$4 Barrier

We believe decision of the National Park Serv-
ice to double entrance fees for Glacier is ill-ad-
vised.
In effect the new fee schedule represents 1OC
per cent increase for vacationers and a 400 pei
cent boost for residents of Montana.
Glaciers fee schedule for two years ago was
flat 81. Then year ago it was increased to 81 fol
the season 81 for up to Is days. Effective We'd
nesday it was boosted to 81 for the season and So
for the two week period. A flat 81 fee for all
ers would seem sensible, and more practical to
administer. An increase from 81 was overdue some
years ago.
Seeing Glacier to many Montana residents is
drive early in the summer a picnic or two at
Avalanche or Two Medicine, and then another
drive in August Henceforth such a summer sched-
ue will cost 81 at the gate. Certainly the family
that spends full week ten days in Glacier ($2)
receives more value.
OF course there are those among us who spend
a lot of time in Glacier, fishing its streams and
using its roads and trails. No fishing license is re-
quired, which is sizeable saving. Roads in the
mountain area are expensive to build and maintain.
Furthermore the nceased fee is being charged
with the idea of making Glacier and other national
parks nearly pay their way.
Perhaps better system would be to charge
81 for fishing in Glacier, and small seasons fee
for campground use, though collection would be a
problem.
Montana residents who spend considerable time
in the park should not complain at paying 81 year.
Those who take few afternoon drives during the
summer will find the 400 per cent increased fee
over two years ago. an invitation to stay away.
Relationship of a national park with neigh
boring areas presents complex problems. There's
one million acres in Glacier off tax rolls that di-
rectly support local government, and land minus
farming, ranching and logging is such that few
families directly supported. On the other hand
benefits of having national park are tremendous,
and in our opinion exceed what could be obtained
from conventional We do not realize the full
extent to which Glacier has helped build the tourist
service businesses here and all over Montana.
People who live national park tend to
take these dedicated areas for granted. In any
event charging 81 fee after it was 81,
will certainly create new awareness of Glacier in
these parts. MR.

Back to Work

It's good to be optimistic again. depression
from strike psychology had become widespread
that even local persons on federal payrolls were
talking about waiting until the strike was over be-
fore they bought new car.
An area can never be proud of strike. 1t rep
resents the inability of management and labor to
compromise their differences around a conference
table Furthermore the Flathead had long wished
and even prayed for Hungry Horse Dam and then
industry brought by dam that would help bring
year around employment 1t is sad commentary to
add that major ten-week strike interrupted con-
struction of the plant
Looking back at the whole affair, think a
major mistake made by Anaconda taking the
stand here of absolutely wage increases" True
ACM had similar problems elsewhere. From the
Flathead standpoint we think the issue should have
been kept alive with negotiations which means
counter offers The union proposed 20 cents and
then Is cents, and the answer was nothing. Result
was the strike, and the only way for practical
settlement became wage increase. We wonder
if there had been a different approach if the wage
increase would have been less, and the men would
not have been idle. That we would have preferred
We hope wise heads among the labor group are
continuing to look at the whole picture OF the Fiat
head and its costs.
We trust there is realization of a situation
where costs can price Flathead products off the
market Weather. freight rates, distance to markets,
extent and worth of materials, availability,
skill and fair cost of labor and presence of capital
are essentials for industry finding an area good To-
cation for manufacturing plant.
Wages have increased in the Flathead, and it
would seem with Hungry Horse Dam construction
that wages in the past ten years have increased In
this area at faster pace than they have elsewhere
Before the dam, this area was likely starvation"
wage section.
Our thought is that with carpenters getting $2.65
an hour there is increased responsibility for the
union and the carpenters to separate craftsmen
from the wood butchers. A good carpenter is worth
S265 an hour and even more, and this is good
thought to be kept in mind as it applies to all
crafts Full objective is to do good days work
for good days pay and keep wages up.
We wonder if the United States has experienced
another ten-week old strike that observed rules of
courtesy so completely as did the development here
This is to the credit of contractor representatives
the unions and their individual members. There
were others pitching An example was Bob Bennett
of KGEZ who watched the situation like hawk,
and used his energy to avoid unpleasantness.

year. Total BPA investment in
the Pacific Northwest is $300,000,-
900 and total revenues are $40,-
100000 per year. Thus, Montana
presently has 8 per cent of the
total investment and percent of
the revenues, which will rise in a
year to more than 8 per cent.
Bonneville has a total of $500
employees, of which exactly "a
are living and working in Mon
tana. These "a employees are less
than l per cent of BPA's total
payroll, yet they must operate and
maintain 8 per cent of the total
system which is spread over all
Western Montana or 10 per cent
of BPA's operating area.
These "a employees cannot pos
sibly perform all of the work in
volved in running the Montana
transmission system "a hours per
day, 7 days per week, so the extra
work involved is performed by
travelling engineers, technicians
and work gangs from Spokane and
Portland. These federal workers
live and keep their families in the
States of Washington and Oregon.
They spend their paychecks and
pay their taxes there from income
derived by working in the State
of Montana on federal funds allo-
Gated for the State of Montana.
During the past years the BPA
working force in Montana has
been cut roughly in half of that
planned for this stage of the de-
velopment. This reduction in Mon
tana's BPA forces is still going on
in spite of advice to the contrary
and promises by Administration
officials that the employee reduc-
ton process had stopped in this
state. This curtailment seems to
be part of general policy, applied
without regard to local situations.
1t has been repeatedly proposed
from Washington, D. c., Portland
and Spokane during the past year
and one half, that the Montana
office of BPA in Kalispell be clos
ed and that BPA's big Montana
operation be managed from Spo-
zane, two states away. Now ord
srs have been drafted by BPA to
eliminate the Montana Managers
position and to manage BPA acti-
yities in Montana from Spokane.
If Montana had 5 per cent of the
Bonneville payroll, which would '
eem to be fair share considering s
he size of the BPA operation in
his state, there would be prime
ayroll of at least $500,000 spent
ere with Montana merchants. AS +
is, Montana is getting only +
lightly more than 100000 per S
ear in payrolls from the operation C

Montana,StI| the Upstream Colony

| Don Treloar with j. G.. Edmis-
ton and Al Winkler were the trio
that sparked the Flathead Citizens
committee, countrywide organiza-
ton that did more than any other
group to make Hungry Horse Dam,
a reality.
Treloar is a member of the
Bonneville advisory council, and is
well versed with the problem of
Montana and its water resources.
by Don TreIoar
To the people who live in the
coastal regions of this Great Paci-
fic Northwest, Montana appears to
be just place where raw materials
come from and where a limited
amount of juicy trading business
can be counted on, year after year.
1t is possible to find otherwise in
telligent Oregonians or Washing
tonians who think of Montana as
the abode of Indians and grizzly
bears, gold miners and fur trad
ers. 1t all adds up to the fact that
Montana still has colonial status,
as least so far as Spokane, Seattle
and Portland is concerned.
Before Hungry Horse Dam was
built, provident Montanans wise
ly inserted a clause in the Hungry
Horse act which provides that all
prime power from Hungry Horse
Dam must be sold for use within
the State of Montana. Furthermore
an equal amount of power, from
that generated downstream in 9TH
er states by reason of Hungry
Horse storage, is brought back to
Montana for use within the state
as matter of policy and equit-
able distribution. Our state gov
ernors for many years have jeal-
ously guarded Montana's interest
in our great Northwest rivers and
have wisely insisted on Montana's
share of the benefits arising there
from. The Montana membership
on the Interstate Compact Com
is charged with the re-
sponsibility of protecting our Mon
tana interest in both the Montana
waters and the hydroelectT1c pow
er which they produce in this state
or downstream.
We therefore assume that Mon I
ana's water and power resources
ire being guarded by Montana ]
people. However, there is now '
trong reason to believe that Mon
ana is being short changed on the ]
benefits that go with its water s
nd power interests.
When Montana got Hungry
Iorse Dam, Bonneville Power Ad- (
also moved into our /
tate. Bonneville is the marketing i
gency that contracts and sells S
ederal power from twelve dams y
4 the Pacific Northwest. Bonne- o
lille also builds, maintains. and S
perates, the federal transmission p
mes and substations. Il
Bonneville has $24,000,000 worth
transmission lines and substa- s.
ons in Montana and is presently il

BIG PRAIRIE

(Glacier National Park)
Big Prairie, what lovely view!
Few have known it, declarel
God, the Creator, always knew,
And placed the mountains there
He put the violets in the woods,
The bluebells nodding in the
breeze,
The red paintbrush along the roads
And the aspen trees.
Dashing mountain streams, He
gave,
With fish for the anglers line.
To please the human eye, He gave
The yellow pine.
He gave the great broad-antlered
moose,
Denizen of the swamps.
The green and grassy uplands
Where the young deer romps.
Snow-capped mountains, forests,

He gave for our delight.
Bright-hued flowers, soft blue

With birds in flight.
