a % by 50-foot first aid station,
a % by 82-foot guest house with
six sleeping rooms, a lounge and
kitchen.
To house $50 men each, three
120 by 24-foot on a side, double
winged, two-story dormitories are
underway. Four more dormitories
will be built next year. Founda-
tons are being poured this week
for six two-bedroom houses with
the expectation that so houses IN
all will be built.

system for the new town 80 per

xcavation for Dam Will Start In July

Excavation for abutments of
520-foot high Hungry Horse dam,
to be the worlds fourth largest of
concrete will start in July.
Official ceremony marking start
of Hungry Horse dam construct
ion is Saturday, July 10.
Announcement on the source of
the 100000 cubic yards of sand
and gravel needed to build the
dam is expected within 80 days.
A Wednesday and Thursday
conference between contractors
officials and government repres-
entatives was mainly concerned
with gravel and concrete.
Under consideration as gravel
sources were: Hungry Horse creek
deposits on government land in the
reservoir area just above the DAM
site. The hauling factor on this
gravel is less, but containing more
clay it will need additional wash
ing. Plan is to start backing up
water in the reservoir over the
Hungry Horse creek deposits be-
fore the dam is completed. If US
ed from this source, stock piling
of about 1,OOO,O 100000 cubic yards
would be necessary.
Other gravel under consider
alton is just west of Bad Rock
canyon, two miles from Columb-
ia Falls where the contractor now
holds options. A standard gauge
rail line would likely be built to the
damsite about seven miles distant.
This gravel would need less wash
ing and require no stockpiling. In
formation is that landowners III
this area are not driving the con-
tractors elsewhere by land infla-
ton.
1t is possible that gravel proc
essing plants would be establish
ed at both locations. However gra-
vel operations will not get fully
underway until next year.
Possibility of contractors
rail spur from Coram and the
Great Northern main line has been
practically eliminated. Reason is
believed to be the high prices wan
ted by Coram landowners for the
right-of-way. Location of the ce-
ment unloading plant is now sche-
duled for west of Coram.

Park Travel Looks
Up as Floods Ebb

Glacier national park expects
its travel to return to normal this
weekend with flood waters finally
within stream banks on the high
plains and in the Pacific coast
states.
May and early June travel into
Glacier was considerably above
last year, up an estimated so per-
cent. However coast floods to the
west and then blocking of highway
No. 2 by heavy rains last week
end in the Browning-Cut Bank
sector on the east reduced the
number of vacationers.
Indicator of what is to come
was last Sunday when the park S
west entrance (Belton) counted
2,231 visitors Including 1851
from Montana) for it's best day
since last July 4, when 1866 came
through Bolton. Browning flood
waters slowed st. Mary entrants
to 440.
Registrations at cabins and no.
tells in the park are at record high
for July and August, and offic-
ials expect that with flood wat
ers down, the 1913 travel will
start heading toward last years
all-time record of 324, 1896.
Increased travel into the area
and park has been noted as the
result of Hungry Horse dam con-
struction. The damsite is a 20
minute drive from the park.
