Urge Residents To Furnish Rooms During Festival

Finding accommodations for the anticipated visitors here during King Crab Festival came in for con- siderable discussion at the Cham Der of Commerce meeting held Thursday at the Town Club.
 Art Brooks, Tourist Committee chairman, stated the committee had met snag in finding housing for the visitors. Single persons will be provided for, with dormitory- type accommodations being set up in rooms at the downtown school house. But it is the married couples who may find difficulty in getting accommodations" he said. The Kodiak Hotel is filled up, with no more reservations being taken.
 The opening up of private homes is the only answer, it was brought out at the meeting. All residents of Kodiak with available rooms are asked to show visitors hospitality" and register their homes as avail able, and should phone Art Brooks, at 486-52O4, or at the Kodiak h. surance office.

Parade Plans
 For Festival We'll Underway

August was mentioned as the month in which to invite Hector Chevigny, noted author and lee turer, here for series of two pub lie lectures.
 The dates have not been con firmed as yet, according to Dr. Bob Johnson, president of the Chamber of Commerce, who stated the month of August seemed the more likely. He also stated that the play, "Cry of the Wild Ram" may be per formed here at a future date. The play deals with the early history of Kodiak in the days of Baronof.
 Tt looks like it's going to be good parade this year, according to Ray Martin, who reported on the preparations made for the forthcoming Festival. Most of the details have been worked out, he said, by the parade chairman, Gene Sundberg. On the sale of tickets, he said, it was hard to tell how they are going. There are lot of them out, but the contestants are hold ing back in reporting them," he said.
 The Queens crown, he said, has been made by Anna Mueller, and the Queens robe by Louise Tucker. King crab hats for ladies of visit ing dignitaries have been made by Mrs. Coons and a group of ladies.

Nearly 500 LoeuI
Men Called Into
Fire Fighting Service

Uncountable numbers among
the 424 Blackfeet firefighters who
have been battling forest fires
in Montana, Idaho and Wyoming
have been returning to Browning
to rest from their efforts to help
control fires that forest officials
estimated as having already done
about SIS million damages to for
est resources.
Buses have been shutting back
and forth from fires, bringing in
tired fighters and returning with
refreshed ones. The Sleeping
Child. blaze near Hamilton, re-
ported nearing control this week,
occupied most of the fighters.
About 81 million in damages
were incurred when about 10000
acres of timber were destroyed.
Two big fires, both in Idaho,
the remote Surprise Creek fire,
burning about 1900 acres and
the Salmon National Forests
Corn Creek fire, about 1900
acres, are the big remaining ones
to plague forestry officials.
The returning mems paychecks
have given the areas economy a
decided boost. Farmers and stock,
men have been shorthanded for
a month because of the better pay
in fighting fires.
One night last week some OF
the local taverns were doing a
rushing business. A man on the
street described the activities as
jumping" Been here a lon E
time. Never saw anything like
it," he said.
A teen-ager returned to Brown.
ing with a used car he purchased
with his $500 check. Two days
later he returned to fight fire
to earn money to pay for install
ing a new gear on the auto he
stored in a garage for repairs.
The vast majority, however, are
spending their money wisely, and
a great share is going for the
purchase of clothing and sup
plies for children's schooling.

Lake field in southeastern Al

The utility recently asked for
S3.7 million increase in rates it
maintained were necessary to inn
port Canadian gas to maintain
an adequate supply for present
and proposed expanded opera
tions. A favorable decision by
the Montana Public Service Com
mission on the request, which it
has under advisement, would
make possible proposal to build
another pipeline from a point
north of Browning westward
across the mountains to supply
gas service to at least a dozen
other towns and cities, including

las We have previously ad-
vised, the last extension of time
would have expired August IA"
the firm wrote Swingley on Aug
ust 9. 'In the light of our past
experience, we believe it would
be futile to oppose this extension.
Accordingly, we will not file an
opposition to this, but we will
do so if a further extension is
requested on or before Septem-
Der %, the new date on which
the governments proposed find
ings, objections and friefs will be
due" the letter concluded.
The firm presented the In
dians' case known as "Blackfeet
and Gros Ventre 279A Claim
Under Agreement of 1885," be-
fore the Indian Claims Commits
sion several months ago. The
Governments request for addi-
tional time is to answer it.
When the Commission hears
both sides, it will take the issue
under advisement and study for
decision. Should it be favorable
to the Indians, an additional re-
quirement will be an appropria-
ton by Congress TO settle the
claim.
Although known locally as the
Sweetgrass Hills claim, the land
involved in the claim is located
in northern Montana, north of
the Marias and Missouri rivers
to the Canadian boundary and
eastward from the east boundary
of the present Blackfeet reser-
walton to the Montana-North Da-
kota boundary, excluding the
land of the present Fort BeIknap
and Fort Peck Indian reservation,
an area of about Il, 969, l56 acres.
Lawyers for the tribes contend
the petitioners are entitled to re-
cover the difference between the
fair market value of the land,
SIS, 339, 377, less 1884, $50, a total
gross recovery of S14,403, $4,000.
From this amount, such offsets, if
any, as may subsequently be de-
termined pursuant to Section 2
of the Indian Claims Commission
Act would be deductible.
The government allegedly paid
an Internationally low consider
alton for the land it acquired and
likewise engaged in activities
which were less than fair and
honorable in obtaining the Agree
ment of May /, 1888.
