Trees With Roots

Some purpose would be served if our towns and
people would think in terms of permanent Christ
mas trees.
II is nice to live in a valley where we can hop
into the car, and within mile two find Christ
tree 1t is great fun for the family. There is also
the situation where the trees are local crop, and
the Flathead exports about 100000 a year for
happier Christmases over the land.
Yet as the Flathead population grows, there is
the increasing problem of keeping attractive trees
at the roadsdes The Douglas fir that grows by it
eelf is more symmetrical than one from a clump. We
pick the nice round tree standing by itself for the
To-day stay in our living room or out on the lawn
20 be decorated with lights.
Drive along our roads and highways, and it is
easy to spot where men OF boys have chopped down
fine trees Even worse is the habit of taking just
the top An evergreen without its upper portion has
grim resemblance to feet and body without head.
We are in need of a code of conduct in bring
ing in the family Christmas tree. Definitely we
should go back from the roadsides and avoid cut
ting private property without permission.
Settlers out on the prairie attempted to grow
trees. In the forest areas, pioneers saw trees as
something to cut down in order to uncover the land
for cultivation.
Most yards here in Columbia Falls are still
without evergreens. Here and there few of the
old original stand continues, and there has been
some transplanting but in the city itself there is
rather tree-less look
Our civic groups should encourage expeditions
with shovel in the spring seeking evergreens in
addition to these December trips with an axe. MR.

on snowshoes and Skis shooting into the air to en-
courage elk down from the mountains in the St
Mary and Red Eagle valleys to migrate out onto the
prairies BlacEdeet Indians appreciate this Situa-
ton. They can hunt year around. Where herd lead
ers are shot by the rangers, meat is given to the
Indians.
The st. Mary-Red Eagle elk herd numbered
about 800. It reduced by migration to 400 last
spring, and plan is to further reduce the total to
about 20O Natural increase is from II 10 % per
cent a year.
Another phase of Glaciers elk reduction pro-
gram is extended season each Saturday and Sunday
this month and likely for part OF next on elk along
the Flathead rivers Middle Fork. The weekend sea-
son is created in order TO prevent daily firing line
along the border that would discourage elk from
leaving the park.
Glaciers 1,500 square miles is actually just
small portion of western Montana. There are ac-
tually few closed areas.
One of the big reasons men live in western
Montana is for hunting and fishing. Elk certainly
rank important resource Out here topic of
the day especially in the fall and winter is often
the job it was to get elk Fortunately elk know
how to survive MR.

Neglected Citizens

In these days of better wages and higher SAL
aries, the most neglected citizens of Montana are
likely the men and send to the legis-
lature in Helena.
Their pay is $40 day, and they receive cents a
mile for round trip to the capital. There ap-
parently are no other legal allowances
Result is that we create situation where an
honest lawmaker actually loses money. 1t is not
possible for a man to live in Helena, support his
family at home, and get by on $40 day.
Pay-wise Montana appears to be one of the
half-dozen least favorable states in this respect
Our neighbors do better Wyoming pays its
legislators $12 day and Sc day expenses South
Dakota legislators get biennial salary of $1050 in
Washington it is So, 400, and Colorado pays $4,000
plus allowances North Dakota wage is SIS day
plus $40 day for expenses. OF course there
others like Louisiana with its $50 day wage or
New York and Illinois that pay $4,000 for the BIZ
ennium.
In Montana at least should pay the law
makers enough money so that they do not have to
dig into their own pockets for expenses or accept
handouts.
This is certainly issue that should be pre-
sented the voters through referendum at the Nov.
6, 1856 election. MRI

The American elk or wapiti is great animal
that has succeeded in survival where millions OF
buffalo failed.
Elk retreated as civilization advanced. o. j.
Murie in his eek of North America" says that the
aninals were not common along the Atlantic
coast but they were numerous throughout the Mid
west. In 1856 could pick up wagonloads OF elk
antlers in Iowa. In 1869 civilization had reduced
Iowa's elk population to 40 Last elk were observed
in Pennsylvania in the 1840s.
These fine animals zeroed out in one area af-
ter another until today they found in sufficient
numbers to be hunted in just IL states.
With controlled hunting and wilderness pre-
serves, the American elk apparently have made a
successful stand for survival in the big meadows
and grassy uplands of the mountains.
Last year the Montana Fish and Game depart
ent reported total elk kill of 1926 in the state,
with 244 per cent of hunters successful Elk kill in
the F1athead was 1900 for 1858 and about 900 for
1854 The states 1858 deer kill was 74,420 with
H726 per cent of the hunters successful.
! Pressure of hunters increases with improved
transportation and people Last year there
were 81, 1872 elk hunters and 106,634 deer hunters
in Montana Deer are hunted the whole state
with elk just in the western and mountain portions
Pressure is much more concentrated on the elk
with 66 per cent of all hunters in western Montana
seeking them and % per cent successful.
Important reservoirs to survival of wlldlhe such
as elk are the massive areas of Yellowstone and
Glacier National Parks.
In safeguarding wildlife resources problems
arise. Both Glacier and Yellowstone have elk popu-
latons that have increased beyond the capacity of
available range Starvation of elk and white tailed
deer who have similar habits arises.
At the same time it must be recognized that it
is an impossibity to permit even consider hunt
ing in the national parks. 1t would take an act OF
Congress to make such change
Result is that without hunting and increased
numbers, Glacier must find ways to encourage Its
elk to migrate.
This winter just as last will see park rangers

Better Youth

We wonder if the type of boy and girl we pro-
duce in community isn't considerably influenced
by the conduct, manners and morals of the present
II and 18 year old students in the local high school
AS people we tend to dress and act in similar
patterns, and this type of doing much the same
thing includes our behavior.
At Columbia Falls high school there seems to
be unusually well behaved group of 16, II and
IS yearolds 1t is the best we've seen since
here. The nation hears much about increased juven-
lie delinquency, but that's not the local trend II
might be good idea to hear about the larg-
numbers that are good young citizens.
Our athletes aren't seen around town with Gig
arettes dangling from their lower lips There's little
problem of scholastic eligibility and four of five
of the basketball squad have been on or near the
honor roll.
There is reason to believe that good crop of
juniors and seniors will have its effect for years to
come. Younger students tend to copy older students,
who in turn may not realize that they are important
examples to life in this community. MR.
