President Eisenhower was re-
ported willing today to compro-
mise on highway and housing
legislation in an effort to get
bills through Congress in its
closing days.
A highly placed Republican
who asked not to be named said
the President has indicated he
will settle for action In this ses-
sion on five major bills: Military
reserve, atomic ship. foreign
aid and some kind Of housing
and road building measures.
The President was represented
as giving high priority in con-
ferences with G. o. P. leaders to
school construction, minimum
wage, polio vaccine and Upper
Colorado development measures.
But he apparently was not in
sisting on their consideration If
that would delay adjournment
unduly.

Dear Senator Mansfield:
''In reply to your inquiry of
October 9th, / wish to say that the
Montana State Highway Commits
sion would offer no objection to
the placing of the existing Forest
Service road extending north from
Columbia Falls, and crossing the
North Fork of the Flathead river
at Polebridge, upon the Federal
Aid Secondary Highway System.
"Under the provisions of the
Federal Aid Highway Act, how
ever, the request that the road be
placed on the Secondary Highway
System would have to be initiated
by the Board of County Commits
Sioners of Flathead county. Justi-
fication for the action, as request
ed, would have to be shown, and
the concurrence in the action by
the Bureau of Public Roads would
be necessary.

New Courthouse

Has the Flathead an adequate courthouse
building?
Certainly the structure has pleasing setting,
and it is large building though not large enough.
In their plaster cracked office reached by a
huffng and putting series of stairways Flathead
county commissioners studying the courthouse
problem.
In downtown Kalispen, total of $4,260 each
year is being paid out rent by the county to house
the county agent, county library, county attorney
and justice of the peace.
At the time there is awareness of in
adequate county jail It is too small and apparently
obsolete.
Commissioners have talked about a county Of
flee building, which it would requires bond
issue approved by the voters.
1t is about time for the Flathead to give some
thought to its courthouse building and whether it
should be replaced, improved or have an office an
mex new courthouse should be built within 10
years, wisdom of erecting county office building
at this time is questionable. Mr.

feet. Brown for example has new mill in Coram
representing an investment of $250,0OO, and it pro-
vdes jobs for men as do other comparatively new
developments at Martin City and Cosam.
Now discussion concerns low level hauling
bridge whose planking could be removed during
the planks, and will such bridge satisfy users.
Another question is would the Flathead approve
bond issue for new bridge here, and for that
matter bond issue for half of a new bridge at
Polebridge?
Secondary road money is being used for the
Holt bridge and two new roads in the Kalis-
pell Would Kalispell voters in turn help this
end of the county, and should we spend county
money for these bridges?
The Flathead is familiar with prospect that
someday the North Fork road will provide route
north over Akamina pass into Waterton National
Park. This will give Glacier and Waterton needed
loop highway Akamina pass offers much less grade
and fraction OF construction difficulties encoun-
cred in reaching either Logan pass or Summit on
U. S. highway No. 2. We've driven Aka
nina pass from Cameron lake down into the Flat
head drainage for six or eight miles truck
road. There's an absence of steep grades and cliffs
Furthermore Waterton wants that route improved
Flathead commissioners are approaching the
whole problem cautiously 1t is not something new
and they interested in the opinions of individ-
ualS and groups
There is good reason to have series of con-
ferences this winter between Flathead county COM
mssioners, Flathead National Forest officials ogg
ers, and civic groups. We shouldn't forget Cana
dams who are interested in access road into
Waterton park from the southwest.
Future of the road up the North Fork is of grea
consequence to the economy of the Flathead. It's
project that has been years in coming, and there
have certainly been great strides in the 1906 MF

local (Missoula) office of the Bu-
reau of Public Roads that a por-
ton of this project North Fork)
would probably be eligible for in
clusion in the system at an early
date.
''This opinion is based partially
on the fact that Flathead county
has relatively few miles on the
system, but is eligible for rela-
lively large allotment for secon-
Diary roads. How much of the road
would be included in the system
would depend on results of the
Cratic Density study, but it is
considered unlikely that it would
be more than the section between
Columbia Falls and Polebridge."
Other important information
to the future of the North Fork
road is the state highway depart
ment traffic census. At Junkins
ranch In 1851 there was As We
hicles per day. In 1858 the count
was 100 vehicles per day. Just
north OF Columbia Falls, the aver
age daily traffic rose to 452 cars
a day in 1858.
Last June mechanical counter
at Big Creek listed 1859 two axle
loads and 202 two axle loads a day
in July with about so per cent of
the traffic logging vehicles.

ly more than is necessary to in

tiles expressed by the Flathead
county Board of Commissioners.
At the present time, there are
other presently approved second
airy highways within Flathead
county for which earlier construc-
ton priorities have been requested
by the county authorities.
"Inasmuch as the state match
ing funds for Federal Aid second
airy road construction are limited
by state law, insofar as the var
ious counties are concerned, it is
question in my mind whether or
not the Flathead county commits
sioners would be desirious of de-
ferring their presently planned
secondary road construction in or
der to give the Polebridge struc-
ture over the North Fork of the
Flathead river a higher priority
This is matter, of course, which
the county commissioners would
have to decide. The State Highway
Commission, all things considered,
would be bound to accept the
construction priorities recommend
ed by the commissioners.
Hoping that the above explain
alton will give you clear picture
of the situation, and of its posi-
bilities, am sincerely

Toun Alive

We tip our hats to the Hungry Horse commun-
ity in their effort to stay alive and grow.
Hungry Horse was established as boom town
next to the Hungry Horse government camp.
There were mistakes in its founding Land pro-
moters were too interested in having block after
block of business district lots for sale with the result
that Hungry Horse emerged here and there with a
store. Instead it is businesses next to each other
that make for business There were too many people
interested in making 'fast buck" instead of earn
ing living and having good home. Hungry Horse
even had two water companies where there should
have been one.
However there is no reason for other towns to
be SNUG about what handicapped Hungry Horse.
Each of the other communities had some of the
same problems
Developments that resulted in Hungry Horse
becoming spread out in the past. The future is
encouraging. 1t is result of people with Wis
ion and energy.
Hungry Horse has good location on U. S
highway No. next to project offices for Hungry
Horse Dam and the government housing which is
part of the whole community.
There was fine demonstration of vision on tn.
part of Hungry Horse residents when they decides
that vacant tracts along u S. highway No. 2 in thu
community should be made into grassed parks will
picnic tables That is converting weed lots init
community assets.
Now the Hungry Horse Community club ha
purchased the pumice block Mint building for
community center, and they are doing fine job o
raising the $4,000 purchase price.
1t is the working together of people toWar,
healthy detectives such a community hall tina
provides the sparks that bring progress.
The whole Flathead benefits if communities tina
make up this county grow and prosper.
In Hungry Horse the key to getting together TO
the common benefit has been those roadside park
and the community hall. Success after all
getting something done in a constructive way. MI
