mother" said one. You can have a
room at my house and onc at Gracc's
and you can spend your time between
our homes as you will.
And We will call in the second
hand man to dispose Of all this heavy,
old furniture. You won't need it any
more. I should think you would be
glad to see the last Of this heavy black
walnut stuff. that needs a truckman
to move And these old carpets-at
u homes YOU will have nice clean
hardwood floors and rugs"
And SO they went on. And between
them. they completely transplanted
the old mother from the possessions
of a lifetime, quite disregarding the
Leartbreaking appeal Of her agonized
face. The daughters meant we'll. and
thought they were being sensible in
dealing with a sentimental old lady.
They could not. Or would net. real
lie that that black walnut furniture
had been bought piece by piece in a
day when they represented the sta
bility and beauty every housewife
craved. 1t had been saved for,

LOVE OF OLD THINGS
Some people have a definite attach
ment for things as well as for peo-
pie. An old rocker in which a mother
has rocked her babies one by one,
and that has stood in a certain spot
for years. is something more than just
wood and cane
This old sense of association is dy-
ing out III this fast age, when We
move into a new apartment often,
rent our homes. and refurllish every
few years. Maybe the time is not far
ahead. when We will buy our furni-
ture. as we do our cars, and turn back
the old models each ycar-but I hate
to see it come.

Making Fine Saving at
Glacier Slver-Lead Mill

"The new mill is operating in great
shape now and we are working three
shifts day in it," said V. w. Well
er and John Johnson speaking the
first of the week in regard to the
new concentrating mill at the Gla-
cier Silver Lead company mine. I'VE
are making a wonderful saving of
the values and it is a pleasure to
see the new mill in operation. The
zinc we are saving is about the high
est in quality of any produced in
the country, we are told.D
With the mill on a 24-hour basis
the company will probably be MAX

Calgary Investors
Interested IN zOnolite

A party Of men from Calgary, B.
G., were in Libby the first Of the
week going over The Zonolite Com
pany plant and mine. They are stock
holders in the company and went
away more than pleased with what
they saw and learned in regard to the
company's future. I'm the party were
A. G. Johnson, S. E. Beveridge, Geo.
H. Scott and George Elliott.
Mr.. Johnson stepped into the West
ern News office, left years SUBJ
scription with us and spoke most am
phatically Of us satisfaction that he
is stakeholder in the company.
"Zonolite will make Libby" he said,
1T is most marvellous mineral and
no one can imagine the extent to
which this industry will develop.
Every day they are finding new uses
for 1t and the demand for it is now
greater than can be supplied. We are
working up some business in Canada
for it, and four carloads have al
ready been sold in Winnipeg"
Mr.. johnson stated that he and
other Calgary men, plan to establish a
roasting or treating plant at Cal
gary about the first Of the year,
where they will shipathe raw Zonolite,
treat it and grind it to the various
meshes desired by the trade. This
is done to save the duty on the fin
ished Zonolite which, Johnson said,
IS 171a per cent.

Forces Tourist To
Put Out Camp Fire

This paper has just heard of most
commendable action taken by a Lib
by citizen in helping to enforce rules
to lessen forest fires. On the Fourth
he drove into enc Of the lakes near
Happy's Inn just as an Idaho tour
ist was leaving. The Libby man no.
ticed the stranger was departing with
out doing anything to extinguish his
campfire, leaving it burning full blast.
Whereupon he took after the stranger,
stopped him, referred to the fire and
told him to go back and put it out or
take the consequences. The Idaho man
was inclined to argue the matter but
later was convinced the wiser policy
was to do as he was told to, which he
did. While he was so doing, he was
given well deserved lecture on the
criminality and baseness of leaving
fires to destroy the timber wealth of
the country.
The Libby citizen, Ivan Rogers,
should be commended. Our timber is
a common heritage and careless peo-
pie should not be allowed to burn it
up.

LONG HIKING TRIP MADE
BY MINNEAPOLIS GIRLS

Three girls, claiming to be nurses in
Minneapolis hospitals, came through
this section last Friday on their way
to Seattle, the entire distance being
made on foot. According to their story
they had refused all offers of rides,
the most Of which have been made in
Montana. They left Minneapolis the
first Of May.
The girls were prepared to camp
anywhere night overlook them. One
carried frying pans, tin plates and
the other necessaries to set their ta-
Bile and cook their meals. Another
carried the blankets and toilet arti-
cles, while the third, husky girl,
carried the canteen and the edibles.
Tanned to the color Of the native
red man who first roamed these parts,
the girls looked to be in the picture of
health. They wore knickers and high
top boots. None wore hats and they
carried no coats except athletic
sweaters which would not interfere In
any way with the carrying of the
packs.
When told the distance to Spokane,
they said it was about six-day
hike. as they had been making on an
average Of 35 to 40 miles a day since
they started out. They spent two days

stopped the Mill 3-2 last Thursday,
in game that went two extra inn

With the Mill safely esconed on a

things tied up. The mill failed to
count in the sixth and seventh. Lewis
started things in the last of the sew
enth by tanning Baker and Christie.
Bockman then hit for two bases and
scored when Gooselaw was safe at
first because Of bad throw from
short.
Patt, for the winners, struck out
ten and Lewis famed eight. The Mil

Fire Burns
Over 16OACreS
Young Timber
Was Brought Under Control
Tuesday-Caused BY
Lightning.
IS MEN RUSHED
INTO ACTION

A forest fire that was started b,
lightning Friday night at Gieger LAKE
south of Libby was under contro
Tuesday, when the workers succeeded
in getting the fire lines around it
after the fire had burned over 16(
acres.
A shower that came with the light
ming dampened things so that smoke
from the blaze was not seen by ths
look-outs until Saturday morning
Within short time thereafter Il
men were combating it, the fire Gov
ering only about half acre at that
time, states Forest Supervisor F. J
Jefferson. A strong wind, however
made it impossible to hold the blaze
and within two hours it. had spread
over 60 acres. Twenty-Five men from,
Spokane were rushed in Sunday by
two busses, and by Tuesday there
were 90 men and three pump out
fits fighting the fire.
All supplies and pack horses were
trucked to within a short distance of
the fire, which saved day and half
stated Mr.. Jefferson, in getting the
men and horses onto the Job, and
was valuable time saved in fighting
the fire before it could get hopelessly
beyond control.
The fire started in and was con-
fined to the old burn of the 1910
fire, and did no particular damage ex-
cept to young growth. 1t is said there
is quite a good stand of white pine in
the second growth in that district.
A fire is reported on the Yaak river
six miles from the Canadian line, COW
ering 25 acres and spreading. Twenty
five men from the Canadian Pacific
are fighting the fire, and an addition
al 25 will be here from Spokane in the
morning. An airplane will arrive this
afternoon, by request of Supervisor
jefferson, to scout over the fire, he
not being able to phone to it.
From now covering a period of
about 25 days we are right in the
peak of the fire danger" stated Mr..
Jefferson. "This is the driest year
tn this district since Iscame here and
the fire hazard is consequently great.
So far we have been fortunate. We
have had few fires, all Of them small,
with the exception Of the Geiger lake
fire. Fifteen of these have been pre-
ventable fires, man caused by care
lessness with camp fires and ciga-
rettes. Sixteen Of the fires have been

Rambling Impressions Of a Motor Trip
BY THE EDITOR.

Continued from last week.
y To the tourist who keeps his eyes
open there are numberless little sights
and incidents that lend interest to the
trip.
When we began to get into the
country in eastern Montana and North
Dakota where rattlesnakes are more
or less common, Mrs. Rowe began to
express the wish to see live rattle
snake out in the wild, something we
had never seen.
We saw one. 1t came about this
way.
After slithering and slipping
through the II miles Of mud about
which we formerly wrote, we failed
TO make our objective that night,
Dickinson, N. D. Not wishing to drive
late that evening, we inquired when
we drove into Medora, N. D., if they
had a hotel there where one would
care to stop. They directed ns to
what is called Buddy Camp about
a mile and half out from the village.
This is a pleasant place with cabins, a
large log dining room and another
large log living room somewhat SIM
liar to the common tourist camp ex-
cept that they do not solicit tourist
patronage to any extent. Instead,
their business consists in inducing
parties Of young wealthy lads
from Chicago and other cities---to
spend few weeks there during the
summer. While we we're there the
proprietor was in Chicago to bring
out such a party.
Following our nights lodging, our
breakfast was served by young high
school girl from Glendive who
worked there, she said, each sum-
mer. In conversation with Mrs. Rowe
she told how the boys from the cit
les would come out Ito ride the hills
with the cowboys, get a touch OF west
ern life, hunt rattlesnakes, and
"Are there a lot of rattlesnakes
here?' broke in Mrs. Rowe.
"Oh, yes replied the young wait
ress. "there are quite lot Of them.
O, | haven't seen any around the
cabins lately but the boys find a
lot Of them. They kill them and
skin them and take the skins home

Writes More About
Death Valley Slotty

Oscar v. Miller, E. M, we'll knowr
mining man of Libby, writes the
Western News that Death Vale,
iScotty is stopping at Miller's cabir
on Fisher creek. Mr.. Miller writes in
terestingly Of that famous character
as follows:
w. A. Scott, better known as
Death Vallev Scotty," is staying at
my West Fisher cabin and looking
over mining properties with me. He
intends to stay here for some time
A greater character never lived. He
is rs years iyoung} and can climb
over the mountains like young man
Every mining man knows of his
astonishing past doings, of his fast
trip ION a hired special train in 1906
from Los Angeles to New York, a
speed record not yet beaten; of his
shipping OF one ton of ore he got
odt of Death Valley netting him close
to a million dollars; of his battle with
l6 bandits end lone handed killed all
but five; how he spent five years in
the hospital recuperating from his
wounds. His secret and mysterious
TRIPS INTO Death Valley and returning
always loaded down with hundreds of
thousands Of dollars in gold each re-
turn.
The hands of the Terrible, Cruel
Desert" and Death Valley have left
their marks on him, which anyone
can plainly see. His soft, low and
kind voice plainly reveals to those
who understand life in the silent, open
of Gods country, that he is a man
who understands nature and loves it
for the returns it gave him.
Why he has journeyed away from
that land where God forgot to leave
wood and water is mystery, only
known to "Scctty" Probably it is the
lure Of the adventures that surround
the guest Of gold or more fitting, it
may be that he loves to enjoy the
abundance of Lincoln county's min
eral, timber, water, fish, game and
beautiful scenery.
Libby should feel honored to have
such world famous prospector as its
guest, whose stories Of his past are
worth listening to.

the summit during that time.
This is a new kind Of tourist for the
people of this country to see. 1t could
not be learned whether or not the
hike was being made on wager, but
the girls seemed to be enjoying every
minute Of the vacation. Along the way
since they entered Montana they said
that people living in the country have
offered them beds for the night, rides
and meals, all of which they refused.

| Driving on q mile or two we say
tourist family that had stopped an
had got out of the car. The fathe
was taking pictures. Three or fou
little children had wandered off SOM
two or three hundred v Ids TOWARD
some pretty hills. It was an idea
place for rattlesnakes and it made u.
shudder to think of the chances those
parents and children were taking. VIZ
Thought here's another occasion to jo
down another big mark for the Libby
country, where one can roam through
! the mountains to ones hearts conten,
with never a thought of a poisonous
snake.
Returning through that same coun
try Mrs. Rowe again expressed de-
sire to see. a rattlesnake, and so to
be accommodating i remarked one
day, well, there's your rattlesnake.
II had seen one crawling across the
sunbaked road short distance ahead
Of us. | had sped by several yards be-
fore | could stop the car. "Shall !
back up so you can see it better?'
| said. "Well, yes replied my COM
panion, "but let's be sure the win
dows are all closed" She wasn't TAX
ing any chances on having that snake
as a travelling companion.
Another thing the traveller enjoys
or at least some travellers do-are
the wild flowers along the way. Com
ing home through the more semi-arid
sections of Montana we noticed the
beautiful blossoms of the cactus
along the highway, thousands Of them.
We picked few, of a striking lemon
color with centers stroked with dashes
Of red, waxlike in appearance. An
other blossom that attracted our at
tention in the same district was the
Spanish bayonet. This plant has a
slim. sword like leaf, growing in a
cluster close to the ground, with a
sharp spike on the end Of each leaf.
A stalk rises about two feet high
from the center, lined on all sides
with lovely yellow blossoms. These
bloom at night, we were told, and
must be beautiful. In Yellowstone
park we drove through acres of blue
Porget-me- nets on the top Of the
