Phillips Here IN
Charge Of Hatchery

Mr.. and Mrs. Elmer Phillips and
baby arrived in Liby Tuesday and
have taken up residence at the fish
hatchery, which Mr.. Phillips will have
in charge this season. For a number
of years Phillips has had charge Of
the state hatchery at Somers and is
a thoroughly competent fish cultur-
ist.
Spawn for the hatchery will prob
ably not arrive before June l. as it
will probably be somewhat late this
year because Of the backward season
but the intervening time viii be en-
ployed in getting the hatchery in ship
shane condition. Eighteen new troughs
made of redwood lumber, will be in
stalled. This will increase the capaci-
ty of the plant to about 100000,
which will provide a nice number OF
fry to be distributed over LINCOLN
county.
Two new rearing ponds will be built
increasing the number to four. The
new ponds will be about twice the sizr
of the present ones.

Libby Wins Second
Game BY 81 Score

Libby and Troy fans who gathered
at the Troy baseball grounds last Sun
day saw another fine exhibition Of
ball, when the teams Of the Libby and
Troy fire departments again battled
for supremacy. Defeated by 3 to 0
score on the preceding Sunday, Lib
by was determined to win the second
game and did SO with a score OF j
to /. The two teams will meet again
in Libby next Sunday afternoon and
in view of the close games that have
been played and further considering
that each team has won game, there
ought to be a battle royal to win the
third and deciding contest. The game
next Sunday will be called at 2:30
on the Libby grounds.
Last Sunday neither team scored
until the fourth inning, when Ostroot
crossed the home plate for Libby
Troy put one man across the counter
in the sixth and Libby came back By
scoring two more in the seventh. That
ended the scoring. During the rest oi
the game, it was chiefly one, two
three and out. In the third inning
matters looked rather dnhinns fol-
Libby when Troy got three men or
bases but Scovil was able to work
out of the hole and retired the Trojans
before any had scored. On one or two
other occasions Troy threatened te
score but could not make it.
Driessen, pitching for Troy, was Q
little wild and walked five men but
aside from that threw a fine game
He had 10 strike-outs to his credit
Scovil for Libby pitched a wonder
full game and is being complimentee
by Libby fans. He walked one mar
and struck out IL Trojans. Libby got

May Proclaim Open
Season on Marten

Deputy Game Warden Dorrington
returned recently from Helena where
he attended the annual meeting Of
the state fish and game commission,
at which time meeting was also
held Of al the deputy game wardens
Of the state. Dorrington reports that
the commission acted favorably upon
the request Of Troy sportsmen to
open certain streams to fishing from
April 20 to May 20 Of each year 50
that sportsmen there might be able
to fish for the spring run of rainbow.
The streams so opened are O'Brien
creek from its mouth to the Troy city
water dam; Yaak River from its
mouth to Yaak River Falls; Star
creek from its mouth to Star creek
Falls.
Dorrington says that rainbow trout
from Kootenai lake run up into the
streams Of this district about this
time each year. After spawning they
return to the lake, where they are
caught both by sportsmer by
commercial canneries on the Canadian
side Of the boundary Rainbow trout
Matching in Lincoln county waters
will go back to Kootenai lake, that
being the nature of the fish.>I lincoln
county sportsmen are thus deprived
! Of any sport from these fish if the
season is kept closed on them dur
ing their running period. On the other
/ hand, the trout become a big asset
to Canadian sportsmen and industry
trout that are spawned and hatched
/ in Lincoln county waters. With these
conditions in mind, the state commits
sion decided to open the season on
rainbow trout in those creeks as re-
quested by Troy sportsmen.
Dorrington is Of the opinion that
the rainbows come up over Kootenal
1 falls and also spawn in creeks in the
Libby district and farther up the
river. He went out Monday to investi-
gate some of the streams farther
north and see if that is not true.
May Open Season on Marten.
