PARISH STREET SATURDAY
NIGHT: One of the favorite text
of our backwods preachers and
one which is dweled upon often
by the more classical brethren of
the Cloth, is, GAS THE SAGLE
STIRS HIS NEST" and many
time I have thrilled at the excess
verbage (known and unknown) re-
quired for it delineation, success
full or unsuccessful, when / have
been fortunate or unfortunate to
be in a pew when the Reverend
Doctors of the Pulpit has been
moved by the spirit to select this
Master Text. Lately, Parish Stree
ters, al of whom proclaim same
deep knowledge. if not adherence
to, the Bibe, when talking Of the
great unprecedented strokes OF
history, such as the recent Pres
idents Civil Rights Committee Re-
port, are likely to be heard to
make a rather all conclusive ana
lvsis of the whole world situa-
ton by remarking knowingly, Yea
THE OLE EAGLE is SHURE
STIRRING HIS NEST, Con-
clusion. without too much reluct-
ance, find myself always wiling
to agree. Whether deliniated by
the Backwoods Brothers whose fe-
vor leads out beyond the english
and logic of the schools or the
more classical Brothers of the
Cloth, who may be otherfise cor
rect but more lacking in spirit
and fevor, I have always noted
that they all dwell long on the
point of the MOTHER EAGLE
preparing the young for the time
when it comes to STIR THE
NEST. A PREPARATION THAT
ID J1N Elm IL l. he tS4NG I1AN-
LIE so HE CAN FLY ALONE
WHEN THE NEST IS STIRRED.
Since the report of the Presi-
dents Civil Rights Committee I
have peen noticing how gleefully
all of Aunt Haggar's Chilluns
speak of that time when, as the
sermon goes, the Old nest kill be
stirred and new and higher
perch befound 70 ra nest that
will be completely new, and the
young eagles will be required to
attain to heights aloneand unas-
sisted, with the rest of the eagles.
One of the most Ominous remarks
I heard this past Saturday night
when we gathered around our
Fish and Beer when somebody
brought up the eagle. With look
of doubt in his eyes, one Parish
:Streeter ups and says, Brother,
Yves ready for the Eagle to stir,
all we needs is LOTS MORE
PRACTICE.

Bear Grass Starts
Blooming In
Glacier
HUNGRY HORSE NEWS PHOTO

Bear grass, the mountain flow
er whose six-inch cluster top con-
tains hundreds of tiny lilies Is
starting to bloom in Glacier ma
tional park.
All through the summer, COM
ments M. E. Beatty, chief park
naturalist, vacationers can see the
distinctive flower. Now it is bloc
ming at lowest elevationst in Gla-
cier, and by late summer, the
bear grass near such places as
Logan pass will flower.
Another plant coming into
bloom in the park are the Gla-
cier lilies that follow the retrea-
ting snow pack, forming golden
carpets. Especially in the North
Fork area growing side by side
with the Glacier lilies are the Ava
lanche lilies, the same flower ex-
cept for being white instead of
golden.

Careless Camper
Causes First Fire

Flathead county had its first
1947 man-caused forest fire Sat-
urday afternoon.
A careless camper on leaving
tossed a shovel or two of dirt on
a campfire about eight miles
north of Columbia Falls on the
North Fork road.
When District Ranger John Ca
stiles and three companions hap
pened to pass by about 2:15 p. M,
the campfire had come to life,
spread, and was starting to fan
into snag timber.
Saturday was a warm, dry day,
and if the rangers hadn't come
along the flames would have
spread. The man who caused the
fire is unknown.
A campfire is out, Flathead ma
tional forest officials say, when
there is no smoke, and the camper
can place his hand any place on
the SPOT or among the char where
the campfire had been burning.

With this issue, the Hungry
Horse News starts doing most Of
its type setting in it's own shop.
Harold Tolley, the printer, with
Mrs. Tolley and year-old son, Den
mis- have moved to Columbia Falls
from Kalispell. Harold had been
using the facilities of the Flathead
Monitor, and the last two months
also of the Kalispell Times to
print the Hungry Horse News.
Bill O'Leary over at the Interlake
took care of the castings (pic-
lures in the ads).
Started last August, the Hungry
Horse News was printed by the
Whitefish Pilot until Senator
Moss went to the legislature.
Printer Johnnie Murphy put in
some long hours, and with Sen
ator Moss and his son, Maver,
lost some sleep before each ISIS
ue of this paper.
Then in January, friendly and
helpful Howard Miller and Chef
Chrisinger, Flathead Monitor pub
fishers, gave us printing home.

Coan, Rowing Guard

Bert Coan, Columbia Falls has
been appointed rowing fire guard
for Flathead national forest, and

er station.
Under a new plan, Coan, re-
porting to District Ranger B. A.
Bealey will check the Hungry

yards as well as camping spots up
the South Fork.
Ranger Bealey commented that
the forest service obviously much
preferred to cooperate with people
beforehand in preventing fires.
The employment of Coan, he add
ed is an effort to check hazards
and avoid destruction of homes,
businesses and the forest.

ports that snow plows have just
started to clear the parking area
at Logan pass, astride the con-
tinental divide, and then remain

Entrance fee to this million &C
re park, second largest in the
United States, remains at ST

quired. The park has 200 lakes and
countless streams.
Reservations made by late May
were running ahead of the fig
ures for year ago. Glacier park
company hotels, chalets and cab
ms had 5,106 reservations as COM
pared with 1850 a year ago. This
does not include the bookings at
hotels and private cabins in COM
munities like Apgar, Bolton, Bsbb

Special tours and conventions
for 1947 are already scheduled to
draw 11,528 visitors as compared
with the 7,741 booked year
ago.

crease over last years total fig
ure of 201,145 visitors, park Of
ficials are counting on an ap-
proximate increase of 10 per cent
in cabin, camping and housing
facilities near or in the park.
This years, early visitors are
apt to see more game than last.
Early reports are that more bear
and deer may be seen from the
highway. Memorial day pre-sea-
son vacationers also had consid-
cradle luck in seeing mountain
goats among the parks alpine
crags. Observing goats has been
aided by installation of new stra-
logically placed rustic signs
pointing out the most frequen-
ted haunts of the animals.
| Speed limit in the park ex-
cept on curves has been upped
from 35 to As miles an hour. This
year because highway No. 2 is
under construction, park gates
will be ranger manned and open
"a hours a day. However as in
the past only cars and light
J trucks will be permitted on park
roads.
