formal recommendation was made to
the Bureau of Public Roads for in
Guiding on the Federal Highway Sys-

We trust that you understand that

to the addition Of mileage to the Fed

recommend additions which must then
be passed upon by the Bureau Of Public
Roads and submitted with the recon-

the Secretary OF Agriculture for final
decision. However, we understand that
the Bureau will favorably recommend
the addition Of this route and wc
think that final approval Of the Sec
rotary Of Agriculture win be forth
coming though it may be several
months before we are advised Of his
final action.

great white plague took an appalling
loss Of life in the Treasure State. 1t
stood at the head of the mortality Ia
bles as the cause OF death. And it
was the more terrible because its vic
tins were young and middle-aged
folk, breadwinners of families, and
potential citizens of value to the COM
munity.
Today tuberculosis stands fifth in
the list of mortality in Montana. Sci
entific, effective methods of treat
ment, but more especially the educa-
ton of the public to the symptoms
and the imperative need of prompt
treatment when the disease is evident,
have reduced the death rate from this
disease to an amazing extent.
And for this splendid record the
Christmas seal of the Montana Tuber-
culosis Association has been largely
responsible, for it has raised the
money to carry on the fight against
tuberculosis in Montana for the past
Is years.
The Montana tuberculosis associa-
ton, despite its public service, asks
but little in the way of public assis-
lance. Once year, in the holiday sea~
son, it conducts its annual sale OF
Christmas seals, from the proceeds OF
which its work is financed.
Let us all do our part in the work.
Let us buy seals as generously as pos
sible, and send them out in the coming
weeks as a sign that we know and
appreciate the value Of the service the
association is rendering.
The Libby drive is under the direc-
ton of Mrs. Ed. Olson, chairman.

YearS0ld
Supt. Wood Is Sent Inter
esting Historical Souvenir
From White House.
SHOWS LASTING
QUALITIES OF PINE

Superintendent A. A.. Wood of the
Libby schools Is In receipt Of an in
tere9ting souvenir sent to him by the
National Lumber Manufacturers asso.
citation, Washington, D. C. It Ii q
small block Of pine wood taken from
the roof Of the White House when
that famous building WAS repaired in
1877. The remarkable thing shout the
souvenir Is that this pine lumber A.
tor f12 years Of service in the White
House roof II in practically as per-
feet condition As the day the roof was
constructed. 1t Is Z fine example of
the lasting qualities of good pine
lumber.
Following the burning Of the White
House by British soldiers in 1914 a
new roof was put on the structure at
which time this pine lumber went into
the building. That was in President
Madison's administration, 112 years
previous to the recent reconstruction
of the White House.
The lumberman's association sends
leaflet with the souvenir which gives
very interesting information. 1t reads,
in part, as follows:
In a storehouse of the Office of
Public Buildings and Public Parks in
Washington, is an ancient wooden roof
truss-just old timber until you know
its history.
But as soon as 1t. Col. Grant III,
chief of the office, can find suitable
place to house the truss it will come
forth proudly from the old lumber
pile and be exhibited as one of the
nations historic relics.
The truss is one Of those removed
from the roof Of the White House in
the renovation of the mansion now
nearing completion. After literally
holding the roof over the heads Of the,
presidents of the United States for
the last liz years, these trusses are
in excellent conditions rs far as the
wood is concerned, and half section
of SAAaaniA be preserved not only for
it's historical association but A. an ex-
ample Of the remarkable durability Of
wood. Twentysix presidents have
lived in the White House since the
trusses were put in place.
In 1874, after the Battle of Bladens-
burg, the British soldiers with their
flaming torches, came thronging up
Pennsylvania Avenue and burned the
White House, the fire destroying the
and seriously damaging some
of the masonry. President Madison
and his famous wife, Dolly, made a

Much Travel Over Gateway Bridge.


County Commissioners J. w. Mile
gan, while in Libby the first of the
week attending the regular monthly
meeting Of the county commissioners,
had signs printed notifying the public
Of weight limit to loads going over
the Gateway bridge. The limit has
been placed at 10 tons. Mr. Millegan
says there is great amount Of traf-
fic over the bridge, about 200 passing
over daily. Some of the loads of logs
are very heavy; in fact, too heavy. A
load of from Is to Is tons is COM
mon and one ambitious logger told
Mr.. Millegan he was planning on buy
ing large "cat" tractor and equip
ping it with two trailers for logging.
The result would have been a load
on the bridge Of over DO tons-all on
one span at time Mr.. Millegan adj
vised him that before he bought the
new tractor, he should realize that
such load would not be allowed to
cross the bridge.
