NATIONAL FOREST BOARD
OF REVIEW NAMED

Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
Up. Anderson has announced the
establishment of a National Forest
Board of Review composed of
private citizens to advise his office
in the solution of problems arising
in connection with use by the public
|of the national forests and other
land under the administration and
control of the Forest Service.
The Board also will be called up
on to advise on the disposition of
appeals to the Secretary by forest
users, such for example as the live
stock interests which run cattle and
sheep on national forest ranges in
the western states, from decisions
by the Chief of the Forest Service
affecting their operations.
Secretary Anderson announced he
had appointed as members of the
Board DR.. Jonathan Forman of
Columbus, Ohio; Prof. Gilmour B.
Macdonald, head of the Depart
ment of Forestry, Iowa State Col
lege, Ames, Iowa; and DR.. Roland
Roger Renne, President of Montana
State College, Bozeman, Montana;
and that all three had accepted.
The advisory group is appointed
by the Secretary on the basis of
personal competence and not as the
representatives of any group or or
ganization interested in the use of
national forest land. Members must
have no financial interest in the
use of this land. The Board will
meet at the call of the Secretary and
will be paid salary or per diem
allowances for actual time served.
The establishment of the National
Forest Board of Review to advise
the Secretary will not interfepe
with the functioning of hundreds
of local grazing advisory boards
now operating on ranger districts
and forests in the western states.
According to Secretary Anderson,
these are playing an important part
in assuring sound management of
national forest range land.

The Flood

Saturday residents along the Koo-
tenai began to be apprehensiVe a
bout the rapid rise of the river but
as the rains continued and the
river rose higher and higher the
people began to get their things
in order to move. First in the
danger zone was the Clyde Fauley
home and gardens. On Monday he
moved his chinchillas and furniture
and with the water tapping at the
| back door they decided to move.
MahlOn Drury was among the first
to go to higher ground. The Gene
Carr residence which they left ear
lier is surrounded by water with
swift current Budd Carr who
recently moved his house never
took it off the skids but moved
again.
Army engineers from Bonner's
Ferry came in and run a survey
line. 1t was their suggestion that
dixie be raised from the Blanchard
residence to the river to hold the
flow of water above there. This
proved to be out of the question
when the owners of the ground that
WOu4u necessarily nave TO supply
the earth refused to allow dozers to
work on their property. However
a small dixie was built with sand
bags which until Tuesday noon was
holding the water. Before this is
printed it will be sadly out of date
for the picture on the water front
changes with the hour.
Several of the men from town
and those directly affected by the
water are working with the assist
ance of the high school boys to
maintain a sand bag wall along
the river bank from the Tubbs home
down to the Slice place where
there is so much water that Mr..
Slice is using a boat to get from
building to building.
The Drury pole yard has a sheet
Of water extending over two thirds
of it. This is coming in from the
Kootenai along the low bank.
The damage to property todate
IS slight except in the cases of the
Fauley home and greenhouse, and
the Gene Carr residence but it is

Fishing

Sunday morning dawned with
rain cOpiously falling. This was
enough to dampen the spirits as
well as the person of the most
ardent follower of Issac Walton. To
the adult fisherman in the Troy
area this did not mean so much
anyway for due to the heavy rains
on the preceding days the streams
were not in state to be fished.
That left only lakes and contin-
Uously all day Saturday there were
reports that this lake or that lake
was inaccessible because of washed
out bridges or water over roads.
Kilbrennan Lake where it has
been the custom for anglers to camp
the night before to be ready at
crack of dawn was out of the cues
ton.
Many of the most enthusiastic
fishermen contented themselved by
giving a few lessons to their off
spring in the art of casting.
Here IS different story AS eight
o'clock drew near the benign clouds
rolled back half way up the noun
tainside, and loweringly watched
the excited boys and girls assemble
at the Kids Pond which had been
generously stocked with nice sized
fish by the Rod and Gun Club of
Troy.
When the starters whistle blew
nearly a hundred lines splashed in
the water simultaneously and in
just brief moment Teddy Cobble-
dick landed the first fish and the
contest was on. Prizes were Of
fered by the business houses of the
town as well as by some private
citizens.
The judges stand was a busy table
for the first fish required that the
fisherman register to ,be eligible
for prize. Also fish were weigh |
ed and measured and that data care |
fully recorded.
Buddy Basham was so excited |
when he learned he had the big
gest fish to date (there was a %
rifle prize on this one) that when
he went back to better his record |
he leaned over too far and with a
big splash landed head first in the
pond. He was promptly rescued
and wrapped in blanket and con-
tinued for it was rumored that there
were still bigger fish in that pond,
and he "sure wanted that gun"
