Kelly Island, Lake
Gets Civic Support

Civic clubs of the Hungry Horse
area are recommending that H. j
Kelly, veteran Montana publisher,
be recognized by naming of a
principal island in Hungry Horse
reservoir or even the man-made
lake itself.
The clubs feel that Kelly island
or better Kelly lake is fitting trib-
ute to the newspaperman who first
c1ampioned the idea of Hungry
Horse dam. Mr.. Kelly retired in
1914 after so years of newspaper
ing. Last May 16, he was asked
to cancel the first letter at the
opening of the new Hungry Horse,
Montana post office.
New communications are being
prepared to be forwarded through
the bureau of reclamation asking
that the man known as the father
Of Hungry Horse dam" be given

Warm, Dry April
Lessons Floods

Above normal April tempera-
lures are resulting in the Flathead
river running at five times it's
flow of year ago, and apparently
reducing flood danger.
Last year March had tempera-
lures averaging four degrees be-
low normal. Next came April, or
dinarily the Flathead's dryest
month with 80 inches of precip-
itation at Kalispen; it became the
wettest April in so years with 1.92
inches, according to Observer Ray
Hall, and May turned warm sud-
denly.
Peak flow of the Flathead river
was May % with an estimated
10000 cubic feet per second at
Columbia Falls and its south fork
running $4,000 cubic feet per Sec
ond at Hungry Horse damsite.
Indication of an earlier spring
is this weeks mid April crest
of the south fork. Observer Frank
Newell reports 1t was $3.50 cubic
feet per second Monday; 1850
Tuesday, $500 Wednesday, down
more Thursday. A year ago the
flow was 700 to 800 cubic feet per
second during comparative days,
a fifth as much water.

its, survival, herding and hazards
as well as taking a census.
Conclusions will be checked
against previous estimates If
5000 elk up the Flathead rivers
south fork and 1000 in the middle
fork. Report is that Schaefer dist
riot elk middle fork wintered
somewhat better than the south
fork animals this winter, and that |
the best deer section, the Swan,
showed good deer survival.

comparison is furnished by the
f. r. Hewett Co. contract for
So52,448 to relocate the first IA
miles of the forest service road.
Hewett half completed tn contract
before shut down by snow last fall.
The Spokane concern was low
among seven bidders at the June
II, 1947 1.-TWO years ago. opening.
A breakdown of Hewett's bid
and McLaughlin's bid on the new
is as follows: Hewett bid
sooO an acre for clearing CLOS
acres in ALL; McLaughlin's bid is
$500 an acre (130 acres in alD.
For common excavation, Hew-
EFT bid A cents, $4,000 cubic
yards.
Rock excavation pays Hewett |
S1.35 a cubic yard on this nearly
;wo year old contract for an esti-
mated $4,000 cubic yards. Under
he approaching contract, Nc
4aughlin will have an estimated
5000 cubic yards at SIPS.
Overhaul pays Hewett cents
cubic yard for 100000 cubic
ards, and Mclaughlin will have
he same estimated quantity
is bid, 5 cents.
Major differences in the two
ids, that of June 27, 1947 and Of
-pril IL. 1949 account for the to-
Il price variation. Hewett is build
lg concrete bridges over Margar-
