Discussion.
RESOLUTION SENT

The County Commissioners of Lin
coin County met on Monday with rep
resentatives of the Fortine, Eureka,
Whitefish, Troy and Libby CONNER
cial clubs, to discuss an important
highway question.
The honorable J. M. Moss of White
fish, speaker fthe house, and chair
man of the Roosevelt. highway as
sociation, addressed the meeting in
the interests Of the Libby Eureka sec
ton of the Roosevelt highway being
included in the seven percent system.
He explained that the government
gives aid to seven per cent of the
highways in every state, and that
Montana has yet some five hundred
miles available for allotment under
this seven percent system. 1t is OF
vital Importance to Lincoln county
and this district that the sixty-five
miles of road designated as the Lib
by-Euureka section Of the Roosevelt
Highway be placed on the system at
this time. This will be the only op-
portunity for this road to be beni-
fitted by the system, and no highway
is eligible to participate in the allot-
men of state highway funds or fed
eral aid money unless it is part OF
the seven percent system.
The state of Montana bears pro-
portion of Sd per cent and the gov
ernment 46 percent, in the aid ex-
tended. If the Libby Eureka section
of highway is marked as being under
the seven percent system. at this
time, it will be eligible for funds as
fast as they become available for
highway extention work.
Allotments will be made at the
joint meeting of the State Highway
commission and Bureau Of Public
Roads at Helena, June n, 28 and %

Death Comes
Suddenly to
Tim Norton
Leigh Greek Pioneer County
Resident for Over Twenty
Years.
RAILROAD MAN
AND PROSPECTOR

Timothy j. Norton, 40 years of age,
and a resident of the country for rs
years, passed away last Thursday af-
ternoon at his ranch on Leigh creek
and Snow Shoe He was thought to
be recovering from a serious illness
Of flu and complications, and had
been discharged a few days before
from the Libby hospital. An old COM
rade, George Reynolds, was caring
for him, and was with him when he
died.
Norton came to the Libby district
about 1903 and had spent most Of
his time in prospecting and opening
claims. He homesteaded on Leigh
creek and lived there for 25 years
Prior to coming here he was en-
ployed as fireman on the Great
Northern railway out of Havre. The
loss of an eye in train wreck
caused him to leave that vocation. He
devoted his spare time to civil en-
gineering and was well read on many
subjects of a general nature.
Mr. Norton was a familiar figure
among Libby pioneers, but little was
known Of his early life. Upon his
death Coroner Gompf investigated
hospital records and found that he
had stated thereon that he had been
born in New Hampton, Iowa, and had
people there. Mr.. Gompf Immediately
wired the chief of police of that place,
who got in touch with relatives Of
the deceased. 1t was the first word
to be received of him by his family
since 1902, and they had mourned him
as dead for the past 20 years. Two
sisters came to Libby at once, and
made funeral arrangements. They are
Mrs. Martin Lewis Of Mason City
Iowa, and Mrs r. w Harbaugh, Of
Chicago. Another sister, Mrs. +. f.
Sullivan of Los Angeles, and brother
Edward t. Norton of Speerfish, North
Dakota, also survive Norton was un-
married.
Funeral services were held this af-
ternoon at 2:30 o'clock from the
Gompf chapel, with Ben Maiden de.
livering the funeral oration. Buria
was made in the Libby cemetery.
A detailed obituary, prepared by The
sisters, will appear in this paper next
week

Oppose Grain Freight Reduction.

Washington Declarlng western
trunk line railroads have low rates
and low. earnings, P. F. Gault, COM
merce attorney of the Chicago d
Northwestern system, today opposed
before the interstate commerce COM
mission any reduction in freight rates
on grain and grain products.
Carriers are not making fair re-
turp on their investments" he said,
"and there should not be any reduc-
tion in their present revenues"
He appeared before the commission
in it's investigation Of grain rates as
farm relief meausre as directed by
the Hoch-Smith resolution passed by
congress.
Any reduction in grain rates, he
said, would deprive the railroads OF
part of their income which now is
less than 5 3-4 per cent, which the
commission has decided is reason
able return.
Explaining that rates in the west
ern trunk line territories are lower
than in other sections, he said this
had been caused largely by competi-
ton with Canadian railroads and with
traffic on the Great Lakes.-Lewis-

Fires Held to Small
PartNatiOnalFOr

Forest fires during the last five
years on the National Forests were
held down for the entire period to
about one and one-half per cent Of
the total National Forest area, the
Forest Service, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, announced
to-day.
For the period 1924-1928, inclusive
the average area burned over each
year was 570,765 acres,-an average
of 0.311 per cent of the total Nation
al Forest area,-according to COM
pilation of fire data just completed
by the Forest Service
The California District, afflicted
by three bad fire years during the
period, suffered the heaviest losses
with an average of 1083 per cent OF
its National Forest area burned over
each year. The Eastern District came
next with an average annual loss
of O.867 per cent. Fire damage was
proportionately smallest in the Alaska
District, where the area burned over
averaged only 0.014 per cent of the
National Forest area for the five
year period
Not since 1919 has the area burned
| by forest fires on the National For
ests exceeded one per cent of the to-
tai area. That year was marked by
exceptional bad fire conditions in the
northern Rocky Mountain region. The
worst fire year in the history of the
| National Forests was 1910, when fire
swept over some 4,947000 acres OF
| National Forest land, or more than
212 per cent of the total area.
While the Forest Service is con-
stantly improving its protective sys-
tenn on the National Forest. the dam
ger of fire also is increasing With
the increased amount of motor travel
and camping on the Forests con-
stant vigil and an alert organization
for the suppression of fires is re-
quired Of oFrest officers. Care and
4 cooperation on the part Of the local
public in any forest region can go
very far toward preventing serious
loss or disaster.

Urges Response to
Red Cross Needs

Donations for the Red Cross, to aid
in the Wibaux flood rehabilitation,
are very slow in coming in, according
to Mrs. John Peay, chairman Of the
local chapter. This is very worthy
and needy cause, and Libby's quota
Of 5000 is small in comparison to the
amounts asked for some communities.
Troy chapter has responded with a
donation of $25.
1t is hoped that everyone will give
according to his ability. Donations will
be received at the Kootenai Mere, the
Electric Store, and the two banks.
Bring in, orr mail in, your contribu-
tions, at your earliest convenience.
People who have not been involved in
a flood disaster have little realiza-
tion of the obstacles which confront
rehabilitation.
The receding waters left slime and
silt over the entire town, in some
places even on the second stories of
homes and business houses. Work is
going slowly because of the frequent
rains, which make it necessary to
bring in furniture and stocks from

could be more beautiful on rather
misty morning than the glistening
wet green leaves and banks of pink
wild roses on every side?
Mrs. A. C. Herbst acted as chair
man of the program and introduced
the speakers in her capable way.
Mr. R. B. Bowden of Missoula, the
inspirational speaker Of the day, took
the stand and in his genial way drew
from the crowd hearty peals Of laugh
ter and songs of cheer.
