difficult to reach blaze had brok-
en- out in nine different places, and
destroyed two acres of timber be-
fore it was put out.
Another park fire witnessed by

Park Experiences New
Kind MQn-CQused
Fire Threat
HUNGRY HORSE NEWS PHOTO

Out of the ordinary was a man
caused fire in Glacier national
park last Thursday that found
park officials sympathetic.
Almost at the parks west emit
rance, a motoriSt' trailer virtually
flew apart scattering burning bed
ding and clothing. A grass fire
started, which was put out by ran
gers.
The fire is believed to have start
ed in the trailer as the result of
a flat tire which in turn caused a
wheel to lock. Friction then brought
about fire in the trailer.

OId-Timer Says This
Bubble Won't Burst

This is one area that will see 6
big dam built, experience a boom
and then stay on top, believes Da-
vid R. McGinis, the man credited
with being the originator of Grand
Coulee.
He feels that the area has too
many resources, a great scenic
worth, and is too nice a place to
live to ever slump back.
At 80, David R. McGinnis re-
presented the empire builder, jam
es J. Hill in Ohio. He increased the
passenger and freight traffic from
that section for the Great Northern
by 70 per cent in one year.
AS the Great Northern's colon
ization commissioner, he is cred
tied with being the founder of the
Kalispell townsite in 1890.
A remarkable man, McGinnis,
now 81 years-old, is a white-haired,
white-bearded oldtimer who still
thinks of what will come in the
next 20 years. His conversations
concern the future as well as the
past. He is keenly interested in the
present developments in Flathead
county, and will sit down to his
typewriter to write about it.
The story of McGinnis includes
such high points as 1902 when he
became president of the Column
bia River Development league. Ru-
fus Wood, Wenatcnee World pub
Usher, credits him with being the
of the Grand Coulee
dea.
In 1906, McGinnis sold $4,000
acres of land in southern Oregon
or R. A. Booth to Harry A. Hun
er and associates. 1t was one tran
;action.
Later ne acquired fruit and
Jheat LANDS in Washington, which
e still owns.
One very appropriate descrip-
ion of the 91-year-old gentleman
) you know, he still thinks about
hat he'll do 20 years from now" 1
