formulated that seems satisfactory

The embarrassment OF the Mon

worst IS but temporary, and the
company expects to have every

plans are we'll maturtl and per

the full and effective financing OF
the plans assured.
AS an evidence of such assurance
the company has arranged to fur

he may need for getting the mine
and mill into operation, and to pay
off the old labor claims outstand-

four thousand dollars. The par

receiver certificates of Indebtedness
for such advances, and have agreed
that such certificates, instead Of

One OF THE BEST
MONTANA TOWNS

The following from the Kalispell
Bee gives an outsiders opinion OF
Libby
1T is revelation to those who
have not visited Libby for some
time, to see the strides the town is
making. The location is ideal and
there is plenty of room for a
large and prosperous city to be
built The stumps are being re-
moved, and the recent organization
of civic improvement club, which
offers prizes for the greatest i'm
provements made III certain districts
Of the town, promises to see the
place grow in beauty ard attract
iveness with rapid strides.
"There are several miles Of cement
walks, which give substantial air
to the place. Electric lights are
placed all about and the erstwhile
dark and dangerous streets are
now we'll lighted. Many pretty
residences are scattered all over
the town which look las if the
owners intended to live there for
ever. The business houses are
we'll stocked with merchandise and
the residents of Libby do not have
to go 10 other places to satisfy
thler needs. The bridge which is
being built across the Kootenai
river will, wien completed, be a
great factor in creating increased
business i'll the town. Operations
are at present suspended because
of the controversy with Eureka,
but everyone in Libby is confident
that matters will soon be adjusted
and the work rushed to completion.
The sawmill has resumed opera
tion and will soon be running a
double shift. The mines south of
Libby are among the best in the
country, and the day is not far
distant when they will be operated
to their fullest capacities. The
men who have stuck to Libby thru
adversely, trials and setbacks, are
now resting easily upon their oars,
and enjoying the fruits of their
labors. They are exultant because
they have won the fight and have
made the foundation of one of the
best towns in Montana strong sub
stantial and sure"

The California people who ar
rived here last week to confer with
the receiver and creditors of the
Snowshoe properties, with view
of clearing up the entanglements
that resulted in the receivership,

their mission.
There were of the party +. H.

Smelling company which took over
all the holdings of the operators on
December 6 last; Geo. L. DeGolia

FRANKED MAIL
MUCH ovERDoNE
Send Campaign Literature to
Different Towns and Frank
from There to Nearby Post
omces.---' Soft Thing.

That the franking privilege is
greatly abused by many congress-
men at all times is we'll known and
in campaign times more than ever.
This week numbers of franked let
ters have been received in Libby
and other Lincoln county towns
containing speech of a presiden-
t1al aspirant, franked by y. S.
senator and mailed from the Kalis-
pell postotfice.
1t is bad enough for a govern
lnent official to use such frank
from Washington. but to send
quantities of literature to numerous
towns throughout the country and
have it mailed from there under
frank to the surrounding country
is clearly abusing the right.
1t is work like this that over
burdens the mails and makes the
department hunt around tor a way
to stop the deficit, generally land
ing on the newspapers and maga-
zines with demand that they pay
increased postage.

A BAD RECORD.

Representative Mann, of Illinios, a
republican member of the popular
branch Of congress, characterizes Its
work this year as disorGanized, mac
tive, inefficient and unprogressive.
The characterization is severe, but
study of the recosd will convince the
country that it is not unjust.
An overshadowing question when
the session opeued last December was
the revision of the tariff The Dresi-
dent last summer had warned congress
that, unless it based it's future action
on the reports of the tariff board that
it had itself created, he would repeat
his vetoes of hammer -and-hatchet
revisions made for politics only. But
congress this year repeated the tariff
performances of last year and the
president kent his promise to protect
American industries and workers from
the effects of ignorant AMI Dartizan
alashing of schedules The responsi-
bility for Objectionable schedules re-
manning unrevised rests with the
democrats.
They also started with lofty pro-
fessions of purposes of economy, but
this boast likewise went by the board.
They passed the largest grant OF
money for pensions that has ever been
proposed and afterward abandoned all
efforts for economy. Outside Of ex-
penditures for the Panama canal,
which form special expenses, the aD-
preparations of this session of congress
exceeded those of the so-called "ex-
travagant" last session of the pre-
cedinQ republican congress.
This extravaganza of congress was
balanced bv refusals of aDpropria-
tions absolutely essential for efficient
administration of national affairs.
The treatment of the nsvv is care m
point, and the killing of the tariff
board another.
The lower house also tried to des-
trov the merit system in the civil
service of the federal government, and
employed the trick of putin" riders
on legitimate legislation to an extent
never known before. Spokesman

Gov. West is stirring things down
at Portland and some of the
municipal rotteDness is heiDR
exposed. The governor may be
somewhat of a freak, and his activity
in cleaning up some of the towns and
cities of the state is very much out
of the ordinary but he is showing
those who are elected to uphold law
and decency that there is something
for them to do, and he expects them
to do it. Portland may not be IS
bad as some other cities, but there
is certainly enough coming to light
down that way to show that things
are rotten enough. We can't help
but think that Gov. West is doing q
lot of good even though we do not
at gether en- lorse his methods. It
takes radical movements of this
nature sometimes to arouse our
citizens, and If those who are elected
to enforce the laws in the local
communities will not do their duty
and allow conditions to exist and
illigitimate businesses to flourish
in which It is proven they are profit
sharers, then it is time for some
higher authority to step in and call
halt. The governor is doing
things"to some of the smaller towns t,
as we'll, and the crusade may not be
confined to just the large places.
