TWAS A QUIET FOURTH AT HOME,

Fourth of July was quiet day
in Libby, genuine Holiday.
Small picnic parties were out
near town in every direction. Fish

Flower and Parmenter creeks,
across on Pipe creek and up and
down the kootenai and over on
the Fisher. All reported good
catches.
Quite a number of citizens were
down to Bonners Ferry in response
to the very cordial invitation ex-
tended by the boosters from there

at a thirty or forty mile clip and
was within thirty feet of the man
before the fireman from the look
out on his side of the train saw
him. OF course the train could
not be stopped. The iron step
on the COW catcher struck him on
the side of the head and killed him
instantly. The train crew picked
up the body and brought it back to
Warland and reported the matter
to the coroner here. Mr.. Ottowa
went up Saturday morning to the
scene of the accident and found
the head off a number of feet in
the bushes and brought the re-
mains to Libby for burial. The
interm>nt took place Sunday af-
ternoon.
The coroner saw and talked
with the engine crew, Mr.. Schoon-
over and his fireman, and conclnd-
ed that it was not necessary to hold
a formal inquest.

GOOD ROADS THE
LVEST QUESTION
Lincoln Not Only Needs Roads, but Needs Them Badly
Everybody Boost.

Reports from the Good Roads
meeting in Anaconda are of sort
to encourage the enthusiasts of this
part of Montana. We need roads
as perhaps no county in the state
does. This, of course, means that
good roads, or any old roads here,
will cost more than in other coun-
ties. Otherwise, we would have
had more of them. And, by the
same token, just so sure as we need
roads worse than any other section
of the state, just so sure will we
reap greater benefit from our pres
ent accomplishment in that direc-
ton.
The scenic beauties of our river,
forest and lake regions, with the
hunting and fishing afforded
throughout the county, would
readily be capitalized on paying
basis at vastly more than the
county need spend just now to
open the roads, if such beauties of
our county could be controlled by

range for some entertainment or
entertainments by which money
could be raised for such purposes.
This is an organization that
means more in practical dollars and
cents to the business men and
property owners in Libby than can
we'll be estimated. Our fire bows
not only should be we'll organized,
but they should be in touch with
the state organization, and shonld
have the advantage of training
hints, suggestions and instructions
that can only be had from attend
ing state meetings where practical
fire fighting problems and questions
are discussed by experienced fire
fighters.
Some one little hint or sugges-
tion picked up by wideawake dele
gate from here to such state con-
vention may reasonably make a
difference of hundreds of thous-
ands of dollars in property saved at
the next FIRE which occurs in this
city.
We understand that the finances
OF Our little city are not in such
shape that any substantial aid or
salary can be paid to these volun-
teer fire fighters. We do believe,
however, that if the boys get or
ganlzed the city should make
some special effort to assist them
to establish and maintain quarters
that will be inviting and attractive,
a standing inducement to the
young men who comprise the
membership of the company to be
on duty, as they are regularly de-
tailed, to look after the fire protec-
ton of our city. We believe that
the city council could and should
furnish some small amount per
month, payable to the treasurer of
the fire association, for necessary
incidental expenses and should pay
small per diem to the boys actual
ly on duty and rendering services
at any fire which may occur.
1t may be that some such scheme
as this is now in force. If it is, we
have not learned of it. If 1t is not,
we certainly would commend it to
the earnest consideration of our
city fathers.

Man BEHEADED
NEAR WARLAND
C. {. Endersby Attends Dance, On Way Home Rests On
Track, Falls Asleep

Coroner Ottowa went to War
| md on Saturday morning to in
vestigate report that a man had
been killed near there by a train.
He found that the body of the
man, practically headless, had been
b ought into Warland by the rail-
road people and on further inves-
tigation learned all the facts with
to his being killed.
The dead man was c.. c. Enders-
by of Homers, Nebraska, who had
been several years about this part
of the state and was stopping on
the Peloquin ranch near Volcour
at the time of the accident. He
had been to Warland where he
spent the 4th, and danced all night
and started to walk home I'D the
track OH Friday morning, and
about two miles from Warland sat

some private enterprise. And that
is only one feature of the case.
The chief point is to afford roads
for the immediate business use of
our settlers, and prospective se'-
tiers; roads for onr farmers to get
back and forth on to and from
town; roads up into our mining
sections; roads out into onr timber
sections, both for commercial and
fire protection purposes.
The fact that tourists through
our county may come through, see,
be pleased, and so advertise our
beauties and resources is fine, and
worth while, but primarily the
roads are intended and should be
built for the use and benefit of
the business men and tax PAYERS
of our county-farmers, miners and
lumbermen.

FIRE ladies HOLD
IMPORTANT MEETING

A we'll attended and enthusiastic
meeting of the members of the
Libby fire company was held on
the evening of July $ at the office
of chief of police IN the city Jail
building, Nearly all of the active
members of the fire company were
present and large amount of i'm
portant business was taken up and
considered.
For some time the idea has been
growing in the minds of the fire
boys that they wanted quarters of
their own here IN the city for club
rooms and sleeping quarters for
those of their number who are de-
tailed to be on duty from time to
time and the question of obtaining
property and getting such quarters
established was pretty thoroughly
threshed out. On advice which
the boys had it was discovered that
the first important step in connec-
ton with acquiring the property
for such use for the fire company
itself, was the question of incorpor-
alton and it was practically decided
by unanimous agreement of the
members present that steps should
be taken at once to incorporate the
local fire company SO as to put it
on business basis where it will
be able to own its own property
and also have such an organization
as will admit it to membership in
the state fremens association.
Steps will be taken at once to ac-
complish the incorporation and
procure membership charter with
the state organization.
This of course brought up an
other question and that was the
sending of delegates to the state
fremans' association at Great Falls.
1t will be held August 28, 20 and
30, next month. Fire Chief W. S.
Megquier and Assistant Chief VIM
Kemp were selected as delegates
from the Libby volunteer fire CON-
pany to attend this state conven-
tion in Great Falls. 1t will be nec-
