Much Work For The
County Snow Pillow

The snow pillow recently purchased
BY County Commissioner Brink has
been doing good work this week, fol-
lowing the heavy snow storm. The
road was plowed out to the highway
camp on Cedar creek and yesterday
Supervisor Smith started for the Flat
head county line over the Libby-Kal-
ispell highway Reports are that there
Is about three feet of snow in parts
of the Fisher river district with
crust of about an inch of ice formed
over part of it.
Pete Detjens, mail stage driver on
the Manicke route, was unable to
reach the end Of the route Tuesday
and was obliged to turn back to town
Wednesday. He used horses at the far
end of the route but the crust was
so heavy that it was cutting them
and he deemed it necessary to wait
until the snow pillow could open the
road.
Commissioner Brink says that mail
routes must be opened first. After
that is done the road to the logging
camp will be opened, as will other
roads in this section. Notwithstand-
ing reports to the contrary, the road
to the Glacier Silver-Lead mine has
not yet been plowed out, although that
work will be done after more import
ant roads are opened
1t is understood that County Com
missioners Monio and Millegan also
have plows opening the highways in
the Troy and Eureka sections.

Car Goes Off Troy-Libby Road.

Fl. O'Brien, driving an Essex coach,
went off the Troy-Libby road Sunday
night short distance west of Ma
honey springs. The car rolled down
into the canyon some $50 feet, turning
over four or five times. OBrien mir
aculously escaped with almost no in
juries but the car was practically
destroyed. O'Brien suffered a cut on
one thumb and slight injury to his
back but was able to extricate him.
self from the wreckage and start to
town when he was overtaken by an
other car and brought into the city.
O'Brien stated his car got into a rut
too close Ito the wall Of the canyon
and he turned the wheel to get out
of the rut when something evidently
went wrong with the steering gear as
he could not control the car and it
went over the precipice.
O'Brien has relatives at Warland
and Rexford and he went on to War
land Monday.

Year Record
For Dryness
One half of Normal Pre-
cipitation Has Fallen
in 1929
ONLY 8.19 INCHES;
AVERAGE rs 1880

Less precipitation has fallen this
year in this section than in any pre-
vious year for the past Is years, &C.
cording to information given out by
Supervisor F. ]. Jefferson of the Koo-
tenai national forest. A comparison of
weather records in the local forest Of
flee gives this information.
The normal precipitation in the Lib
by district il 1880 inches, while SO
far this year 1t has been only 8.19
inches, or only = trifle more than one
half OF the normal. This comparison
WAS made Tuesday and while there
were yet Il. days to round out the
year, yet 1t is believed the additional
precipitation in that time will not
amount to great deal. The moisture
precipitation in the present heavy
snow storm amounted to 10 inkhes
up to Tuesdays report. From jan
uary to the present storm precipi-
tation was a little more than six
inches.
The next driest year in the Is years
period was last year, 1928, when the
precipitation was only 1896 inches.
That has given two dry years in sue
cession and the outlook for next sea-
son is not promising. Moisture content
of the soil throughout the forested
and farming areas must be low, and
those who are concerned with pro-
tecting the forests from fire ard in
farming are wondering what condi-
lions will be between now and next
years fire season and the crop grow
ing period.
The year Of 1922 was the next
driest IL months, with an even 13l
inches of precipitation. An unusually
wet year was 1923, with heavy precip-
itation throughout the entire year.

Charged with Selling
Liquor To Minors

E. M. Bitterman was arrested Fri
day on charge Of having sold liquor
to minors. He was taken before JUS
tice Of the Peace Haigler, when he
waived examination and was bound
over to district court under $1,000
bonds. He furnished the bonds later
and was released pending his trial
in district court.
Previous to Bitterman's arrest,
James Wade, a young man who is a
recent conner here from Iowa, was
arrested on a similar charge of hav-
ing sold liquor to minors. Wade was
arrested on November %, following
the examination by the officers of a
number Of young men of the city, all
OF them minors, who, it is alleged,
were drunk at public gathering.
Wade also waived examination and
was bound over to district court. Fail
ing to provide bond, he is being held
in the county Jail. Wade is also a
minor.
County Attorney Herbert has been
active in gathering evidence in these
cases and has number of
affidavits on file sworn to by the
young men involved that make a pile
Of manuscript half an inch or an
inch thick. 1t was following the TAX
ing of these affidavits and an affi-
davit by Wade that Bitterman was
arrested, number of the affidavits
stating that liquor procured by the
minors was bought of him.
One of the affidavit states that three
young men had six quarts of beer
which they drank, the beer having
been obtained from the home of one
Of the boys where it had been made
by the boys mother.

their costumes and make-up-above
all their perfect revsTence-made this
pageant lovely thing.
The musical numbers of old ia
miliar carols were sung by Mrs Owl
nellie, who was in fine voice. She was
accompanied at the piano by Miss
Morefield and by Miss Hostetter on
the violin.
The part of Mary was taken by

good. The three kings were Kenneth
Karnes, George Sanders, Harold Mar

night before Christmas.

Will Have Many Basketball Teams.

Prospects are bright for num-
Der of basketball teams in Libby this
winter. In addition to the high school
team, there will be town team, De
Molay team and one from the Method
lst Sunday school
Arrangements have been made
whereby the high schoolsgym can be
had. The teams will stand the ex-
pense of placing grill gates in the
stalrways leading from the gym to
other parts of the school building.
This will prevent users o. the gym
from having access to other parts of
the building, privilege that has been
abused now and then.
The town team will have schedule
of games as will also the BeMoiay
team. One of the games will probably
be between the De Molay teams Of
Libby and Kalispell.

Advice to Girls

DEAR ANNIE LAURIE:
About six months ago I met a
young man about e years old. I
have been going out with him about
twice a week. and he has always
treated me like q sister and not like
a sweetheart. A couple Of days ago
my girl friend said that she heard
he was married and had q family.
I asked him last night and he ad-
mitted ii. He said they had not
lived together for five years, al
though he supports the family. He
cannot see why there Is any harm
in u going out together. He tells
he loves me and il I give him
him up he will start drinking. I'm
I wouldn't want him to do that,
but I have my reputation to think
Of. What shall I 90? PAL.
Pal: He's a very selfish man. in
deed, TO want TO jeopardize your
good name by going oft with him.
For al that he is married and even
though he isn't living with his wife.
he is still legally her husband. Drop
him, my dear. and don't worry about
his threats. The people who make
threats are seldom the ones who
see 1t through. So don't worry your
head about it, but refuse TO see him.
