us wanted more water pressure and
better facilities for fighting fire
1t is to the credit of the town
government and its firemen that
the fire rate has been reduced.
Here also is a good example of
people getting together to help
themselves. Obtaining a class 7
fire insurance rate for this town
wasn't a handout.
Columbia Falls should keep in
mind recommendations by the un-
derwriters. They suggest purchase
of additional hose, improvement to
the principal transmission line
from the Cedar creek springs, and
regular inspection of buildings
by firemen.
Even more important than the
reduction in insurance premiums
is the fact that now the underwrit-
ers believe there is less chance
here for homes and businesses to
burn down. That's why the prem
iums are lowered. MR.

can be no other major center fol
job placing than Kalispell.
The issue has been further con-
fused by stimulating Hungry
Horse and Martin City to ask for
employment offices, when it is
known that the objective is to have
an employment office at Kalispell,
and no where else in the Flathead.
True the valley is essentially
one labor pool, but we wonder if
any attention is being paid to the
convenience of the laboring man.,
and to the contractors and mills
that would give them jobs. MR.

prospers for seven months of the
year and slips back for five. There
can be no security, nor substan-
tial prosperity if the winter means
1000 men out of work.
Now folks in the Flathead get
along reasonably well together. 1t
would seem that the various busi-
nessmen organizations such as the
chambers of commerce, and the
labor groups could tackle this
problem together. Objective is to
find some way to keep more men
working during the winter.
Being a fatalist may have its
points, but it will never bring
jobs to more men in this valley.

Winter Is a Cat

Valley with mouse complex is
the Flathead. 1t does so little to
sell itself.
Spur for this valley becoming
publicity wise should be its scenic
attractions, raw materials, especi-

power.
1t is familiar story to all of
us-Glacier national park, Flat

Water Situation
Dangerous
Say City Officers

From now until the deep frost
becomes rotted and is drawn
out of the ground, there is
danger of freezing of water
services and possibly the mains,
according to city officials.
Water users are therefore
urged to let water run at all
times from one faucet in their
homes until further notice. BY
doing so freezing of service may
be avoided and the circulation
of water may lessen the danger
of mains freezing. {
The city water department
has already sent notices to users
in regard to the serious situa-
ton, A. M. Crilly, mayor, said.
The city is also taking every
opportunity to combat the sit
uation. Mains are being flushed
regularly to dispose of any slush
that may he forming. The de-
partment is operating "a hours
a day and will continue to do
so until danger is past to keep
plenty of water for residence
use and for fire protection.
If mains should freeze in any
section of the city and should
fire occur in that section the
results could be disastrous, city
officials said. With the help of
Hardin citizens the department
hopes to eliminate such a sit
uation.

Agents Office TO
Assist Ranchers
In Locating Hay

Stockmen who are apt to run
short of hay before the winter
is over should lose no time in
securing the extra needed feed
while the states supply lasts,
according to N. A.. Jacobsen,
county extension agent.
At present there are only a
few counties in Montana, most
1y in the western and northern
parts of the state, that report
any surplus hay for sale. This
surplus is disappearing rapidly
because of the heavy demand
from Stockmen within the state
as well as buyers from other
states, who are also in a SER
ious situation.
Although not in the hay bust
ness, the county agents office
will assist in helping individual
ranchers or groups of ranchers
in locating hay for sale in other
counties, the agent said. The
office will not assume any re-
Sponsibility beyond getting pros
pective buyers and sellers in
contact with each other. Be
cause hay is now a shot Deal
the purchaser must be prepared
to make a down payment or
submit other consideration i'm
mediately to close the deal in
order to be sure that he has
bought the hay, the county ag-
emit concluded.
