Tom Taylor Again

When the history of Columbia Falls is written
there should be chapter on Tom Taylor OF Kalis-
peI.
When we came to Columbia Falls in 1916 we
heard of the pulp plant developments that Taylor
had promoted some time before for Columbia Falls
and Poison. Stock was sold, and there was to be a
grinding plant here and plant in Poison. The plan
fell through, and number of local persons lost
some money This area does have the natural re-
sources for pulp industry, and Taylors proposals
apparently had some merit
Now Tom Taylor is promoting new shopping
and parking center for Columbia Falls. The pro-
posed seven Shops service station and garage in a
modernistic building and parking area would be
located at Tracey's Aluminium City, plated area
between the aluminium plant and Columbia Falls
on the North Fork county road.
The prospectus in part reads: " purpose is
to establish modern shopping and parking center
in Traceys Aluminium City, a subdivision at Col
umbia Falls, Montana. 1t depicts novel and unique
plan for financing the project through sale to the
general public of units of real estate in recordabe
deeds of individual interest of 100 square feet per
unit or multiples thereof, for the selling price OF
$3.50 per unit. ="
"The entire tract of land consists of some thirty
acres is divided into twelve city blocks and lots
with regulation streets and alleys the shopping
and parking center, it is estimated, will cost some
$175,000 :"
Immediate activity over the balance of the
property will be the offering for sale of 113 lots for
modern home building.
ed and controlled by the unit holders of undivided
interest 1t will be operated by them or leased to
whomsoever they may elect. Net earnings accrulng
from the operation in the course of business will
naturally be paid to holders of undivided interest in
the form of dividends and paid out accordingly and
at such times as they may decide
The Pacific Power and Light Co.. letter to Mr.
Taylor is reprinted: 1t concludes: "This is to inform
you that service is available in that area and we
will be very pleased to extend facilities into the
area at any time service is required"
Another letter reprinted says that title nsur-
ance is available guaranteeing the title on any and
all the property.
Our thought is that it takes statesmen to pro-
mote There's been lack of aggressive spirit in Col
umbia Falls. Considering industrial payrons grow
ing up around u.s. and the communitys potential,
Columbia Falls hasn't been particularly alert.
At the same time personally would not in
vest in Tom Taylor's promotion of Tracey's Alum
mum City, and would advise potential investors to
look the site over and decide its future before they
invest.
However opinions are cheap Faith in COM
munitys future is essentially the willingness to
make and improve home here or invest in busi-
ness. We have little time for spectators-they can
ruin town and themselves. Furthermore man is
responsible for watching his dollars, as long as
no laws are violated MR.

in the process. He sent to pententiary, but an
appeal won him his freedom. short time later two
Browning homes were robbed One occupied
by the Judge who sentenced the Indian and the
other by the publisher of newspaper which print
ed the story What convinced the white citizens it
was the Indian, was that the county commissioners
and undertaker's homes were also robbed.
Indians have a long-standing grievance against
a law forcing them to bury their dead, rather than
in the traditional manner of putting them in
mourning hut and leaving them. And of course,
the commissioners welfare payments have never
satisfied them.
There is a three man police force In Browning
but it might as well be in Okotoks One officer fired
his gun in the air to halt marauding Indian. The
bullet ricocheted off second-story window ledge
and struck the Indian He sued and won $4,000
damages. Nothing was said about the attempted
crime Now the town council is afraid the force is
going to resign (it would be the second tme) leav-
ing the town without the little protection it now
enjoys.
Four saloons have sprung up, but only one op-
orator bothered with state license. The others
knew they didn't need one. AS one merchant said:
"This is the only license needed" displaying Luger
automatic pistol.
One of the saloons has a large placard plastered
on the bar mirror with the warming mo MOOCH-
ERS IN THIS PLACE. But when some white man
entered the Indians cleared place at the bar,
inviting the visitor to step up. AS as the white
man accepted, the Indians crowded around "Buy US
a beer. Got smoke? How about a match"
The edgy citizens feel certain the lawlessness
will be ended in time by amendment in Con-
gress But in the meantime, there's hot time in the
old town of Browning any night of the week.

Browning Warpath

We stopped by in Browning Sunday during their
second annual North American Indian days A big
parade was just over, and competitive events at the
rodeo grounds were just getting underway.
Indians were about dressed in their best store
clothes. and here and there a few were wearing
buckskin, beads and feathers. 1t was colorfuL
We asked Mrs John Self, wife of the Browning
oubsher if the celebration had been peaceful, and
She remarked that it had been surprisingly quiet

The following editorial was written by Bruce
Phillips in The Calgary Herald. We noticed 1t re-
printed in the Lewistown Daily News and It IS

There's no particular conflict here
Police in Browning are Indians
AS far as bar flies, we have them here, and
expect Calgary must have them too -
Danger as we see it is that Browning with
Indians plus an oil boom and new liquor outlets
may be lending itself to sensational news handling
beyond what conditions merit.
We've no quarrel and the following Canadian
oaper report montana Redman Again on Loose"

story:
Nearly rs years have passed since the Redman

Last year the U. S. Congress passed a bill
withdrawing nearly all federal control of Indian
reservations But lawmakers omitted any provl-
sion putting the reservations under state criminal
law. For the first time liquor stores and saloons
were allowed on reservation lands, and the Indians
evidently are not accustomed enough to the novelty

Shelter Kitchens

It's about time the National Park Service rec
ognizes that if can rain in Glacier.
We're just completing wet summer which
however had a surprisingly large number OF nice
days.
Our thought is that American park officials
could take a lesson from Canadians who recognize
that it rains and have erected rustic type commun-
ity kitchens in their campgrounds Typical situation
is to find two camp tables either side of large
campstove There's roof with the structure only
partially walled.
Obvious benefits of Canadian campground kit
chens include dry place to cook and eat, and re-
duction in blackened rocks and messier situations
found about our camps.
Wood is a problem in these mountain camp
grounds and obviously there's better utilization OF
heat in a campground stove than in an open fire or
in a crude fireplace
These centrally located shelter kitchens in the
Canadian parks-Waterton included-also seem to
contribute to a friendlier atmosphere than the in
dvidual struggling in Glacier over fires in the rain
with blackened kettles.
We don't admire Canadians for bringing Iceland
poppies to beautfy the grounds at Lake Louise, or
having a large formal English garden at Banff.
However they have a good idea when they attempt
to make life not quite so primitive in their camp
grounds Objective is a wholesome outing
Looking at Glaciers campgrounds gives rise to
the belief that men who control design and facilities
come out here from Washington, D. c. and stay
in hotels They might try camping out during one
of the rainy spells, and fortunately this isn't the
desert MN

June Steel Output
Expected 10 Show
Further Increases
By the Assoeiuted Pres,

CLEVELAND, June 1.-The
magazine Steel said indications
point to further gains in steel
production during June.
May production is put at about
70.5 per cent Of capacity, the
highest month since February's
74.3, and June probably will be
"a little busier," Steel said
March production was SO and
April 68.2.
The magazines weekly sum-
mary of the Woodworking in
dustry added:
"June could we'll be a pretty
good month. Summer vacations
and hot weather don't start slow
ing things down that early. Good
weather promotes the use of steel
among such heavyweight Gus
toners as the construction in
dustry.
Threat of a steelworkers
strike could inspire a buying
spree. Demands growing out OF
the increasingly taut interna-
tional situation could begin ap-
pearing."
Already, Steel said. some new
defense business has come in,
The Midvale Co. of Philadelphia
received a 1891 900 Army con-
tract for mass production Of

cannon.
Contracts such. as these, u
