Local Couple Write
Telling OF Quake

Following are excerpts from
letter written by Mrs. Charlie
Violet) Mathison to her sistet
Mrs. A. H. Johnson, two day.
following the earthquake, which
hit their camp on Hebgen Lake
and which will be of interest tc
their many friends here.
Mrs. Mathison says in part.
"We're all shook uplil The earth
quake hit here Monday night al
HAS. 1t was really a narrowing
experience-one in a lifetime is suf-
ficient.
Charlie was thrown out of bed
and it seemed like the trailer was
going 100 miles an hour over
rocks and bumps. We both crawled
on our hands and knees to the
door, which seemed to take hours.
We didn't know what was happen
ing. Charlie thought someone had
pushed the trailer and. it was
headed for the lake, and l thought
the refrigerator had exploded. 1t
was a deafening noise.
What a mess. On the rug was
molasses, 2 dozen eggs, flour, cof-
fee, all of our dishes, pots and
pans and 212 gallons of water.
I'VE feel very lucky not to have
been on the other side of the lake,
where there r many dead and
injured. The planes and helocop-
tiers have been going back and
forth steadily the past 2 days.
1--WE slept in the a the rest
of the night and also last night.
We still have tremors. We had 2
quite long ones since I started this
letter. We are anxious to get out.
The patrolman said the road
should be ready this evening SO
we will leave in the morning but
we haven't decided where to go.
There are 3 big fissures on the
mountains right across from us.
The earth tipped and emptied the
lake here for 20 #. out during the
quake but in a few hours the
water was all back, very foamy.
sent word out last night we
were safe and hope you got the
message"
In another letter written Fri
day Mrs. Mathison said they had
arrived in West Yellowstone,
to get their trailer in a few
days and get cleaned up. Said
they were taking inventory of
their cuts and bruises, of which
they had many, and that in addi-
ton she had "a beautiful black
eye"
She added that the weather was
beautiful in the park and they had
'elt no tremors that day $50 it
must be over" West Yellowstone
the said, was a sorry sight and
people still seemed to be walking
a daze, everyone so sober.
In closing she said that there
must have been so people in their
amp and that it was wonderful
hat no n panicked as there
SO many children among
hem.

ture for what they have to SELL
Toole said. "Such freight rates
also increase the cost of incoming
supplies and machinery. These
must be bought to maintain farm
and ranch operations"
Toole suggested that $1,000 900
would buy Montanans the services
of the best tariff experts in the
Country, who could take the tariff
problems to the I.C.C., and thence
to the United States Supreme
Court, if necessary.
"The effort" Toole said, must
be made to bring relief to Mon
tana's farmers and ranchers from
this extra burden they now are
carrying"
"Such an investment for tariff
experts would be small consider
ing u great distances from
markets and source of manufact-
ured goods. This is a sufficient
handicap without the added bur-
den of unequal and discrimina-
tory freight tariffs, which now
prevail in Montana.
Such rates have handicapped
farmers and ranchers in other
states until relief was sought and
obtained in a manner similar to
the n suggested"
Toole said Montana is among
the few states that have not made
a concerted and aggressive effort
to remedy a situation which is
to Jul people.
