Someone Kills Elk;
Offers $50 Reward

Local sportsmen are quite incensed
over the killing of an elk since the
opening of the deer season. The car
cass of young three -year-old bull
elk was found at the end of the new
road work near Rainy creek. The
guilty culprit evidently did not kill
the elk for the meat, as he only took
the teeth, prized for watch charms.
1t is generally known that there is
q permanently closed season on elk
here, until such time as they multi
ply sufficiently to allow hunting Of
them. furthermore, the Libby Rod and
Gun club has thoroughly posted the
entire district notifying all of the
closed season and asking sportsmen
to help protect the elk. Thus it is
not probable that anyone would be
ignorant of this arrangement.
The Libby Road and Gun club
planted the elk in this district and
has standing offer of $4,000 re-
ward for information leading to the
arrest of anyone guilty of killing an
elk.

Rifle Bullet Crashes
Into Libby Kitchen

That hunters using high-power
rifles should be extremely careful
when hunting within settled districts
is the firm conviction of the Wesley
Olin family, living in the easter part
of the city. They are convinced of this
after their experience of last Fri
day morning. Evidently someone who
was hunting in the district close to
town fired shot without much con-
sideration of the direction in which
the bullet would travel.
Some time between and T o'clock
Friday morning bullet crashed into
the Olin home, passing through the
kitchen and smashing into the cup
board where it ruined pan. Fortu-
nately no one was in the kitchen at
the time or there might have been
fatal accident.
Hunters should remember that bull
lets from modern high-power rifles
will travel great distances and GER
tainly should not fire in the direction
of nearby homes.

Improvement
In ManyLocal
Highways
Consistent Work From Year
to Year Is Having
Good Results.
MUCH FAVORABLE
COMMENT rs HEARD

The remark is frequently heard
this fall that highways in this district
were never in better condition at this
time OF the year. Those who are ex-
pressing themselves as so we'll pleased
over this pleasant condition of af-
fairs state it is all the more remark
able IN view of the unusually dry
season, which has provided ideal con-
ditions for the cutting up of the high
ways and at the same time making il
difficult to do effective work in main
tenance. In this connection those who
have travelled to other parts of tho
state join in maintaining that many
other sections have roads that are no
better than those in Lincoln county.
and some of them are worse.
The good condition of the highways
hereabouts is attributed largely T.
the fact that gradually from year to
year County Commissioner Brink has
been applying gravel where needed
most badly and as funds would per-
nit. The result of this work is now
showing up in much harder and bet
ter road beds.
Commissioner Brink is still continu-
ing road improvement with funds that
are available. Recently he has wid-
ened the bad stretch between the Green
and Hathaway places north of Libby
on the T. R. highway. The narrow
places have been widened and soma
of the rock points blown out, so thxt
it is now possible for two cars 10
pass with ease, with the exception u
only a few places. Mr.. Brink says
he plans to gravel this section as soon
as funds are available from next
years budget. which will be some
time after July l.
More work that is attracting tho
attention of the travelling public h
being dane on the highway betWesn
Happy's Inn and the Flathead county
line. The road crew under Ed. Smith
is working there now and reports are
that the road is in wonderful condi-
ton Mr.. Brink has received suK-
gestion that possibly the state would
cooperate, in more work there next
year. That nart of the highway =
permanently located by state high
way survey and any work done WIZ
not be wasted.
