Flathead country, says the Standard.
Mr.. He,4nessy went up into the Flat
head by way of Selfish and the lake.
He ira ,sled over large part of the
county, considering that he was gone
only about a week. He took a 25-
mile trip through the rough country
up Libby creek from Libby, sailed
down Lake Mcdonald and enjoyed
himself greatly.
"The Ieople of Montana" said Mr..
Hennessy, do not realize how great
the state is, what it's resources are,
or what there is in it. AS long as
have becn in Montana, l never dream
ed of Flathead county being such a
wonderful place. It is like state all
by ITSELF"
