Check S e e k ers
Arouse Suspicious

Interest in obtaining Bank OF
Columbia Falls blank checks We'd
nesday led to the arrest of three
transients.
The men made three trips into
the bank. Mrs. Lucille Smith was
asked by two different men for
bank checks. She replied "do you
have an account" They didn't. She
alerted Al Carter, bank vice pres
ident, who attempted to telephone
Chief of Police Byron West.
The telephone line was tempor-
arily out of order, which was a
situation.
West soon found Duane Ham
who it turns out was want
ed in Kalispell for writing frau
dulent check; Frank Bey, former
California prison inmate, and Bar
nard Sawaya, who has a forgery
record in Washington.
The men had been in Kalispell
city jail earlier this week for be-
ing drunk and disorderly, accord
ing to the sheriff's office.
Thursday afternoon Hammons
was to stand trial before Judge
Madsen in Kalispell for the bum
check, and Bey and Sawaya were
to be charged with vagrancy.

Rangers Encounter
Avalanche Conditions

WEST GLACIER-April snow
measuring trip into the heart
of Glacier National Park this week
was encountering what is believed
to be the worst snow conditions
experienced by a ranger patrol.
Rangers Bud Estey and Bruce
Miller left park headquarters on
skis March 81 for Cattle Queen ca
bin in the heart of Glacier, near
the continental divide between
Hudson Bay, Columbia river and
Missouri river headwaters.
They reached Logan creek cab
in % miles up the Mcdonald val
ley, and last Friday encountered
storms and avalanches which kept
them at the cabin for four days.
Snowslides were laundering off
nearby sheer mountains, visibili-
ty was nil, travel was dangerous,
and ahead was a route up a vir-
tual canyon.
Monday the rangers returned IL
miles to Lake Mcdonald hotel,
where there is winter caretaker.
They telephoned that the trip to
Cattle Queen would be resumed.
The patrol that was to take five
days is now taking 10 or IL.
The two rangers a month ago
found there was 1855 inches of
snow on the ground at Cattle
Queen cabin with a 38.4 inch wa
ter content, compared to normal
March 1 reading of 91.38 inches
of snow with 34.9 inches water.
At Kishenehn cabin up the Flat

found three times normal snow
depths. They measured 67.3 inches
of snow with 1873 inches water
content compared to 54 inches
snow with 1877 inches water con-
tent a month ago. At the old Kish-
enehn snow course three miles
away, they measured 55.8 inches
snow with 15.5 inches water con-
tent, compared to the Is year av-
arage of 1874 inches snow and 5.3

Falls TO Vote On
Parallel Purkinq

A special election tentatively set
for late May will decide the ques-
ton of whether parking on Col
umbia Falls main street will be
parallel or diagonal.
Columbia Falls town council fa-
vors parallel parking.
A petition was suLzslitted at the
April meeting of the council Mon
day with the names of 81 business
men requesting return to angle
parking.
The issue has been debated over
a period of months by council
members and merchants. The mer-
chants stated in their petition: I"
The following Columbia Falls bus
inessmen doing business on Nuc-
1eus avenue feel that parallel
parking is working hardship on
their respective businesses be-
cause of the extra space required
and increased difficulty of park
ing parallel, respectfully petition
return to angle parking"
The own is divided on the
question.
Council members favor parallel
parking for the wider thorofare
provided traffic, and feel there are
fewer chances for accidents.
Mayor Herman Benzien termed
a special election an inexpensive
way for the residents of Columbia
Falls to decide the issue which
created so much discussion during
past months.

HH Dam Curbs Spring Flood

With reports of mountain snow
depths 125 to 240 per cent above
normal, the Flathead has a more
pleased feeling having Hungry
Horse Dam.
This mountain valley, that has
experienced spring floods, recalls
last year when the Flathead riv-
er's South Fork peaked at 26,665
cubic feet per second June 4, and
again at 81, cubic feet, June 13.
Virtually all the water was held by
Hungry Horse Dam whose concrete
mass was completed previous fall.
Result was the U. S. Geological
Survey pointed out that Hungry
Horse caused a 2l2 foot reduction
in the flow of the main river at
Columbia Falls. The Flathead at
Columbia Falls rea. eed 1871 feet.
Flood stage is IA feet.
Total peaking flow of the Flat
heads North and Middle Forks
was so, 400 cubic feet.
Near record runoff of the noun
tain snow cover is to fill Hungry
Horse reservoir for the first time
early this summer. Water storage
in the 3,468,000 acre foot reservoir
reached 2,847,5 $50 Oct. 10, 1858.
First power was generated at the
dam Oct. l, 1852, and the concrete
mass was completed five days lat
er. Water in the reservoir is now
down rs feet from the dams crest.
To further use the flood control
advantages of Hungry Horse Dam,
Bonneville Power Administration
effective Wednesday evening di-
rected Hungry Horse powerhouse
officials to operate the four 1880
kilowatt generators at full load "a
hours day through the rest of
April. This will increase the stor-
age capacity to hold more of the
spring runoff.
Inflow into the reservoir has
risen slightly to 1922 cubic feet
per second. The spring floods in
late May or early June are ex-
pected to see it exceed 10000 cub
ic feet, and held in the reservoir.
Annual runoff of the Flathead's
South Fork is considered over
100000 acre feet for this year.

FILA Discusses Subdivision Planning

: Columbia Falls town council
Wednesday evening held a spec
ial meeting on subdivision plan
ming with Federal Housing Auth
Gritty representatives, Robert Chris
tensen, Seattle and Paul Sutton,
Helena.
Discussed were such topics as
modern homes where there is an
attached garage, and cars are dri-
ven in from the streets. This re-
suits in the trend toward wider
and shallower lots.
New town design tends not to
have alleys in residential districts,
but instead grants easements ac-
ross the rear of lots for telephone
and light poles.
Discussed was the proposed
plat for the Estenson Canyon View
addition to Columbia Falls that
does not have alleys, and achiev-
es access to lots with less acreage
given to streets. The FHA approv-
es this type of plat.
The meeting concerned modern
residential area plating, as con-
trasted to Columbia Falls present
street pattern designed when peo-
pie walked or had horses and bug
gies. Result was the ESQ foot
blocks, and comparatively narrow,
deep lots not laid out for the mod
ern type of ranch-style one-story
house.

AAC Power Not
Factor i'm Strike

KALISPELL = The Bonneville
Power Administration contract to
supply the new Anaconda Alum
mum Co. plant with 1000 kilo-
watts of firm power is having no
influence in present strike nego-
tiations.
The old Harvey contract taken
over by AAC reads to the effect
that when Hungry Horse reservoir
is full and all four generators are
operating, AAC is to start buying
their contract quantity of firm
power, according to R. H. Wood
Kalispell, Bonneville's Montana
manager.
Anaconda not being ready to use
the power this summer, will be
required to pay for the power pro-
viding BPA cannot sell it else
where. However AAC can sell to
the Montana Power Co. or use it
at other Montana installations. 1t
cannot be exported from the state.
Meanwhile Bonneville earlier
had made arrangements to dis
pose of most of the Hungry Horse
surplus power since AAC wasn't
to be in operation this summer.
Under terms of the Hungry
Horse act by Congress all power
generated at Hungry Horse pow
erhouse must remain in the state
of Montana.
Furthermore, the federal power
policy provides that an amount of
power equal to that generated at
Hungry Horse must be brought
back to Montana as result of
benefits from Hungry Horse stor-
ed water to downstream dams.

Strike Continues DeadIocked

: The week brought two small
rays toward settlement of the
strike that since Monday has COM
pletely tied up construction of the
S50,000,000 Anaconda Aluminium
Co. plant.
Construction stopped Monday
when the carpenters union placed
picket lines after negotiations
failed to achieve a Is cents pay
raise to S2.65 an hour.
UNION AGREEMENT
Favorable development this
week was the Wednesday morning
meeting between union leaders to-
ward agreement that there would
be one expiration date for union
contracts at the plant. Previously
it had been Feb. for the iron
workers contract; March / for the
carpenters, May l for electrical
workers and others; Aug. II for
laborers.
This created a situation that af-
ter settlement of the carpenters
strike, the wage demand and strike
threat would be experienced every
few weeks.
Carpenter union officials were
also pointing to the favorable sit
uation for them where most build
ing contractors in Northwestern
Montana have agreed to pay the
$2.65 an hour wage. However by
far the biggest job is holding out.
WHEN?
There was considerable rumor
as to when the strike would be
settled. Labor leaders wouldn't
disagree with the comment of per-
haps two weeks, and contractor
would comment
more like two months. Neither side
knew, and if they had an inkling,
they weren't talking.
Both L. j. Bares, vice president
for Foley Constructors, the plants
general contractors, and ]. w. Cul-
len, vice president in charge for
J. A. Mcneil Co., Inc, foundations
and excavations contractor, have
been consistent with the comment
that increases in wages are not

Till God made me a mother.
