Most of the business houses o.

Thursday of this week to permit
attendance of p%roprietors and en-

fair by Laurel people probably will
mean that the city will present a
rather deserted appearance that
day.

and Nh. Harmon were low.
Mrs. Beatrice Miller gave a
party last Thursday evening at the
Void home on First avenue in
honor of Miss Coiletta Kurtz and
Lillian Scheidecker, who are leav-
ing this week for school. They de-
parted this morning, Miss Kurtz
for Los Angeles to attend the Cali

Gets LoWdoWn on
Airplune FLIGHTS

Airplanes flying over Kennewick
must lily at an altitude of 1000
feet to keep within the state law.
That was the information Mrs.
M. L. Kipps of 1927 Columbia
Avenue got when she wrote into
the grange news "Mr. Askme"
editor.
Mrs. Kipps' request for infor-
nation was: "What are the laws
in regard to airplanes flying
over towns and cities in Wash
ington? How high above the
ground must they fly? What is
the law in regard to airplane
pilots roaring and racing their
motors over cities and towns?"
The reply was as follows:
"Civil Aeronautics Administra-
ton regulations, generally follow
ed by state laws, require planes
to fly at a minimum of 500 feet
elevation except over congested
areas, when they must maintain
at least 1000 feet elevation. Other
safe flying attitudes are pre-
scribed as depending upon wea-
Their, terrain, presence OF high
structures and other special cir
cumstances. Plane motor noise is
supposed to be governed by CAA
inspection and approved of all
flying equipment. No stunt flying
is permitted over congested area,
and only at $500 feet or more
over non-congested areas"

though there have been substan-

of employees at the Hanford
Project (about 1000 men are re-
ported to have been terminated
since the first of the year,, 1t
has not resulted in any appreciable
reduction in revenues or killowatt
hours sold. Decreases have been
no greater than those caused by
seasonal load characteristics. Bus
mess activity and plans for new
housing seem to have been little
effected by the layoff's at Han
ford. Requests for electric service
are only slightly less than last
year at this time"
''Net income latter all operat-
ing and income deductions) a.
mounted to $22,568.83 for the
two-month period covered by
this report, which is an eleven per
cent increase over the same per-
100 last year.
Total killowatt hours sold dur
ing the two-month period ending
April 80, 1949 amountd to 8,242,-
543, decrease of 8 percent from
the preceding two months and
"A percent greater than the Kill
owatt hours sold during the same
period last year.
"There were 173 requests for
service received during the two
month period and tire were 265
new services connected. The
backlog of applications has been
reduced during the past two
month period and there were 265

The Phalens
Let's drop in on Lii and Johnny
Phalen and their two children, Am
brose, a boy of IL named after
his Irish grandfather who home
steaded on the present ranch head
quarters, and his sister, age 8.
The Phalens live As miles from
Havre and 43 miles from both Big
Sandy and Chinook. Their nearest
mail box is five miles down the
road, and the mailman comes but
three times a week. Last winter
they spent four months snow
bound.
Mrs. Phalen teaches the two chill
dren, using extension courses from
t1tC S1ty VI IIOllto1los LII tOoto

in with "a" grades. But the Pha-
lens want a balance between high

high up on one side. They call it
"Kid Curry's hideout." In about the
1905 Kid Curry was doing rather
well for himself at what some con-
sidered naughty games, and he
holed up in the Little Rockies.
In about 1901 he relieved the
Great Northern railroad of a few
thousand in gold bullion in a raid
just west of Malta. Since then he
hasn't been what you would cal
"underfoot." The story goes that he
Montana farmer-stockman., 1949-08-01
Cattle Tracks ON Bears Paw

used this cave on the Phalen ranch
for some time after the Great North
ern party.
If it was Kid Curry up there on
the mountain side, and if grand
father Ambrose Phalen did know
he was there, then it's unlikely he
would have been passing the word
around too freely, insurance sales
men being scarce out there in those
days. City folk like to hear the story
anyway.
All Decided Land
Ambrose Phalen married the niece
of a nearby neighbor. With his own
homestead and those which she filed
on, they started a ranch. AS fast
as an adjacent h~omesteader lost his
stake, made his stake, or moved on
from sheer loneliness, the Phalens
bought them out, threw their fences
around the new area and added a
few more cows to the breeding herd.
That has gone on over the years
until now their ranch consists of
1900 acres. Eleven original home
steads make up the present hold
ings. That in itself is the story of
the Bears Paw, the land is owned
and the owners can build for the
future as they want,
Indian reservation land lies on
either end of the Bears Paw area,
and there is some leasing of land.
Aside from this the land is indie
pendently owned and operated by
men who live on the ranches.
After talking to the Phalens at
the end of the road, and to Jim
Barber. D. l.. dam Murphy. Bud
Spencer, Tom and Warren Ross and
many others in the heart of this
famous COW country, l found that
one story of their operation and
management would tell it all. Let's
take a composite of them all, a little
from each to tell the whole.

REA Men Spend
 Lest Week in Fairbanks

D. T. Lowery and Everett J. RauShenberger of the local REA office spent last week in Fair banks. The men went north on Tuesday and stayed until Satur- day to witness the ceremony at the University of Alaska on Emeritus Day.
 MT. Lowery reported that a scheduled strike of miners of the F. E. Company, which supplies almost all of the power used outside of Fairbanks central business district. was postponed. The strike originally had been set for June 30, but negotiations are now in progress and it is believed the strike may be averted.
 Should the strike have Oc- cured, virtually the entire city of Fairbanks would have been left without power.
 The Golden Valley Electric Coop, REA power cooperative in Fairbanks, still is in the con- struction phases of it's power program.
