Ficke, ranger in charge, said yesterday. While the winter has been relatively warm and open there has also plenty of snow, he said, and the snow has come in such a manner that is has not obliterated forage conditions for the game.

In the upper ranges of the McClellan district, Mr. Ficke. said, the snow depth is approximately 30 inches. Abore Avon and Elliston and the Moose creek district the snow depth varies from 10 to 16 Inches. Store Moisture "This year," Mr.

Ficke added, "it has been estimated that the moisture content of the snow is at least 100 per cent greater than last year." This, he said, guarantees a greater stream flow for next season. Creeks are higher now than they were at this time last year, he said. The ranger said the open weather bad benfltted game in three ways: The snow has not been deep enough to cover all food. There has been little cold weather to cause suffering to game. Because of the character of the storms this year grassy parks on the southeast sides of mountains were bare most of the winter.

Green Grass During December, Mr. Ficke said, there was green grass growing in Colorado gulch, a great boon to the game. Heavy drifts of snow this year are on the north and east slopes. Consequently, Mr. Fiske said, they will melt more slowly than In previous years and will keep foreit conditions wetter later in the season than was the case last year "Observations made by employes in this district," he said, "all agree that elk and deer sre in excellent shape this year and have not suffered as they did last season." The largest band of elk reported in the Helena national forest was seen in December near the Pauly sheep ranch.

A total of 117 animals were counted In the herd and all were said to be fat and In good condition. SKI WILL TRY THY; SNOW HFECT Near-perfect snow conditions on MacDonald pass and the north slope of Mount Helena will give local slat artists a chance to get in some of the best fun of the year today, members of the Mount Helena Ski club said last night. Brooke Ricker, wo took a quick look at the MacDonald pass course yesterday afternoon, said the snow was the most perfect he had ever seen it. John Morrison reported about the same tof Mount Helena. More work for those juniors who want to represent Helena at a scholastic ski tournament in Anaconda next Sunday is slated for today, it was announced.

Yesterday about 12 boys turned up on the Mouot Helena course for instruction and said they were anxious to represent Helena at the tourney. The "professors" ot the Mount Helena club have decided they will give the group Intensive drill all week, then Thursday or Friday hold a tournament to pick the team which will represent this city. Today's workouts will be held on Mount Helena from 10 a. m. until noon and all youngsters interested are asked to be present.

After the seventh or eighth glass of the powerful spring tonic, the goats appeared to leer--a little later on, snarl.

Lyinan Sperry, who in former jears explained to all youngsters just how bock beer is made, had little to say except, "Dya want another!"

LIES TO BE -AT FUN'S BALL Bert Hart, general chairman of the committee in charge of the annual Firemen's ball to be given at the Shrine temple ballroom March 17, announced yesterday that in keeping with the St. Patrick's day theme each lady attending the danco will be given a tiny potted shamrock plant. The shamrocks, which will be approximately one Inch high, are being prepared especially for the firemen's ball by the Knox Flower shop, Mr Hart said. Fred Harvey of Butte and his 10-piece swing band, with an entertainer, will offer the music at the annual affair, which will Include a program of entertainment guaranteed to please Helena dance lovers.

At 11 o'clock, a 10-mlnute intermission program will be staged, with Jimmy Allen and "Showboat," popular colored novelty dance team, presenting tap dance numbers and fancy steps. zUnique decorations, which only Helena firemen are able to present, will adorn the Shrine ballroom. Mr Hart said the fire department plans to overshadow previous balls with the 19 3 decorations, now in the making. Montana's 1938 crop prospects are brightened, Jay G. Diamond, statistician for the bureau ot agricultural economics declared yester- dsy.

"Crop reporters and farm observers are much more hopeful of good crops in 1938 than was the case a year ago," he said. This optimism, he said, is based on the fact that subsoil moisture conditions and prospective supplies of irrigation Water are both better than In 1937. Subsoil moisture conditions are now more favorable that at this time for any year since 1934, Mr. Diamond added. Based on correlated estimates of subsoil moisture and final yields per bushel, Mr.

Diamond estimated the state's spring wheat crop in 1938 at 12.7 bushels per acre compared with a yield of 7.6 bushels per acre last year. More Water While there are certain watersheds in both eastern and western Montana having less than normal snow storage, in general the situation is much better than, last year, assuring more irrigation water for 1939 than was available last year, Mr. Diamond reported. Every portion of the state has received more moisture than last year, weather bureau records indicate, except a small area in northern Montana embracing Toole, Liberty, Hill and Blaine counties. That area, however, has been thoroughly soaked by snow and rain during the storm of the past two days, accord- Ing to the records.

Grasshoppers and Mormon crickets will be in the crop picture again In 1938, the agricultural statistician said, with rather heavy and general Infestations of the latter probable. But it's too early yet to get much of an outlook on the insect situation since weather conditions at hatching time will be an important factor in determining the ,1938 damage from these pests, Mr. Diamond said. UNSOTLtD IND MORE Unsettled weather today, with probable light snow and little change In temperature, is the weather dish which will be served up to Montana residents today, according to tbe weather bureau. There was no Indication on the weather map that unsettled conditions which have spotted snow and rain over the state during tbe past two days would be broken.

A light snow bere yesterday brought .04 of an inch of precipitation, bringing the excess for March to .31 ot an inch to date, and making driving conditions hazardous as the streets were glassy slippery- Helena bore the brunt of the snow and no other stations In Montana reported precipitation. While temperatures were under freezing In the state, no severe cold was reported. XAZI PEEVED Shanghai, March I--(Saturday) --(AP)--The German consul today lodged a protest with United States Consul General Clarence E. Gauss against the publication of an editorial criticising Adolf which appeared In the February it issue of the American-owned China weekly review, HELENA USED CAR SALE TO BE CONTINUED THIS AFTERNOON Despite snow flurries and a drop in the temperature the observance of National Used Car Exchange week got off to a good start here yesterday as a large erowd of Helena persons anxious to trade tn their old cars tor better and safer ones patronized the auction sale being conducted on Fuller avenue, according to Carl Anderson, general chairman of the local observance. The celebration is being held through next Saturday, the Helena cfhalrman said, announcing that the auction sale started yesterday will be continued Monday afternoon at 2:30 o'clock.

Ninety reconditioned cars were being shown on Fuller avenue between the Gabel Machine shop and Netll avenue and although all of them will not be up for auction the daily sales will be held until Helena dealers participating in the observance have disposed of the auction vehicles. The remainder ot the cars will be sold by the dealers individually. Auction sales are under the direction of Fred Mllner. Importance Bhown The importance of the success of the- automobile Industry's used car drive throughout the United States was emphasized in a statement Issued yesterday by Mr. Anderson.

"The practice of selling new cars to people of larger incomes," Mr. Anderson pointed out, "and then passing these cars on to second owners Is the thing that has made possible the great development of the auto Industry. "There are only about 9,000,000 people In this country with enough ucome to buy new cars. If these cars were held by the original owners until they wore out--which would take nearly nine years--the annual output would be only about 1,000,000 passenger cars a year. "If this production was divided between only four or five companies, each one would make so Few cars that the tool and die and other overhead expenses would be" so large per car, that cars would be more expensive.

"Only about one-third as much gasoline would be consumed in a year, and the oil industry would shrink to about one-third of its present size. Instead of 46,000 WILL LECTIE HERE Helena residents will have an opportunity to hear one ot the nation's foremost authorities on crime when MaJ. H. Drane Lester, administrative assistant to J. Edgar Hoover of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, speaks here March 9.

He is appearing here under the auspices of Pro-America, women's patriotic organization. At 11 o'clock next Wednesday morning Maj. Lester will talk he- fore the students ot Helena high school while at 8 o'clock Wednesday evening he will deliver a public lecture at the high school auditorium. Well Qualified Maj. Lester is a major in the military intelligence division of the officers reserve corps, U.

S. army, as well as an inspector for the F.B.I. At present he instructs and trains men in the bureau's training schools for new agents, veteran agents and police officers. Mr. Lester is a native Mlsslssip- pian, a graduate of the University of Mississippi and ot Oxford university which he attended as a Rhodes scholar.

He was professor of Latin at the University of Mississippi and professor of law at Memphis, Tenn where he engaged in the practice ot law tor tlve and one-half years prior to entering the F.B.I, in 1932 Chlet of Police Roger G. Smith, who has heard Maj. Lester lecture, says he is one ot the nation's outstanding speakers, delivering his talk with machine-gun like rapidity and often attaining a speed of 228 words per minute.

DEKHLIK5 HELEHH HIS Norman DcKay of the firm of Hugenin and DeKay, local architects, will address Helena high school students taking advanced drafting, machine drawing and architectural a i next Wednesday morning at the vocational education department of the school, Fred 0. Robinson, director, announced yesterday. Mr.

DeKay will discuss tbe relationship of drafting to the trades and Industries and the large field of modern architecture. Mr. Robinson said that the instruction given the students by such an outside expert is definitely In line with the policy of vocational guidance for high school students recently adopted la the local Institution. Students will have an opportunity to question Mr. DeKay relative to occupations In tbe respective fields he will discuss.

All students will be required to make a written report covering Mr. Kiy'i lecture, Mr. Boblawi said, dealers we would need only about 12,000 dealers, and there would be a corresponding reduction in the number of salesmen and mechanics. fViwu Highways "With fewer cars on the road, we would have a smaller mileage of improved highways. Only the well-to-do could live in the suburbs.

Factory workers would be compelled to live in congested areas near the factories. "Most farmers would use horses in going to town. Poor people would make week-end trips on street-cars or trains. Ownership of a car would be a badge of wealth and social position. "Cities would cover less space and would have more apartments and high buildings.

Cltitens of lower incomee would travel less. It the practice of handing down used cars to second, third and fourth owners were abolished, the automotive Industry would shrink to about one-third of its present size and our economic life would be profoundly changed. "That is why it is a mistake to refer to used cars as a 'problem' or on 'evel'--instead ot the foundation on which a great industry has been built. This campaign Is not intended to 'get them out of the but merely to relieve I abnormal condition or oversup- f- Vary Little "Financial writers and others have much to say about liquidation of used car stocks. But used car stocks are never liquidated.

It is very rarely that used car stocks vary as much as 15 per cent from the average for the year. "The buying and selling of used cars is a continuous business which goes on month after month. It is a business in which there are no new models. A dealer cannot attract customers unless he has an adequate stock of used cars to show the public. "There is never any reason for complete liquidation of used car stocks, unless the dealer intends to go out of business.

Used cars are the most stable part of the automobile business. Compared with new cars, the used car sales fluctuate less and the Inventories ot such models kept on band show less variation." MRS. T. K. BEAVER, PIONEER HELENA MATRON, HEARS CALL Another esteemed Helena pioneer was taken into the arms ot her Maker yesterday when Mrs.

T. K. Beaver passed away at St. John's hospital. During the 50 years Mrs.

Bearer resided at 696 West Main street she was known to most all of Helena's residents for her sharp Irish wit and rich brogue. While in her teens, Mrs. Beaver left her family home in County Galway, Ireland, to sail for America, where she made her home with, a sister, the late Mrs. T. H.

Willis, at Dickinson, N. D. Came to Helena While still a young woman she moved to Helena with her sister and members of the family in 188S. Three years later Nell McKelvey carried his young Irish bride across the threshhold ot the cozy cottage on West Main--the home that was to remain hers until death. Helena then was a young mining metropolis, and Mr.

McKelvey operated lime kilns south ot the city for several years, supplying lime tor building and mining purposes. Of the union, tour children were born--Nell McKelvey, pressman foreman for the Independent; Mrs. Al Wenstrum and Mrs. Arthur Sampson, also ot Helena, and Mrs. Wilbur Schlmpf ot Seattle.

Mr. McKelvey passed away in 1900, and In 1907 Mrs. McKelvey was married to Mr. Bearer. During her lite Mrs.

Bearer was a devote communicant ot the Roman Catholic faith, and was an active member of the Maccabees and the Ladies' Catholic Benevolent association. Known tor Generosity From Broadway to the southern tip of the city lives hardly a person who has not known the cheerful sympathy and generosity of the kindly matron. Mrs. Beaver was taken ill at her home early in January, and Thursday suddenly contracted pneumonis, necessitating her removal from the cottage to a hospital. Most of the members ot her immediate family and their children were at her bedside when she was taken.

In addition to the four children and Mr. Beaver, seven grandchildren survive. They are Arthur, and Eleanor Sampson; Virginia Dare and Neil Wenstrum; Josephine McKelvey and William and Patricia Schlmpf. Mr. and Mrs.

Schimpt and chll drea are expected to arrive from Seattle today. Funeral services will be held Tuesday morning at o'clock in Helena cathedral, with burial in Resurrection cemetery. Rosary will be recited Monday night at 7:30 o'clock at the Opp and Conrad chapel IN PAYMENTS Ml TO 24( RETIRED The state teachers' retirement board yesterday approved claims totaling $8,014 as March payments to 246 teachers on the retired and disabled list, State Treasurer Ray K.

The commission F.

E. E. Krebsbach and TBOSMS E. Carey--will adhere to the tamo policy in deciding future easss of Ike nature, Counsel John W. Bonner said.

The ruling was contained In a report attached to an order denying the municipality authority to increase water rates 20 per cent. Policy Directed The town also was ordered "to stablish without delay and follow the commission's uniform classification of accounts for water utilities, sad Inaugurate a definite policy as to proper distribution at barges between maintenance, operation, depreciation and capital accounts." Application to Increase water rates at Thompson Falls was filed with the commission last July. "It appears," the report said. one of the chief grounds tor application for increased rates is to require the consumers ot the water system to help to contribute to the cost of establishment and completion of the water system. In other words, it Is asserted by the town of Thompson Falls that It Is unfair to those owning the most property to have to near the greater burden In constructing the water system WHB Private System "As the matter now stands, the town of Thompson Falls is asking for Increase in water rates not only tor the water service rendered its consumers, but also to aid in the establishment and construction of its water system." The municipality purchased the water system from a private company after a 20 per cent water rate reduction had been ordered in 1935.

Total cost ot the plant, when completed will be about the commission's report said. 1 A tax levy of 13 mills has been used to finance the water system.
