Shame on the Flathead Glaringly absent from reports of contributions to the fund to sponsor the 1960 National Governors conference is any refer- ence to contributions by chambers of commerce in the Flathead— Kalispell, Whitefish, Columbia Falls. Certainly of all areas in the state that stand to benefit from the nation-wide publicity spotlight that the conference will turn on Montana, the Flathead will be foremost. Last week when the Sanders County Chamber of Commerce delegation delivered its $500 contribution to Gov. J. Hugo Aronson, the state's chief executive expressed real joy over this expression of interest in the conference from the grass roots. He remarked that Sanders county was the first chamber to voluntari- ly raise funds among its members for the conference. The Flathead should have lead the state and set an example for all the others. From news reports at least, it appears the Flathead is dragging its heels on this project. Shame on the Flathead. If equality of the sexes is ever achieved, it will take men some time to get used to their new rights. We've heard highly favorable comments this week on the thor- ough cleaning given Main street Sunday by city employees. They and the city council deserve a vote of thanks for a job well done—a job that not only im- proves the appearance of our town but makes living (without dust) a lot more pleasant. Tuffs , Smith dropped by this! 1 week to display a picture of a i five -pound cutthroat he and his brother, Don, took out of Cabin lake a couple of weeks ago. A day later, after the fish had been cleaned and brought home, the trout weighed more than four, pounds, so Tuffy figures con- 1 servatively it must have tippedi five pounds easily when it was pulled from the lake. Dick Davis caught a whitefish in Thompson river the other! day that is supposed to be thel largest ever seen in this area.! Reports we heard said Dick! couldn't even stretch his fingers' around the belly of the fish. Watch out for temptation— the more you see of it, the bet- ter it locks.

M KNOW ONTANA FORT BENTON BRIDGE —From The River Press, Fort Benton • • The old Missouri River Bridge at Fort Benton, an 830 foot five apan steel structure was built in 1888—financed by private capital as a toll structure. A draw span was required by army engineers; though Fort Benton was head of navigation on the Missouri River, some steam boats had gone a short distance up the Missouri from the site. After a few years, the bridge was sold to Choteau County for $9,999.00 by the toll company. Flood waters in 1908 knocked out the 225 draw span, and special permission to construct a permanent span was admission by the engineers that Fort Benton had become final head of navigation on the river. The bridge was briefly closed in the 1920's for repairs to the structure. Cost of the original bridge was estimated at $50,000.00. Traffic began with a horse and buggy, then a ten mule freight outfit in December, 1888, and now averages about 800 trucks and cars per day.

Information Agency Quality Important In Grain Exhibits Quality and condition are the two main factors to consider in preparing grain, hay and horti- cultural exhibits for the fair, states Henry Mikkelson, county agent. Vegetables to be of the best quality must be harvested at the right stage of maturity for immediate table use. There should be no defects caused by disease, insects or mechanical in- jury. Size of specimens is very important. They should not be overly large. A size preferred by the market is ideal. All speci- mens should be uniform in size and color. Prize samples of grains and legumes are those that approach the nearest to the ideal, they should be true to variety, free of chaff and mixtures. Seeds should be large and of good weight. In preparing a sheaf, 30 to 40 stems are needed to give a diameter of three to five inches. A sheaf should be tied in three places. A one foot slice of baled hay is ample for the forage exhibit. A five -gallon cardboard ice cream container is good for silage ex- hibits. Wool Incentive Payments Made Payments totaling $6,917.72 have been made to Sanders county wool and lamb growers under the 1958 incentive pro- gram, Chairman John G. Harker of the Agricultural Stabilization and Conservation county com- mittee has announced. The incentive payment rates, Harker said, are $70.30 for every $100 producers received from the sale of shorn wool and $1.02 for each hundred -weight of live unshorn lambs sold between April 1, 1958 and March 31, 1959. Wool payments amounted to $5,883.78, while lamb pay- ments were $1,033.94. The incentive payment pro- gram, according to Harker, is to encourage the production of 300,000,000 pounds of wool in the U.S. annually. Funds for the payments are appropriated and may not exceed 70 per cent of the tariff receipts on wool and wool products. MIMEOGRAPH PAPER, letter- head size, 20 lb.
