Council Takes First Step
for New Wafer System

This week T. A. Taschereau,
engineer of Flathead county,
who a few weeks ago was en-
ployed to figure the cost of the
project, has been in conference
with the Town council.
Submitting several estimates
based upon the type and size of
flow lines, the proposal accepted
provides for a 1O-inch pipe, the
termination being as follows:
One-17,0O0 feet flow line from
reservoir to Browning, $53, 1884, SO.
Two-400, 600 gallon reservoir,
complete, l7,454.55.
Three-8,300-feet flow line from
springs to reservoir, S23,620.
Four-5.8oO-feet service line in
Town of Browning, $13,247.05.
Total cost S1O8,210.2e. Engin-
eering fee s7,41O.51 Complete
cost $115,62O.8O.
The new line would be built of
Transite pipe, manufactured by
the Johns-Manville corporation.
Cheaper by far than metal, its

Power Line to Be
Extended from Bubb
To Many Glacier

The B&H Construction Com
pany last week began construc-
ton of power line for Glacier
County Electric Cooperative from
Babb to the Many Glacier hotel.
Preliminary work includes
clearing Of forest growth for
20-foot risht-of-way for the
line. distance of approx
mately IS miles. With that
completed, installation of the
line will begin, and $50 poles
will be set.
Extension of power facilities
to the Many Glacier Hotel will
enable the Great Northern Hotel
Co. to abandon use of a small
hydroelectric plant in use since
the building of the hotel some
years ago. With need of more
power facilities now, the Babb
line is making possible the i'm
provement.
Another extension is also to
be constructed this summer for
the Electric Cooperative, plans
for which are being completed by
E. Rudman, manager The B G. H
Construction Co. will also have
this contract, it is understood.

durability in the appraisement of
the U. S. Bureau of Standards,
will prevail for 1873 years, thus
spanning a period of time that
will witness the extinction of
several generations of the pres
ent population of Browning. In
other words when the new sys-
tenn took on old age the calendar
would be for the year 1908.
The new system would de.
liver $4,000 gallon. Of
water TO Browning every "a
hours, II need be. or the
equivalent Of the needs Of a
city Of 10000 population.
The new system would elimi-
nate the present water tank of
$4,000 gallon capacity. Under
standing is that up to $4,000
could be realized from the sale
of the metal in the tank.
The new systems reservoir,
which like the tank, would be
constructed of metal, would be
cylindrical in shape and located
a mile or so down from the
springs. Its height above the
ground would be determined by
engineering judgment as to pro-
vide the desired gravity for wat
er pressure.
AS a foreword in the appeal
for Transite pipe, representa-
tive of the Johns-Manville cor
poration showed a talkie film at
Todd's Steak House Tuesday eve

Gil and number of other citi-
zens being there to get first-hand

The program for the evening
also honored the Past Masters
of Glacier Lodge. All Past Mas
tiers who could attend were pres
ent, and included A. M. Shan
nan, A. o. Tellifero, S. T. Scot
land, C. A. Hoffman, Richard
Taught, R. E. Miles, William Ber-
covich, and Devoe Swank.
OF the SO persons present ap-
proximately so were guests
from other Lodges. Besides the
Canadian Lodge represented,
guest members were present
from Shelby, Waller and Hardin
Lodges in Montana and one guest
from St. Paul, Mimi.
Glacier Lodge feels justly hon.
ored by the visit of Governor
Aronson in his capacity as repre-
sentative of the great nation OF
Sweden, long time friend OF the
United States. The Lodge IS
equally honored by the presenta-
ton of the Canadian flag as this
country is also a true friend OF
long standing.
The Canadian flag will oe-
cvpy . place along side the
American Flag in the Lodge
room and it is earnestly
hoped the future will bring
an ever closer binding OF the
friendship ties between the
two countries.
After the meeting luncheon
was served by Messers. Casslt'
johnson, Ewing, and Becker, as
sisted by various members.

BILL BUFFALOH|DE
BY ilIFF MCKAY

Maybe this should have been
written sooner. Maybe IL
should never be written. But
! feel that to write a cold. fac.
tual. obituary for a man like
Bill BUffalohide without saying
a word or two about the human
side Of the man is doing q grave
injustice to truly eolorfUI
character and to those who
were not fortunate enough to
have known him as some Of US
did.
Bill Buffalohide took . lot Of
things seriovsIy-thinss like his
duties as a member Of the Tri-
bal Council. his politics, and
his horse racing. But Bill was
never straight laced and he new
er lost his keen understanding
Of human nature nor his sense
Of hUmor. have known him
TO cross party lines TO support
a man he felt was better can
didate than the one offered by
his own party. He had the abiI-
ity to make his own decisions
and the courage to stay with
them.
remember when the Indian
Bureau wanted to establish a
determination committee to aid
members Of our Tribe in invest
ing the money many Of them re-
eeived from oil and gas bonuses
on their land. The Tribal Coun-
Gil was asked TO select a man
to represent il on this commit
tee. We offered Bill as our
representative. After we made
our selection, Bill came to a
couple Of US and said. ~ don't
know If I'm the man for this
lob or not. You know. ! haven't
been too successful in manas-
ina my own affairs and I'D be
a poor one TO tell someone else
how TO spend their money. We
told him that this was one Of
the main reasons we had ap-
pointed him-beeause he had
made mistakes in his own af-
fairs and would be in a posi-
tion to guide other people away
from some Of these pitfalls. u
was with this spirit that he took
the Job. ! believe that he tried
TO put himself in the position
Of every person whose case
was being discussed and by do
ing this he was liberal in his
decisions without being waste

Aged East Glacier
Resident Suffers
Death in Fire

His body partially cremated in
the tragedy, Patrick Curry, rs,
employed as fireman at the Great
Northern hotel at East Glacier
for the last 16 years, lost his life
in fire in his cabin home there
early Monday morning. His wife
had a narrow escape from a SIM
liar fate, though not without suf-
fering severe burns about the
arms and body.
The tragedy was investisa-
ted by County Coroner Beck
Immediately after it became
possible TO piece together the
fragments Of circumstances.
Curry had gotten up around 6
that morning, going from the bed
room directly to gas-heated
range in the kitchen. Circum-
stances are that the pilot-light
had gone out, causing an accum-
ulation of gas in the kitchen. A
lighted match, presumably, caus-
ed an explosion, thrusting Curry
with a terrific force towards the
outside door entrance and caus-
ing him to collapse in the mid
die of the floor.
Mrs. Curry. who was awake
at the time. despite her age
Of rs. was able TO make her
way to the door to escape
safely.
The gas feed being open,
constant flow of gas fed fierce
ly-consuming fire for nearly two
hours. The fire was fought dur
ing that time by citizens, Forest
and Park Service and Great
Northern Railway employees.
The victims body was recovered
only after the building had been
practically destroyed.
Also destroyed by the fire were
four units of the Warning Motel,
the structure occupied by MIR.
and Mrs. Curry being part of
the motel.
Fire loss to the owner was
heavy. For months previous to
the fire, Warning had devoted day
after day to building up his place.
Funeral services are to be
held at the Burns Funeral
Chapel this morning. after
which the body will be for
warded to Great Falls tor
burial.
Besides his widow, the deceas-
ed is survived by two sons, John
E. of Cut Bank, and Vincent OF
Casper, Wyo.; two daughters,
Eileen German of Oilmont and
Dorothy Carpenter of Orovllle,
Wash; one sister, Cecilia SUIT
ton of Bremerton, Wash, besides
relatives in Ireland.
