State to OK Land
Purchase in Park

A few eastern Montana stock
men senators seem to be the only
onposition in Helena this week tt
massage of house bill No. 300 tina
will enable federal government
purchase of the last 10000 acres
of state-owned land in Glacier ma
tional park.
Sentiment at first was for pass
age of another bill appropriating
S2S1,5OO of stae funds to match
S2S1, 500 of federal money made
available by congress for buying
these 10000 acres. In the states
case it would mean just transfer
of S2S1,5 500 from one fund to the
other.
However thought developed in
Helena that after all, the 10000
acres should be part of Glacier,
but the federal government al
ready owner of 1871 per cent of
Flathead county and 1916 of Gla-
cier county, ought to be willing
to pay a full and fair price for
more land. There's a factor of
more tourist benefits in all this,
but less tax revenue.
In the interest of Uncle Sam
raising his anti, Senators Muir
ray and Ecton, Congressman
Mansfield and D'Ewart have been
contacted.
The enabling act should soon
be law, and when congress deems
it fit to pay for the timbered acres
it will join Glaciers other million
acres.
The stockmen senator's they've
L peeve about grazing on federal
and. 1t has nothing to do with
Glacier, but it may keep them
rom voting yes.

February Improves;
No Floods Here Yet

February nears its end in tht
Flathead with warmer days ant
precipitation more than norma,
The month that started cold j.:
making amends.
Average precipitation for Kalis-
pen reports Observer Ray Hall
is Ill for the whole month. Sc
far this February the figure is
1.28, and at Bolton nearly twice
as much.
This late February is bringing
comments of "good". Though the
Flathead river is only up about
foot, a thaw now means less
snow water runoff later.
Future flood dates can be fore
cast by these south fork readings.
Last spring when the river was
rs feet above low water mark at
the damsite, the flow was 42,O0O
cubic feet per second, May D.;
1947s peak was $4,000 on May 9;
1888, $4,000, June 16; 1927, $4,000
June 10 and 1913, the other flood
year, $4,000 June 4.
Last year the main Flathead
at Columbia Falls had a peak flow
of about 10000 cubic feet pc,
second.
Estimate is that when Hungry
Horse dam is completed it will
aold back enough water to have
caused a nine inch drop in last
Jear's disastrous crest at Portland

Union Keeps Jobs
For Local Labor

A union and wage agreement
was reached this week between
the Northwestern district council
Of carpenters, the Equity Sup
ply Co. and the o. M. Seaton
contractor.
Seaton held a contract for more
than $4,000 to repair the Kalis-
pell elevator. He is specialist in
this work, but non-union, and it
was felt he was importing laboring
men from east of the mountains.
The Union wanted local men to
get jobs wherever possible, regu-
Lar union wages and working con-
ditions.
A five hour round table discus
sion settled it. Most of Seatons
crew will be local men.

Fish Fly.
/Thor7oidee r1pcfinicorris

fChGulOideS pecttntcOrntS.)
Have you ever studied the hand
some lures created to attract the
attention of fighting fish? Where
do the manufacturers get their
models? The favorite bait for bass
is one of the ugliest creatures of the
stream. I refer to the Telegram
mite, conniption bug or fiip-flap,
offspring of the Dobson fly. Also
the spiny fish fly larvae.
The fish fly Is q large insect
that hutters about on lacy brown
wings. Her wing expanse is three
and q half inches and she wears
two long feathery antenna on one
side of her head, giving her q
f1irtatious expression as her large
black button eyes gaze fearlessly
into yours. She never partakes Of
food or drink, her span Of life short,
filled with maternal responsibilities.
Unlike her cousin, Madam Dobson
who seeks only clear streams with
rapids, this relative prefers streams
where sluggish waters flow. She
futters to the leaves overhanging
the water to fasten her 1000 to
1000 reddish-brown oval eggs. She
even peppers stones that overhang
the stream.
In due course, minute spiny worms
step out and drop into the water
below. Here they remain for many
months as aquatic hunters. Lurk-
ing under stones or clinging to sub
merged logs they get oxygen through
their gills and grow to . length
of an inch and q half. The lower
end Of their body Is spiny, these
hunters make life most unhappy for
soft bodied defenseless neighbors.
There comes q day when life In
the stream is over. Slowly the
bristly worm creeps up the stream
bank. He stubbor11ly hunts for a
stone, or log under which to hide.
II these are lacking he digs into
the soft earth. Finally he emerges
with pair of feathers on one side
Of his head which accounts for the
MANS Comb Horned Fish Fly. The

Nv Word for 1t
Frank Colby

Filet migon in French is: fee
LEH-meen-YAW(N). The Standard
American pronunciation is: FILL
ay-meen-YON.
Fallacy. The first syllable Of the
word fallacy (fall-) suggests the
word fall. This leads some people to
pronounce fallacy as 'FAWL-us-
see." But fall and fallacy are not
related. Be sure to rhyme the first
syllable of fallacy with pal, gal,
thus: FAL-uh-see.
Fallacious is: fuh-LAY- -shuss.
Facade. The word facade. "the
principal face of q building" Is
heard variously as "fuh-sAYD, fuh-
KAYD, FAY-sayd."
The word facade Il from the
French. The. &C" has Q cedilla "a
little tail-like mark under It, giving
&c" the sound Of S." The only
sanctioned English pronunciation is:
fuh-SAHD; or fa-SAHD (the first
"a" nat as In fad).

Pronunciation Clinic.

Forehead. Dictionary consensus
strongly favors forrid or forred
Two or three, however, list fore
he'd as second OF third choice. II
is my belief that fore-hed is rapidly
gaining ground in America. It may
soon prevail; perhaps it already pre-
walls. At any rate, fore-hed cannot
be held as wrong II the people want
1t that way, for f-o-r-e-h-e-a-d
certainly spells fore-hed doesn't it?
Centrifugal. Centrifugal Is one Of
the most frequently mispronounced
words In American usage. Almost
everyone says "sen-TRIF-i-kI." But
not that the third syllable Is "-u-,'
and the last syllable is "-gal."
Better say: sen-TRN-yoo-g1; or:
sen-TRIF-uh-g1.
Filet.-Fillet. Then French word
for filet has q number Of meanings,
among them is, - piece Of lean
meat without bone; fiat slice OF
fish without bone" The French
pronunciation is: fee-LEH.
Now filet entered English In two
forms: filet and fillet. Ordinarily
fillet Is pronounced FILL-it. But
when fillet Is used In designating
meat or fish, the customary pro-
nunciation Is: fill-AY; or: FILL-ay.
And filet also is pronounced: hll-
Az, pr: F1IL-ay.
