little annual jobs to do to keep their

had to send miniature reproductions
of the English and French flags to the

do the same on the anniversary Of the

that Mrs. Fraek Mccarthy was

that this could be. Death was

following the birth of child.

OLDTIMER BUYS
SOME CHOICE
BUSINESS LOTS
B. F. Howard Invests $500 in
Four Vacant Business Lots
on Mineral Avenue. Mining
Men of Libby District Have
Faith in the Old Town.

All the great interior cities in
the intermountain region have been
built up by mining money. Faith
in his home town has prompted the
mining pioneer to invest his stake
money where he made it, and as a
result we have seen such splendid
cities as Denver, Salt Lake and
Spokane arise in majestic tribute
to his enterprise and homelke
faith.
Will history repeat itself here?
There can be no doubt of it if
other of our mining men are of the
stamp of B. +. Howard, the trail
blazer of the camp and early day
placer miner. Within the past
week Mr. Howard has made some
solid investments in Libby realty
which not only evidence his faith
in Libby; but show the right spirit
of enterprise. On Mineral avenue,
near 4th, he has purchased two
lots on the west side for So, 900
each and two lots directly across on
the east side for $3.50 each. This
is $50 and $50 respectively per front
foot for the lots.
1t is all old saying that when
vacant business ground begins to
be measured at $1oo or more the
front foot the town is ready to doff
its swaddling clothes and don the
metropolitan garb. Libby is ap.
preaching that class SO rapidly that
we may say with the Vermont
preacher "The crisis which was to
arrove hev arriven."
We hope we are not violating
any confidence when we say that
Mr. howard plans include sub
stantial brick business block for
the coming year which will be a
credit and ornament to the city.
1t is pleasing to see our oldtime
mining men put their dollars into
the old town. We can all take on
renewed courage and faith when
we see these grizzled veterans put
their shoulder to the wheel and
keep it rolling on to a Greater
Libby.
If Libby is not to be city
something more than an overgrown
village-then the best Judgment of
the visitor and the native alike is
at fault.

BIG BUNCH
OF BIDDERS
ON HAND
Contract Let for 3 Bridges
Across kootenai at $82,1OO.
Steel Structures with Con-
crete Piers. Cost Less than
Campaign Claims.

The proposition to build three
bridges across the Kootenai river
assumed tangible form on Monday
when the county commissioners let
the contract for their construction
to the Coast Bridge company of
Portland, Oregon, for the sum OF
$50, 100. This price, as we un-
derstand, is for the bridges com
plete, and will leave $4,000 to be
expended upon roads and high
ways.
During the few days preceding
Saturday, December 1o, when the
bids were opened by the commits
sioners, the representatives. of 21
different bidders were busy prepar-
ing plans and bids and gave a busy
appearance around the hotel lob
bies. The bids ranged in prices
from $13,2o up to $46ooo for a
single bridge, and from $72, 900 to
$125, 900 for all three bridges.
The commissioners, with the aid
of County Surveyor Duthie, spent
Saturday, Sunday and Monday in
analyzing the different bids sub
mitted. 1t is a matter of congrat-
ulation that after the letting of the
contract no complaint was made by
the unsuccessful bidders, but that
the commissioners had accepted the
lowest bid received. On the con-
trary, several competing bidders
stated openly that the bid of the
Coast Bridge company was the best
and lowest bid received.
The representatives of the sew
eral companies were all pleased
with not only their treatment
while in Libby, but at the pros
poets of the future of this vicinity.
Senator Dixon on December 13
introduced in the senate a bill
known as S. B. 3776, authorizing
the construction of the bridges by
the commissioners and he will push
it to an early passage.
The bonds authorized will be
sold January 4, and it is the belief
of the contractors that construction
of the bridges can be commenced
within 40 days and carried to COM
pletion before the high water.
County Attorney Scott is pre-
pairing the contract, and as soon as
it is signed it is expected that the
Coast company will begin opera
tions.

YICTOR-EMPIRE
STARTS TUNNEL
AT FOOT OF HILL

N. d. Murray of the New Vic
tor Empire returned last Friday
from a trip to Spokane, where he
was given contract for 100 feet
of tunnel on the property. Mr..
Murray recently encountered a
body of high-grade galena in a
winze in the long tunnel, about 70
feet from the portal. This tunnel
has cut number of veins, and the
ore sunk upon gave such graft
flying results that the company de-
cided to let contract for tunnel
from the foot of the mountain, the
initial work of 100 feet being now
undertaken by Mr.. Murray. The
new tunnel will cut the lead un-
covered in the VIM at a depth of
about 40 feet, and Mr.. Murray has
taken up supplies to push the work.
The last strike Oh the property
showed up body of ore, the fin
est of any yet encountered and was
so encouraging as to warrant the
new work. Work had to he aban-
doned in the the winze because of
water, which came in at the rate
of 100 gallons per minute, and it
was decided to start the lower
work.

NEW ESTRAY LAW
IS A C0RKER TO
FOLLOW OUT

Under a ruling of Attorney Cen
eral Galen last week to the county
attorney of Gallatin county, ranch
men and others must discontinue the
practice of advertising estray stock
for sale that haye come to their
place to pay the cost of feeding and
caring for same. The Montana
statutes do not authorize such pro-
cedure. The right way to be fol-
lowed by persons who take in live
stock is laid down about as follows:
II you save any domestic animal
from drowning or starvation, if it
has value of $40 or more, your
first step is to notify the owner,
but if such owner is unknown to
you you must within S days ap-
pear before a justice of the peace
and make affidavit, stating the
particulars of your find and that
you are not secreting the property.
The justice must then summon
three disinterested householders to
appraise the same. The apprais-
ers, or any two of them, must
make two lists of the valuation and
description of such property, and
sign and make oath to the same,
and deliver one of the lists to the
finder and the other to the Justice
of the peace.
The justice must file such list
and the finder must transmit
copy of the same to the county
clerk, who must record the same in
book known as the "Estray and
Lost Property Book" within IS
days, and the finder must at once
post up at the court house door and
four other public places in the
township or city copy of such
valuation and description of the
property.
If no owner appears and proves
the property within six months,
and the value thereof does not ex-
ceed $40, the same vests in the
finder, but if the value exceeds $40
the finder must within 80 days af-
ter setting up the list mentioned in
the preceding paragraph cause a

EGGS MUST Be
BRANDED AFTER
JANUARY FIRST

After January I, according to
the law passed by the last legisla-
ture, all eggs must be branded,
showing the age of each egg. In
this way a customer knows when
he is getting real fresh eggs. The
following is quoted from the regu-
lations
Eggs shall be known as fresh
eggs, ranch eggs and case eggs.
ANY eggs sold or offered for
sale as fresh eggs that are more
than seven days old shall be
deemed misbranded.
Under the title of ranch eggs
are eggs that have not been pre-
served, or the age of which is not
known.
All eggs that have been kept
in cold storage, or have been pre-
served in any way, shall be known
as case eggs, and the containers of
such eggs must be plainly marked
thereon in letters not less than two
inches high the month and the
year in which such eggs were
placed i'll cold storage. Any eggs
which have been preserved in any
way which are offered for sale with
out such label being plainly on the
container, shall be deemed mis-
branded.'
The law provides severe penal
ty for misbranding food products.
