golden eagles.
The bird was reported along
Going -to-the-Sun highway in the
Lake Mcdonald vicinity. Visitors
were taking pictures of the big
bird, and thought he was wounded
since he didn't attempt to fly
away.
Naturalists M. E. Beatty and Don
Robinson with Ranger Naturalist
Robert Lechleitner brought the
eagle back to headquarters where
his appetite for meat returned.
Within two days, the bird was
considered strong enough to be on
his own, and was released.
Both bald and golden eagles are
considered common in Glacier with
golden eagles frequenting higher
attitudes. The big birds have six
foot wing spreads.

Foy's Lake Folks
TO Rebuild School

Observation-Disclosures of Foy'!
Lake school district Tuesday even
ing decided to rebuild their schoo
burned in a fire early Monday
morning. There will be consider
able volunteer labor.
About 35 persons attended the
Tuesday evening meeting in the
Flathead county high school Vo-
ag building. 1t was decided that
the $4,000 worth of insurance plus
an extra mill levy for three years
would build a new school to ac-
commodate 20 students. This is
about the size of the old building
that was erected in 1901.
Temporarily Foy's Lake students
are to attend school in building
on Pleasure Island, amusement
center. Joe Odom offered use OF
the building, rent free.
Lulu Barnard, Flathead county
superintendent, said that the Foy's
Lake one-room school was we'll
maintained unit. Cause of the early
Monday morning fire has not been
determined, but it is believed to
have been set. The school has 16
students with Mrs. Hilda Corron,
the teacher. 1t is six miles south
west of Kalispell.
Foy's Lake problem is that their
total tax base is $29,251, one of the
lowest in the Flathead. Maximum
bond issue would be about $500.
Cost of a new school can be con-
sidered in terms of $4,000. Hence
decision to use the $4,000 worth of
money and a mill levy
for three years to build new
school. Present mill levy for school
purposes is 22.5. A mill raises
$29.25 in the district.

Fire Danger at Low
Ebb in Glacier

WEST GLACIER-Fire danger
in Glacier National Park is at low
ebb for summer following two
weeks of on and off again rains.
Precipitation total for IL day!
at park headquarters was over
inches.
Result is that Ranger Stan Spur
geon, Glaciers fire dispatcher, has
a tally of six fires for the
100000 acre park so far in 1854
OF this total two were lightning
strikes, and the four man-caused
included two neglected campfires.
Total area burned stands at .19
of an acre. This compares with the
parks most fire free year of 1850
with five fires and no measurable
area burned.
Glaciers Forest fires that in the
1920s destroyed an average of
5000 acres year have been stead
lily becoming less destructive.
Spurgeon points out that in the
1930s the destruction was down to
1850 acres year; in the 1940s to
an average of 135 acres, and since
1945 to 1.6 acres year.
Park officials attribute this fav-
orable development to visitor CO.
operation in preventing fire; bet
ter detection and suppression IA
cilities; a more favorable weather
pattern and in some summers less
lightning.
