permits, to start their annua.
game count, Monday morning.
It will be scientific counting
through binoculars in most cases
of the parks elk, moose, mule
and white-tailed deer. The pur
pose, to determine winter sur
vival and increase or decrease
over previous counts.
The rangers, divided into IL
small parties, will cover the
game winter range in Americas
second largest national park,
which with one million acres, has
more area than the state OF
Rhode Island.
Some of the winter range can
be observed from automobiles,
especially along the Middle Fork
of the Flathead river, COM
mented A. D. Cannavina, the
parks assistant chief ranger in
charge of forestry and wildlife,
however Ranger Hugh Buchan
an will cover part of the North
Fork area, that stretches Sc
miles to the Canad-
ian line, by plane with Pilot
Stonebreaker. The area will also
be checked by skiers.
For the most part the survey
will be made by rangers on skis
or snowshoes. Some of the trips
will require five and six days
out in the parks alpine wilder
ness. 1t will be the first time
since October that man will VEN
ture into many mountain valleys.

invited representatives of sports
mems clubs and the state game
comission to assist in the count.

they're on winter range, is con-
the best tine to count

In the following paragraphs
the valley we live in is described
from the viewpoint of weather
man This article is a digestec
version of report by the gen
ial federal weather observer a
the Kalispell station, E. S. Mark
Northwestern Montana's Flat.
head valley is roughly Is miles
in length and from Is to 20 miles
wide. The average elevation is
sOOO feet. To the north and west
the valley floor gives way tc
rolling hills which terminate in
mountains from 1000 to $500 feet
above sea level. The southern
end of the valley is closed by
Flathead lake, one of Americas
largest bodies of fresh water.
To the east the PERCEPTIONS
Swan mountains (including Co.
Elumbia) rise abruptly from the
valley to elevations ranging
#from 5000 to 5000 feet, and be-
blind these mountains are the
main range of the Rockies, the
continental divide.
Since the climate of the Flat
Ehead valley differs materially
Efrom that of surrounding Sec
! tions, it can be attributed prin-
cipally to the above Topographic
cal features.
Cold Kept Out
The rugged mountains to the
least form an effective barrier
! to large majority of the severe
cold waves that sweep down
over Montana during the winter
months from Alberta. They also
assure frequent and beneficial
rains during the spring and early
summer months, since their
crests are usually snow covered
! into June, which cools the mois-
ture laden westerly winds OF
that period.
Lakes Cool Summer
In addition tn Flathead lake,
the valley also contains four
smaller lakes, three rivers and
several streams. The presence
of these bodies of water tend to
moderate the temperature, par
ticularly during the summer and
fall months. During the late fall
and winter months frequent fog
forms, and the length Of the
winter is somewhat determined
on whether Flathead lake freezes
over or not. It usually does not.
Winds Are Gentle
The mountains to the north
and west have a tendency to re-
duce the velocity of the prevail
ing winds which are. from the
west and northwest. This is a
section of less wind.
The entire valley is divided
INTO small farms, producing
grain, hay, dairy products, fruit
and garden truck. The surround
ing mountains are mostly cover
20 with forests.
winter Temperatures Moderate
While the mean average tenn
perature of 43 degrees does not
seem high, it is more the result
Vi lack of long periods of I'M
usually high temperature rather
'nan that of a generally cool eli
mate. The coolest average tenn
perature is that of January with
al average of 20.4 degrees; (edi-
WI comment: Glasgow, eastern
montana, January average, 9 de-
srees). Warmest month is July
~..h an average of 81 degrees;
Nulasgow July average 70.5 de-
grees).
Sun Shines In Summer
oKies are generally clear dur
.ne the summer and fall months,
WIN an average of about 70 per
s.nt OF the possible sunshine,
"'iile during the winter they are
asuaily cloudy with the average
s s being around 80 per
l. Inc average date of the last
Sualnaglng frost in the spring for
h s valley center is May 4, and
VAC average first frost in the fall,

Editorial Correction

IN THE ISSUE of January 31 The Nome Nugget, our editorial column carried editorial in defense of the Alaska Development Board.
 The second paragraph of the editorial stated that Sen ators O. D. Cochran and Joe Green introduced bill to abolish the Alaska Development Board We have since learned that it Senator Edward D. Coffee, who with Senator Joe Green, introduced the known as S. B. 4, to abolish the Board
 We learn also that other papers in the Territory red the same story that included Senator Cochrans s name in connection with introduction of SB 4.
 It is certainly not policy to criticize unnecessarily falsely and take this rectify the state ment.

 SENATOR VANDENBERG'S apparent disinclina- tion to attend the Moscow meeting of the Council of Foreign Ministers because of demands upon him in the Senate, threatens further to weaken aison between Congress and the State Department This poses real problem for Secretary Marshall
 The Vandenberg-Byrnes combination was happy team The fact that one Republican and the other Democrat made little difference They talked the language. Working together, they made bipartisan foreign policy thing of real meaning.
 Having been senator, MT. Byrnes belonged to the lodge advantage Secretary Marshall does not enjoy The general got along we'll with Congress as chief of staff of the army But he was respected military ex- pert dealing with civilians His present relationship Congress is altogether different Nearly every member

RELIEF FOR GOLD AND SILVER MINE OPERATORS

The Senate Judiciary Commit tee has reported favorably upon Senator McCarran's bill providing for suspension of enforcement of certain obligations against the op- orators of gold and silver mines who have been forced to cease op- erations because of the existence of any law or regulation of the fed eral government.
 The bill provides that any oper- ator, who because of the unavail- ability of supplies and equipment is unable to continue operation of his silver or gold mine and thus fulfill any contract to purchase such property or requiring the performance of certain work on his property, may appeal to United States district court for re-.

of that body regards himself authority inter- national affairs
 So in his new role Secretary Marshall must make his case before critical jury most of whom have precen- ceived convictions on every issue.
 With the new Republican majority, responsibility for foreign policy has become virtually coequal between the Senate and the State Department.
 If Senator Vandenberg finds inexpedien to partic pate in the German and Austrian negotiations at Mos COW, Secretary Marshall will need new Republican adviser of high caber and availability, who has the confidence of the Republican majority We think Of no one who would fill the void quite well as John Foster Dulles.
 Mr. Dulles has participated in the development of the United Nations His knowledge of the German and Aus tran problems is perhaps equal to that of Senator Van denbergs. Not being senator he would not be expect ed to have the influence in that body. But Secre tary Marshall remedy that deficiency by improving his own Congressional contacts.
 It is the secretarys Mo- problem to operate in har- mony and understanding with the Senate's Republican majority His iri his position will be sured in exact ratio to that achievement
 He undoubtedly appreciates this fact and his past performance supports the expectation that he knows how to maintain such cooperation.

LINCOLN'S BIRTHDAY
Peace Through Democracy
(The Denver PoSt)

THE UNITED STATES army is cast in d new role. It's script has been rewritten The change has come about result of the country acceptance of the inspiring responsibility of trying to lead the world to permanent peace.
 Rather than concerning itself only with national de- fense and plans for the next war when and if it the army has undertaken the more fundamental task trying to stop the next war before it begins.
 No one appreciates the significance of this new con cept of the army function better than Secretary of War Robert F. Patterson, who addressed Denver uni verSity patrons recently No could be better quail fled to direct the army in this task.
 Instead of ratting swords and talking jngoism, as secretary of might be expected to do Patterson is advocating putting into practice-the doctrine Of seeking peace through worldwide education in demo- cratic processes
 Overseas the army is making, through education, vital contribution to peace he told his Denver audi T refer to the education in the democratic way of life of 100 million Germans and Japanese only recent ly the antisocal followers of Hitler and the Npponese lords.
 Nothing will do more to secure the peace won at such great cost in lives and treasure than putting those peoples the road to decent responsible memberships in the family of nations.
 The army is doing it's best to nstil in those peoples not only understanding of the forms of democracy but devotion to the substance of democracy, respect for the importance and integrity of the individual.
 There is point in minimizing the difficulties, but if succeed in ths well on the road to peace believe that the man, matter what country he belongs to, is not likely to involve his country in of aggression provided he has sufficient informa- tion and freedom of choice"
 The world needs more mtarsm of Secretary Patter- sons kind the kind which recognizes that the ideologies with which fill their minds are more important than the contents of the Infantry Drill Regulations "The Manual of Arms and the Articles of War"

900 be'appropriated for the roads improvement.
 This amount represents a re- quest originally sought but elim- mated by the Bureau of the Bud get and is supplemental request which increases the appropriation as.led for construction and main- .enance of roads, bridges and rails in the Territory from $3,753,- 600 to $4,353,0O0.
 It is hoped that the Fairbanks Livengood road can be improved this year as part of the Interior apartments five-year road con- Struction plan for development of heretofore inaccessible portions of Alaska. Ultimately, it is planned to extend the road to the Yukon River in order to provide access to points located on the river for freight carried by The Alaska Raiload, thus eliminating the ship ment of freight via the Panama River Freight shipment on the Panama acording to the Interior Department, is becoming increas- ingly more difficult because of sitting conditions of the river.

 delegate Bartlett has made s.. ong representations to the Pres 4Lent urging exclusion of Alaska rom a recent War Department or der eliminating the 25 per cent salary differential paid to depend ent employees of the department who reside with the head of a fam fly employed by another federal government agency.
 The order was promulgated, ac- cording to information given Dele gate Bartlett, largely to provide such a limitation in occupation areas overseas because it was felt that dependents needed no induce ment to work for the War Depart ment so long as by so doing they would be able to join members of their families.
 Declaring that the order is d clear violation of the Presidents instructions, to which all govern ment departments agreed, that un- til permanent government pol icy IS established the policy of pay ing 25 per cent differential would remain in effect, Delegate Bartlett stated the order "repre- sentS unilateral determination of the War Department which should be immediately reScinded insofar as it affects Alaska.
 The Presidents instructions were issued in 1945 with the re- quest that cost-of-living survey be made. The Bureau of the Bud get and the Civil Service Commis- sion arc now cooperating to ar rive at settled permanent policy. , Delegate Bartlett also pointed out that preliminary studies issued by the two agencies recognized that the conditions in Alaska are unique. He also pointed out that the 25 per cent differential paid in Alaska is in recognition of the ex- cessive high cost of living and is not paid as an "inducement" to
