STATE LANDS
Appraising State Lands as to
Agricultural and Mineral
Values. Likes Libby District
and Wants a Home Here.

State Land Appraiser Dickman,
who has been in this section for
two weeks, returned from Troy
Sunday and has resumed field
work in this vicinity. Mr.. Dick
man is appraising the agricultural
and mineral value of the states
land. That being chiefly valuable
for timber is wanted as such and a
timber cruiser will follow to deter
mine its value. At Troy he found
several sections of good agricul-
tural land and he is now going
over the ground south and east of
Libby and will work over the
range to Thompson in Sanders
county. He says the object of his
work is to bring the land into
market for settlement. Mr.. Dick
man has been in the northwest for
30 years and nowhere has he seen
such luxuriant growth of all
vegetation as in the Libby district
and 1t is his intention and desire
to secure a home, and that this
will comes to pass i'll the very near
future, as nowhere from the coast
to eastern Montana has he seen a
more likeable place in which to
live from both climatic and
home building standpoint.

has about completed his work and
has found a totat of 1910 names
living within the city boundaries.
The federal census III June of last
year was o36 and the increase will
compare favorably with the growth

GRAFTON the city will advance to the

Natural conditions are such that
Libby will be one of the most

MORE DOPE ON
COUNTY SEAT
Petition Filed for Special Elec-
ton, Goes Over to Regular
September Meeting.--- Tax
payers Have Tired Feeling.

A petition for special election to
locate the permanent county seat
of Lincoln county, in accordance
with the provisions of chapter 1856
Of the last session laws, was filed
with the county clerk Monday and
by him presented to the board of
county commissioners.
On consideration, any action ON
the petition was put over to the
regular September meeting.
This county seat deal is getting
stale-a stencil in the nostrils of the
taxpayers of the county, and the
clog III the wheels of progress for
our county. 1t has been injected
into the routine administration of
county oHairs from time to time in
a way that has left the burden of
the trouble on the taxpayers and
the profit, If any, in the pockets of
few non resident trouble breed
ers.
Now we are to have more of
such unnecessary contentious, and
the people are asked to pay the
! freight. We trust that the COM
mon sense of the taxpayers will
make itself so felt before the board
of county commissioners as to
render impossible for the board to
make SO egregious a mistake as
shouldering the expense of a
special county seat election.
The taxpayers know how to
protest effectively to the board, as
has recently been shown. Now is
certainly the time to protest again
and in real earnest
