SowdUst Piles Storf
Three Forest Fires

KALISPELL-Fl Flathead Nation
al Forests first three reportable
fires of 1854 were started from
sawdust piles in the woods lighted
last fall, that came alive on the
surface and spread embers with
warm, windy June days.
The Yakinikak fire, five miles
south of the Canadian line, started
June %, and was considered under
control June "a. 1t covered 14O
acres. An estimated Is of an inch
of rain June rs further dampened
the situation. There was little mer-
chantable timber. The fire was IN
slash and blowdown.
AS the Yakinikak fire was being
controlled, a mile away, another
sawdust pile on Antley creek blew
up, and took 8:5 acres of nearby
slash and trees.
A total of 140 men were used on
the fires with Roger Thannum,
fire control chief for the forest,
and Ranger Dale Arnold in charge.
The fires were from sawdust piles
on contracts logged by Rex Brown.
A one-day situation of fire oc-
Cured last Friday on Reid creek,

Camera on Desert Mt.
Tracking Jet Stream

CORAM-Desert mountain that
looks down on Coram, Martin City
Hungry Horse and Bad Rock can
yon is the site of a lookout station
that will be Flathead National For
est's cloud photography headquar-
ters this summer.
Manning the station are Mr.. and
Mrs. Harvey Kom, Bottineau, N
OAK, who have just attended a
cloud school at Priest River. He
is a forestry student.
This is the second year for the
cloud photography at D ser
mountain, which last summer was
one of three Flathead stations, to
have the specially adapted Gamer
as.
Objective, according to Jack
Barrows, Missoula, regional chief
of fire research, is to find major
cloud breeding areas of this region,
Next is to establish storm tracks,
and finally to study the jet stream
airflow in the stratosphere.
The camera on Desert mountain,
like others scattered over Northern
Idaho and Western Montana, has
an electric solenoid that opens the
shutter once every two seconds
Results will be an hours cloud
movement that can be projected
on a screen in two minutes
Changes in cloud formation are
readily apparent.
Entering the whole picture, ac-
cording to Barrows, is the jet
stream, the river of air that flows
from west to east in the substrato-
sphere. American high bombers
over Japan during World War II
provided the first large scale con-
tact with this air river that varies
from 10 to 300 miles wide.
In winter, the jet stream is US
ually found southerly, and in
summer, it is occasionally found
in the stratosphere over Montana
Weather variations sometimes
find the air river shift northward
in winter. The situation may be
either a cause or effect of weather,
according to federal meterologists
Particular interest of the forest
photography is to see the correla-
ton of the jet stream and light
ming occurrence.

teachers salaries. There is sail
for salaries; $11,939 for admins
trative salaries, $4,000 for jani-
tors. District 6 teachers were raised
about 10 per cent last year, and
local teachers have the highest
minimum Flathead county wages.

mentary budget include: text
book, $4,000, supplies of instruc-
ton $4,000, grounds and buildings
maintenance $1,000, equipment

water, $4,000, library $1,000, in
surance and rent $4,000 new equip
ment $4,000, teacher retirement,
$5,673.
The high school budget of $82,-
312 calls for $54,768 for teachers
salaries, $9,307 for administration
and $3,500 janitors, textbook cost
is $1,000, supplies Of instruction
$987, repairs to buildings and
grounds $1,4O0, equipment $1,000,

portation with the state, county
and district splitting support three
ways. High school transportation
budget is to be $10,728.10; last
year it was $9,289; grade schools
