At midnight Wednesday, the

Us Inches Snow
Fallen In Park;
Is 52-1nch Pack

Up to the first of the week, the
day by day snow measurement
at the Glacier National Park
ranger station totaled ITS inches,
according to F. x. Guardipee,
ranger.
The present depth is So inches,
he said. and represents moisture
that began falling the latter part
of October. In solution it is ap-
proximately 20 per cent.
Released gradually during the
summer, the moisture in con-
gealed form serves to sustain
park streams and lakes.
If water were to disappear
from the earth for just a mom-
ent, man and microbe would
crumble to dust.

Cut Bank Chamber
Does Effective
Pressure" Job

Response of the Cut Ba n k
Chamber of Commerce to its eff
forts in having Senator Murray
get action from the U. S. Park
Service in aiding snow removal
on the Babb-Browning stretch of
the highway is pointed out by
George N. McCabe, president of
the Cut Bank organization, in a
letter to the Chief.
McCabe said that he t TX e d
with Senator Murray by phone,
giving him particulars of the sit
uation, Senator Murray sent
the following telegram to the
Cut Bank Chamber:
Regarding telephone and tele-
gram conversations: DeMaray,
Associate National Park Service
Director, has wired superintend-
ent of Glacier National Park to
release equipment Immediately
and go to relief of Babb resi-
dents and Others"
McCabe's letter to the Chief
tells of efforts made upon other
responsible sources, where action
could be exerted in behalf of the
road clarence.
The Chiefs understanding is
that the Park Service does not
have funds available for the road
clearance project and that the
State Highway Department is
financing it.
A story from Helena appear
ing in this issue makes this claim.
At any rate. the Cut B a n X
Chamber of Commerce did a good
deed in helping to high press
ure" those who had a response
bility.

|D'Ewart' s Bill Would
Give Indian War Vets
Full Property Rights

Washington-Indian veterans,
who have served honorably in
the armed forces of the United
States in time of war may secure
removal of all restrictions on
their property under provisions
of a bill introduced last week by
Congressman Wesley D'Ewart,
chairman of the House Indian
Affairs subcommittee.
D'Ewart's bill directs the
Secretary of Interior, upon ap-
plication by any honorable dis
charged Indian veteran, to re-
move all restrictions upon the
lands, interests in lands, funds
or other property of the veteran,
and to issue an unrestricted
patent in fee for any trust lands.
A similar bill introduced in the
last session failed of passage DUR
ing the last days of Congress.
The bill reflects a widespread
sentiment among Indian veterans
that any man who served in the
war is entitled to handle his own
affairs if he wishes to do so. \
