Page 44 THE SCOTTY, GLASGOW, MONTANA ON THE TRAIL OF THE COYOTE Following the evolution of transporattion, the haunts of the wily coyote have been sought successively on foot, horseback and in auotmobile, but never so success- county ranchers, will continue their efforts to keep Glasgow and vicinity armed from the air against the coyote.

During the past season, Gene Etchart, for- D , D B mer Glasgow High School student, and Harold Price, 4' commercial pilot, have killed about 140 coyotes, l I0 of which were killed in Valley county.

Most of the hunting is done from the cockpit of a Piper-Cub plane, powered by a 50 horsepower Lenape . motor. The method is to fly about 50 feet above the 1: 519 Sixth st- S0-, Glasgow: Mont- -' Phfme 410'-I ground until the hunters see a coyote. Then they dive iiggggggggg:::::::::::::::::::---:::::::::::, to about five feet above the animal, and while the pilot handles the machine, the other opens the door, leans f:AAA::::::::: -AA- ::::: :::::: :::::' over and shoots. An automatic shotgun is used, and if the mark is missed on the frist shot, proper wind condi- tions will sometimes permit a second or even a third ll ' shot at one animal. The plane is slowed down as much as it is possible to do and still maintain perfect control. When the prey has been killed the pilots search for the :I nearest possible landing place and return to skin their game.

The early thaw brought a great abundance of water down the valley, climaxing in one of northern Montana's most severe floods. Harlem, Chi- nook, Malta, Saco and Nashua were under water at in- tervals during an entire week. The dike in Glasgow proved to be the life saver of the town. The high wind and heavy current lashed a few weak spots and water broke through. This created plenty of excitement for a period of three days. Mayor Mark D. Hoyt received aid from the United States Army Engineers at Fort Peck. Major Clark Kittrell, District Engineer, and Major C. N. lry, Chief of Operations, supervised the building of a hoop dike of sand bags similar to those used on the levees along the Mississippi River. Sand bags were piled to surpass the height of the flood waters around the leaks on the inside. This enabled the water to seep through and therefore have equal pressure on both sides. The surplus water then followed the dike around the outside. N. C. Briggs, chairman of the Board of County Com- missioners, and Milford Kalstad, County WPA director, furnished much of the needed equipment and men. Max Yoder, County Surveyor, remained on duty continuously and directed the use of county equipment. While the men labored and the waters dashed against the dike, Glasgow took to the air. Flashes from time to time over the radio and the newspapers gave much space to this event. The following is quoted from the South Bend Tribune, South Bend, Indiana: Fight to Save Montana Dlike United Press Glasgow, Mont., March 27.-All available men in Glasgow and workers from the nearby Fort Peck dam project were pressed into service today in a desperate attempt to bolster a dike against the onslaught of the Milk River flood waters. ' Lashed by a bitter gale from the north, weary work- ers rushed cinders and sand bags to weak spots as they developed under the pressure of water 20 feet above normal. Glasgow homes threatened if the dike should give way were ordered abandoned. Farmers in adjacent areas not already flooded were warned to get out to the high- est ground. Army engineers directing the fight said they hoped the dike would hold, although water was still rising. Workers broke into cheers at a report the river upstream was dropping. Many homes along the valley were completely de- stroyed by this unexpected flood, Local and National Red Cross organizaations are doing much to help these victims. The CCC boys have offered their services to the farmers to get their land ready for spring planting It is hoped that in the long run the people will benefit from this flood by having a good crop instead of being at a loss. CITY BOWLING Bowling is another sport that has shown marked im- provement in Glasgow this year. There were eight teams in the bowling league, namely Glasgow Laundry, Ma- gruder Motor, Holland Chapel, Westland Oil, Markle fContinued on Page 48.3
