Len Eriksens Witness
Tragedy Of The
WiIds

A tragedy of the wilds was
witnessed last Friday afternoon
at the entrance to Bad Rock
canyon, four miles from Colum.
bia Falls.
Mr.. and Mrs. Len Eriksen,
Wagsmith, driving along high
way No. 2, spotted two coyotes
across the Flathead river on
shore ice killing a doe. Ter
rified and watching its mother
being killed and at the same
time eaten, was a fawn further
out on the ice.
The Eriksens imediately re
turned to their home, and retur-
ned with two rifles. They were
joined by a Hungry Horse pro-
ject inspector, and a young Co
lunbia Falls man. Together they
tried to rescue the fawn, who
by this time was out on float
ing ice island. Scared, the fawn
broke through, but finally swan
through the icy and turbulent
stream to shore and a safe de-
parture.
So far this winter, Mr.. Erik
sen has killed two coyotes from
his backyard, which is just a.
cross highway No. 2 from Hun
cry Horse government village.

Unusual Shows
Cover Autumn

InaW1nS temperatures In1S
week are further indication that
Flathead valley weather is re-
turning to the alternate thaw and
freeze characteristic of the or
binary winter, here.
A study of the records of A.
D. Cannavina, Glacier National
park assistant chief ranger, who
is weather observer at Bolton,
and of the data furnished by E.
S. Mark, weather observer at
Kalispell, reveal the following:
October and November were
the most unusual months of the
present period. AT Bolton, where
SO inches of snow have fallen
so far this year, 1914 is the win
aer normal, and 80 inches what
one should expect up through
the end of January, ordinarily.
October precipitation at Bolton
totaled 5.43 inches compared to
a normal of 2.43 inches, and in
November the SHOWS really came.
Alt inches fell compared to a
normal of 1853.
To complicate matters, the
season has been characterized
by a steady, moderate cold in.
stead of alternate freezes and
thaws, commented Mr.. Mark. AS
a result the snow stayed on until
this week, and on last Tuesday
evening, before the start of the
thaw, there was A inches on the
ground at Bolton.
At Bolton, December was al
most a normal month. Snowfall
was 25.4 inches compared with
the 11-year average of 1913 in
ches. January so far has had 81
inches; the average for the
month is 1915.
Month by month here is what
Bolton can expect on the H.
year average: 81 inches in Oct
ober; 1853 inches in November;
1913 inches in December; 1915
in January; 1913 in February;
1875 in March, and 3.6 in April.
Mr.. Marks records at Kalis-
pell show that SO inches of snow
have fallen there this season,
compared to a 50-year average
of 46 inches for the entire win
ter. Last years total was STA.
The Kalispell thermomet-
er today climbed to Al de-
grees, the warmest record
ing since October Is, 1916.
Tie local forecast is for
mild weekend
But again, October and No
vember were the most unusual
months of the present period.
October 1916 had the most snow
of any October in Kalispell
weather bureau history. liz in
ches compared to a l inch ave-
rage, and precipitation was 3.18
compared to a LOG inch average.
November snowfall totaled 25.9
inches compared to a normal of
rs and December had % inches
compared to normal of 10 in
ches. January SO far has had 8.8
inches the normal for the whole
month is 121.
Up at Summit on the contin-
entail divide, the upper Columb-
ia snow laboratory technicians
of the weather bureau, reported
early this week that the 60 inches
of snow ION the level contained
% inches of precipitation.
It will be a flooding spring,
w h every indication that
streams will overun their banks.
The government January l, pre-
dicted that the Flathead river
at Columbia Falls would carry
Isl per cent or more Of its nor.
NAL flow during the runoff.
The whole Columbia basin is
wetter, with precipitation esti-
mated at 127 per cent of normal.

Nine. Bonnet
Speaks ON Paris
Before AAUW
By Ruth Dean

How France is striving to get back
to normal way Of life was de-
scribed to the Washington Branch
of the American Association of
University Women yesterday by
Mime. Bonnet, wife of the French
Ambassador. -
The speaker, who spent last sum-
mer in France, presented a detailed
picture of food shortages but told
how Parisians are trying to revive
their tourist trade.
Though Parisians are just making
both eEds meet, using their salaries
TO buy food and going without ne
cessities. they are united in an all
out effort toward making their city
attractive to visitors, she declared.
Thus the tourist, who stays at
the best hotels, sees the shows and
takes in the night spots, may form
a false impression of the real Paris,
Nine Bonnet stressed. Newspaper
and magazine accounts of lavish
fetes and opera openings may add to
this impression, she added. At
gala opening, for example, one
might see the women dressed in
beautiful gowns, she said but more
often than not, their gowns are
borrowed from a friend or loaned
,y a fashion house to create the
atmosphere for the occasion.
Many of my American friends
who would like to visit France tell
me they feel they will be taking
away our food" Nine. Bonnet said.
But the amount of food you would
eat would not be much and you
would be helping u.s.
Mrs. G. r. Wilhelm, president of
the branch, presided and Mrs. Ed
ward A. Chaplin, chairman of the
international Relations Committee.
introduced the speaker.
Earlier in the day Mrs Louis H.
Renfrow described her recent trip
to Greece and Holland to members
of the Womans National Demo-
cratic Club.
Mrs. Renfrow stressed the i'm
portance of mutual understanding
between the women of America and
other lands. The average European
woman thinks the American house.
wife is living in luxury, she pointed
out. On the other hand, the average
American thinks the European Is not
working but waiting for us to send
him aid. Both impressions are
wrong, Mrs. Renfrow asserted.
Mrs. Renfrow's talk was illustrated
with an exhibit of thank you dolls"
which she brought back from
Greece The 18-inch portrait dolls
were dressed in costumes made by
the Greek women from scraps of
material too small for children's
They were presented to
Mrs. Renfrow in appreciation for
what the American women have
done for the children of Greece.
Mrs. Renfrow was introduced by
Mrs. j. Borden Hartman, president
of the club, who presided over the
