Just as Stubborn
As Salmon Are
Glacier Sockeyes

Parents that never live long en-
ough to see their young are the
thousands of sockeye salmon that
are now completing their spaw-
ming run at the foot of Lake Nc
Donald in Glacier national park.
The sea to these landlocked SAL
mon is 3O-mile long Flathead lake,
third largest body of fresh water
west of the Great Lakes.
Each fall and just once in their
lives, 10 to 14-inch long five to Sc
ven-year-old mature sockeyes
swim up the Flathead river and
its Middle Fork to Mcdonald
creek ,one of their favored spawn
ing grounds. Here at the foot of
Lake Mcdonald in the park, it
is possible in November and ear
ly December to see a thousand
full-grown salmon in the water
from one spot.
There is a churning of water
here and there where the shovel
nosed male spreads out a spawn
ing bed in the gravel. AS many
as 20 bald and golden eagles have
been observed at one time feeding
on the dying salmon by the parks
chief naturalist, M E Beatty. Fish |
ducks and an occasional coyote |
also frequent the spawning area.
Mature salmon always die af-
.er spawning, and in the summer
here are apparently no records
Of salmon being caught in ten-mile
.ong Lake Mcdonald. The little
sockeyes Matched in the spring
at the foot of a ten-mile-long
axe instead, return to their sea,
Elathead lake.

Study 40-Mi|e Long Hungry Horse Lake

With actual letting of the prime
contract for the 525-foot high Hun
cry Horse dam slated for early
spring, the national forest serv-
ice is completing study of land
utilization in the area.
The entire 40-mile-long, up to
three-miles wide man-made lake
will be within what was national
forest.
Clarence B Sutliff, Cabinet ma
tional forest supervisor, Thomp-
son Falls has been assigned for
two months to work on the prob
lem with Flathead national forest
supervisor, F J Neitzling.
To be studied will be the eff
feet of the big lake on timber ma
nagement and sale, for there is
more than one billion board feet
of merchantable saw timber up
the South Fork. In the reservoir
area itself the bureau of recla-
nation is arranging to clear 80
million board feet under con-
tracts.
Creation of the man-made lake
brings up the need for a road to
be built on the west side of the
reservoir in order to remove ma
tl1re timber land to help in event
of forest fires. AS yet timber on
the west side of the South Fork
has been virtually unexploited.
Other problems effect the NOV
ing of forest service roads and
trails, telephone lines, camp
grounds and work camp buildings
from the reservoir area.
Studies and suggestions will al
so be made as to the effect of the
reservoir on game.

Safety Course Proposal
Considered Not Urgent

At their regular December meet
ing Tuesday, the District 6 school
board heard a proposal by the
Belton-Apgar PTA to start sa-
fety course in the schools inclu-
ding automobile driving instruc-
ton.
The PTA suggested that the
$2,676 received from the sale of
the Bolton Masonic club building,
owned by the school district, be
used to start the course.
In sympathy with the proposal
the board, however, felt there are
school instructional matters more
urgent, including a serious short
age of textbooks. County Attor-
ney Ambrose Measure has been
asked for an opinion, for it IS
believed that the money received
from the sale of a school-oWned
building can only be used to re-
tire debts.

Glacier Park to Try
Herding Surplus Elk
Across Middle Fork
HUNGRY HORSE NEWS PHOTO

Within the next three weeks,
Glacier national park rangers are
scheduled to attempt to drive elk
across the Flathead's Middle Fork
into the Flathead national forest
where hunting season on both
bulls and cows is open until De-
cember 81.
No publicity will be given the
dates of the drive. 1t is believed to
have less than a $3.50 chance of
success ,and animals cannot be dri-
ven into firing line.
With at least 1000 more elk
than its Middle and North Fork
winter ranges will support, the
park must reduce its present es-
timated 1928 elk. There is not
enough winter pasture to keep the
big animals from starving, and
range has been destroyed causing
a reduced number of white tail
deer.
AS a solution the park has sug-
gested that an open season be de-
clared in 1948 on the forest side
of the North Fork. However a
problem common to both North
and Middle Forks is that the elk
prefer the south and west slopes
that are on the park side of the
rivers. Hence the herding expert
ment to be tried this month.
National park tradition estab-
lished when Yellowstone became
a national park in 1872 prevents
hunting within a national park.
cannot, however, maintain
it's present 1928 elk.
With total elk kill for 1947 in
the Flathead about 500 as COM
pared with the 1885 figure for
1916, local sportsmen can be ex-
oected to be much interested in
he Middle Fork development, |
What has been one of the poorest |
hunting seasons on record, may
improve.
