Foust failed, however, to notice the church's other entrance on Sixth Street the one that was 595.8 feet from the lanes. "And that's where the problem came in," he said. The Sixth Street entrance is the church's main entrance though the address there is 601 W. Main.

After consultations and interviews with state Department of Revenue investigators, Foust was advised by his lawyer, Gerald Shultz, to move his door just a tad bit 1 to the east. "And then the building owner came into the picture." Mac Hughes, who owns the building, was at first reluctant to make any major changes, Foust said, but finally agreed with the stipulation that the door will have to be moved back to its original place if Foust someday decides to get out of the bowling business. Foust hired Olin Construction Company of Hamilton to make the necessary changes and by Dec. 3, after about $2,000 and three days of labor, a new, unoffensive door was put in six feet to the east, making the total distance an a- greeable 6024 feet from the Assembly of God Church. Foust estimates he's spent $2,000 for construction, $700 for legal advice, $500 to Hughes and $100 for surveying, putting him $3,300 in the red for the privilege of being a Bitterroot businessman.

"Eighteen eighty -nine, the year of Montana's statehood, was also the year Marcus Daly bought the mansion property near Hamilton.

We canplug into statewide publicity on that," mansion director Joyce Brader said. Days is also officially sanctioned so we'll be doing some special things during the centennial year." Apparently the wheels are turning here, as well as in other communities in Montana. According to Beatty, tourists can be drawn to Montana and the other states in the five state region celebrating centennials in 1989. "But the tourists will go where the most interesting things are happening. We should start planning now because tourist season starts in the spring," he said.

"A lot of the people that come this year may come back, depending on what's planned and publicized for next year. Every dollar that's spent here is very beneficial in this valley, and we need all of them we can draw in here."

But Foust isn't bitter about his hassles with Montana law and the Department of Revenue. He calls his temporary license, issued Dec. 9, a "nice Christmas present." But after six months of figuring out how to best deal with those pesky 4.2 feet, he said he's beginning to feel the same way as an acquaintance and fellow bar owner who was once confronted with a similar situation.
