Wave Illustrations

Allan Parker, Kalispell, Paci-
fic Power and Light Co. telephone
technician, this week was demon
strating micro waves to high school
students.
He was at Whitefish Monday,
Columbia Falls, Tuesday, and was
to go to Kalispell, Wednesday, and
Poison, Thursday.
Parker shows the students how
photograph can be played, and
sound micro waves transmitted
without wires. This is the principle
used in transcontinental TV broad
casting, and also in handling long
distance telephone calls in more
thickly populated areas. The TV
system has towers about every 80
miles with large bells that pick up
and then re-broadcast the signals
to the next tower.
Parker showed students how the
micro (sound) waves could BIZ
blocked by metal plate; how mi
Gro waves can be sent through a
tube and similar handling.

CoIorfuI J. FenhoIt
Leaves Col. Falls

A colorful resident of Columbia
Falls, John D. Fenholt, IS, passed
away Tuesday in Kalispell hos
pital.
In the growing up of a city
there are interesting residents. We
tend to think of them as men who
lived here long ago. Mr.. Fenholt
was an unusually interesting man
who was with us into 1855.
Funeral services will be at the
Johnson Funeral Home, Mon
day at p. m. with a Christian
Science reader. Burial will be in
Woodlawn cemetery, Columbia
Falls.
Mr.. Fenholt had been i'll with
cancer. In lieu of flowers, friends
may donate to the American Can
Ger society.
Columbia Falls knew Mr.. Fen
holt since 1889 when he moved
here as a large, husky man with
some of the look of Buffalo Bill.
In fact sometime we wondered If
he didn't look more like Buffalo
Bill than William Cody did him
self. Mr.. Fenholt was foot g.,
built in proportion with must,
ache, goatee, Stetson hat and a
| booming baritone voice. In addi-
| ton he often wore a big buffalo
| hide coat.
When he saw a Buffalo Bill
| tho thnotrn oClynd
| him "Why don't you just stand
outside and help advertise the
picture" Mr.. Fenholt enjoyed the
comparison, and chuckled.
He was a graduate of the Con-
servatory of Music in Chicago, al
so of an academy at Albert Lea
MINI. and a piano tuners school
His parents owned hotel and
restaurant in Albert Lea.
Many people in the Flathead re-
member hearing the elderly man
boom out "Indian Love Call" anc
his costume was complete with ar
Indian chiefs headdress. He looked
the part and never lacked for the
necessary dramatic air.
He sang for many valley bene-
fits, and also worked as piano
tuner.
Mr.. Fenholt was born Dec. %
1876, the son of William and JUL;
Fenholt. Following his musical ed.
ucation, he came to Winifred nea-
Lewistown in 1912 and homestead
ed. He was married to MYRTLE
Reiman of Spokane and Missou1;
in 1924. He was in Spokane on
