for divorce because she got drunk
and beat him up.
Ye gods and little fishes! Think
of it! A lumberjack being beat up
by a womanl For many long years
a lumberjack has been to us. an ev-
ample of manly viriHty, with hard
muscles and hard fists, ready to
stand up to any man and fight it
out to a finish at the slightest pro-
vocation.
It has been our good luck to
count a number of these old-time
timber workers as close friends.
There comes to mind such a man
down in central Oregon. Mike Nor
rison had followed the woods all
his life. He was a typical lumber
jack and had helped log off the
magnificent timber crops in Wis
consin and Minnesota Mike was
"all wool and a yard wide" His
word was better than any written
bond. He was as honest as the sun
shine and loyal to the last degree.
l respected and honored him. Many's
the time l have listened to his stor-
les as he chuckled and told of the
early days when the men would
come off the spring drives and
then play, carouse and fight in the
towns. Then there were John Stan
forth and Don Mccoy, two other
Wisconsin, Minnesota jacks who used
occasionally to come into my Of
flee to visit and tell of the days in
Minnesota and of the tragic forest
firest they had seen.
Thus it was that we came to think
of lumberjacks as a fearless breed
of the Paul Runyan type, he-pen
with hair on their chests and full of
pepper and vim. And now we read
of one of them seeking a divorce
because his wife beat him up. Oh,
woe is me! What is the world COM
ing to!

out many more motorists engaged in
pleasure driving - and also many
more pedestrians to take advantage
of the good weather for hikes and
strolls The National Conservation

two-thirds of the pedestrians killed

Dear Mr.. Agather;
KOOtenai Project Lincoln County
Your letter of February 16. ad-
dressed to Governor Ford, regard
ing the newspaper article proposing
a large dam in the Kootenai River,
has been referred to me for reply.
Last summer I received letters
from the good citizens in your
neighborhood, asking the purpose
of making surveys, drilling dam
sites, etc. along the Kootenai River
We had no official knowledge in
our office of any kind concerning
the work being done, and supposed
that it was a part of the Army
investigations to bring
their so-called 1903" report up to
date, as ordered by Congress some
two years or so ago. While in Den
yer last winter. / was informed that
the report on this particular pro-
ject had been prepared, and was
promised a copy. This arrived in
my office just recently. In order
to advise the people in your neigh
borhood of what was going on,
thought it was only proper to give
a digest of this report to the press.
We don't care to have another Flat
head Lake experience in the Koo-
tenai Valley, and for that reason 1
wanted your people to get what
was available.
The report is strictly on geology
and does not cover engineering fea-
.ures. I don't think there is any
hing we should take too seriously
IN the first place, it has not been
by Congress and, so far
as l know, Congress has never even
heard of the project. If bill should
De introduced, authorizing the same.
We will learn about it Immediately
and l will certainly advise the people
n your locality of such informa-
ion.

Report Canadians Bar American Use Of Alcan Highway

SEATTLE, (P)-U. s. Sen. War ren G. Magnuson D.-WashD said last night he had asked the state department to investigate reports that Canada was refusing to per init trucking of American goods from the United States to Alaska over the Alaska Highway.
 The charge, made yesterday by Donald Macdonald, former mem Der of the Alaska International Highway commission, was denied by Canadian officials both in Ed monton and Ottawa.
 Magnuson told interviewers he would oppose any further negotia- tions with the Dominion, for es- tablishment of "freeWays" in the United States for use by Canadi- ans, until the situation has been resolved in U. s. favor.
 The Senator estimated the United States spent $137, ,000,0O0 on the highway and said "the whole purpose of the United States was to have a free international highway"
