Duckinq Bullets

There's new twist in this matter of ducking
bullets in the Flathead. Last week there was the
report of unthinking shooting the edge of Col
umbia Falls with bullets coming into the city.
Now there are incidents at Coram of the target
apparently being Great Northern trains. In one in
stance the window of freight engine hit, and
in the other case, the BIB went through a caboose
window.
railroadman told us that when the engine
window broke, the engineer and firemen were so
concerned that train operation was momentarny in
terfered with. If the following train hadn't been
slow, there might have been wreck.
We think that boys growing up in this outdoor
country should have guns, but important
learn how to them safely.
This matter of not caring where bullet goes
or realizing the damage bullet causes is dangerous
for all of us.
Great Northern trains, insulators, windows
stop signs horses and other people certainly not
targets Please be careful. Mr.

Streets and Sidewalks

Columbia Falls needs further street improve
ments and also more realistic approach is neces-
sary in the matter of sidewalks.
First street hard-Surfaclng resulted from prop
erty owners agreeing to contribute so much lot
for oil and gravel with the town providing equip
ment and labor. Such project took place on Nu-
cleus avenue about ten years ago.
Then in 1851 there was 2O-block oilng project
on voluntary basis as before with property
ers to contribute. One third of them did not with
the result that the town government had to make
up about $1,000. Some of those who had promised
to pay for the oil didn't, and others just weren't
interested.
That soured the town government to prop
erty getting together with the city to oil
streets.
Two years ago special improvement district
was formed to place "plant-mix" on Nucleus ave-
nue. and Railroad street and also Sixth street to
the school This $4,000 improvement includ-
ing cost of supervising engineer.
Columbia Falls decided that the way to have
good improvement was to have regular engineer
ing supervision. Property owners in this case are
paying $3.50 plus interest for 25-foot lot over
ten year period.
It is poor job and long before the street is
paid for it should be rebuilt.
Yet the city must proceed with improving
Streets and the thought again is for property own
ers to get together the project block by block
The city will furnish equipment and labor with
property owners paying for the oil and perhaps
gravel.
Experience should be teacher. Future grief will
be avoided money is collected before the improve
ments are made. If property owners are not inter
ested in the less expensive voluntary method OF
contributing for oil, the only practical solution
special Improvement district with hard-surfacing
charged to taxes.
Columbia Falls present sidewalk policy pro-
vides for eight foot boulevards. In city with so
few sidewalks there seems to be good opportunity
to adopt the modern pattern of curbs with adjacent
sidewalks instead of splitting yards.
Some folks feel that the town doesn't need
sidewalks The need is certainly less in this auto
mobile age, but children still walk to school
The whole problem of streets and sidewalks is
important to the future of Columbia Falls.
AS it is today, this city of 1000 has just one
small section with satisfactory street and curbs. 1t
is Third Avenue West where property owners IN
1851 got together and paid for oilng and curb as
well.
Let's work together to get out of the mud. Mr.

word Noble county gets set to enjoy the many features
OF the 1O3rd such gathering to be held this community
Much has been said and written about the county fair
and there who would have you believe that it is
rapidly becoming thing of the past.
But just take aunt the state of Ohio this fall and
at every county fair you will gathering that seldom
witnessed at any other time during the year
There is something about county fair that appeals
the young and old and although times have certainly
changed doubt the county fair will be reegated
to that which foreahers enjoyed but much
the present generation.
The county fair has been built around a theme that
will appeal to both the youngsters and their parents
AS matter of fact feel safe in saying that the
fourH clubs rapidly taking the county fair for
would lose much of its interest, if the fourth members
would suddenly pull out with their many exhibits including
cattle calves wearing apparel and the hundreds of other
items that go to make up fourth club work.
Be that may are certain the 103rd county fair
will live up to its advance expectations and all who attend
will benefit in way another.
