Need Road to the Yahk.

E. w. Taylor of the Yahk coun-
try was in town over Sunday and
in conversation with parties here
was emphatic in the opinion that
the proper place tor a road to the
Yahk basin is up Pipe creek from
Libby, as it is an easy grade and
the road could be built as cheaply
as from the basin TO connect
with either Gateway or Leonia.
It would also accommodate all in
the basin and give a better market
for their produce. There is a good
government trail over the route
now.
Mr.. Taylor's wife was appointed
postmistress for postoffice in the
basin country, but through the de-
fciency of the mail service and a
misunderstanding at Washington
another appointment was made.
But Mr.. Taylor says it is all O. K.
so long as they get the Office and
that time will adjust everything
for the accommodation of all con-
scerned.
We think the people of Libby
should look after this matter and
see that the road goes from here to
that section and mail route estab-
lished over it. 1t would not only
be benefit to US but to the people
living in the basin as we'll.

railway. Headquarters will be
established here for an extensive
shipping point of cedar poles.
The Mc1nnis company is the Sec
ond largest concern in the Coast

ducts and their entrance here will
be valuable addition to the in
dustries of the town.
Mr.. McInnis is now conferring
with Forest Supervisor Skeels in
regard to the acquisition of the
timber aud the prospects are good
that the deal will be satisfactorily
arranged.
