Bridqe Finished

A worthy project was completed this week as
the rebuilt bridge at Polebridge was opened for
traffic.
It was difficult undertaking. Flathead county
is short of funds for roads and bridges, and there
was the thought that Glacier National Park should
provide its own access facilities After all the fed
eral government seems to have unlimited millions.
The county held out to thoroughly explore the
possibility of bridge being rebuilt altogether with
federal funds When this appeared impossible, the
county commissioners and park officials got to-
gether and decided to rebuild the rustic timber and
plank bridge. This whole development has been
over two or three years with construction underway
last winter.
Apparent cost OF rebuilding the bridge appears
to be near $4,000 with the park and county each
spending about half.
The bridge continues to be an interesting radl-
ton for the Polebridge ranger station and post office
name. There are many concrete and steel bridges,
and few of rustic construction. One wouldn't want
to drive over Is miles an hour across the rebuilt
bridge but it substantial serves its purpose, and
is of considerable convenience and economic Sc
quence
Another serious bridge problem is the crossing
above Coram out since last July s. First there was
talk of temporary repairs, and then some SUCH dlg-
use as 100000 steel and concrete bridge. In the
meantime inconvenience for loggers, fishermen and
others continue.
It is certainly to the Flathead's advantage to
continue Improvement of bridges and roads up Its

"More visitors, less money In 1916, Congress
appropriated rs million dollars for the park system
more than five times much as the average al
lotment during the years, and nearly double
the largest pre-war figure
"In 1947 and 1948, when the number of visitors
to the parks increased 20 per cent Congress sliced
appropriations so per cent The appropriation was
lacked up to 80 million in 1949, and since has
been averaging slightly more than that"
However park officials point out that 80 mil
lion dollars in the 1950s will not close to buy
ing what Is million dollars would in 1947."
The U. S. News article quotes Montana's Con-
gresham Metcaf who points out that the funds
have been split IS per cent for roads, % per cent
for facilities with the result that Americans have
better safer, speedier to deteriorating ia
cles" Our thought IS that this is true; we certainly
needed the roads and more.
It is interesting to read national article on To-
cal features and then compare what they have to
say with our own ideas.
We believe tremendous strides have been made
in developing housing accommodations in and near
Glacier by various motel and cabin camps. Still
lacking is suitable convention facility on the west
side of the park.
One should not expect to develop housing to the
extent that every visitor will find place to sleep
July g. and S. The park season is short enough as
it is Motel should anticipate something like
rs day occupancy, and then there are 29O days
with no return. Sleeping in is not desirable, but
as long as there are peak days such as July 4th
will continue.
There is the new Apgar campground, but we
question that campground development and repair
has been anywhere what is needed.
Here in the Flathead we have been even more
lax. The Creston Grange had worthy picnic table
project but otherwise camper and trailer visit
ors and those with picnic baskets find lack OF ia
cilites from Flathead lake to the park The Hungry
Horse community has a good idea in plans for a
parking picnic table facility
Most of us think in terms Of Glacier as Mon
tana asset and of the why we like to live
in the Flathead. Over the state chambers OF COM
merce and service clubs go out after highways anc
similar projects. Our thought is that Montana is
proud of Glacier, and at the same time takes the
park for granted. We do not seem to do much about
more financial support for the national parks. MF

Doq Problems

Columbia Falls city council is energetically
tackling the problem of dogs.
Mayor Herman Benzien, most members of the
council, and many in the community have been
irrtated by dogs who disdain small evergreens, dig
in flower beds and otherwise make themselves
nuisances.
Result is that the mayor and council Monday
instructed Attorney James Cumming to draw up
stiff dog control ordinance with penalties. "Have
them keep their dogs a leash or in pens"
There has never been shortage of ordinances
in Columbia Falls. This small city has them by the
dozens.
Enforcement of the ordinance that requires
dogs to be licensed is better than it has been.
Some years ago most dogs in the city lacked licenses
Columbia Falls also has ordinances that provide
for removing trash piles and clean alleys; not that
this has been particularly achieved For that matter
there is a regulation against use of frecrackers in
the city. BY the din of few weeks hence, we can
see how that ordinance will be Obeyed.
This community has good, overworked police
force consisting of man. In addition there is
general tolerance the part OF the community
regarding most local rules.
For part, will continue to keep fences
around fir trees at the Hungry Horse News office
seriously consider electric shocker, chase dogs
away from the rose bushes, and have fence
around flowers at the house. Furthermore it dis
turbs when our dog bothers other people, and
we want him to stay at home.
Dogs are problem There are lot of dogs
and lot of problems in this city.
We question that the path of good citizenship
and respect for law and order is achieved by con-
tnual adding of ordinances, and then proceed to
mostly ignore enforcement.
The dog on leash or in pen provision as
favored by Columbia Falls city council certainly
calls for stringent enforcement Many cities over
the land are in continual uproar on similar pro-
visions 1t will be quite chew for Columbia Falls.

Park Pains

Further indication Of Glacier National Park as
an economic asset as well as its growing pains are
found in the current issue of u S. News and World
Report.
The national magazine has article: ~. S. Is
Outgrowing Its Parks"
Glacier one of the IL most popular parks, is
shown as having 264 per cent visitor increase from
1910 when the travel was 177,0O0 compared to the
anticipated $4,000 in 1855 Last year it was 608,230
Only two Of the IL show greater percentage IN
crease OF visitors than Glacier. Grand Teton from
100000 in 1910 to 100000 in 1855, and Olympic
from $4,000 to 100000 Visitor traffic to Yosemite
Grand Canyon, Rocky Mountain and Yellowstone
more than doubled in is years. In Glacier It has
more than tripled. -
u S. News summary is that there are more
people than the parks accommodate. "l9 million
Americans, in every 8, win visit national parks
this year BY the same Limb ratio-25 million
Americans will visit the parks in 1875. But-the
parks are equipped to handle only million people
To accommodate the crowds, these things are be-
ing proposed: Set up more parks Ban automobiles
Charge higher fees. Ration use OF the parks. Pro-
hibit overnight camping. Keep hotels, restaurants
and stores outside the parks.
U. S. News sees: parks overrun like conven-
ton cities Scenery viewed from bumper bumper
traffic te-ups vacationng families sleeping in their
cars. Solution for the years ahead: Enlarge the
parks or ration the number OF visitors"
The national magazine has interesting points:
sThe enthusiasm Of the people for the parks has
not been reflected, however, IN appropriations oy
Congress for their operation, maintenance and ex-
pansion In 1941, according to park officials, IA
cilities were adequate for the million people VINO
visited the parks. But this year the ~ million VINO
are expected to 60 to the parks for recreation Will

/ OLD LANDMARK GONE
During the past month there has
been great deal of activity around
the site of the old Bolton village
where the last of the original
buildings, the Bolton hotel was
RACED and burned. This hotel was
originally IL room log building,
built in 1893 while this area was
practically wilderness area with
few homesteaders. 1t was built by
Ed Dow on land he homesteaded-
directly across the tracks from the
Great Northern depot which was
then box car, with a second box
car used for home by the agent
and his family.
Several feet away was the log
cabin that served the Dow family
as home. This was the building
that was later moved nearer the
river and for years served as an
ice house. 80
This then was the beginning of
Bolton. The hotel was added to
and boarded over in the early
1900s but remained fairly print
tive in light of present day hotel
accommodations. Tourists arriving
at night entered an empty lobby
and registered. They would then
start looking for a room with an
open door. Presumably, this would
mean the room was unoccupied
and available since there were no
keys to the rooms. And a great
many of the visitors arrived at
night since the Western Star, then
known as the Oriental Limited,
arrived at 10 pm. rather than dur
ing the afternoon, as it now does.
4 If the visitors were going into
the Lake Mcdonald area, Mr..
Dow would row them across the
river, load them into a blackboard
and take them on their bouncing
trip through the cedar swamps
/ along the new road to the foot of
Lake Mcdonald.
Until U. S. No. was finished,
: tourists would stay at the hotel
: until their cars could be put on a
, train and hauled across the con-
tinental divide.
This hotel served as commune
5 ty center for over a quarter of a

esting to listen to the old timers

Comments on News
Cancer Editorial

Dear Editor:
/ was very much pleased with
your editorial on Fund Drives in
the June third issue of the Hungry
Horse News. Being County Com
mander of the American Cancer
Society in Flathead, and in charge
of our service program, there is
one correction I would like to
make.
1t was idle hearsay that two in
stances of need for financial aid
in Columbia Falls were turned
down by ASC. Whoever gave you
that information wanted an untrue
excuse to ease their minds in not
giving to the local crusade for
funds in this years drive.
The family must make applica-
ton to me for a patient in need.
In turn, the family doctor deter
mines the indigency of his pa
tients, and I, in turn, act upon his
recommendation. It might be in
teresting for you to know, no medi-
cally indigen. in Columbia Falls
has been turned down for the
small amount of aid we can give.
One of four will have Cancer
sometime during his lifetime. II
all the funds collected in the Unit
ed States by the American Cancer
Society be used for service to the
cancer patient, only approximately
$27 could be allowed each person
having cancer, and there would be
nothing left for research and edu-
cation. Until we have more funds
with which to work, we concen-
trate our efforts in the fields OF re-
search and education, hoping t.
find the cause and cure OF thi'
dreaded disease, and educating tn
people to be ever alert to the dang
er signals OF cancer, so that cur
