A. E. ••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••101 Everything in the home these days is controlled by a switch except the children. Some people are never satis- fied. Take Doc Rosdahl and other ice fishermen for instance. They're complaining that the \banana belt\ weather of the past two winters has interfered with their sport. \There just isn't ice like there use to be,\ they lament. And if you're wondering who ordered that cold spell a few days back we have it on good authority that the loggers order- ed it. Arden Davis said it was just what they wanted—down around 20 degrees and not too much snow. And as far as we are concerned if that's what they want, we want them to have it. What helps them_helps all of us. But, gettng back to ice fish- ing, Jake Weigand and Vern Gronewald are complaining they can catch plenty of big trout, which aren't legal this time of the year, but only a few white- fish, which are. For a newcomer to the area, we've never heard of anyone mastering angling quite as quickly as Gronewald. (He's the popular new science teacher at the high school.) it.nd the mild weather has played havoc with the ice fish- ing for Trout Creek anglers in their traditional hole above Cop- per point. In past winters, the bay in that area would be cov- ered wth anglers out on the ice on a Sunday afternoon. But, not this year. Which goes to prove what Abe Lincoln said many years ago— \You can please some of the people all of the time, all of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time.\ One man, who is pleased is Thompson Falls' newest boost- er—John Britt. He and his wife built that attractive residence across the river from town last year. A former Missoula furni- ture store owner and retired Monana Power Co. employe, John and his wife are really sold on our valley. He likes the Hot Springs baths too and makes two or three excursions to the spa monthly. Considers Hot Springs a distinct asset to this area. John agrees that Thompson Falls has the finest climate in Montana and to- prove it he's keeping a file of the daily tem- peratures to show his Missoula friends when they visit him. The two jokers across the street—Hersh and Norm—are wondering where John Cochran parks his car these nights? What a wonderful world this would be if we all did as well today as we expect to do tomorrow. The House that 'Jack' Built There's supposed to be a silver lining in every cloud, but it's hard to find one in the governor's mansion. fiasco. The mansion to date has cost Montana more than $201,000 and about $165,000 more will be required to complete this re- sidence for which, initially in 1953, the legislature appropriated $125,000. It's becoming known as the house that \jack\ built— your \jack.\ It is difficult to understand how men who comprise the board of examiners and who are responsible enough to hold the posi- tions of governor, attorney -general and secretary of state can per- mit such a fiasco. All must share equal responsibility since vot- ing by the board of examiners has been unanimous on all major —L_As Working Capital Works Wonders For COMMUNITY PROGRESS Bank deposits soundly invested strengthens the financial fabric of the Community—actually puts dol- lars to work to stimulate individual ' and industrial prosperity. Thus, bank dollars provide the work- ing capital to work wonders for our local Community progress. Ire invite your account. Establishad In 1906 decisions. The first mistake was in -employing the Billings architect who has faded to provide plans and specifications that remained within available funds. Another mistake has been Montana law which overloads our top elected officials with duties and responsibilities on boards in additional to their own office jobs and provides for divided authority. A houle — special investigating committee recommended last week that the mansion be leased to the Montana Highway patrol as a headquarters building. The patrol now pays $800 per month for rented quarters in Helena. There is a real question whether such a move would be legal. In the first place the mansion is located in a residential district and neighboring residents might choose to protest, and rightly so, the housing of the patrol office in that area. In the second place, the lots on which the structure is located were given to the state as a site for the governor's mansion. It's use for another purpose may not be legal. If the mansion can be legally leased to the highway patrol, that would appear to be the wisest and most financially -respon- sible move. Otherwise, there appears to be no other remedy than for Montanans to swallow more of the bitter medicine and appro- priate sufficient funds to complete it for its original purpose. As bitter a pill as that might be, there may be no other remedy. Perhaps the silver lining is that the state only builds a governor's mansion once every 50 to 70 years.

County Receives Bison Payment Acording to information re- ceived by C. J. Henry, refuge manager of the National Bison range Moiese, Sanders county re- ceived $989.28 from the federal government for fiscal year end- ing June 30, 1958. This money, which is credited to road and school funds, represents the county's share of the gross re- ceipts received at the National Bison range from the sale of surplus refuge products. Total refuge receipts for fis- cal year 1958 amounted to $7,- 452.19. Of this, 25 per cent is returned to Lake and Sanders counties in lieu of taxes and is apportioned on the basis of acre- age of each county within the refuge. The total return for the two counties was $1,863.05. Lake county, having a somewhat smaller acreage within the re- fuge, received $873.77. The income at the National Bison range is derived almost en- tirely from the sale of buffalo and their by-products which are disposed of annually. Teenage Club Meets at T. C.

MISSOULA BOMBERS Preliminary Gam. at 7 p.m. Letter to Editor Idahoan Seeks Vermillion Road Dear Editor: I do not suppose there will be much of the Park traffic at the old post office of Meneke on U.S. 2 some 50 miles east of Libby, but it would not cost your state much to connect it up with our US 10A via Vermillion river to the end of the fine highway the WWP Co. built around the reservoir and the new bridge there to the old road on the north side to your city. You would get most of that traffic and we could use some. Just why does your state waste funds on the Bull river road that does none of us any good? Why not fix the much shorter Vermillion cut-off first? P. 0. Brende Clarks Fork, Ida.
