Asks Bus Contracts;
Awords Fuel Supply

The district 6 school board has
set July opening for bids on
three school bus routes. At their
Tuesday evening meeting they
awarded fuel oil contracts for the
next school year.
Bus bids being advertised are
for the Martin City route, now
held by Roy Anders. The Lake
Five to Bolton transportation fur
nished by John Blankenship, and
the northwest Half Moon route
to Columbia Falls driven by Ted
Witty.
The fuel oil awards Tuesday
resulted in Smith Brothers, Col
umbia Falls, getting the No. and
No. contract to supply about
10000 gallons at Is cents a gal
lon.
Oval E with bid placed by
T. j. Landry, Kalispell, was
awarded a contract to supply ap-
proximately 10000 gallons of No. 5
fuel oil as required at ga cents
a gallon.
Legal stumbling blocks appar-
entity are preventing the board
from going ahead and remodeling
the little-used built-in-1935 high
school dormitory into much need
ed classrooms. The board has been
advised that the law prevents an
expenditure of more than $3.50
for such purpose without the state
department of public instruction
approving specifications and plans.
The board May 20 had decided to
remodel part of the dormitory into
three classrooms on a pay as you
go basis, rather than asking for
an additional mill levy.

Mati|das Boxing Cubs Top Park Attraction

propriating the only spot in 33
miles between the west entrance
and Logan pass where red flags
were used to indicate a dip in the
road.
Travellers saw the red flags,
slowed down, and there was Ger
tie. Some of them believed the
flags were courtesy markers by
the park to indicate the favored
spot of the blonde bear. Going
slow, few noticed the dip in the
pavement.
Rated most popular bear family
in Glacier last summer was
cinnamon -colored Goldie and her
one nearly white cub and its twin.
The cub was believed to be the
lightest ever seen in the park. Now
they weigh about hundred
pounds each, and the family some
times together has been seen in
the vicinity of Garden Wall road
camp.

Park Expects Banner Season

Wednesday, June 18th marks the
start of summer season in Glacier
national park. Again more than
quarter of a million visitors are ex-
pected in the vacationland. Last
years near record was 281 1862.
Indication that Glacier will have
a big summer has been the heavy
May travel. Supt. J. w. Emmert
believes this was the parks rec
ord May. Blue skies during the
past month saw an estimated 49,
900 persons visit Glacier compared
to 5000 for May a year ago, when
Idaho floods and wet Montana
skies discouraged travellers.
Roads to and in Glacier are bet
ter this year. Hotels in the park
open Wednesday morning. Most of
the 600 hotel company employees,
many Of them college students, are
now getting visitor accommoda-
tions ready. Manager at nearby
Lake Mcdonald hotel is again Mrs.
Beatrice Erase, while manager for
the company is J. S. Jeffries.
Avalanche, Sprague creek and
East Glacier campgrounds are al
ready accommodating visitors.
Other facilities open are cabin
camps at st. Mary, Bolton, Apgar
and near Essex and Coram.
Mid-June visitors to Glacier will
see 1000 waterfalls as they drive
the 50-mile Going-to- -the-Sun
highway. In all directions melting
SHOWS are sending plumes and cas-
cades of water over sheer rock
cliffs.
On 6,554-foot high Logan pass
itself, there are still 20 to 40 foot
deep snowdrifts. Vacationers will
have the opportunity to take pic
lures alongside the most snow
they've seen this year. It's mid
June and shirt sleeve weather up
there.
Already after handouts are the
park "bum" bears. Most frequent
traffic jam creator is brown bear
called Matilda, who has three ted
dy-bear-Sized cubs. They play
highway bandits for candy and
cookies, but park rangers caution
that bears often bite the hands
that feed them.
From Going-to-the-Sun high
way near Avalanche creek, there
is still an excellent chance of see
ing Rocky Mountain goats on the
almost straight-up sides of Mt.
Cannon.
Most conveniently located to the
highway wildflower display is now
found on the ST. Mary lake mead
oWS.
Starting its organized visitor
program Monday is the Hungry
Horse project where the worlds
fourth largest concrete dam is to
be eight airline miles from Glacier.
Visitor headquarters will be the
information office adjacent to the
office building, and motorists can
drive the four miles to the vista
point overlooking construction ac-
tlvitieS at the damsite itself. It is
new hard-surfaced road.

is warmer and dryer conditions.

Dry Weather Brings
Acre Forest Fire
At Hungry Horse

Drying weather Thursday re-
suited in a one acre forest fire
just below the Hungry Horse dam
site
The blaze started from a clear
ing fire on the Columbia noun
tain side of the river and went in
to green second growth timber. 1t
took 2 hours of fighting by rs
GSM and IS bureau employees to
control.
Helping to prevent more ser
ious fire was quick action by GSM
and bureau men, and a natural
fire break provided by a power
line clearing. An additional favor
able factor was that there was
very little wind at the location.

Jobs Continue
June Climb at
Hungry Horse

Employment at the Hungry
Horse project continued to increase
gradually this week, and is now
more than 1850. 1t will near 1000
late this month with the August
September peak being under 5000.
Arriving this coming week are
about so college engineering stu
dents who for the most part will
be employed by the bureau of re-
clamation as survey aides. Most
of them worked on the project
last summer.
They will help survey boun-
daries of the 34-mile long reser-
voir, and locate future high-water
levels to which timber cutting and
clearing is scheduled. Other sur
vey projects that have been In
progress involve the relocated
Spotted Bear road contracts, and
determinations of rock excavation
quantities at the damsite itself.
General-Shea-M Morrison, prime
contractor, plans to start the lower
cofferdam late this coming week.
An event of late June will be
when the river bed of the Flat
heads south fork is "unwatered"
for the first time. Then excavation
activities will start between the
upper half and lower cofferdams.
The upper cofferdam is to be
built from its present foundations
to a total height of lis feet, and
the lower dam to about 80 feet.
Between these two temporary
dams will rise the 520-foot high
Hungry Horse.
This week also marks the COM
pletion of virtually all concrete
placing for GSM plant founda-
tions. This includes foundations
for the gravel screening. plants,
concrete mixing plant, galloway
and other installations.
About $4,000 cubic yards has been
placed.
400 feet above the riverbed at
the damsite, the 5000 barrel poz-
zolan storage silo and 1000 barrel
cement silo behind the concrete
plant are nearly completed.
The SIS and SIS foot high silos are
80 feet in diameter, and resemble
large modern railroad yard water
tanks.
Mixer units are now being
placed in the concrete mixing
plant, whieh when completed will
be 1876 feet high, and is ten
sided 52-foot in diameter struc-
ture supported by 11-ton steel
columns.
Increasing activity is taking
place in the Hungry Horse reser-
voir area as clearing, roadbuild-
ing and logging operations in
crease.
The Spotted Bear forest service
road is dusty and hazardous.
From 2,5OO to 3,UOO larcn ana
fir railroad ties day are now
coming out of the reservoir area
with about 10 tie mills operating.
Large scale hauling of logs to
Flathead mills is to start after
July 4. First load of Flathead Tim
Der Products Inc. pine and spruce
saw timber logs was brought this
week to the Stoltze Half Moon mill
from the Cy Tonner subcontract
on Clorinda creek.
Glen Penny, subcontracting, will
start hauling pine and spruce logs
