made Friday.
M. M. Flint, district engineer at
the Missoula BPR office will open

ton.
This long-awaited new con-
struction will eliminate the most
dangerous section of U. S. highway
No. 2 known as the Devils Ell
bow" The sub-standard section of
road that twists and climbs the
mountain was constructed in 1925
and 1926.
The new highway will follow the
Flathead rivers Middle Fork, be-
tween the river and the Great Nor
them mainline for most of the Sc
miles.
Since the construction will be
new road for the most part, mini
mum interference with u. S. high
way No. 2 traffic is expected next
summer.
The contract calls for two over
passes over the Great Northern,
one 1863 feet long and the other 2Os
feet. Only two sections of the pres
ent road, totaling $500 feet in
length will be used.
Quantities involved in the con-
tract are to include 100000 cubic
yards of excavation; 3,750,0O(
yards of overhaul; 1,495 yards OF
concrete, 188,500 pounds of struc.

County Asks for North Fork Highway

fldLnedQ county commissioners
this week wrote the Montana State
Highway commission in Helena re-
questing that the road up the Flat
head rivers North Fork be made
a part of the secondary system.
Scott P. Hart, state highway en-
gineer, last fall said that the re-.
quest would be granted.
The commissioners in their let
ter pointed out that the road would
provide circle loop for Glacier
and Waterton Lakes National Park
with the connection to be at Cam
eron lake in Alberta.
Commenting on the letter, Com
missioner Henry w. Irwin of
Whitefish, representing the north
ern part of the county, said that
95 per cent of lands served by the
road are federally owned, and the
improved road would serve the
west side of Glacier National
Park as well as provide access to
timber in Flathead National For
est.
Irwin along with Reu Carr, Ores
ton, chairman of the board OF
county commissioners, and Harley
Houston, Kalipsel, all favor i'm
provement of the North Fork road
to become highway into Water
ton and Alberta.
While the commissioners are rec
ommending that the North Fork
road be made part of the Sec
ondary system, they are hoping
that some way will be found tt
have it become part of the fores
| highway secondary system which
would result in all construction
funds from federal sources.
AS part of the state secondar,

money would come from stat

Mutuals Hawaii Calls" program
was devised by Web Edwards back
in '35 to debunk the legend about
Hawaiians roaming the 4S states
strumming ukuleles and singing
"alleged songs of the islands"
Edwards ire was aroused-and he
decided to watt true Hawaiian mu-
sic directly to the states. The pro-
grams long run on the network was
interrupted only once-by Pearl
,Harbor's bombardment.
Tex Fletcher, whose "Wagoh
Train" rolls on Mutual, used to be
HoIIyWood's only Ieft-handed cow
boy hero. That was in the mid-30s,
when the guns he sIung were spe-
ciaIiy made for him, as we'll as his
guitar, for portside play. He started
a trend in the flicker capital-for

had little leisure TO enjoy the
