Urges Better Tree Use

Flathead county farmers are
urged to exercise more care when
permitting pole and Christmas
tree cutting.
Too often, comments Farm For
ester w. L. Roger, there is evil
dence of carelessness in faulty
contract cutting that is costing
farmers money.
There are too many examples in
the valley where contractors cut
stumps too high, remove the top
for Christmas trees, and destroy
the part of the tree best fitted
for fence posts.
Roger urged that farmers who
want more income from their
trees see that stumps are cut low,
and that effort be made to make
use of the Christmas tree, fence
post and fuel wood possibilities
that the cuttings offer. Income
from a 'pole" sized tree, he con-
cluded can be increased up to
four times.

District Escapes Flood Harm

The 1.35 warm rainfall Of last
Thursday and Friday as record
ed at Kalispell plus unreasonable
temperatures of 80 and 81, caused
more rapid snow melt in the
mountains than is ordinarily ex-
perienced this early in May. AS a
result the Flathead has already
taken care of more spring runoff
than is usual at this date. If the
weather continues mild, and the
river near full, there is less dan
ger of late May or early June
flood. Spring had started with
near record amounts of snow in
the mountains, capable of result
ing in great damage to the val
ley.

Columbia Falls came through
the recent Flathead river flood
ing with no wet feet.
There was considerable excite
ment last Friday as rumor, es-
pecially prevalent in Kalispell, re-
ported that a 'five foot wall of
water" was nearing Columbia
Falls. After midnight Friday, there
were even some attempts to "Paul
Revere" local residents, who lived
near the Flathead. However, river
wise, they just went back to sleep.
Damage from flood waters in
county appeared to be conferred
near Kalispell and the Saltwater
river district.
Thre is every indication that
the four-weeks-early coming of
the Flathead to flood stage avert
ed what would have been SER
ious spring water condition.

Park Bear Needs
Lesson Opening
Car Doors

Ordinarily Glacier national park
bears crawl through open win
dows into cars when they smell
food, but in the parks first bear
incident of 1947, big black &C
tually opened the door of Art An
derson's car.
Anderson, one of the crew
clearing snow off Going-to-the-
Sun highway, had parked his au-
tomobile at Garden Wall road
camp near the continental div
ide. When he returned, he found
that bruin had opened the door,
got into the car, and then when
the door slammed shut, the dis
turbed animal proceeded to COM
pletely wreck the cars interior.
Before entering Anderson's au
tomobile, the bear had crawled
through a window into Chief Ell
ectrician L. H. Rupp's car and eat
en- Rupp's lunch. Anderson had
no food in his car, but the bear
didn't trust his sense of smell; he
opened the door to investigate the
matter more thoroughly.
Faced with a sizeable repair
bill, Anderson commented that
he wished the bear also had
known how to open a car door
from the inside. .

.CAA to Decide
On County Port

FINAL approval is expected from
the Civil Aeronautics authority
for construction of $4,000 ad-
mlnlstration building at the Flat
mead county airport, six miles
from Columbia Falls, and eleven
miles from Kalispell and White
fish.
The proposed two-story admin
istration building will be "a by
80 feet, and its second story will
have facilities for the federal
weather bureau, and for commun-
lcatlons. Of the estimated $780,
700 construction cost, $4,000
will be federal grant, and $23,-
600 county funds.
County income for n1ainten-
ance and Improvement of the port
is estimated at $1,000 annually
by County Clerk A. J. Shaw, air
port board secretary. This is from
a l mil levy.
AS part of the national defense
program, the county purchased
the land in 1889, and the federal
government spent $359,184.0O to
improve the port and build hard
surfaced runways; two are 1850
feet long, and the third, 4,725.
With building of a new admin
istration building, it is expected
that the Civil Aeronautics board
will favorably consider an appl-
cation for a transcontinental air
line stop here. Northwest Air
lines proposes to have one flight
a day each way from Great Falls
to Spokane with a Flathead stop.
Members of the board in addi-
ton to Shaw are: Gilbert Miller,
and F. A. Brinkman,
both of Kalispell; H. B. Markus,
Whitefish; Chester Seymer, Col
umbia Falls ,and E. j. O'Brien,
