The Cost OF Polio

Infantile paralysis, more commonly
known as polio, is one Of our most eXpen-
sive diseases in its toll of life and its Grip
pling effects on its victims. Many Of its vic
tins can be cured and others helped, pro-
vided they receive the proper care in time.
1t must be remembered that the crippl-
ing effects cannot be met on ''too little
and too late basis"
Funds must be available when this en-
envy of mankind strikes This county felt
the heavy hand of the disease and in turn,
had the helping hand of the National
Foundation extended to it in 1914. 1t is
we'll to remember something of the cost
of that.

Black Bears InUQde
FIQtheQd Farm
Districts

Upper Flathead valley FARMERS
are fighting an invasion of bears
that have even come within the
city limits of Columbia Falls.
Bears during August and Sep
TENDER have a doubled appetite as
they prepare for the long winter
sleep. Huckleberries are the cake
of all their food, and this fall the
mountain areas of the Flathead
have one of the poorest buckle
berry crops on record.
AS a result Van Garlough Oh the
outskirts of Columbia Falls is hav-
ing tough" time keeping bears
out of his five bee hives. Charlie
Ritter is reported to be plagued by
an old black with two cubs, and last
Tuesday, Steve, the Great North
ern track Waterman was said to
have been chased for half a mile
by a mean old she bear"
Tobias Tolifson on the old Bob
Edwards's place, the story is, had
two pigs killed by raiding bruin.
Tuesday Elmer Howell saw a big
black in his Wheatfield. Other, bears
down among the valley farms have
been reported by George Mathei-
son, near Bedrock school; Mart
Weaver in Deer Park near Col
umbia mountain, by Daisy Sparks
in her Sunrift column, and by Ann
from the CoramMar-
tin city section, where the animals
are ordinarily more common.

Paul A. Jones Assigned
To Missouri River Basin

Paul A. Jones, Hungry Horse pro-
ject engineer in charge of pre-con-
struction, has been transferred to
the Missouri River basin.
This dispatch was received Thur
sday by the Hungry Horse News
from R. J. Newell, bureau of rec
lamation regional director, Boise.

airy construction and planning at
Hungry Horse since January 1915.
He is well liked.
Director Newell commented that
the bureau of reclamation is trans
ferring Mr.. Jones to Region 6,
headquarters in Billings, because
of his knowledge of construction
under conditions prevailing in the
area, and familiarity with various
aspects of the Missouri river bas-
in. He served as construction eng
ineer on the Buffalo Rapids pro-
ject near Terry, from September,
1887 to 1914. Before that, he was
resident engineer on the ella pro-
ject (Arizona) and an engineer on
the Hoover Dam project (Arizona-
Nevada. A veteran employee of
the bureau, he also saw service
on the Umatilla jroject (Oregon),
the Shoshone project (Wyoming)
and the Yakima project (Washing-
ton.)

Hungry Horse employees and res
idents of the area in his new as
signment.

Will Call Bids On
Emory Greek Logs

Sale of 8 million board
feet of standing timber up Emory
creek by the F'lathead national TO-
rest is expected within the next two
weeks.
No minimum price has been an
nounced as yet, but the legal adj
vertiSement on the sale will be
printed in the Interlake, Kalispell.
The Emory creek timber inclu-
des larch, fir, spruce and some
white pine, and will be logged du-
ring the next nine months.
At the present time the Flathead
national forest is allowing 40 mil
lion board feet of cutting a year.
Half of this has been up the Flat
heads South Fork with Emory
creek Ca tributary Of Hungry
Horse creek) being the principal
logging section.
The State of Montana is also
calling for bids on million board
feet of timber above Whitefish
lake on Swift creek. These bids
are scheduled for a mid-Septem-
Der opening.
Principal timber reserve of Flat
head county, the North Fork dis
trict with it's Il billion board feet,
has had little logging development
for lack of access roads. Essen
TALLY a spruce forest, the lack of
any development here is resulting
in mature timber being wasted.
With the nationwide housing short
age there is need for some cutting
up the North Fork.

;Iacier Expects Record Autumn Travel

Glacier national parks record
travel tit will pass 100000 this CO.
ming week. is expected to contin-
lie into September and October.
Hotels in the park itself close
September IS, but travel during
September is expected to exceed
10000 as compared with last years
September total of 31,869 and g.
S86 for September, 1915.
Park officials say that closing

ailable on Lake Mcdonald and in
the towns adjacent to the alpine
playground. Autumn visitors see
Glacier at what local residents con-
slider its most co1orful time.
Early in September, the larch

ated 5000 Labor Day vacationers
enter the recreational area as COM
pared with 8, 1872 year ago.
Park travel Thursday was II
per cent ahead of last year, and
