MARY E. HEMINGWAY

Mary E. Hemingway, wife of
Grover Hemingway, died at their
home in E. Libby Sunday evening.
They had spent the winter in Butte,
thinking that the change of eli
mate would benefit her, and had
returned to Libby but few weeks
ago. The change seemed to help
for while, but lately her health
failed fast until the end came. The
funeral services were held from the
Catholic church Tuesday morning
and interment was made in the
Libby cemetery. Rev. Father
Hanna conducted the services.
Mary E. Hemingway was 26
years old and leayes a husband,
two sisters in S. Dakota and some
distant relatives in Butte to mourn
her death.

IS THIS SAVING MONEY FOR The CITY OF LIBBY?
TIT CAREFUL SPENDING OF THE PUBLIC FUNDS?

At the city council meeting last
Thursday night bids for the city
printing for the next year were
opened and the contract was
awarded to the Western News at a
price approximately three times
what the Libby Herald offered to
do the work for. The Herald is
not in the habit of putting up a
holler when it gets scooped; but
this is SO raw that we cannot but
help telling the people of Libby
about it, the taxpayer whose mon
ey is thus being ruthlessly squan-
dered. When the new city council
took their seats the first of the
month it was understood that the
new regime would stand for econo-
my first, last and all the time.

WILL ADD MORE STAMPS

The Kalispell-Lincoln mining
and milling company are hauling
to, and installing at, their mine on
West Fisher some Of the latest and
most improved mining machinery.
1t is expected that everything will
be in shape by June 1st to begin
operations at the mine. Double
shifts of twenty men will be em
ployed throughout the summer and
fall, and possibly winter.
This is one OF the richest mining
properties in the state. A major
ity of the stock IS held by local
people, who are more than optimis.
tic about the prospects of the
seasons run. S. F. Ralston is
superintendent of the mine.

DR. AUID MOVES OFFICES

DR.. R. w. Auld has moved his
offices from the Libby Hospital to
the bakery building on Mineral
avenue, having leased the quarters
lately vacated by John Zilinsky.
DR.. Auld has decided that the la
borers of Lincoln county need hos
pital service; and he is making ar
rangements along that line. After
June 1st a resident nurse will be
installed at the Libby Hospital;
the building will then be able to
take charge of patients all the time.
This is move in the right direc-
ton and deserves to be commend
ed; for it has been almost impossi
BILE to get hospital service in this
county hitherto. 1t is to be hoped
that it will no longer be necessary
to send SO much money annually
to Spokane, Bonners Ferry and
Whitehsh for hospital service.

ed.
A startling feature of this meet
ing was the resignation of City
Treasurer Henry Brink, who said
that it appeared to be to the inter
est of all concerned that be should
do SO. The mayor asked him to
reconsider the matter; nothing do
ing. The question of his successor
was brought up, but its considera.
tion was deferred till the next meet
ing Alderman Wells introduced
a resolution advocating that the
council procure someone to do the
work without pay. Herman Book
man doggedly opposed this; but
the matter will probably not be
settled till the next meeting.
The bond of w. E. Doak was
accepted and he took his seat as

will notice, the Herald bid for the
work at IS per cent. of the statute
ry rate. The statutory rate al
lowed by law is 81. 50 per folio for
the first insertion and soc. per folio
for each insertion after that. A
folio is 100 words. Take the West
ern News and count 100 words in
one of its columns; you will find
it takes approximately ~ lines to
make folio. For purposes of
comparison we have used II lines
as being equivalent to folio.
Look at the comparisons very close
ly, and don't forget that it is your
money which is paying the differ
ence, and that the men you elected
to Office in order to safeguard your
interests are the men WHO are pay
ing it out.

When the bids were opened
they were discussed by the coun-
Gil. Some of the aldermen said
they did not understand the Her
aid bid (although the contract was
let on the same kind of bid last
year.) The Herald representative
was present and volunteered to an
swer any questions the council
might ask. But the council, after
getting their heads together for a
few minutes, ratified the motion of
Herman Bockman: "That the
Western News bid be accepted as
the best bid" For the benefit of

ing for this, we have figured out
the two bids; and we herewith

The Libby herald. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1911-1913, 1913-05-23

Editor OF the Herald, Dear sir:
AS an earnest disciple of the cult
of New Thought, l would like to
advocate that some trial and con-
certed effort be made by the tax
payers of the City of Libby toward
WILLING STRONGLY in the matter
of those various projects so often
prophesied as likely to come, as
certain to come, or as actually COM
ing: THAT THEY DO NOW MATERI-
AL1sE.
am credibly informed that this
prophesying of railways has been
going on for years; l know it has
been the main topic for months.
Up to this writing there has not
been the faintest appearance of
even one railway or one surveyor.
Mr. Faust on that excellent wind
instrument of his, the Western
News, has rendered four or five
different railway tunes with fam
tasias; while around every stove
in winter the building goes on mer-
rily.
Now if all the taxpayers could
"get together MENTALLY on this
matter at certain fixed and ap-
pointed hour with predetermined
outline of the route of the road and
probable location of the new depot,
and, after allowing their minds to
become absolutely passive and de-
void of thought Ca condition which
they should not find impossible),
begin to fix them strongly on the
above ideas, I think we might get
early results.
This is the age of combination,
united effort and teamwork, from
baseball to the manufacture of steel
rails. Why not apply it to the
materiallsing of the railway from
the pure idea.
l am sure it would work aud get
results, if only we have faith.
The hour could be fixed by Mr..
Switzer, and the Marshal could get
us all busy by stroke of the bell.
One twist of his mighty wrist, af1d
he'd set us all thinking hard.
We might appoint two, or even
three, seances a week and develop
thus gradually a harmony of effort.
Beginning with the general idea of
a railway coming here soon, we
might advance step by step to the
actual location of the depot. At
this stage the arrival of the survey
ors could be looked for with cer-
tainty. Or on Tuesdays we might
think strongly on the cutoff, while
on Thursdays we could give to the
Milwaukee our undivided attention.
l do wish Mr.. Switzer would
take this matter up. l am thor
oughly OF opinion that it would
bear fruit-of some sort.
l am, very truly yours,

THINKS JAR OF JAM A BOMB
New York Judge Finds Mysterious
Bundle, Which Police Soak
in Water.

New York-Strawberry jam caused
the scare Jam like that which moth
er used to make-the kind that we
stole when we were kiddies, and then
got licked for the "swipin'.
When Judge Thompson of Brooklyn
returned home he found on the fourth
floor an oblong pasteboard box about
eight inches long and three inches
wide in which were what appeared to
be two metal cylinders. His curiosity
stopped then and with more speed
than grace he darted downstairs and
called up police headquarters, explain
ing that he had found bomb.
Detective Ward was sent to the
house. At arms length he carried the
bomb to the police station and soaked
it in water, while the nerves of some
Of his fellow-policemen began to be-
come bit ragged.
Visions of an honor medal appeared
to Ward as he began to open the sus-
pected bomb. Everybody was breath
ing hard He severed the strings and
there was a sorry-looking detective,
for the bomb was two innocent jars
of strawberry jam.

ache was due to the fact that his
stomach was empty, and that he
would feel better if he had something

for the family to retire, the young

well. Would she do to breed from?"
Emphatically, NO!
The following suggestions may be
outlined for the guidance of farmers
in conducting thier horse breeding
operations. ~
Commence grading up the farm
horse stock by mating carefully Sc
lected, muscular, pure-bred registered
stations. Continue year after year to
use the best obtainable pure-bred
males of the character and breed first
chosen and never out-cross to any
other breed. '..
Do not use any stallion that is un-
sound, unsuitable, partially impotent
unlicensed or not registered in a stud
book recognized by the department Of
agriculture, Washington, d. G.
Do not breed from any mare that Is
suitable, a poor mixer. or cross
mother.
Properly feed, shelter and care for
the pregnant and nursing mares and
from birth until ready for market,
nourish their offspring in such way
as to prevent stunning and insure per-
feet development.
Encourage the working of pure
bred stations sufficient to- keep them
healthy, muscular, prepotent and pre-
vent pampering, weakness, partial i'm
potence and actual sterility and so
tend to insure vigor, strong constitu-
ton and health in their offspring at
birth and throughout life.
As soon as possible stop working
scrub horses on the farm and in their
place use grade horses of good quality
and character, well fed, properly
groomed, furnished with attractive,
nicely kept harness and hitched to
modern implements, wagons and car
riages.
Organize township and county asso-
Citations for community breeding Of
horses of the same blood, character
and quality and to more readily OBJ
tain pure-bred stations and mares
and insure a profitable market for
surplus horses.
Encourage representative exhibits
at the county fairs, of pure-bred stall
lions and mares and grade mares,
gelding, farm teams, and young stock
by pure bred sires. Discourage the
Offering of classes and premiums for
grades and mongrel or scrub stations
or thier progeny.
Boost for the betterment of the
horse breeding industry and do moth
ing to retard its progress.
