Late Thursday Lightning
Causes Scattered Fires

} Five lightning fires, all appar-
emily under control, were started
in the F1athead national Forest
by the late Thursday storm. Two
were up the Middle Fork, and
three in the South Forks Spotted
Bear district. Eight lightning
strikes and flareups, that have
not developed into fires, were re-
ported in Glacier national park.
Smoke haze in the valley is be-
lieved to come from large fires
in Idaho.
Favored by the wettest June
on record, the 212 million acre,
Flathead national forest is term
ed in excellent shape" by Supv.
F. J. Neitzling. However, he war
ned continued warm weather will
increase the fire danger. Eight
forest fires, destroying little tim
Der, have already been put out
this year.
Last summer and fall, the twice
as-large as the state of Rhode
Island, forest had rs fires includ-
ing IA man-caused and 81 by
lightning. Only 100 acres OF TIM
Der was burned.
Worst fire is considered the
man-caused Half Moon blaze that
destroyed 100000 acres in 1929.
Bad year was 1910 when $50 fires
343 lightning caused broke out
in the forest to destroy 5,063 &C
res In 1884, ITO fires destroyed
9,706 acres.
Forest service officials like to
think of 1912 when man caused
but fires and lightning, 10, to
burn Just IL acre in all. Man has
already caused six fires in the
forest this year.

Log Building Restores
Touch of Old Montana

A touch of old Montana is re-
turning to highway No. 2 near
Martin City.
Nearing completion is the re-
erection of a rambling log build
ing being constructed by Joe VIE
denig for his Junk shop with
antiques" a specially.
The logs for the building were
hand hewn by Gaspard Martin,
after whom Martin City is named,
nearly SO years ago, and erected
into a cabin on the old Peck
place by Gaspard's son, Adolph,
and Victor Lundholm, about IS
years ago.
Now Martin and Lundholm have
hand hewn new logs to serve as
foundations for the same logs pre-
pared by them when the century
was young.
Working on the building are
John Stone and Charles Lehr.

Budget Outlining
Nears Completion

Preliminary budget for Flat
head county expenditures (and
taxes) is expected to be compile
ted by Monday. The county COM
missioners will then set a date
for public hearing on the bud
get.
The Hungry Horse News has
had unofficial information to the
effect that though county expen-
ditures will increase, the mil le-
Wy for county purposes is not
likely to go up. Taking care of the
higher costs will be the new bull
dings and 81 new plats divided
into tracts and lots during the
year.
Sharpest raise in local taxes will
be noticed in respect to schools,
mostly as a result of raising sa-
laries in most parts of the county
to Montana Educational associa-
ton standards now general in
the state.
No definite information is av-
ailable as to mil levies in the
three incorporated communities,
Kalispell, Whitefish and Columbia
Falls.
However residents will find
next year that taxes are higher
just as are wages, food, clothing
and living costs now over year
ago.

million acre recreational area in
1916.
Approximately 5000 persons a
day are now entering the park as
compared with just under 1000
a day last season.
Part of the influx is the result
of highway No. 2 being closed
for construction leaving the parks
Going-to-the-Sun highway a con-
venient though unofficial detour.
Highway No. 10 is official detour.
However rail travel into Glacier
is running IS per cent ahead of

ries.

ed as compared with 1882 a year
ago, and on Sunday, July 6, it
was 5,816 practically twice the
year ago figure of 2,467.
There were no bear bites or
serious car accidents reported to
mar July 4th weekend vacation
ing. High temperatures in the
park were in the low Dos as a
heat wave swept across the prai-
ries. Many cars stopped at Logan
pass, highest point on the 50-mile-
long Going-to-the-Sun highway
so that snow balls could be thrown
in July.
Flathead national forest Off
Gals also reported heaviest ira
vel in history" over the weekend.

Green Asks Senate Probe
Of Poll Tax Voting Laws

The Senate committee investigat.
ing the Kansas City vote fraut cast
has been requested to make "ful
and complete" investigation of the
voting and franchise laws in sever
States where payment of poll tax
Is prerequisite for voting. 49,
The request was made by John
Locke Green, Arlington Republican
leader and longtime advocate Of
poll tax abolition. Mr.. Green called
the attention of the committee t<
the contest placed before the Senate
by Lester S. Parsons.
Mr.. Parsons. Republican, was
defeated by Senator Byrd. Democrat
of Virginia, last fall. In the contest
before the Senate, it is charged that
the Virginia election laws are un-
constitutional because of the poll
tax and other reasons.
IF you are going to, have an in
vestigation, which Is highly proper" "
Mr.. Green wrote the committee,
why not have full and complete
one, even though it might involve
the election of a sitting member OF
the United States Senator"
