GSM Employment
To Reach 800

Employment by the prime con-
tractor on Hungry Horse dam,
General Shea Morrison will level
off late this month at about 800
men.
This is 200 more men than Was
predicted in May, and will bring
total employment this first sum-
mer of building the worlds fourth
largest concrete dam to about
1,4O0 with weekly payroll of
100000
Next summer total employment
will reach 5000.
The General Shea Morrison
weekly payroll Thursday was $64,-
1904 with 725 men working. This
week bureau of reclamation en-
ployes averaged 223; Askevold

ing service, So; F. R. Hewett, IS;
r and S Construction, 125; S.
Birch and Sons, IA; Modern Con-
struction and Fabrication, 9. and
Minneapolis Tank, 4.
There is a rapid inflow of con-
struction men to the area. The
employment picture up to now
has been good. Men arriving here
after September will have diff
icult time finding employment
since each winter sees about 300
men, who work in the woods, being
! laid off.
Contracts held at Hungry Horse
include: Askevold, S468, 27O.O9 for
government town buildings; Fl

GSM to Complete Gravel Tests

General Shea Morrison, Hungry
Horse dam prime contractors, are
now testing gravel deposits on the
Rev. f. H. Davis acreage near the
junction of the Flathead river and
its south fork.
Tests have also been made of
deposits just east of Bad Rock
CANYON along the river (near Co.
lumbia Falls. The bureau of rec
lamation, previously had tested
another possible gravel source at
the mouth of Hungry Horse creek
in the reservoir area.
Approximately 100000 cubic
wards of sand and gravel; $780,
900 barrels of cement and 100000
tons of pozzolan (fly ASH will be
used in building the dam, the
worlds fourth largest built of
concrete. Estimate is that it will
require 10000 freight carloads of
cement.
Under consideration if the gra-
vel is hauled from the Davis or
Bad Rock deposits to the damsite
is a four to seven-mile long rail-
road spur, a conveyor system or
trucks.
Final word on the source of
gravel for the dam is expected by
early September. A large gravel
washing and screening plant will
be erected starting this fall.

Most Popular Glacier
Blonde Is Bear And
Light CoIored Cubs

Most popular blonde in Glacier
national park this year is a light
colored young bear with two cubs.
Blonde belt of beardom is ap-
parently a section of Glacier ma
t.onal park just below the contin-
entail divide and between the Gar
den Wall and Avalanche creek.
Here the blondes outnumber the
brown, dark brown and blacks.
This is the area frequented by
the Hght-colored bear family who
after roadside handouts are now
causing daily traffic jams of va
cationers along Going-to-the-Sun
highway. The blonde mother has
one cream-colored twin, believed
to be the lightest ever observed
in the park.
Last year outstanding among
blonde bears who frequented the
Garden Wall to Avalanche section
was Gertie, most photographed an
imal in the park.
Glacier has about 400 black
bears which actually includes the
blondes, cinnamon, browns and
blacks, and about 100 grizzly,
seldom seen by man. Actually a
brown mother may have a CHM
anon and black cub, indications
over the years are that bears
along the Garden Wall are light
err more blondes.

Po|ebridge Bridge
Finally Says Out

An emergency situation exists
up the Flathead rivers north fork
as the result of the Wednesday
evening closing of the rustic bridge
at Polebridge.
Now to reach Bowman and Kin
tia lakes, vacationers must use
the less desirable road from Bel
ton. Especially Inconvenience are
residents of tn forest service side
of the river including several
dude ranch and cabin camp de-
velopments. Their guests, a mile
from the park, must now make
an 80-mile detour to actually en-
ter the vacationland by car.
There is also a factor that the
only fire truck in the area is
at Polebridge on the park side.
Closing of the bridge resulted
from a sagging on the park side.
The structure is maintained by
the park and county with the coun-
tvs side in better repair.
Apparently the park does not
have funds for a new bridge, but
Officials hope that some way may
be found to erect temporary
structure.

Board Will Set
New Tax Levies
HUNGRY HORSE NEWS PHOTO

Flathead county tax levies will
be set Monday by the county COM
missioners acting as the board of
equalization.
Of considerable help in running
the county is the property value
increase of II per cent in the
past year from S3S,49O,713 to SAB
1890 with the tax value up from
S11. SIT, 999 to S12,831,339.
Effective July 1, all county sa-
laries except for elective officials
were raised 10 per cent. Schools
and roads will be given more sup
port, much of which can come
from increase in tax values rather
than increased levies.
