KALISPELL A 35-mile-anhour speed limit and a recommendation of no night travel were clamped on U.S. Highway 2 between West Glacier and the Marias Pass summit Thursday. Montana Highway Department Kalispell Division Engineer Pete Spurzem said the reason for the temporary 1 restriction and recommenation is the spring runoff on Bear Creek, with the creek starting to run full.

He said most of the difficulty is in flood-scoured areas of 1964. Temporary culverts were stalled last year to reopen the highway. Currently these culverts are running full and waters are starting to wash along side the culverts. This creates a situation of weakening temporary road surfacing and making it entirely possible that a vehicle could break through the surface and become trapped overnight between culverts. "There is no flood danger of any kind," Spurzem said.

"The creek is running fast and we have crews in the area now tryin-ling to protect the culverts with ALL COLUMBIA FALLS MUSICALE TONIGHT, TOMORROW The sixth annual Musicale is scheduled for presenta- some of the models; Glen Aldrich, master of ceretion at 8 p.m. both Friday and Saturday in Columbia monies, and Mike Darling and Mike Krall, straw hat Falls High School.
