HH Now PRODUCING
At 1000 KiIowutts

Hungry Horses first of four IT,
250 kilowatt generators operating
at low capacity is now producing
about 1000 kilowatts of power, be-
ing used in the Flathead valley.
This output is about the same as
peak capacity for the Mountain
States Power Co. plant at Bigfork.
Scheduled. for Monday is ener-
gizing the new 100000 volt power
line from Hungry Horse to Cabi-
net Gorge dam on the Idaho
Montana border.
The Cabinet Gorge to Spokane
leg of the 100000 volt powerline
was energized August 10.
The 10000 volt Bonneville
wood pole line that runs from Kerr
dam to Hungry Horse will continue
in use.
There is 100000 acre feet of
water storage behind Hungry
Horse dam-more valuable in view
of the dry year. The project will
not be exporting power unless dis
charge through the turbines is
stepped up from its present rate.

F|athead Hunters Bringing Back Elk

Elk bagged in the Flathead for
the 1852 season so far indicates a

This weekend is seeing more
high school students hunting since
school was out Thursday and Fri
day with teachers attending Mon
tana Educational Association dis
trict meetings.
Hunters generally wish there
was snow that would aid in track
ing animals.
The forest service with critical
fire conditions likewise waits for
precipitation. Regular plane pat
rolls from Spotted Bear with a pu-
bile address system reminding
hunters of the fire danger has
helped hold fires down. There has
only been one fire since October

chaser at Java, put it out Monday.
Tragedies of the season include
the death of Rev. Charles A. Bolin
Of Big Sandy, formerly of Kali
spell, who was shot through the
stomach when his companion, Ber-
hard Lund mistook him for an
ELK. The shooting occurred near Z
Trout lake on the South Fork. The

Villo ge Woter
S oUrce Fails

The Flathead's record drouth has
resulted in failure of the Apgar
creek water supply for Glacier ma
t.onal park headquarters village
and Apgar. v
Result is that pumping is TAX
ing place from the nearby Flat
head rivers Middle Fork using a
park fire truck, and also from a
well near the river. A chlorinator
is being used to treat the water.
The park headquarters water sys-
tenn supplies about rs families.
Eventual plan is to use the near
by Roubidoux springs further west
on Apgar mountain. These springs
are little effected by winter wea-
ther or drouth.
Glaciers 100000 acres con-
tain headwaters of the Hudson
Bay, Columbia and Missouri river
drainages. Stream flow in the park
is unusually low, commented Chief
Ranger Elmer Fladmark.
Examples include Snyder creek
that turns the hydro wheel for the
Lake Mcdonald hotel light plant
being virtually dry. This is sit
uation that is not believed to have
occurred previously.
Missing from park mountains
are the blankets of new snow that
cover the peaks by early
October. Last winters snowbanks
that kept streams going all sum-

With the first of four 1880 kill

Seubourd Renews
Interest in Lots

Seaboard Surety Co., New York
City bonding firm, has renewed
interest in the 88 lots it owns in
Columbia Falls.
The property was formerly tax
deed land in the heart of the COM
munity purchased by j. j. Reese
before the Hungry Horse develop
ment. When the Reese clearing
operation at Hungry Horse res
ervoir was taken over by Sea-
board the property was acquired
since it was a Reese security
Complication was a lien by the
Internal Revenue department ag-
ainst Reese on the land occurring
about the same time as the bond
ing company took over.
The lots couldn't be sold in view
of the lien, and no taxes were
paid.
James A. Cumming, Columbia
Falls attorney, representing Mrs.
Ben Henry, Helena, paid three
years taxes on 20 Seaboard lots,
tax certificates and
brought an action in district court
September 10 for tax deeds.
Seaboard Immediately paid up
back taxes on IL lots amounting
to about $3.50, and has indicated
hat it will pay up the balance
plus interest and costs.
Their intention is to offer the
for sale. Apparently the
Internal Revenue department
is being settled.
Coming of the aluminium plant
means that the land

Pheasant Season
Opening Sunday

Better than average upland
game bird hunting success is fore
cast for this years stubblefield
hunter when the 1852 ring-necked
pheasant and Hungarian partridge
season opens Sunday.
This prediction of the Montana
Fish and Game department is bas-
ed on favorable rearing conditions
and increased populations of these
game birds during the past year,
reflected in this years longer hun
ting season.
Shooting hours for both pheas-
ants and Huns have been set by
the Montana Fish and Game COM
mission from IL noon to o. M
on opening day and from 8 a. m.
to p. m. from October 81 through
IL, when season closes
The Fish and Game department
called special attention to this
years bag and possession limits,
which specify that hunters may
not exceed a three-bird total at
any time. This total may be COM
posed of two birds of one species
and one bird of the other, or the
total may consist of three birds |
of the same species. However, hun
ters may not take more than a |
three bird limit.

Visitors to Drive Top Of Dam

Road across the top of Hungry
Horse dam will be open to the
public for the first time Sunday,
November 2, weather permitting.
Plan, according to Bureau of
Reclamation officials, is to open
the 2,115 foot long top of the dam
to motorists who can cross the
Columbia mountain side and turn
around. The concrete roadway is
80 feet wide, and there are side
walks two and four feet wide.
Concrete parapets SO inches high
are the guard rails.
Visitors will be able to take
pictures from the top of the dam.
The structure 564 feet above bed
rock is higher than a 40 story
building. First concrete was plac-
ed Sept. 7, 1949, and last concrete
in the mass of the dam itself,
Oct. 4, 1852.
The Sunday traffic will be al
lowed from 8 a. m. to 5 p. M, and
for the one day only until next
year when the project is finally
completed.
Meanwhile incidental concrete
work at the project is in the last
bucket stage and includes cover
ing the pipeline to water tank,
road cutters and two parapet Sec
tions.
Dismantling the construction
plant continues. The big None
CHAN, power shovel that is the
size of a six room house, has been
sold. The shovel was located near
the junction of the Flathead river
with it's South Fork and scooped
up the 3,50O,0O0 cubic yards of
gravel needed to build the dam
and powerhouse. The shovel al
ready dismantled will be used to
mine coal in Canada for the Al
berta coal Co.

toward the Filipino people,"
The nuncio is Msgr. Egidio Vag-

The resolution said:
1.-THE instances of fragrant vio-
lations of diplomatic propriety by
MSgr. Vagnozzi and his notoriously
unsympathetic attitude toward the
Filipino people, particularly the
Filipino clergy. and their capacity
and aspirations, render him totally
unfit, if not strongly repulsive, as
an ambassador charged with forg-
ing of ties Of amity and under
standing between the Vatican and
the Philippines. ~
". His continuance in his
Office as the papal nuncio to the
Philippines will jeopardize the
friendship between the Vatican
and this country"
No date has been set for debate
of the resolution.
