ironical, aphoristic style: is dis
illusioned about nearly everyone

witty; satire is his speciality;
when he appears to be utterly
naive he is actually making
parody on something; he is by no
means representative of Danish
poetry, but rather a distinct type

A patrol plane was used Sunday

Irrigoting Fields
BY SPrinkIing

The Western News Scribe and
family inspected the field sprink-
ling system belonging to Howard
Ramlo, while it was in operation
at the William H. Boothman raRch
three and one-half miles up the
Kootenai on State Highway 81.
The system includes 80 large
sprinklers with 1900 feet of pipe
and the water was being pumped
from the river, a V8 Ford motor
supplying the power. The plant
has a capacity of 400 gallons per
minute and when the Western News
reporter saw it, was furnishing
needed water on an alfalfa field.
Two inches of water is evenly dis
tributed every two hours over the
area under irrigation.
Before going to the Boothman
ranch the sprinkllng system was
used on the Hugh Slauson wheat
farm a few miles east of Libby,
where water was also pumped from
the river The equipment is be-
inc used on a number of nearby
fields.

.0pen Letter TO
Editor Tells
of Road Wis.

Logging trucks hauling on High
way No. in the Libby Troy area
have been weighed repeatedly the
last two weeks of June and the
first of July. WHY? The highway
is in as good shape as it ever has
been. In previous years the High
way Department never weighed in
the summer time, the only time
small logging and pole operators
can operate. Why should this year
be an exception?
On a recent trip to Kalispell and
Helena the writer saw many loads
of logs and poles that were ap-
parently overweight. They were
ordinary loads of (6) to Cd thous-
and board feet They we're the
kind of loads we would like TO haul
in this area. On the trip over and
back the only weigh station we saw
in operation was the one south Of
Libby on Highway No 2 where the
trucks we met were only hauling
a small portion of the loads we en-
codntered around Kalispell and
other areas. Why should we get
all the attention with the scales?
There is a provision in the High
way Law of Montana that gives the
State Highway Commission and To-
cal authorities the right to grant a
90 months permit to haul loads
exceeding size and weight of the
regular prescribed law. This pro-
vision may be found in section
l751.6 entitled Permits for excess
size and weight, of Law relating to
size and weight Of motor vehicles
l751.6 to 1880 Revised Codes of
Montana 1885, as amended by
Chapter 1874, Session Laws of 1899,
as amended by Chapter 1913, Ses-
sion Laws of 1947
The State of Idaho has a similar
provision in their law They state,
however, that loads of logs, poles
or piling may be transported in
operation by motor We
hicles in excess of width, length,
and weight This may be found in
House Bill No. 12l. House of Repre-
sentatives. Our neighboring state
realized that something had to be
done for the loggers in order to
allow them to make a living with
out violating the law
! have asked why the scales were
in this area. Here is
the answer. The Highway Main
senance Engineer in Helena told US
one of the reasons. He stated that
the Highway Department had re-
ceived vigorous protests from this
area against the size Of the loads
being hauled here. Are there people
in our midst protesting to the Capt.
tol against the major industry in
his area? Why must anyone try TO
deprive others of their means Of
ivlihood?
We all know that in order to
make a success of transporting logs
,r poles to the mill or yard, trucks
must haul a fair sized load Lets
leep after the Highway Department
o issue the necessary permits
which they have been authorized
