National Park in southeastern
British Columbia is really teeming
with the "big ones" has been prov
en- again by Frank Gob1e, Waterton
Park businessman and sportsman.
In one days fishing this week
Mr.. Goble returned with eight bull
trout weighing a total of almost go
pounds. The largest was just a
shade under IL pounds.
Mr.. Goble used spinning outfit
for his fishing endeavors so that he
could stand far enough back from
the pools that he could cast and
not be seen by the fish. He fished
downstream, then came back up
again hoping that the frightened
fish would be settled down by the
time he returned to relish hole.
Fishing alone, Mr.. Goble dis
played considerable skill in land
ing his "big ones" A total Of 8
hours was required to land the
eight trout. Several got away on
him, tackle and all.

Place Value On
RiQhf-Wuy Lund

A value of 10000 was placed
Wednesday by three local COM
missioners appointed by the court
for 1873 acres of Hoerner land just
south of Columbia Falls used fol
right-of-way for the Bonneville
Power Administration Hungry

on the south. The powerline right
of-way over Hoerner land is 1875
feet wide and approximately a
mile long near the Flathead river
between Columbia Falls and the
Montana Soldiers Home.
Bonneville offered price was
based on pasture land values.
Hoerner stand was that the
property with its Flathead river
frontage was potential residential
area worth up to $1,000 an acre.
Hearings were held in the Kali
ispell city hall Tuesday, and We'd
nesday the group were in Colum-

Bod Rock Petitions
Annexation Again

A petition containing the names
of 40 Bad Rock residents request
ing annexation of their district
with district No. 6 is to be pre-
sented Lulu Barnard, county sup
erintendent, Friday.
The petition was submitted first
to the Bad Rock school board at
their Tuesday evening meeting.
Mrs. Hattie Jensen, clerk of the
board, is to turn the petition over
to Miss Barnard.
Howard Buck, Bad Rock school
board member, said that the 40
signatures were considered to be
in order, and are well in excess of
the 20 per cent of eligible voters.
This compares with % signatures
on the petition that resulted in
the Feb. 4, 1854 annexation cleo
ton. Annexation carried 81 to 54,
but the vote showed that % names
did not represent 20 per cent of
the eligible voters.
Events led to District Judge
James T. Shea of Glasgow ruling
early this month that the Bad Rock
board should have ruled on the
sufficiency of signatures, and not
Miss Barnard.
Tuesday the Bad Rock board
ruled that the new petitions had
sufficient signatures.
Miss Barnard said that after she
receives the petition with 40
names, she will take up the mat
ter of annexation with the district
6 board in Columbia Falls.
If district 6 approves the idea
of annexation, an election will be
called for Bad Rock to approve or
disapprove the merger.
Judge Shea's ruling apparently
is not being appealed by Mary
Condor, state superintendent, or
Miss Barnard. Miss Barnard said
that an election will decide the
issue one way or another much
faster than an appeal, and in any
event, the people should decide.
Of Bad Rocks present board,
Griffin Mattheisen and Chairman
Everett Baker oppose annexation.
Howard Buck favorS the move.
Annexation entanglements have
not been pleasing to the district
6 board. They'd rather leave the
question up to Bad Rock
without making any decisions
Only advantage for
district 6 if Bad Rock was annex
ed would be good will. Instead the
whole issue produced considerable
The district 6 board
would duck the whole issue, if a
graceful way out were found.
A result of Judge Shea's ruling
published Aug. 6 is that keys for
Bad Rock school were turned back
Books in possession of
district 6 have been turned over

Missing Bootmon
Turns Up at Noon

WEST GLACIER-The Flathead
escaped what appeared to be an
other tragedy Monday when Rich
ard Fuller, 26, West Glacier,
showed up alive and well. Indi-
cations were that he had drowned.
Sunday afternoon Fuller was
fishing on the bank of the Flat
head rivers Middle Fork about
20 miles upstream from West Gla-
cier.
Down the stream in a boat came
Sam Kaiser and Maynard Hop
fenspirger, both of West Glacier.
The two men went onto the
shore, and Fuller took over the
boat with the idea of meeting the
pair at the mouth of Coal creek.
Fuller started downstream. 1t
was difficult going with big rocks,
swiftwater and then shadows. Coal
creek and its telling bridge never
showed up. 1t became dark and
more dangerous.
Fuller then pulled to shore, and
built fire. Rain put the fire out.
With daylight he resumed the
downstream journey, and left the
boat at the mouth of Stanton
creek. He saw a plane overhead,
and figured someone was looking
for him.
Fuller got to the highway and
then back into West Glacier. Just
before l pm. the search ended.
Hopfenspirger and Kaiser wait
ed at Coal creek until midnight,
and then when he didn't show up
reported to Park Headquarters.
District Ranger Bud Estey with
Ranger Naturalist Bob Lechtleit-
ner and Hopfenspirger returned to
the Middle Fork, but search was
near impossible at night.
In the morning the Flathead
and Rescue association
Joined in the search. The plane
owned by Flathead Air Transport
and used by the park for spotting
fires-located the boat, and next
was Fuller showing
up.
Hopfenspirger and Kaiser had
launched the craft at Paola creek.

Montana Power Co., has asked

Washington, D. c., for preliminary
permits for two proposed hydro
electric projects on the Flathead
river in Lake and Sanders coun-
ties, according to an Associated
Press dispatch.
One project would be located
about 10 miles southwest of Pol
son, and be a concrete dam to
form a reservoir that would ex-
tend upstream to Kerr dam. In
stalled capacity would be about
10000 kilowatts.
Other concrete dam would be
about 19 miles south of Poison and
have similar generating capacity
to the first dam.
The Montana Power dams and
powerplants would be essentially
river-run operations benefitting
from Hungry Horse Dam and res
ervoir for their upstream storage.
