EMIGRATION OF IRISH
 TO AMERICA SLOWER
Steady Decline Shown by Figures 1929 Total Was 5000 Short of
 Quota Allowed by Law

Dublin. Dec 20, (P}-Thc rate of emigration from the Free State to the United States is steadily dcclin- ing.
 For the year ended June 1929. there were 5000 fewer emigrants than the quota allowed. In July or this year the quota was reduced to 17,OO0, and the figures for the suc- ceeding months show that even this exceeds the number of emigrants.
 The number of visas granted dropped 10 two hundred below the quota estimated for each month. Even if every applicant were passed the quota would not be filled.
 The American Consul General in Dublin, Cornelius Ferris, stated that lately intending emigrants have been of a lower type, and he has rejected many for physical de- fects or illitcraCy.
 He suggested that the reason for 8 lower type of applicant is that able-bodiod men are able now to make decent living at home.

BRITISH PRISONS ALLOW NO SMOKING
British Mystery Writer Sur
 prised on Sing Sing Visit

London, Dec. 20. >(P}-Edgar Wal lace, the writer of mystery thrillers. got one of the biggest surprises Of his life when he visited Sing Sing prison in New York and saw convicts smoking cigars.
 "Convicts and Warders in a great American prison are just boys to- gcther," he told the ships news re- portcrs on his return here. 'The prisoners come out in the exercise yard smoking cigars and doing much as they like"
 To an EngIishman who knows his prisons this is indeed a surprising confirmation of the tales told of "coddling" convicts in America For in England judge takes away more than @ mans liberty when he sentences him to prison he takes away his cigarets, his cigars, his pipe and his chewing tobacco.

Truth Telling and Use Of Hand-

St. Louis, Mo. Dec. 20 (UP)- Parents were astonished and chil- dren dismayed when the 1400 school children of kirkwood were present. with their report cards.

Total Of Lincoln County
Property, Not Including
Railroads.
rs $4OO,0 ,0OO LESS
THAN LAST YEAR

According to the assessment rolls
recently completed by County Asses
sor ]. d. Weir, the assessed valuation
of property in Lincoln county for
1929 totals s10,828, 100000 This does
not include railroad valuations, as
the railroad assessing is done by the
state railroad commission and the
figures are not yet available. This
total will also probably be increased
some forty to fifty thousand dollars,
said Assessor Weir, by additions Of
assessments made later.
Automobiles III the county number
1141 valued at s265, ,235.00. There are
100 trucks valued at S62,59O. 90; 1864
horses assessed at S47,625.0O; 3444
cattle valued at s128.365. 90. 300 hogs,

tai sS,268, 765.00; all livestock, $780,
10000; all personal property other
than livestock, $2,369710.O0.
The total assessed valuation is
about 100000 less than last year,
said Weir, due to the loss of the
Troy sawmill, the cutting Of timber
and other property denletion.

Gas Again Stolen
From Fire Trucks

While the fire department was re-
turning from the fire Monday one of
the trucks stopped on the way back
to the fire hall and it was found that
1t was out Of gas. Someone had
again stolen gas from the truck. The
trucks are always examined as to
gas supply each time they are re-
turned to the hall after a run so as
to be sure they will be ready for in
stant operation in case of fire.
This paper has remarked before as
to the low-down, yellow character OF
any individual that would steal gas
from fire truck and thereby en-
danger the property of the community
and the homes Of its citizens. Beyond
question such an.individual is SO lack
ing in decency that it will do no good
to tell him how yellow and contemp-
tible he is. "Just let us catch him and
we will hang him to the first avail
able post" said Fire Chief Hoffman
and his assistant chief, e. M. Boyes
Chief Hoffman remarked that if the
Monday fire had been as far out as
South Libby one of the trucks would
have suddenly stopped before reach
ing the fire because of the gas hav-
ing been stolen--a nice condition of
appalrs to contemplate.

Fires Spreading
In This District

This district has been fortunate in
escaping forest fires this season, but
during the past week they have be-
come more dangerous. The Yaak fire,
started some two weeks ago, has brok-
en- out again famed by high wind. It
has now covered about 800 acres and
reports are that it is going hard. A
force of las men are fighting it. Fif-
ty men were expected in from Spo-
kane last night for this fire. Super
s1sor Jefferson is personally direct
ing the fight on that front.
Another rather serious fire has
broken out at the head Of Big creek
and has covered about 400 acres, ae-
eording to report, although Assistant
Supervisor Dwinelle says he believes
the report must be somewhat exag-
gerated. Eighty men are battling
it. The fire was confined to the old
1910 burn but has now moved into
green timber, and has crossed the
ridge onto Bristol creek.
-Four minor fires are reported in
the Sylvanite and Yaak districts, none
of them exceeding 10 acres. Other
small or,rs are reported over the
district.

prettily decorated for the occasion. A
table prepared in tasty manner for
guests was complimented. One fea-
ture of the session was the prepara-

the direction of the instructors. Lots
were then drawn and the dinner and
salad awarded to the lucky ones, the
dinner going to Mrs. w. w. Blew and
the salad to Mrs. Fred Cloutier.

Some Object To
PaSteurized Milk

Some go to 10 people gathered FRI
day evening at Woodmen hall in re-
sponse to the notice calling a gather
ing to protest against the recent milk
ordinance enacted by the city council.
b. +. Mooney was chosen chairman
and B. r. Maiden, who has been en-
ployed as attorney by some Of the
protesting dairymen, stated the pur-
pose Of the meeting and read reso-
luton, which was later adopted, petit
tioning the city council to make GER
tain changes in the milk ordinance.
The resolution asks the council to
amend the ordinance to provide.
A strict and frequent inspection Of
all dairies selling milk in the city.
Permission to sell either raw or
pasteurized milk, with the milk bot
ties marked either raw or pasteurizod
and also marked with the name OF
the dairy producing the milk.
A number of people volunteered to
circulate copies of the petition for
signatures and that is now being done.
During the meeting Attorney Maid
en- spoke in behalf Of the resolution
saying that there was no intention to
unreasonably oppose the city council
but rather that the council ought to
be commended for their efforts to
clean up a deplorable condition here.
He said, however, that certain num-
Der Of the citizens thought the coun-
ell had taken a somewhat unwise
stand in regard to the milk matter and
that was the only thing they wished
to have changed

Man Killed In
Auto Accident

Two men from Standpoint, Ida,
while on fishing trip in the Bull
lake district near Troy, went over a
grade in their car yesterday and both
Of them were badly injured. One of
them, Jerry Courtney, later died in
Troy while he was being taken back
to Standpoint.
Details of the accident are lacking
but reports are that someone had
started to Standpoint with Courtney,
leaving the other injured man with
ranchers near Bull lake. Stopping at
Throop's garage in Troy for gas, it
was noticed that Courtney was in a
bad way and DR. English was hurried
ly called Courtney died in the car just
as the doctor reached him. It is not
known how badly the other man was
injured.

our city water supply. This is to be
taken care of in its proper order and
at proper time.
Definite information. is now being
gathered. Thus far the city council
can with the intelligent cooperation
of our citizens go, and there will be
little sickness caused by any Of the
above mentioned sources if this pro-
gram is carried out, and Libby will
then enjoy good health and reputa-
tion for cleanliness as we properly
deserve when and If we are willing
to cooperate to get these results.
There is another matter which
comes in under the same heading but
is not subject to legislation; it comes
under the head of education. That is
that all must be taught to realize that
personal habits are factor. Especial
ly is this true in regards to the house
wife who handles the food eaten by
the family. All must be cleanly in
their personal habits, especially af-
ter answering natures call because it
is through these channels of elimina-
tion that disease germs are ellmln-
ated from the bod and can so easily
be transferred to the food and there
by introduced into the system by the
very channels by which disease is of
ten produced Then also in the case
of sickness in the house, then the eff
handle the case that Disease is not
spread by contagion. This is only ar
rived at by education and willingness
of the people to each do their little
part.
Civilized progress is made thus. If
we are to step backward, why not
discard the bottle and 20 back to the
old milk bucket and dipper, etc2 Why
not go back 10 the public drinking
cup, the public towel and many other
things which might be mentioned.
The council has planned program
for the good Of the community. Bet
ter health for you and your children
If you can offer constructive criticism
it is welcome by the council. The sys.
tcmatic effort IL being made to bet
ter our condition. Join the constrHc
! ton gang, not the wrpfkinR CREW.

Outlines Health
Program For City

1t is regrettable that simply because
of a little lack Of understanding Of
the case in hand or a lack Of ability
to look into the future short dis
tance, that some of the programs
which will reflect to the good Of So
ciety as whole meet with opposi-
tion. To cite only one such instance,
the move to abolish slavery in the
early history of our country met with
obstinate resistance and required an
army to enfNrce the program. Today
we all know that to, continue with
slavery and prosper would have been
impossible. The system was wrong
and could not be productive Of last
ing benefit.
Libby has been unfortunate in that
we have, in the past many years, had
more or less regular reoccurrences of
typhoid epidemics. There is a cause.
We are unfortunate that this cause
persistently stays with us. Libby is
getting s'black eye' as result.
Visiting contestants to our field meets
bring their own water and milk to
drink, visitors refuse to come to visit
relatives and friends in some in
stances because of our record. Ap-
peals of all kinds have been made.
State health board men have been
here time and again. Dairy inspec-
tors Of the dairy department Of the
state have been here. Efforts have
been made but no results. Something
has always been lacking to produce
results. Now what?
In studying the state in which Lib
by finds itself, our present city coun-
ell after conferences with state Off
cials, study of existing conditions in
Libby and perusing Of records and
experiences of other cities, has ar
rived at program which does not
strike at one possible source or
sources but. which strikes at all likely
sources and which is so planned that
in case the desired condition of bet
ter health for Libby has not then
been attained we are in an advanta-
geous position to go further and get
results.
This program calls for the pasteur-
ization of our milk supply because
our state board of health advises US
that that is the first and most i'm
| portant step. and will very likely re-
dnce tvr-ioid bv so per cent. They
give the council many reasons for
this. Records of other cities give rea-
sons. 1t is the one food furnishing
the best culture for germs Of al
kinds, place for them to grow and
increase rapidly and it is q food al
most universally used. This with
other reasons puts pasteurization or
the health program.
Another source of sickness Is filth
| ANY unclean place or thing is very
| likely place for disease producing or.
ganism. So this puts on the program
a movement to clean up old or lily
kept toilets, cessponls and all manner
cf garbage and dumpage, and tht
connecting to the city sewer
system in some cases. It means tht
cleaning up of such places as pro
duce nauseous odors and contamnatt
the air Of the neighhorhood. II alst
provides for the providing Of a place
! for dumping Of city garbage, arrange
ments for which the city has jus
completed.
Another important Ink tand no
the least important by my maansl !

Special type and of especially heavy
construction. Since purchasing the
new and powerful tractor, it has been
seen that much heavier grader was
needed to accomplish the best re-
suits. The new machine cost $I750 and
the county was allowed $40O for the
old grader, which was considered an
exceptionally good allowance for it.
Payment for the new machine is not

Of Libby, | wish to state to the public
that Mr.. ]. Riley Of the Libby Cream
cry has never been in any way instru-
mental in putting into operation the
present pasteurization program in
Libby. The fact Is that Mr.. Riley was
not particularly in favor Of it from
business point Of view and only
ordered and installed the equipment
to help along~a a program which IL for
the ultimate good Of the people Of
Libby. Those who in any way blame
or accuse MIR. Riley of being selfish
