common school," Calhoun, Webster,
Buchanan. Thaddeus Stevens. the
champion Of public schools in the early
days of Pennsylvania; Edward Ever
EFT, George Peabody, the philanthro-
pist; Horace Mann, and NJ B. Lamar.
president Of the republic OF Texas.
Coming TO more modern times. the
following are represented: William
II. Seward. Robert E. Lee, who gave
the last years Of his life 10 the cause
OF education and urged the thorough
education Of all classes OF the people; +"
lincoln. who viewed education as the
most important subject which we as a
people can be engaged in" Charles

Library Notes

The library will be closed for
month after Saturday, the 10Th.
The reason for this is that we
have to move and that during the
process of packing and removal the
ladies propose to catalogue the
books and get them in shape for
handling.
This week the Woman's club de-
cided to purchase lot opposite the
opera house, where they intend to
build a public building. For the
present the library will be moved
into the council room of the new
city hall.
We wish to say that it is ear
nestly requested that anyone hav-
ing a book out will return 1t i'm
mediately. We must haye the
books all in before we can move.

The Happy Man

The happiest man i'll the world is
the common, every day chap who
makes his own living, pays his
own bills and has the respect of his
ueighbors. He saves little mon
ey as he goes along, but doesn't
try to get a corner OH his local out
nut and is not slave to ambition
or society. lie never expects to
wear out his trousers i'll the senate,
and when he glides out Of bed III
the morning he never wastes any
time trying to pick out the right
tint of socks, suspenders and neck
tie that will blend with the general
effect.
He only wears high collar If he
feels like it, and when his pet corn
begins to Jump. he jerks out his
knife and cuts four-inch cash in
the side of his shoe, and nothing Is
said about it in the local paper. He
never has to sit up at night to poul-
tice his conscience. He believes
| in the doctrine of live and let live.
When he encounters one OF the
needy he doesn't stutter with his
pocket book. The plain plug of a
man is happy because he is satisfied
and doesn't spend half of his time
yearning for something which his
salary will not permit him to buy.
Give us more plain men and the
world will be better.

Philosophy Of A Lin
coin County Taxpayer

Who ordered an auto road
through Lincoln county? Was it
the taxpayers? How many auto
owners are paying taxes in Lincoln
county? By order of our honor
able county commissioners we are
getting a fine road cut forty feet
wide in some places OH a sixty foot
right. of way regardless of the
standing timber. Blast all the
stumps, let the timber rot and pay
the Blackfoot Milling company 81
per thousand for the timber. Lin
coin county needs good roads as
we'll as any other county to be
sure. The number of miles in
length concerns us more at present
than the number of feet in width
and if these auto gentlemen feel
inclined to widen the road they be
at liberty to do so any time, then
it will, not be necessary to stop to
let any old farmer pass him OH the
road unless there be screw loose
some: where and in need of small
favor. Isn't it bit extravagant
the county to build auto roads for
the benfit we get from it? l no.
ticed some good roads in Flathead
and Sanders counties, built for the
benefit of farmers, fit for any auto
to travel on, even if they are i'll Il
hurry. But l have nowhere seen
a strip of road cut forty feet wide.
. Maybe other counties cannot afford
what we can, or is it possible that
the auto club is putting up fol
this? So far there is no record oi
their helping out or signifying the
intention of doing so.
) There are few getting good
: thing out of this, and among then
a kick will probably never be heard

assessment for the county has been
increased about $265, 900 over thlt
OF last year. In the city of Libby
the total amount will be approxi-
mately $276, 900 90, or about $40,
600 more than last year.

A steady job at good pay is nice
thing to have. but what about the
man outside the ring, and a big
majority of us are surely outside
the ring except when it comes to
squaring ourselves on or before the
3oth of November every year with
the treasuser of our beloved county.
I do not mean to say that l
blame the men who are doing the
work OH the road. l presume they
are taking their orders from some
one higher up, from the men who
were put in Office by the majority
of voters and whate. er they do we
like, if we get busted.

STEAM HEAT FOR EUREKA

The Eureka Lumber company is
contemplating move and has un-
der consideration plan, now only
in embryo, which, if properly de-
veloped, may work revolution in
the heating system of Eureka resi-
dences and stores and also effect
considerable saving in fuel.
The plan is to secure rights, Ell
ther through permit or franchise,
to lay pipes for the conveyance OF
steam from their plant through the
streets of the town to the consumers
who wish to enjoy the benefits of
the luxury and the saving in fuel.
The plan entails an expenditure
of nearly $40, 900 in the installation
of extra machinery, appliances etc.,
and if proper support can be re-
ceived from business houses and
residences assuring the company
that it will be profitable venture,
it will probably be Installed this
fall. The company will ask for
the use of the same ditch for their
pipes as the town expects to use
for the sewer system, and it is like
ly that some agreement can be ar
rived at relative to the joint use of
the bitches.
Officials and stockholders of the
company have been investigating
the matter and say that, wherever
tried, the plan is success. The
company thinks it can in this way
utilize a great deal of the waste fu-
ell and slab wood from the sawmill
and expects to be able to put the
price of heat within the reach of all
who desire to use it.-Eureka Jour.
