No Bids Received
For H.H Plumbing

No bids were received at the
Thursday morning opening of con-
tracts to install plumbing in rs
Hungry Horse village prefabs.
The bureau of reclamation had a
similar experience last December
10 when no bids were received in the
call for installation of plumbing in
the SO Hungry Horse village pre-
fabs. The choice was to call for
new bids, or arrange for installa-
ton using bureau employees. Since
housing was needed, bureau en-
ployes installed the plumbing in
rs of the houses, and another call
for bids was announced for the 9TH
er rs units. hTe second bid call
found no interested contractor at
Thursdays opening.
1t has been learned unofficially
that the go ahead sign on the Guy
Atkinson company bid of $643, 400
to dig the South Fork diversion
tunnel may come through in the
next two weeks. This will enable
the contractor to start shortly af-
Ter mid-November. The 1,100-foot-
ong 36-feet in diameter tunnel
digging is expected to employ alb
)ut 100 men.

Test Drilling NeaB


Drilling of the Eth Hungry
Horse PROJECT test hole in the Spot
ted Bear and Emory creek road
junction section WAS started this
week.
The 25-foot drill rig is now loo
ated at the junction of the two
roads and is visible to all hunters
who go up the F1athead's South
Fork after elk.
Nearing completion, the drilling
is to determine the rock formation
in this section above the dansite.
The average damond-drilled hole
has been 120-feet deep. In charge
is Al Morehead.
Forty-five other diamond-drilled
test hohes ranging from $50 to 220
feet deep have been drilled al the
Hungry Horse damsite to better
study rock structure. Project geo.
logist, Keneth Seward, commented
that there had been no discourage
ing findings. The rock at the DAM
site is silicified limestone.
Harry Mclean, project concrete
engineer, has been in charge of IA
test pits in the Hungry Horse creek
area. These range up to 80 feet
deep and four feet square at the
bottom, and in part are to deter
mine the potential gravel supply
for construction of the dam.
Included among the tests was
shipment of carload of gravel to
Denver where it was studied for |
concrete making properties. Ora
vel for construction of the dam is
to come from the Hun
cry Horse creek area which is
within the future reservoir.
Test tunnels, the longest 220

1t seems to be one of the accepted
traditions Of show business that the
plots Of musicals do not have tc
make sense. The producers OF Car
nival in Costa Rica," some people
operating under the corporate name
OF 10th Century-Fox, have gone out
Of their way to prove 1t. The new
picture on the Capitol screen is one
of those musicals usually described
as lavish. 1t is done up in prettiest
Technicolor, it is performed by
Vera-Ellen, Celeste Holm, Dick

has number of hopefully lively
music and dance specialties. 1t also
is silly and more than a little dull.

one about the Costa Rican girl and

CART, fix on a long, shapely nyloned
leg dangling there.
Bogart knows what to do In an
emergency of this kind. He strikes
q match, leans over and lights the
leg owners cigarette, and from there
on has a dame on his hands.
The dame, of course, is Miss
Scott, girl whose face, figure and
voice are supposed to remind you of
q mist rising off q swamp.

The news Bogart brings to Liz,
whose other names are Dusty, Coral
and Mike, is the kind that would
flatten any one else. But her misty
look is deceptive. Actually, she is
tougher than quartz. So, when he
tells her he has just seen her lovers
mutilated remains In the morgue,
she "softens up like custard" for. a
second, then promptly falls in love
with him.
A few seconds later they are
romping out of the clubs gaming
room with $64 1000 they have just
won in a dice game. Luck and hap
piness, however, are fated to run
out quickly for them. Instead of
taking the $4,000 and having a
holiday, Bogart insists they stick
around and solve Johnny's murder.
Another problem that rests uneasily
on his mind Is just what kind Of
a girl Mike" is, and he feels that
evidence on either subject Is likely
to be Illuminating on both.
In covering all the ground from
the depth to the height of the
ridiculous, Dead Reckoning" util-
lied the services Of five writers who,
to judge by the result of their ef-
forts, were determined to make this
the last picture of its type.
They have resorted urbanely to
every cliche in the book of melo-
drama, the freshest of which is sub
stituting Miss Scott for Lauren
Bacan as the siren. It is the sort
of substitution which proves that
variety is not invariably the spice
of life.

THE CAST

The cattle people, the rough ones
who resent every bit of barbed wire
strung by the wheat people across
the plains of Kansas, never seem
to get enough. They keep trying to
turn Liberal, Kans., into a wild
oasis at the end of the bloody
cattle trail they rip across the
farmers lands, always winding ur
well ventilated and subdued If not
dead. just so long as Randolph
Scott has the strength to lift q
six-shooter, we suppose Bat Master
son will continue to cleans up Lib
eral by giving the cattle boys their

wouldn't bet a homemade So bill
on Liberals chances for survival
Mr.. Scott is impersonating Mr.
Masterson again in Trail Street.
the new picture at the Metropoli-
tan. His playing and his adventures
are the standard ones. Speaks right
up to the cattle people, he does,
tells them to their faces that they're
on the way out. Fast man on the
draw, too. There Is not much
suspense at this point In history,
Of course, involved in any concern
over whether he will or win not
bring the law to Liberal, SO the film
Is bound to look very much like
something you have seen before.
1t Is distinguished in a way, though,
by good, rousing, climactic gun
battle. The boys get rid of quite
a lot of ammunition.
In addition to Mr.. Scott, the cast
includes Robert Ryan as the young
man who keeps trying to discover
the way to grow wheat in Kansas
heat; Madge Meredith, as the girl
who loves him; Anne Jeffreys, as
the saloon singer with heart of gold,
and Billy House as a rotund villain
named Carmody. He is the most
refund villain named Carmody you
ever saw. H. M.
