REM0OEL|NG Of
BANK PROGRESSES
Some Delay Experienced AS
Water Well For Cooling
System Is Drilled

Construction of a 80 by 64-foot
addition at the Yellowstone bank
was delayed about a week due to
difficulties encountered in drilling
a water well on the site, according
to B. Meyer Harris, vice president
of the bank. The drilling of the
well, which is to supply water to
cool condenser coils in the air.
conditioning system, was compli-
Gated by heavy sanding at the TO
foot level which forced the drill
r to pull back to the 28-foot
level. Though water had been
found at % feet, the well was
pushed deeper in the hope of find
ing cooler water; however, when
water was found at 70 feet it con-
tanned so much sand that it
could not be used.
By Wednesday, the floor for the
new addition had been completed
and work started on the vault.
An examination of the proposed
floor plan for the remodeled
building shows that it will have
much greater facilities. Not only
will considerable additional space
be made available, but there will
be a better organization of that
space into work units. Customers
at the new bank will, on the COM
pletion of the present project, find
that nearly all of the presently
existing building has been remod-
eled to accommodate their needs.

License Figures
Prove Revealing.

In the 10-year period from 1895
through 1949, the number of hunt
ing and fishing licenses sold to
residents of Montana and to those
"out of staters" who desired to in
dulge in outdoor sports here has
almost doubled. This information
is contained in a news release just
issued by the Montana fish and
game department.
In 1899, the sale of licenses was
made to 139,302 persons. This in
cludes all categories of permits
from resident bird and fish Ii
censes to alien bird and non-resi-
dent big game licenses. In the year
1949, the total figure jumped to
273,244, thus almost doubling the
number of men and women who
sought hunting and fishing for rec
reation.
The climb from the smaller to
the larger figures was steady dur
ing the decade, the release goes
on, with the exception of sales
made in 1913. Sales made in 1912
totaled 154,808, while in the fol-
lowing year a drop of almost 1000
was noted with 1888 figure. De-
partment official attribute this de-
crease to the war and it's accom-
panying restrictions on travel
through gas rationing and i%nacces-
sibility of new tires.

II Is anticipated at Cne depart
ment's Helena headquarters that
the 1850 license sales will be
much the same as last years, but
it is possible that a slight increase
may be noted.
Sales of nonresident and tour
ist fishing licenses to those travel
ing through the state have been
active, license dealers inform Hell
ena.
The figures noted in the news
release serve to confirm the con-
sensus held by most Montana
sportsmen that more and more
people are seeking the streams
and woods as sources for diversion.
One result of this increase is the
placing of firearms in the hands
of more inexerienced hunters, and
department officials urge each
holder of a hunting license to exer-
else extreme care and caution when
in the field.

CAVALRY DIVISION IN KOREA,
Sept. 12.-Some 800 trapped North

lean attack they knew was coming.

About Richitt Case

Disposition of the controversial
Richitt case will be discussed in a

Supt. Robert j. Barrett said today.
Findings of Special Assistant
Corporation Counsel Daniel B.
Maher that evidence supports
charges against Capt. Anthony

planned to poll the inspectors to
determine a course of action.

said today. At least six who were
available for comment verified
this, adding that "all we know is
what we read in the paper"

other, in the Richitt case.
