Increase Value of Farm
Timber by Cutting Plan

cutting of farm timber should
take only the trees most profitable
for lumber and those that should come
out for Improvement of the stand. 1t
should leave standing. for cutting
some years later. well-thinned stand
of rapidly-growing poles" and sap
lings.
Not all of the profit from the farm
woods comes from the care and pro-
lection bestowed upon it during the
growth of the trees. A very apprecia-
BILE share of the profit comes from the
manner in which the crop of timber
is cut.
The total value of the lumber in a
26-inch tree is SO times that Of the
lumber in a 9-inch tree, although the
volume is only 10 times as great.

Little Orchard Work

An orchard plot giving the names OF

may be even necessary to place
around them an Enclosure that will

Sees Bright Future
For Troy Mines

"A brief inspection of few of the
many mining properties in the region
of Troy has impressed me favorably, =
says E. D. Kinney Of the University
of Kansas in letter to P. ]. Frei-
singer, druggist of Troy.
"A large amount of high grade
ore, mostly lead-silver, containing
varying amounts Of zinc and copper,
has been developed at widely scattered
points along vein system striking
consistently in a northwest t-southeast
direction throughout the district" Mr..
Kinney continues.
Improved metaIlurgical practice,
including differential flbtation and
the electrolytical zinc process, make
the ore readily amendable to treat
ment. An abundance of ore, with
timber, water and potential power re-
sources, indicate an increase in min
ing activity is due in the district in
the near future"

erhaeuser Lumber company in his in
spection of the region about Troy.

Libby Football Team
Defeats Eureka 19-0

Libby defeated weak Eureka team
on the Eureka field last Saturday by
score of 1910. All of the scoring was
dcne in the first half. Woody Williams
made the first touchdowns and Albert
Peterson made the last one and the
try for point. The scores came as the
results Of long end runs especially
made by Albert Peterson and also by
the good work Of Clarence Baker at
guard.
Libby completely outclassed the
green Eureka team, and would un-
toubtedly have scored more if the Eu-
reka team had played in their posi-
tions rather than not shifting to meet
the Libby formations.
The first touchdown WIS scored on

and made large opening for him to
run through and six points were ac-
credited to Libby.

fensive and the whole last half they

Still Working
For Better
Mail Service
Ranchers Arrange For Joint
Meeting Libby and Kalis-
pell Organizations.
TO BE HELD AT
HAPPY'S INN OCT. 8

c. e. Gilbertson, rancher of McGin-
MS Meadows, appeared before a meet
ing OF the board of directors of the
Libby Commercial club Saturday and
extended an invitation to the mem
bers of the board, to the business and
professional men of Libby and their
wives to dinner and meeting to be
held at Happy's Inn Tuesday evening.
October 8. Also present WI be SINH
lar delegations from Kalispell, tho
Libby and Kalispell people to ba
guests of the ranchers living in the
territory between Libby and Marion.
The object of the meeting is to dis
cuss and arrive at some plan, if it il
possible, to obtain better mail servics
for that district. The ranchers de-
sire daily mail service-one day from
Libby to Marion, and the other day,
from Marion to Libby. Present serv-
ice is from Kalispell to Marion from
Marion to Yaak, and Libby to Elk
Park An application for the better
service was recently refused by tho
postoffice department on the grounds
that the. cost would be excessive con-
sidering the small number to ba
served. The ranchers feel that the de-
partment is not in possession of tho
exact facts regarding the matter and
that the cost would be very little, II
any, more than at present. The new
service would eliminate a postoffice
1t Manlcke and at Yaak and mail
driver from Marion to Yaak, the cost
Of which, added to the desired serv-
ice, would not make it much moro
than the present cost Of the twice-a-
week service from Libby to Elk Park,
| it is argued.
These are matters that are to BE-
discussed at the meeting. Inas-
much as both Libby and Kalispeu
are interested in the service this
district obtains, the ranchers have ex-
tended the invitation to both commu-
mites to the meeting.
! Other Matters Discussed.
The Libby board of directors in
structed Secretary Veldman to MAXI
application to the government for I
continuation of the topographic and
geologic survey of this district next
summer. The topographic work was
finished this fall in the Troy district.
IT IS understood, and it was intimated
that another quadrangle including tho
Fisher river district would be worked
out next year if proper application il
made for the survey. This is highly
important to the continued develop
ment of the mining industry in this
district and it is hoped to have both
topographic and geologic surveys
made here next season.

City Is Sustained

In district court Monday Judge c.
W. Pomeroy handed down decisions
sustaining in every particular the eff

their campaign to improve sanitary
and health conditions in the city. The
temporary injunction restraining W.
+. Kienitz as mayor and H. L. Green
as chief of police, from arresting per-
sons selling unpasteurized milk with
in the city was dissolved. The temper
ary injunction had been granted upon
the petition of Marian Oneal and
George Crotteau.
In the two cases of the City of
Libby vs. l.. S. Hewitt and the City
of Libby VS.. Helen Crotteau, the de-
PENDANTS were both found guilty and
each were fined $1.OO. These were
in the nature of test cases to deter
mine the legality of the city ordinance
requiring the pasteurization OF milk
and had been appealed from justice
court. The action Of the court in these
cases, as well as in the injunction mat
ter, sustains the legality OF the milk
ordinance. 1t Is understood city Of
ficials now plan to proceed at once
with the remainder of the program
for better health and sanitary condi-
tions locally.
