Spi|Iway Termed
Worlds Highest

Spillway of the completed Hun
cry Horse dam will be able to car
ry $4,000 second feet of water, OF
5000 more cubic feet than was the
peak flow last May %, near
record.
However, the big 100000 acre
34-mile long reservoir will be cap
able of holding somwhat less than
two complete years flow of the
Flathead rivers south fork.
Nearing completion is excava-
ton of the GLORY hole" type spill
way at the damsite. A bureau OF
reclamation international release
today terms it highest in the
world"
Drilling and blasting the tun-
mel which averages 35 feet in dia-
meter and is 955 feet long has been
Bogles Brothers drilling crews.
The Salt Lake City firm has
GSM subcontract. Tunnel work
started last August %, and requir-
ed removal of about 10000 cubic
feet of rock.
The lower ITO feet of the pre-
sent diversion tunnel will be used
for spillway purposes after the
dam is completed. The entire
length will be lined with 212 feet
of reinforced concrete, and water
not needed for local powerhouse
purposes will drop 400 feet to the
other side of the worlds fourth

NoFurther Word On
Bolton Burglars

Belton-Apgar in its small town
neighborly way was dlsmayed
Wednesday morning.
Safe of the Bolton Mercantile co.
had been blown open apparently
bv professional burglars and ST.
400 stolen.
The money partially covered by
insurance, was to be used Tor
cashing payroll checks. There are
now about IS employees in nearby
Glacier national park; other men
have railroad or Hungry Horse
project payroll checks.
A Friday morning report from
the sheriff's office is no further
developments, though there may
have been q Wednesday leak OF
clues to the burglars.
Sometime between 10 pm.
Tuesday and 8 am. Wednesday,
the thieves pried open the front
door of the store, which incident
ally has night lights on. The safe
was blown with nitro" and laid
open much as taking card off
a deck. Nothing else in the store
was apparently touched, and it
was a neat blast job that didn't
even disturb cobwebs between the
safe and the wall.
Sheriff Dick Walsh reported
that fingerprints looked much
like glove smears, no tools and
little evidence was left.
1t was obviously not the work
of amateurs. They may have had
some sentiment. Left in the safe
was an envelope labeled in big
letters with "Mom'. 1t belonged
to Mrs. Lundgren and contained
about $500.
Folks realize the difficulty that
comes of having no bank in a
own, and there was many a sin
,ere word of regret given to Dave
Thompson, Mr.. Lundgren, Dan
and Everett.

tity?"

cent issue of the Vancouver Sun:

"a Vancouver company, Anal
gamated Oil Company Limited,
has acquired $4,000 acres in the
Flathead Valley, and expects drill
ing on adjacent property to start
this year.
"At the annual meeting held
here, shareholders authorized in
creasing capital to 81 million
from the present SO million, by
creation of one million new shares
at 81 each.
''These, a company statement
says, will probably be "held in
reserve unless or until develop
ment warrant expansion"
Directors elected are: Col. Guy
H. Kirkpatrick, president; DR.. j.
