To Pay Pensioners
Direct From Capitol

Washington, Dec. 1.-The new
system of paying all persons on the
federal pension rolls from Wash
ington, instead of through the 1S
pension agencies, is being put into
effect by the pension bureau.
Checks are being sent 800, 900
pensioners heretofore covered by
the agencies at Augusta, Ca; Bos-
ton, Columbus, Detroit, Washing.
ton and San Francisco. The per-
sonnel of the agencies at Indian
apolis, Knoxville, Louisville, New
York. Philadelphia and Topeka,
which have completed their Nov
ember payments, soon will be age
ncy transfers to the pension bureau.
For the first time in history the
pensioners will be paid without the
tormality of vouchers, the checks
serving the same purpose, by re-
quiring endorsement by the pen
sioner, in the presence of two wit
nesses. The pensioner also must
prepare for the endorser his GER
tifcate. the number must tally with
the certificate number.

CITY FATHERS in SESSION
Sewer Bonds Ar, Sold To
Rose & Reynaud For
A Good Price

At the meeting of the city council
last Wedne sday night to finish
dlsposing of the $4,000 issue of
sewer bonds. The contractors
Rose & Reynaud were sold the
bonds at $15o35 and accrued IN
terest. Keene & Company of
Chicago who were making such
fuss about not being allowed to buy
the bonds, failed to put up the
money. This company had bid
the same as Rose & Keynaud and
the contractors asked the council
to let them have the bonds provid-
ed they put up the money right
away.
The financial standing of this
company was not very good and
the council gave them 4s hours to
put the money in Chicago bank
to the credit Of the city. This
they failed to do, although they
sent a telegram saying that the
money was ready for the bonds but
would not ask the bank to vouch
for them. The council figured
that this company did not deserve
any more consideration and award
ed the bonds to Rose & Reynaud.
Rose & Reynaud have made ar
rangements to dispose of the bonds
in Spokane and the money is on
the way to the city treasury.
The Keene company has instruct
ed Booth & Maiden to start a suit
for damages against the city of
Libby, but as they did not fulfill
their part of the supposed contract
City Attorney Rice says they have
no standing whatever and not one
chance to win.

To Have Lecture Course

Last week Mr.. William Raoue,
representing the Socialist Party
Lvceum department, paid visit to
Libby.
Last year the national organiza-
ton of the socialist party began
systematic course of lectures which
were delivered to something over
fifteen hundred audiences in all
parts of the country. This year
the same plan is to be followed,
only that the number of the speak
ers is increased so that there will
be delivered all told some five
thousand lectures.
The local socialists of Libby will
in all probability arrange for the
course of five lectures to be given
here this winter. The five lectures
are given as premium for the
sale of a certain amount of socia-
list books and periodicals and are
so arranged as to come week
apart and taken all together to
give a comprehensive grasp Of the
socialist philosophy and purpose.

LINCOLN COUNTY S. S.
ASSOCIATION CONVENTION
(Contributed)

This organization, said to be the
first organization of any kind to be
effected in Lincoln county, held its
fourth annual convention at the
Baptist church of Eureka last Fri.
Sat and Sun. There were five
delegates from Libby, three from
the Presbyterian SIS. and two from
the North Libby SIS. Our Libby
delegation could stay only until
No. 3 train came along Sat. p. m
SO this report is not complete.
The first session opened Fri. a m.
at 10 o'clock and was opened by a
devotional service led by the Pres.
Of the Co. Association. This was
followed by we'll prepared and
able address of welcome by Rev. J.
E. Thomas, pastor of the Baptist
church. Mrs. Herbst responded
with brief but spicy address in
which she informed the convent
ion that our Association was the
first organization effected in Lin
coin county and led us to take cour-
age from that fact.
Rev. c. E. Smith of the M. E.
church of Eureka then gave an
able address on 'How Best to
Compete with the World" " Thus
the entire am. program was carri-
ed out as planned.
The afternoon program did not
fare is we'll as far as following the
plan was concerned. Mrs. Wright
had missed the train and Rev.
Ellis train was late, but Rev. r. A.
Stancliff of Kalispell got in at noon
and took the two periods thus left
open besides his own and Mr.. Stan
cliffe can keep a Sunday School
convention pro6tably interested for
one afternoon. The devotional
meeting based on Il seek not yours
but you," led by Rev. Stancliffe
and the Missionary Conference led
by the Pres. of the Association in
the absence of the appointed leader
drew out interesting addresses
from many of the delegates. While
the address on the New Graded |
Lessons and especially the illustrat-
ed address to the Children by Mr..
Stancliffe were full of worth and
interest.
Revs. Afford and Ellis, both ex-
perienced Sunday School men of
the first magnitude came in on No.
after 4 pm. and were present for
the evening session.
The Friday evening session was
a great meeting. Rev. Ellis led
the devotional meeting, Rev. Stan
