RECORD FOR KILLED STOCK

1t may not be generally known
by owners of live stock in this sec
ton that at every county seat on a
railway line stock book is kept
at the station for the benefit of
those who suffer the loss of stock
by being killed by the cars. This
is nnder a state law, SO that the
loser may place description of his
loss on record, whereupon he is
entitled to the cost of attorneys
fee free in the event that he should
be required to adjudicate his claim
in court, which is quite an item in
case appeal is taken from the lower
to the higher courts. Where there
is no county seat on the line, the
railway company may designate
the place of record, which in this
county was formerly at Troy.

TWO CHARGED BY

criminal prosecutions are to follow.
On complaint of Dugald McMil.
Ian, Thos. Conners was arrested on
a charge Of larceny from the per-
son. Mcmillan. who has been
working in the timber, drew down
his paycheck with the intention of
paying a visit to relatives in the
east, and while waiting for the

ners stole from his pocket $oo in
bills and several dollars in silver.
He was assisted in the hold-up by

TROY PEOPLE COME HERE

An important business transfer
was consummated here last Monday
in the disposal OF the Lincoln Mer-
camille company's grocery depart,
meut to Fred Callow of Troy, one
of the solid citizens of that place.
The stock has been removed to the
rear rooms and will be in charge OF
Nc. P. Bailey, also of Troy, who
will make his home here. w. N.
Curtis, who has grown up with the
business, will continue with the
concern, which will be known as
the Libby Grocery company. The
Troy additions will be welcomed to
the business life of the city, and
the buying public can be assured
of good goods and good service.
This change gives the Lincoln
people more room for their clothing
and boot and shoe departments,
and they will carry a greatly in
creased stock and add other lines
in the near future.

than twenty million acres, or prac-
tically 20 per cent of the state, is
included within forest reserves set
aside by the national government.
And while he declared himself in
hearty sympathy with the govern
ment's conservation policy, he made
it very plain that, in justice to
Montana, the many thousands of
acres of valuable agricultural land
unwisely and unfairly included in
the forest reserves should be re-
classified and opened for settlement.
1T is gratifying in at least
small degree to find that agents of
the government are following up
the suggestions of Governor Norris.
While the work is progressing slow
ly, as is usually the case with gov
ernment affairs, Secretary Wilson
has shown disposition. to do the
right thing by Montana. Secretary
Wilson made several trips to Mon
tana and personally went over much
of the land in question. The in
justice to this state from the whole
sale inclusion of valuable lands
within the forest reserves was so
apparent that the secretary prompt
ly agreed with the state authori-
ties in their demands for a rec1assi-
fication.
"The acreage in forest reserves
in Montana is greater than the area
of Massachusetts, Connecticut, New
Jersey and Maryland, and Montana
is paying heavily for the nations
conservation policy. There Is neither
right nor justice in the wholesale
inclusion of valuable agricultural
lands in alleged forests.

Paper from Jack
Pine and Henllock

The problem whether CONNER
cial grade of paper can be made
from native woods, other than
spruce, for the solution of which
the United States government has
established laboratory at Wausau,
Wis, has been partly solved, ac-
cording to an announcement made
by J. H. Thickens, who has charge
of the laboratory. The answer is
in the affirmative.
Experiments have been going on
for more than a year. Tests of
pulp manufactured at the labora-
tory have just been concluded and
are reported highly satisfactory.
The previous tests were not as sat
isfactory as the last one, which has
proven conc]usivelv, as Mr.. Thick
ems announces, that it is possible to
make ground wood from hemlock
and jack pine, and from mixtures
of these woods with spruce, which
will be of quality high enough for
the manufacture of cheap grade
of paper, such as news and wrap
ping papers.
He thinks it will not be long be-
fore the hemlock and the jack pine
will be used generally, for spruce
is scarce and growing more ex-
pensive.

The following article upon a pol
icy which has included so much
valuable agricultural land within
forest reserves in Montana, is in
the main we'll taken and will lie
approved by western people gener-
ally, but the portion which criti-
clzes the government for it's dila-
tory methods in restoring such lands
to settlement will not apply to the
Kootenai National forest, which
embraces the Kootenai valley of
Lincoln county, covering probably
three -fourths of it's area.
With the completion of the work
in the Yahk basin this past sum-
mer every acre of agricultural land
within this reserve has been cruised,
classified and listed for settlement,
and nearly all of it has been applied
for by homestead claimants through
the supervisors Office, which has
its headquarters in Libby.
The article, published in the
Helena Independent, follows:
In some sections of Montana,
particularly in Lincoln county,
which is rated at 90 per cent forest
reserve, government agents are
working with accustomed depart
mental speed ii, eliminating from
the reserves such land as is suita-
Bile for agricultural purposes.
"At the meeting of the United
States land and irrigation congress
in Chicago year ago, Governor
Norris very ably demonstrated the
injustice done to Montana in the
classification OF forest reserves in
this state. He explained that more

a year past that the demand by
tenants would at least be relieved.
if not entirely supplied. But ap-
parently the demand today is as
great as ever with no relief in
sight for the immediate future.
Perhaps hundred new houses
have been built here since a year
ago, and though the winter season
has set in there are number of
buildings in various stages of COM
pletion and new ones are being
started.
How many families Libby has
lost this year because of the scare
ity of houses is of course mere con-
lecture, but we do know that there
are number such and the fruit
less inquiries have been constant
for some time.
We do not know of safer or
surer investment for a capitalist
than the building of IS or 50 neat,
moderated priced cottages for rent.
The income on the outlay would
be "a handsome one, not to speak of
the natural increase in the price OF
realty in growing city like Libby.
One of the first things to impress a
stranger who takes walk through
town-any part of it's the num-
Der of new buildings and the alb
sence of vacant ones. He knows
he is in live, go-ahead place, and
that the civic improvements are
keeping pace with the growth of
the town.
Surely, here is a rare opening
for some capitalist who will meet
the demand for houses which it
seems our local people have been
unable to supply.

Is Yellow Peril Near ?

Speaker Thomas B. Reed once
said: The yellow man with the
white metal will some day out strip
the white man with the yellow
metal
: In view of the apparent awaken
ing of China we may we'll turn to
the American states1nan's predic-
ton and wonder if the dawn of
the day he mentioned is not rap
idly approaching, says the Butte
Miner.
On its face the statement made
by Mr.. WI Ting Fang few days
ago that the establishment of re-
public in China meant the opening
of that country's ports to the COM
merce of the world, seemed reas-
suring and indicated great ex-
pansion of trade between this coun-
try and the orient.
There is, however, some danger
to American and European COM
merce involved in modernized
China.
With its millions of population
and aroused, China is certain to
embark in the manufacturing bus
iness itself.
Mr.. James ]. Hill, short time
ago, called attention to this posi-
bility and suggested that as long
as this nation remained on a sngle
gold standard and China upon a
silver one, the Chinese would be
forced into establishing all manner
OF manufacturing plants.
His argument was, aside from
the cheap wages of the orient, that
the Chinese laborer took his pay
in Chinese money at it's face value

to the markets Of the world to buy

When the low wages in China

the fact that the yellow men ac-

An aroused China, instead Of

Letters Coming in Daily from Prospective Bridge and Bond
Bidders. County in Fine Financial Shape.

Prospective bidders for the pro-
posed $125, 900 bonds to be issued
and for the construction of three
bridges, are making active in
quiries at the county clerks office.
Probably fifty letters have already
been received from bond buyers
and bridge builders, which may be
largely accounted for because of
the splendid financial condition
of Lincoln county, which is prac-
tically on cash basis and with
immediate cash resources of near
