Standpoint, Idaho had driven here
with his family for a days outing,

Fred Carlson. He couldn't speak too
highly Of his surprise and pleasure
at the delightful appearance OF oul
city, said Carlson, and the one thing
that appealed to him most forcibly
was the oiled streets and the freedom
from dust. AT Standpoint we have
two or three paved streets and dust on
all the rest of them. The same condi-
tion exists at Bonners Ferry. Here

BACCALAUREATE SERMON.

The baccalaureate sermon last Sun
day evening at the Presbyterian
church was a very beautiful and in
structive ceremony. Rev. John Pats
spoke to the Class Of 1929 of the Lib
by High School on the Worth Of
Personality" In developing his sub
ject, Rev. Pate brought out the idoa
that personality is built up from
every influence which touches the
student-the building in which he re-
cites, the books he reads, the teachers
he has, his home life, his associates
in short, that personality is the sum
of all influences that pupil meets
He pointed out that history was mAds
through the personality of the cosn-
tfy,s leaders and held up the person
atty of the Master Teacher as the
force that had drawn people to Him
In passing, Rev. Pate paid word
of commentator 20 the faculty of ths
Libby schools, who, he said, compared
favorably with teachers that he met
in other places in the matter of ear
nestness of purpose and profession
al ethics.

Libby Wins In
! A 12-3 Game

The first ball game played this sea-
son by the Libby town team was won
Sunday when Eureka got the small
end of 1878 score. Matters looked
rather uncomfortable for Libby in the
iirst inning with Gregg pitching for
the locals With only one man down,
Eureka filled all bases and it looked
like score or two for the visitors.
Gregg frightened up, however, and
struck out two men, retiring Eureka
without score.
Libby went to bat and put across
three runs in the first inning, one
more in the third, two in the fourth,
four in the fifth and two in the sew
enth. Eureka scored twice in the third
and once in the fifth inning, the rest
Of the innings showing blanks.

Oil Is Big Success
On Libby's Streets

Residents Of Libby are enjoying
freedom from dusty streets follow
ing several applications Of oil to all
the principal streets of the city. This
treatment of the dust question has
proved most successful here and has
resulted in condition that is a de-
light to every citizen, and especially
to the housewives. One was heard to
remark recently, "How lovely it is TO
be able to leave the windows up and
not have the house filled with a fog
of dust from passing cars" That ex-
presses the conviction of every resi-
dent.
Mayor Kienitz states that three
10000 gallons ears Of oil have been
received this year and applied to the
streets. Another car will be applied in
August. This is much more than was
put on last year, when three 5000
gallon cars, or $4,000 gallons, were
applied. This year much wider ter
ritory is being given the benefit-and
one might say, the blessings-of the
oil.
Another matter that is attracting
the attention of the public is the ex.
pertinent, conducted by Mayor Kienitl
and Chief Of Police Green, of apply
ing sand along Mineral avenue ana
soaking it we'll with the oil. '"This
is just an experiment" said Kienitz.
"We were up against difficult prob
lem in street maintenance. Under the
almost constant auto traffic Libby S
streets were not standing up and each
year became badly pitted or pocketed.
There seemed no way to oyercome
this but we finally decided to try the
sand and oil treatment following ex-
periments conducted last year in a
small way. Judging from the short
time the sand ,and oil has been down,
it looks as though the experiment
would prove successful. The oiled sand
acts as dressing to the street and
readily fills pits and pockets when
graded, providing a delightful road
bed over which to drive, as all car
owners here can testify"
