Bears Pet Peave,
Aluminium Trail
Markers In Park

Pet peave of Glacier national
park bears are the 1000 alumni
mum markers along the more than
1000 miles of park trails.
Between 300 and 400 of the signs
must be replaced each year bee
ause the bears don't like them. At
park headquarters in Bolton is a
box full of chewed and split signs
that once served to show trail dis
tances and directions to various
points of interest.
Latest venture on the part of
rangers to outwit the estimated
1856 black and 105 grizzlies is to
place the markers seven feet alb
Owe the ground. Wood signs more
difficult to make had been tried
and were also damaged; enameled
steel signs, more expensive, were
also an object of bear dislike. The
park is definitely interested in an
sign material that
bears will tolerate.

Local Hunters Find Few Elk

The great size-o f-the-state of Del
aware primitive area is being more
thoroughly hunted this year than
it was last.
Hunters believe that the past
two severe winters plus the high
kill of 1858 elk in the South Fork
alone during 1916 has resulted in
a depleted herd that does not num-
Der 1000 as was the estimate. The
present calf crop is poor.
From another hunting front, the
Bitter Root, the Western News re.
ports that the elk kill this year is
$50 as compared with 900 for the
1916 season.

Falls to Have Census; Ask City Status

Within the next two weeks a CEN
sus is planned in Columbia Falls
for the purpose of establishing the
community as third class city in
place of its incorporated town sta
tus.
Present population of Columbia
Falls is thought to be 1900; re-
quirements for a third class city
are 1000. In the federal census Of
1880 and again. in 1910, the popul-
alton remained static at 637.
Then with the Hungry Horse pro-
Ject and another big factor of in
creased lumber mill and logging
activity, the population passed
1000 nearly two years ago.
Brings More COnveniences
Procedure is for a census to be
taken, and then the town to re-
quest the secretary of state in Hell
ena for listing as city. Advant-
ages, commented Mayor John O.
Cornell are that it makes possible
more efficient local government
and improved police, fire, streets
and water functions than are pos
sible under town status.
Columbia Falls led Flatnead
countys three incorporated COM
munities this year in percentage
of increase in full property valu-
alton, up 47.4 per cent over a year
ago. Kalispell rose 1876 per cent,
and Whitefish 8 per cent.
County Assessor E B Jystad re-
ported that the full valuation Of
Columbia Falls increased from
$531 ,022 in 1916 to 1854 in
1947 with the tax base going up
from S161,756 to $227,OOO. The
county re-appraisal board in town
this week commented that Column
bia Falls was showing the greatest
increase in actual property worth
of any previously settled part of
the county.
Seek Improvements
Meanwhile at the November
meeting of the town council Mon
day, it was decided that the town
signify its intention to create two
special improvement districts.
The first will be to rebuild and
extend the present sewer line from
-lle foot of Nucleus (Main) avenue
to the depot, and the second for the
purpose of sidewalk to be built
around the town square. Property
owners will be notified.
The council also signified its in
5ention to have a street opened a
block back of the grade and high
school buildings. This will be used
oy logging trucks, which at pres
INT use either Nucleus avenue or
he street in front of the schools.
Monday the council agreed that
he housing project construction
'ffice, now used as a warehouse,
re moved to the old town barn To-
alton below Smith Brothers cor
Ter for the purpose of becoming
,outh center.
Local attorney, James Cumming
vas appointed town attorney. He
ucceeds Ambrose Measure, who
ad been retained as legal adviser.
was also appointed town
reasurer succeeding Mrs Merriam
-fseth.
An application is being prepared
y the town for submittal to the
&c asking funds to help rebuild
nd extend the water system.
The request of George Bousil-
ian for a beer license was ap-
roved.
Present at the meeting were Ma

F.H. News Log Building Nears Completion

Next week the big (for us) eight
ton press will be moved into tbs
nearing completion Hungry Horse
News building at the foot of Colum-
bia Falls Main street.
By mid-December, it is hoped
that the paper will finally come to
rest under one roof. We now pay
four rents.
The large-windowed "a by 49,
foot log structure with enough
room on it's four lot triangle for a
sweeping lawn and SO trees, is
built to be a country weekly news
paper office and printing plant.
It's location at the junction of
the main street and highway is
the most Travelled corner in town.
We want to see what's going on.
There are a lot of men who are
concerned with getting the build
ing ready. We don't know yet who
cut the larch logs that were select
ed, finished and grooved by the
Barnard brothers.
Contractor Clarence Ray had
a busy crew that this week fin
ished shingling the roof. There
was Elmer Howell, Ike Jones,
Billy Ray and Stanley Taylor
The Hoerner brothers are going
to help move the big press that
was brought from Hamilton last
winter and stored in the Martin
Davall warehouse, and undoubt-
eddy neighbor, Ray Gendreau will
be there to give us hand.
Fred Rice has installed the 22O-
three phase, 22O-single phase and
11O-volt conduits under the con-
crete floor. AS befitting the Hun
cry Horse News, the cement is as
as grass, and is be-
ing poured and finished by NOEL
rows and Wilken. There are also
propane gas pipes under the con-
crete.
Jack Hoerner is installing the
Clarence Clapper ex- ,
tended the town water main for
4 block, and E Lundstrom dug
he sewer and waterline bitches to

o move the linotype, paper cutter, .,
Job press, power saw, and other
printing equipment.
The outside design of the build 6
ng generally follows the one

There will be others helping fin t,

Memories of 'S8 Blizzard

To the Editor Of The Star:
This is in reference to the great blizzard OF
March II, 1888, at which time I was working
in a grocery store at Seventh avenue and
Twelfth street, South Brooklyn, N. Y. know
the following morning, which was a Tuesday,
the snow had drifted up to II feet on the west
side of Seventh avenue and the wind and the
cold were terrific. walked to Fifth avenue and
Tenth street, and at times, to get my breath,
had to turn my back to the wind. The stores
we're buried up to the second-story windows
and the only way to get the people out was to
dig tunnels. Our stable which was under the
rear part of the store 10 feet below street level
was out of sight The f1remen came around TO
tell us to have our horses ready for emergency,
but there was nary fire that week, and it was
not until the following Friday that we could get
a horse out of the stable and go to market. I
was 16 at that time.
In those days we had coal box by the gutter
The coal was frozen SO that We had to use
pickaxe to recover some. The horse car drivers
during the storm found 1t was useless to con-
tinue, unhitched the horses and turned them
loose, but they were near the stableS and 80
managed to get there.
All in all have not seen the like OF that

Toio's Defense

In his 60,000-word defense Of himself
before the eleven-nation international
Military Tribunal in Tokyo, General TOTO
has sung an old tune that will impress
nobody but people with short memories.
He has simply rehashed the propaganda
line that Japan used in an effort to con-
fuse and hoodwink the world In the days
when 1t was on the march to create and
dominate the so-called Greater East Asia
Co-Prosperity Sphere"
The substance of Tojos rehash is that
Japan was forced" into the war by the
"encircling" ABCD powers-America, Brit
ain China and the Dutch East Indies. AS
premier he wanted only peace, but the
"encirclers" would not let him have it.
Instead, according to his argument, they
were bent on destroying Hirohito's empire,
and so he and his government had no
choice but to strike at Pearl Harbor and
lead the japanese in great struggle for
survival.
But what are the facts Of history? The
first fact is this: That in Japan's prewar
lexicon Greater East Asia CoProsperity
Sphere" meant vast segment of the
world in which independent countries were
to be made the political and economic
vassals of Tokyo. A second fact Is that in
the same lexicon an "encircler" was any
country that took measures to resist or
discourage Japanese aggression. Thus,
China embraced policy of "encirclement"
in defending itself against Hirohito's in
vading legions for ten years prior to Pearl
Harbor-an invasion that the TOTO gov
ernment frequently described as peace
program"
Thus, too, Britain became an "encircler"
when it sought to protect Malaga and
Singapore after Japan had moved south
ward into Indo- China. The Netherlands,
likewise, adopted an "encircling" policy
when it decided to strengthen itself against
repeated threats to the East Indies. AS
for the United States, it became the chief
villain of the piece for taking steps to
safeguard its vital Pacific interests and for
rejecting, in the final hours before Pearl
Harbor, TOTO demand that it abandon
the Chinese and give the Japanese war
lords virtually free hand throughout
Asia, supplying them with oil and other

How to Tell Your Ace

According to DR.. C. Ward Champion, q
New York specialist in the aging process,
It is not a bit easy to tell how old man
really is. In his opinion, all of us have
six ages besides the chronological one that
we measure in years. These are the
anatomical the physiological, the psyche
logical, the pathological, the statistical and
the hereditary, and unless the seven are
considered together there is no way of
arriving at anybodys true age.
Thus, as Dr. Champion sees it, it means
little or nothing to say man is chrono-
logically 40 years old. Anatomically, psy-
chologically, statistically, ETC., he may be
q veritable confusion of ages. His liver,
for example, may be go years old and his
heart 80 years younger. Or his mind may
be childish and his stomach senile; or his
spirit may have long gray beard, while
his hereditary background may indicate
that he can look forward to five decades
more of living.
It is Dr. Champions belief that such a
man cannot tell where he stands unless he
undergoes lot of tests designed to disclose
the differing ages of his heart, arteries,
StOmacn, praln, etc. lneSe ages must
then be added together, and the grand
total must be divided by seven, the final
result being the true age. All this is time
consuming, of course, but anybody sub
mitting to it can have the satisfaction Of
knowing whether he is older or younger
than the calendar says. More than that,
In the course of such thorough going
over, his doctor may be able to prescribe
something that will be physically very
