stream 10 times that of the Mississippi
at flood stage. However, the glacier
recovered quickly and plugged the gap
again for a long period of time, letting
the water out more slowly after the
first big break. Each major drop in the
level of the lake left shoreline as a
record of the event. Erosion has round
ed these shorelines. but they are visible
around the cage of the ancient lake.
Some have thought these faint shore
lines to have been made by the move
ment of game animals. If they we're
buffalo or whatever animals, they had
TO carry a level to have maintained
perfect water level line. Often these
shore lines are visible for miles along
the mountains that at one time sur
rounded the lake.
Shore lines were first observed by
geologist Chamberlain in 1885. In 1910
Earl Douglas wrote report published
bv the University of Montana. In 1912
j. 7. Pardee of the USGS wrote re-
port giving the estimates of size as
stated above.
The time of the duration of the
lake does not seem to be estimated,
but the period that ice held the water
captive while it lashed the shores was a
long time. These few, brief words are
very inadequate to describe such a
phenomenon as occurred at one time in

AT ONE TIME a long narrow lake
extended from the mouth of the Skal-
kabo River about three miles south OF
Hamilton for approximately 200 miles
to a point Just above the state line
whore the Clark's Fork River leaves
Montana as It runs into Idaho. All of
this was during the time of glaciers
when finger of the Cordilleran Lobe
extended from the north down into
Lake Pend Oreille. 1t followed the lake
bed and up the channel of the Clark
Fork making a great dam near the
Montana-Idaho line.
The drainage for great watershed
was cut off The ice rose high IN the
canyon making a wall of water over
1000 feet deep, and forcing it back into
the narrow valleys above. There were
10 valleys branching out like the
branches of tree. The MissOula Val
lev was the largest with an estimated
area of 400 square miles under water.
Camas Prairie had an estimated 30
square miles of lake bed. The Mission
locke and Little Bitter Root were in the
system along with great numbers OF
smaller areas. The total land estimated
under water was 1895 square miles,
with total volume of 500 cubic miles
of water
At one time in the history of the lake
there was a great breakthrough. The
glacier weakened, letting out water at

This sort of politicking must
cease in the Village.
Recently, the Council was al
most split over the sewer stu
alton and the President and
Water Commissioner were called
to attend a meeting in Blue
Island over a delinquent water
bill. The roads have become
more than a subject to talk
about, and the need for a Vii
lage Hall is acute. The Police
Department needs streamlining,
and the Fire Department needs
more help. The children need a
playground, more street lights
are needed and a recreation hall
also. All these needs, and the
politicians harp on what they
have done in the past. The
time has come to lay out plans
that even a child understand.
We need more constructive &C
ton and planning and doing in
the Village instead of so much
talk.
The leaders say the people
in the Village will not support
or become interested in good,
constructive programs, that they

If the programs were attractive
enough, the council and leaders

always. Too, we have yet to
see the political parties really
find out just what the people
want and need. We have yet
to see questionaires circulated
in the Village asking the people
what they want or how they
would go about solving prob
lens. We have yet to see house
to house campaigns, in or out
of election seasons. The people
and their needs seem to have
been forgotten. Give the govern
ment back to the people. A
few wise heads in political par
ties don't know it all.

In most other states, land prices

land price weakness in the North

The greatest gain in dollar value

that area during the past year ap-
parently held nearer that of the
previous year than in most other
regions of the country. Much Of the

the price of land than changes in
