ers, the one belonging at home,
the Libby Lumber company, is
putting all of it's land upon the
market as fast as cut, and at very
reasonable price, and intend tax
ing off the Pipe creek timber in the
very near future. The other com
panies, nonresident owners, have
not yet agreed to part with their
land, but the Libby Commercial
club is negotiating with them and
hopes soon to have satisfactory as
surances that the land will become
marketable within a short time.
The land is becoming so valu-
able that these foreign companies
cannot afford to pay their just
taxes upon it and continue much
longer to leave it lie idle. Hon.
Jas. Wilson, secretary of the inter
ior, during a visit here last year,
said the raw land alone in this
valley was worth $1oo per acre
for fruit and truck farming.
We have cited the Pipe creek
area simply as one illustration of

Libby upon which to base her
hopes for city growth. 1t is but a

can be grown without irrigation
The highest bench, a gently
sloping area of 1900 acres, is SOC
feet above the river. The soil is a
sandy loan with fine gravel and
clay subsoil. All crops may be
grown and it is especially suitable
for fruit. Irrigation would be ben.
ehcial, though not necessary save
in exceptional years.
The balance of the area COM
prlses about 5000 acres of bottom
land along the valleys of Bobtail
and Pipe creeks. The soil is made
up of creek deposits and is black
sandy loam, suitable for all kinds
of crops.
The level character of the land
and condition of the soil make
road building easy. In fact, the
principal expense would consist of
cutting out the roadway, and the
farthest point of the tract would be
but commute drive from Libby.
Should irrigation be desired, this
also may be secured for the entire
area under the most favorable cir
cumstances and at small cost. At
the north edge of the land the
waters of Pipe and Bobtail creeks
are on a level with the high bench
land noted above. By the con-
struction of a short fume water

may be diverted from Pipe creek
and carried to the large area lying
east of Pipe creek at cost of less
than $40 per acre. The land ly-
ing west from Pipe creek may be
irrigated from either Pipe or Bob
tail tor a much less cost per acre.
1t has been demonstrated that 10
acres of land in this valley will
produce crops which will net a
profit of over $1oo per acre. Under
intensive modern methods of farm
ing the la1d may be made to pro-
duce more than the above figure.
1t is known fact that fruit lands
in the state of Washington, where
the conditions are less favorable,
are netting profits double the above
figure
But assuming a profit of Sloo
per acre, to be we'll within the
limit of conservatism, it means
that this 1900 acres would pro-
duce annually, if cultivated prop
erly, over one million dollars. 1t
would mean that 600 families, each
occupying 20 acres, could conduct
a profitable business, surround
themselves with the comforts of
suburban life and the farthest resi-
dents distant but commute drive

The timber alone in this area
from careful cruising, reaches q
total of $50 million feet boarc
measure of mature yellow pine
larch and fir. At the presen,
stumpage price the timber repre-
sents value of more than one
half million dollars.
When manufactured it will rep
resent value of more than two
million dollars.
AS the lumbermen' profit in
good times is estimated at less
than 20 per cent, the remainder,
or more than one and a-half mil
lion dollars, goes directly to our
own people.

DUPONT
Republican leaders say they have
not discovered even one member who
will desert DUPONT. But one Repub-
lcan egislator-Senator Ewing, OF
New Castle, was the guest OF Ad-
dicks In Philadelphia Thursday last
although Addicks tried to get several
others to attend.
Addicks visited the State House
shortly before 1 o'clock and dropped
into the Senate chamber.
Are you a candidate for SenatorT
he was asked.
II certainly am" he replied.
DO you expect TO be elected?" he
was asked further.
Certainly" he replied.
This timer?
"Well / can't say"
"Do you expect to get some votes
tomorrow"
"Oh, yes"
How manyY
you count them, say about twenty
fve."
He said he would get enough votes
to defeat DUPONT tomorrow and a
deadlock would be created, leaving
two Senators to be elected two years
hence.
"Addicks said he would not ask his
friends 10 call new caucus.
Are you, Alice, Layton and DR..
Burton in a combine to try to defeat
duPont2"
Il am not" said Addicks. II can
not understand why they might want
to hitch on to a star"
Addicks wore a fur overcoat and
silk hat as I'm his veteran deadlocker
days.
When introduced to Senator Drex-
Ter. he greeted Drexler, saying; Il
thought because of your deadlock you
might be forty-seoond cousin OF
mine"
Il may be kicker, but I plead not
guilty" replied Drexler
