ECZEMA ON ENTIRE SCALP

R. f. D. No. 2, Sunfield, Mich.-'T
was troubled with eczema. 1t began
with a sore on the top Of the scalp,
broke out as a pimple and grew larger
until 1t was large red spot with q
crust or scab over it. This became
larger finally covering the entire scalp
and spread to different parts of the
body, the limbs and back and In the
ears. These sores grew larger grad
ually until some were as large as a
quarter of dollar. They would itch
and If scratched they would bleed and
smart. The clothing would irritate
them at night when it was being re-
moved causing them to itch and smart
30 l could not sleep. A watery fluid
would run from them. My scalp be-
came covered with a scale and when
the hair was raised up 1t would raise
this scale; the hair was coming out
terribly.

no relief and after using Cuticura

MAN KILLED AT Y0LC0UR

WEST bound passenger train No.
4 Monday picked up dead man
on the right of way near Volcour
and carried the body to Ural where
it'll was trausferrd to freight and
and brought to Libby and turned
over to Coroner Gompf. There
was nothing on the man to identify
him. He was about IS years old
and a six footer. The body was
frozen stiff so that a thorough ex-
animation could not be made but
from appearances it seems that the
neck was broken. He was prob
ably struck by train. Coroner
Gompf is up at Ural now investi-
eating the case. A couple of
lumber jacks identified the man as
one who had worked at Brennen's
logging camp and that he was
called Bert. More than that they
did not know.

COMMERCIAL CLUB MEETING WAS
ENTHUSIASTIC AND BENEFICIAL

was appointed to draft bill to be
sent to our member in the house at
Helena to be introduced. L. H.
Faust, Attorneys Maiden and Scott
were given this job. 1t was also
decided to ask for a game warden
for Lincoln alone. The idea is to
cut down the limit of deer allowing
each person one only and forbid
the killing of females. 1t seems
that the limit would be too small
at allowing only one when a man
is not allowed to shoot females.
However it will do away with the
promiscuous killing of white cows
and red coated hunters.
The matter Of having a rural de-
livery route from Marion was
taken up and the CLUB decided to
do all it could to keep the trade on
this proposed route coming to Lib
by and will help the people out
that way to get free delivery.

GOOD PICTURES
OF new ROAD
Frank Stoop Tells of his trip
From kalispell to Libby
Over this Road

Kalispell, Mont.-Editor Motor
Age:-When the Great Northern
railway abandoned it's line west of
Kalispell to Jennings, distance of
about IS miles, little thought was
given that it might be used some day
as fine driveway for motor cars, for
at that time very few cars were own
ed in Kalispell, but now that the de-
mand has arisen for an outlet west
to Spokane, this old roadbed is be-
ing pressed into service by removing
the ties and grading it down.
The high trestles are widened by
planking them with the old ties, US
ing them two wide, or 16 feet, in
stead of feet, and installing a good
railing. This makes a very satisfac-
tory bridge. The Haskell pass tun-
mel, which is about one-eighth of
mile in length, is in perfect condition
with the exception of some water,
and adds thrills to the motorist who
cares to open the cutout and press
the electric horn button.
The old crossing and whistle posts
are still in position and when driv-
ing along over this route with a little
imagination thrown in, all the parts
of fast mail or California Limited
can be played. The driver can be the
engineer, someone can call the sta
tions, etc., but no one need lose their
job If the train is late.
At very recent date l had the
pleasure of making this trip, togeth-
or with Mrs. Stoop, taking our time,
stopping along the way when we felt
like it, taking pictures, catching
trout and shooting grouse. We had
our bed and provisions with us, for it
is through beautiful country, full
Of wild game and houses very far
apart. We camped out two nights
and returned home feeling we had
enjoyed one of the best trips of our
lives.
In getting good motor road west
from Kalispell to Spokane through
Libby, Mont, two routes are feasible
and both probably will be used. One
of them over this old abandoned rail-
road line through Jennings. and an
other leaves this old line at little
station called Marion, leads south
west few miles and thence wester-
ly, by McGregor and Thompson lakes.

The Libby Commercial Club had
large attendance at its meeting
last Friday night, in fact it was
the best meeting the club has had
for some time. The business men
of the town practically turned out
in a body. Important business
was taken up and handled in fine
shape. The meeting was called by
President Gray primarily to con
slider letter from the Kalispell
Chamber of Commerce. In this
letter Libby was asked to appoint
committee to meet with a COM
mittee from Eureka to make pro-
vision for dividing the county and
giving Eureka some of it so that
she could have county seat. The
matter was discussed pro and con
and J. P. Wall made motion to
drop the matter and pay no atten-
ton to it other than to inform them
that we had nothing to divide.
This motion satisfied the meeting
and was carried unanimously.
AT previous meeting COM
mittee had been appointed to raise
funds to pay debt incurred by
the club two years ago of $500.
This thing had got balled up and
the outcome of the matter is that
the club is called upon to pay
debt that they did not think they
incurred although they received
the services. During the county
seat battle a lawyer from Great
Falls was hired to defend Libby
before the courts. The manage
ment of the Electric Light company
at that time agreed to pay for this
but before it was paid for the
management was changed and the
directorate shifted around and the
new people did not buy the debt
and refused to pay it. The lawyer
therefore looked to the club and its
members for his pay. He caught

in settling the whole for $500.
