MANY CHANGES IN GLACIER COURSE, OFFICIALS REVEAL Mendenhall Glacier is receding rapidly and changes are occurring almost. daily in the course of streams at the glacier snout, ac- cording to U. S. Forest Service of- ficials. The action of the glacier is effecting the plans of the For- est Service for the erection of a recreation center just above the power house, and for the present the project will not be pushed, Charles H. Flory, Regional Forester said. Mr. Flory explaided the rapid changes taking place this summer in the Glacier makes it advisable to await further developments be- | fore taking action on the proposed development. “We do not want to build a rec- reation center and find in a short time that the glacier has backed away, leaving the buildings too far away,” he stated. —— Try an Empire ad. at the P.
