NICE LEAP YEAR PARTY.

The Leap Year party IN honor o1
St. Valentines at Cabinet hall on
Tuesday night will go down in the
social history of Libby as. being
one of the most enjoyable affairs Of
its kind ever given here.
The hall effects were appropriate,
and looked charming in the clus-
ters of hearts and shaded lights.
The stage was converted into a
lounging room, seemingly enjoyed
by all, while the dressing room
which had been provided met with
such approval as belied the state
ment that men generally are not
vain.
The number of exceedingly pref
ty gowns worn was noticeable and
gave rise to the thought that the
good old days of parties where
gingham dresses were the rule and
not the exception would soon be a
thing of the past.
The privileges accorded by ira
dition to the fairer sex during leap
year were used to good advantage
and each girl and woman We'd with
the other in heaping upon the part
ner of her choice countless atten-
tions and courtesies
The hostesses, consisting of the
misses and mesdames of Libby, are
to be congratulated upon the man
ner in which the whole affair was
SO happily arranged and consum-
mated.

RETAILERS IN CONVENTION

The Kalispell Chamber of Com

northwestern Montana to attend
the banquet given at the kali,pell
club rooms on Washington S birth
day, Feb. 22.
This is the second annual BAN
quet given by the chamber of com-
merce and promises to be one of
the biggest events of the season.
The banquet hall and lodge room
in the Masonic temple have been
secured for the occasion and no
pains will be spared to make it one

coming in to the Kalispell chamber
of commerce the meeting will be
largely attended by retailers all
over the country.

VOTERS ARE SLOW
IN REGISTERING

Registration of voters continue
slow, the total for the county i,
the big book at the court house be
ing but 3S3. A city election is bu
few weeks awav and to fake par
in it you must register. This is alst
presidential year. with every indi
cation that it will be redhot cam
paign, an early start and many
sensational trimmings. Don't pu
off registering until the last min
ute. 1t won't you a cent, as the
county pays all the expense.
If you live within ten miles o1
Libby, the county seat, you must
register at the courthouse with the
county clerk. All others have tc
do is to call on a justice OF the
peace or notary public and fill out
the blanks required by law.
The registration does for all
elections and is good for all time
unless you remove from the pre-
cinct or fail to vote. But you have
to register before you can vote at
any primary nominating, municipal
or school election. The time is
short now to get in on the spring
elections, as section 7 of the new
law says that during period of
thirty days Immediately preceding
the primary nominating, municipal
or school election, such registra-
tion shall be closed and no person
during the period specified shall be
permitted to register for such cleo
tion.'
But during the period that the
register is closed transfers may be
made by the county clerk of the
name of any elector from one vot-
ing precinct to another.
If you have changed your resi-
dence since you registered, see that
your transfer is all right. And if
you haven't registered get move
on yourself and do not find fault
with the elections, locally or ma

BREAK EVEN AT KALISPELL

From all accounts in the Kalis-
pell papers the two games of bas-
ketball played last Friday and
Saturday evenings at Kalspell
were about the best played this
season in that city. The first
game with the high school boys
went against Libby by score of
10 to ID. The following evening
Libby played an all-star aggrega-
ton and won by a score of Id to
10. Both games were close and
interesting and before crowded
houses. Speaking of our home
boys, the Kalispell Journal says:
After the game a reception
dance was given the Libby team
and a large crowd remained ior the
affair. A very enjoyable time was
had and the end came only with
the midnight hour. The Libby
team left yesterday morning for
their home, They impressed the
Kalispell people as gentlemanly
bunch of good fellows and made
many friends here. Such friendly
contests as these basketball games
tend to rlvet closer together the
sister counties, Flathead and LIN
coin.

BIG STRIKE OF
SOLID ORE AT
THE SN0WSH0E

The shift at the Snowshoe
mine last Friday morning broke
into 3 feet of solid galena on
the 500-foot level. From the
bottom Of the shaft a crosscut
was run % feet when the vein
was encountered. The vein
has since been cut across eight
feet without reaching the other
wall. A chunk of the ore was
brought down Friday and it is
probably the richest ore ever
taken out of the hill.
The strike at this depth
proves the Snowshoe ore body
a strong and lasting one, and
as development work has pro-
ceeded on this property the in
dications become stronger that
it is one of the big lead and
silver mines of the country.

SEEK TO E]NJ0lN
SALE OF THE
COUNTY BONDS

Injunction papers were filed
today by Attorney Walchli of
kalispell, seeking to restrain
the county from disposing of
the $125,000 bonds . voted for
roads and bridges. The legal
ity of the entire proceedings is
attacked. Robert Reid of Eu-
reka is named as complainant.
The fact that this move comes
at this late day and that Nof-
singer & Walchi, Great North
ern attorneys, are handling the
case, leads some to believe the
change of bridge location at
Troy has something to do with
it. At any rate, coming on the
heels of the notification of the
bond buying house at Chicago
that the issue had passed fav-
orably their legal department,
the injunction proceeding looks
like a case of spite work.
Judge Erickson has signed
the temporary writ, making it
returnable March 4.
Work will continue on the
bridge now under construction
at this point.

Some of the most prominent

will be great immigration from
Butte alone, as we have so many
inquiries from men of moderate
means in the big mining camp who
are desirous of coming to Lincoln
county to make their homes upon
acreage tracts near growing city
like Libby. l am glad to become
one of your citizens, / like your

ed the policy of disposing of it's

Interrogated by the Herald man
as to the position of the Northern
Pacific with their large holdings
here, Mr.. Swartz said that the land
policy of the Amalgamated about
to be inaugurated would force the
road to part with its lands suitable
for agriculture because it will be-
come too valuable to hold in its
present unimproved state.

When the representatives Of the

sions as those quoted above, and
intend backing them up in most
way, what may we not
expect the future has in store for

1t must make us begin to think
that we, who are here on the
ground, can scarcely realize this
rich future, with Libby, the city

One of the most significant events
OF the new year, locally speaking,
is the visit to Libby the first of the
week of Roy S. Alley, private sec
retary to John D. Ryan, president
of the Amalgamated Copper Min
ing company.
The significance lies in the fact
that at last is there definite pros.
pect of seeing the vast land hold
lngs of corporations in this vicinity
transferred to the small farmer and
home builder.
Mr.. Alley has himself purchased
500 acres of Big Blackfoot land on
Pipe creek, miles from Libby,
and will clear up the tract and
highly improve it. Moreover, he
intends to make his home on the
land and pass the remainder of his
days in the beautiful Kootenai
valley.
Besides his connection with the
greatest industrial enterprise of the
Treasure state, Mr.. Alley is a
member of the legislature from
Silver Bow county-a bright, ac-
tive, forceful young man-and his
alliance with the Kootenai valley
section of Montana will be a dis
tinct gain for the community. He
was caller at the Herald office
Monday, in company with Chas.
Swartz, tax agent of the North
ern Pacific Railway company, and
spoke freely of the matter in hand.
He is now perfecting for the
Amalgamated people large land
company, having for its object the
logging off and disposal of all the
lands of this company which are
more fit for agricultural than for
other purposes. The tracts imme-
diately adjoining Libby will re-
ceive the first attention and it is
the object and desire of the COM
pany to log off and clear the thous-
ands of acres owned by them and
subdivide the land into acreage
for intensive farming. Work upon
the proposition will start as soon
as possible and will be under the
direct charge and management of
Mr.. Alley. There is unlimited
capital behind the enterprise and
there can be no doubt of its sue
cess.
The fact that Lincoln county
has bonded for S125, 900 for public
highways and steel bridges across
the Kootenai river makes the time
propitious for the rapid develop
ment of the valley in an agricultu-
raj way" said Mr.. Alley. LAS
one of the large taxpayers of the
county we welcome this progress
i've step towards the opening up of
the country and from now on we
may expect to see rapid develop
ment, the attraction of large capi-
tal and the addition of many new
settlers. l confidently expect to
see within the next few years fully
five hundred farmers in the coun-
try surrounding Libby, located up
on tracts OF land from one to forty
acres, devoted to the intensive and
more profitable farming for which
the Kootenai valley is peculiarly
adapted.
"You cannot emphasize the fact
too strongly that good highways
and bridges are the big factor in
opening up this splendid country
and the money expended in build
ing your proposed trunk line high
way through the county and the
|aterals leading thereto will return
tenfold in the increased wealth of
the community through the rapid

NEWS NOTES OF
DISTRICT COURT

10 a. m. with the Hon. ]. E.
Erickson presiding and the full
quota of local officials in attend
ance After recalling of the cal
endar, in which several cases pre-
viously set for trial were disposed
of as settled, or continued by agree
ment of counsel and consent of
court, the regular jury trials were
taken up.
In the case of The State of Mon
tana VS.. Frank Gagnon, jury was
quickly impaneled and before night
had heard the case and returned a
verdict of acquittal. Gagnon was
charged with using knife on Jack
Stewart one day last fall, and made
good with the jury on his plea of
self defense. County Attorney
Scott represented the state and J..
M. Blackford, Esq, the defendant.
1nformations were filed against
the bunch of so-called deer killers,
whom Game Warden Ralston pre-
ferred charges against some weeks
ago. These defendants, Ray and
Joe Benham of Warland, J. J. Scan
lon, J. M. Senieur and J II. Frank
of Libby, were arraigned and plead
not guilty or given further time by
consent of the county attorney. +.
S. Booth was appointed to defend
Frank and Scanlon and Counsellor
Gray to look after the defense of
Senieur.
The case of Hoffman & Son VS..
Herrick was tried to a jury on
Wednesday and occupied the great
er part of the day. This was an
action to recover commission on
contract of agency to sell real es-
tate, and the jury promptly decided
in favor of plaintiffs, awarding
them the commission sued for. B.
F. Maiden appeared for plaintiffs
and Rowland & Gray for the de-
fendant.
The matter of appeal from the
order of the commissioners, deny
ing Doc Nesbit saloon license at
Rexford coming up, the same was
dismissed on motion of counsel for
protestants, on the ground that the
commissioners had made a void
order and there was accordingly no
jurisdiction of the matter acquired
by the court on appeal. Judge D.
F. Smith appeared for Nesbit and
Senator Long for the protestants
The matter is now back where it
was when Nesbit filed his petition
for license and will have to run
its course through the county COM
missioners again before it gets back
to the district court.
Default of plaintiff was entered
in the famous damage suit of Bar
mum VS.. Stanton, Shafer and 9TH
ers, for failure to make reply to the
affirmative matter in defendants
answer.
The cause of Mattox VS.. Hauser,
appealed from the justice court,
was continued to be tried by the
court or by jury from Box No. 3,
on March 4.
The motion for change of venue
in the Barnum VS.. Stanton suit was
OH briefs to be filed later
by counsel.
The court discharged the jury
Wednesday evening, and adjourned
on Thursday morning after a mum
Der of motions and demurers of
formal kind had been disposed of.
This will likely be the last jury
term in the county before election,
unless some cases of special i'm
portance come up on the criminal
calendar.
