Estimates for a new water supply for the state tuberculosis sanitarium at Galen range from 43 000 to 65 000 and were submitted by C W Swearingen Great Falls engineer. Six proposals depend on construction type pipe line routing reservoir locations and other factors. Swearingen proposes Race Track creek as the water source to relieve the present insufficient supply from two springs or sloughs. The northern terminal of the Oregon Short Line has moved from Dillon to Melrose. After the steel bridge over the Big Hole River at Lavon was rebuilt the Short Line trains reach Melrose and bus service is required only to Divide. Eighteen miles of track washed out in the June 14 flood are to be repaired, but rail service between Butte and Dillon may not resume for about three weeks. Mail service to Dillon resumes by train with the mail truck running between Melrose and Divide. Ranchers are repairing flood damage. temporary bridges exist, but the Wise canyon route may not reopen before next fall or next year.
