Heauy Winter Snow
Helps Glaciers

WEST GLACIER-Heavier Win
ter snowfall and slightly cooler
summer temperatures in Glacier
National Park result in the con-
clusion by M. E. Beatty, Glaciers
chief naturalist, and r. A. Digit
man. Helena, Montana director for
the U. S. weather bureau, that
Glaciers 60 glaciers are no longer
retreating.
These ice fields are tiny cousins
of the big glaciers that once COW
cred the land, and only date back
for up to 1000 years. The glacier
retreat in Glacier National Park
and over the North American con-
tinent has been in process since
about 1890, and is now viewed as
starting a comeback on an approx
imately 50-year cycle.
Last week, Beatty and Digit
man with Don Robinson, park ma
turalist; Wallace Irgens, Helena,
Neurological inspector for the wea-
ther bureau, and William Osborne
and Hal Malde, Denver, OF the U.
S. Geological survey, who are
mapping glacier moraines, meas
ured the past IL months precipi-
tation at the gauge at the foot OF
Grinnell glacier.
They found a record 138 inches
of precipitation, which indicates
a snowfall of over 100 feet at the
spot, for the past IL months. The
heavy iron straps at the top OF the
16-foot high gauge were sheared
indicatingthat at least another five
feet of snow was on top for total
depth of over 21 feet in this area
that doesn't particularly drift.
The 1953-54 measurement of
1873 inches compares with LOT in
ches last year and the previous
record of 125 inches for 1852.

OK to Sprinkle
Lawns Each Duy

This week saw removal of al
ternate day restrictions for sprink-
ling in Columbia Falls.
Tuesday night action by the city
council now makes it permissible
to sprinkle lawns every day. Still
prohibited are use of soakers and
open taps. The council also re-
quests some discretion in water
use.
Columbia Falls, with an estima-
ted population near 1000 is now
viewed as having sufficient water
supply for the first time since the
early 1940s when the population
was 637. In 1948-49 there was ex-
penditure of $125,000 for new
mains in the town, an improve
ment not as noticeable as the pre-
sent program.
Making the difference is the vir-
tually completed 100000 water
system improvements authorized
by the voters last Nov. 6. Colum-
bia Falls has two new wells on
Fourth Avenue East at Fourth
street augmenting gravity flow
from the city's regular water sup
ply at Crystal Creek springs three
miles north. Water from the wells
is distributed into the city through
a new 10-inch cross town main,
and there was also replacement OF
old wooden mains on First, Second
and Third avenues West.
Mayor Herman Benzien COM
mented that the city council and
himself were pleased at the water
system improvement, and that it
was good to be able to remove al
ternate day sprinkling restrictions
in August. One or the other OF the
500 gallon per minute pumps go on
the line when pressure in city
mains gets below 40 pounds.

West Resigns AS
FoIIs Police Chief

Columbia Falls city council
Tuesday accepted the resignation
of Byron West as chief of police.
Wednesday Mayor Herman Ben
zien and the council appointed
Vern Brandes as acting chief OF
police. ;,
Next Monday another council
meeting is to review the matter
of a permanent appointment OF
chief of police, and interview. ap-
plicants and hear suggestions.
West was Columbia Falls chief
police from 1916 until 1948,
and then again from 1851 until
this week.
He resigned Tuesday over a
series of differences with the
council. West charged lack of sup
port for himself and the one-man
police department. He asked for a
wage increase from $500 to $375
a month in view of l6-hour days
worked.
There has been series of diff
ferences between West and the
council over law enforcement.
West was considered too strict.
Columbia Falls has been free OF
major traffic accidents, and there
is a good law and safety record.
Brandes was Columbia Falls
police chief from July, 1948 until
April, 1850, and has been en-
ployed at Rocky Mountain Lum-
Der Co., for the last three years.
He was a gunner in the Navy dur

The county mill levy was es-
tablished by Flathead county COM
missioners Tuesday at 1912 down
from a levy of 1884. Helping make
the decrease possible was the larg-
er tax base in the county. Full
valuation was $57,387 1855 last year
and S62,264,002 this. There was al
so trimming of county expenses.
Study of the budgets for the
various governmental groups in
the Flathead shows that school

Deer Park has as low a levy as
any Flathead district. It's grade

total millage is down to 1856 from

general, farm prices have dropped
49,, from the 1851 highs. At the
same time, prices paid by farmers
for goods and services declined on
~ &c; after 1851.
The principal reason for this
drop in fam prices is that there
have been more farm products
forthcoming than money to buy
them, a surplus in other words

This surplus was brought on by .
decline Of foreign markets and the
end Of the Korean War All dur
ing the l94O's the farmer was
urged to increase production. Since
World War II, farm production has
generally improved in other parts
of the world and during the past
year our export markets declined
800. In many instances, however,
we have simply priced ourselves
out Of the foreign market.
Price supports do not and can
not assure farm prosperity. In adj
dtion to pricing our farm products
out of domestic and world markets,
high supports are steadily increas-
ing government-held SURPRISES of

the present program would destroy

ence of the American Farmer.

cult problem and the present Adj
ministIation under the sympathetic
leadership Of President Eisenhow-

finding a solution based on volun-

argument, generally speaking, will
deal with the question Of price

ligid as some farm Spokesman con.
tend, or should they be FLEXIBLE"

on the basis Of the law Of supply

This is the year Of decision. The
law requiring rigid farm price sup
ports expires at the end Of 1854

what course it will follow.
That law originally came into be-

pressed the same view when he
