. FIFTY MOUNTAIN TENT CAMY, GLACIER PARK, Mont, Sept. 2, 1939. —When you are in the northern end of Glacier Park it is just like being in Alaska. The weather is chilly. You are isolated. People are few. Everybody khows everybody else. The occasional traveler is the only lihe of communication between camps. At one camp you discuss the people at other camps, and people on the trail ahead ‘of you. You know that Willie Bennett lost the bacon from his supply train; you know who found it; you'll know the Franger party from San Francisco when you. meet them; you know the dudes have had to help chop wood at one camp; you know Indian Joe is coming up the trail. today,

{leading a Horse. - Fifty Mountain Tent Camp is the most isolated of all the camps in Glacier Park. When the supply pack train winds down over the pass on Sunday evenings on its weekly: trip, the horses have already come 35 miles.

Career Women in Charge

The “staff” a Fifty consists of three women and a young man. e lone male is a young: Mow ans Medical student, Ray Howard, and he splits| enough balsam firewe in ohe summer to melt the North Pole + $ The three: fs are from Minneapolis. Mrs, Effie

Powell is the manager. She is a schoolteacher. She has two grown sons—one a lawyer in southern Minnesota, the other, Richard, assistant managey of the Indianapolis Symphony orchestra. The cook is Viola Marti, a friend of the world, gay and okey and full of little philosophies of the ‘everything-will-turn-out-all-right school. Stie is an executive in the Minneapolis schools. Bernice Peterson is the laundress.

| Our Town | | THE OTHER, DAY thé papers ran a picture of Elsie Bierbower. 1 recognized her right away notwithstanding the fact that she was dressed up like a war nurse, with coif, cape and everything. They can't fool me. The papers can stick Elsie into any kind of clothes and I'll know her provided, of course, they don’t hide her face with one of the slanting hats women are wearing now. The Bierbower family used to live on Bellefontaine St. at about the Johnstown flood, I guess. There were four in the family. The father's name was John E., but his pals called him “Jack.” The Bellefontaine St. Kaffeeklatsch called Mother Bierbower “Jane.” I don’t recall the son's name, let alone his nickname. It doesn’t matter. + Today's piece isn’t about the Bierbower boy. It's about Elsie, the baby of the family, Everybody in the neighborhood was crazy ahout Elsie. She had everything a girl has a right to have. For one thing, she was pretty as a picture #nd had a lot of pep and personality—at a time, when little girls were supposed to be seen and not heard.

turned out it was pretty plain that “the Indianapolis school system never was designed for a girl like Elsie.

Washingto COLUMBUS, O., June 7.—My hunch is that the Administration would do well to bring forward clearly and emphatically a picture of the dangers in the Western Hemisphere as it sees them. Certainly if the French have any difficulty within the next few.days in holding Hitler on the Somme, it will be imperative that the Administration take the country more into its confidence, Washington officials are deeply concerned over the dangers in the Western Hemisphere, yet I find this part. of the country almost entirely unaware of them. There is opposition to President Roosevelt's request for authority to call out the -National Guard. That opposition is based on the fear that he - wants to send American boys to Europe. The - possible necessity of using troops for purposes of protective occupation in the Western Hemisphere, to assist, governments to avoid being. undermined by proHitler groups, has not occurred to the average citizen in this area. One person after another has told me that this possibility had never heen discussed within his heating. Tt is a most immediate question ang the public has not been adequately informed. #

Agree on Heavier Taxes

| One cannot make a really extensive canvass of an area in two days, yet in that time I have talked with a number of representative businessmen, labor leaders and members of both political parties—all men who circulate widely in their communities and of necessity must know what their own followers are thinking. Thus far I have found full indorsement among all groups of heavier taxes for defense, Second, they are ready to go any length with President Roosevelt in defense. All they ask is that the

They have a good many hand-woven things, such as baby blankets, ties and the like. i A number of individuals are sending in articles like baby garments, summer hats,” honnets and aprons. One potter, who has his own kiln, had some rather nice pieces of pottery on exhibition. A brown jug with some brown mugs looked as if it would fit into some cottage very well.

AWAIT TEXT ON RULING BINDING CITY TO LEASE

{Gas Utility Ma May ‘Appeal Decision at Chicago to High Court.

Utility District attorneys today awaited the full text of the Chicago

Circuit Court of Appeals ruling yesterday that the City is bound by a lease executed in 1913 between the old Citizens Gas Co. and the Indianapolis Gas Co. Attorneys for the City Gas Utility and City officials declined comment immediately on the effect of the Circuit Court's decision on condemnation proceedings by which the City plans to acquire the properties of the Indianapolis Gas Co. The high’ court’s decision reversed the ruling of Federal District Judge Robert C. Baltzell last September that the lease was invalid. In some measure, the condemnation proceedings were based-on Judge Baltzell’'s ruling which left to the City the necessity for making new arrangements for the use of the Indianapolis Gas properties.

Appeal Is Possible

Patrick J. Smith of the| firm of Thompson -& Smith, Utility) District attorneys, said he did not know what course of action the TUtlity could take until he studies the decision. It will take at least three days to transmit the full. tt from Chicago, he said.’

City, however. It may appeal to the United States Supreme Court or may accept the’ Circuit Court ruling and proceed with condemnation action. Condemnation proceedings, approved last winter by the City Council, have been held up pending the Circuit Court’s ruling. The validity of the lease may | have a material effect on the valuation of the Indianapolis. Ga% Properties, Mr. Smith said. “If the lease ultimately is held to be valid,” he said, “it |becomes property to which some val e would be attached.”

Provides Tax Payments

As executed between Citizens Gas and the Indianapolis Gas Co., the lease provided for the annual payment of about $500,000 by Citizens’ for the use of the Indianapolis Gas Co. properties, Running until 2013, the lease provides that Citizens pay $120,000 annually as a 6 per cent dividend on $2,000,000 of outstanding common stock of the Indianapolis Gas Co.; 5 per cent on outstanding bonds totaling $6,881,000, and all taxes on Indianapolis Gas properties which totaled $116,970 last year. Payment of these taxes would be avoided if the City ‘owned the property, i When the Cily acquired the Citizens’ Gas Co. it refused to be bound by the terms of the lease. Judge Baltzell upheld this contention, ruling that Citizens’ Gas had no legal authority to enter into an agreement which would bind its successor, the City. Since 1936, when suit was filed by the Chase National Bank of New York City, representing some of the! bondholders, to enforce the lease terms, the City has heen paying the lease rental into escrow. The escrow 4 ad now totals more than $1,621,Court Favors Judgment

In its opinion, the Circuit Court of Appeals held the lease was valid and enforceable against parities in the following order of liability: The City as successor trustee and trust properties and the Citizens Gas Co. The Court held also . that ‘ the Chase Bank is entitled to receive “a coercive judgment for unpaid and overdue interest on coupons, judgments to include interest at 5 per cent both on coupons from maturity to judgment and on judgment from entry to satisfaction.” This judgment, the Court held, is enforceable against the parties in the following order; the City and trustee properties; the Citizens Gas Co. and the Indianapolis Gas Co. Judge Baltzell had held that the Chase Bank was not entitled to interest on past due coupons.
