Hunters Fire Into
Baker Ranch Home

Another instance of hunters shoot
ing into house has been reported
to this paper. Bob Baker states that
last Friday night two shots were
fired into his farm home, but the
structure being of logs, the bullets
did not penetrate to the interior. The
shots, he |said were fired by hunters
IN the Boothman orchard hunting
deer by spotlight, which everyone
knows is contrary to law. As lights
were burning in the Baker home,
the excuse cannot be made that the
hunters did not see they were firing
IN the direction of an occupied build
ing.
"ln reporting the incident I wish
you would state" said Baker, "that
| am licensed guide and therefore
deputy game warden of the state
and that / intend to prosecute to the
full extent of the law anyone find
hunting with spotlights, and | in
tend to make it my business to keep
watch for such violations of the
law"

LinCOlnCOuntY
Farmers Buy
State Lands
-Four Buy Tracts at Sale
Held in Libby Last
Thursday.
GROSS SUM TO
STATE rs $5387.13

At sale of state lands held at the
court house in Libby last Thursday
purchases were made by three Lincoln
county residents and bv one from
Havre. The sale was conducted by
l. M. Brandjord, of Helena, commits
sioner Of state lands and investments,
and by L. E. Choquette of Helena,
state land agent. Joe La Belle of
Rexford purchased 3043 acres at
$1,000 per acre, total of $30430;
B. E. Snyder of Rexford purchased
1O9.53 acres at $1,000 per acre, a tot
al Of s1314.36; Otto Gehre of Fortine
purchased 200 acres at $3.50 per
acre, total of $4,000, and r. O..
Mcmillan of Havre bought 67.87
acres at $1,000 an acre, total of
$678.70 All of the land lies in the
northern part of the county.
Mr.. Brandjord has recently held
state land sales in four different
counties. In Pondera county a total
of $500 acres was sold at an aver
age of $500 per acre, or gross
of s132,325; in Teton county, 1884
acres at $1,000 per acre, a gross of
P@LbtOOs iii didIiIf iodftiye Ibo1 d1lIS
at $1,000 per acre, or total of $10,-
$1,000, and in Lincoln county 207.83
at S11.00 per acre, totaling S2287.13
and 200 acres of mortgage lands at
$3.50 per acre, $4,000, or a total
for the county of s538713.
Mr.. Brandjord said the sale Of state
lands had been very satisfactory of
late and that the state is disposing
of large percentage of the lands
that came into its possession follow
ing the poor crops and hard times
in eastern Montana few years ago.
Much of this land is being repur
chased by former owners. The acreage
sold in Lincoln county last Thursday
was a larger percentage Of the total
acreage offered for sale than in any
other county in the state, said Mr..
Brandjord. He accounted for this by
the fact that there was a smaller
acreage offered for sale.

Highways Should
Not Pass Through
Heart Of Cities

In letter from R. D. RAIDER, state
highway engineer, published in last
weeks issue, reference was made to
an article in "Nada," little publica-
tion put out by the National Auto
mobile Dealers Association. This arti-
Gle states that communities no longer
desire highways to pass directly
through the business districts of a
city, and gives the reasons therefor.
In view of the fact that work is
soon to start on a highway into Lib
by from the west, and in view of the
further fact that there has been con-
siderable local interest regarding the
street over which it would enter the
city, this article in NADIA has unusual
interest at this time. It follows:
"Ten days ago a delegation of small
town civic officials appealed to the
state highway department Of Illinois
to undo an error which the delega-
tions themselves admitted was their
own. They asked the Illinois highway
commission to change the routing on
numerous highways so that the trunk
line roads would go around their
towns instead Of through them.
"These delegates told the highway
commission that through highway
traffic had so congested their streets
that their own citizens could no long
er get into the stores to shop, that
through highway trucks and busses
had battered their street paving to
pieces, that through traffic had COM
PEELED them to create traffic police
jobs which were severely taxing the
property owners Of the city to main
tain, that through traffic had in
creased the accident toll among their
own citizens because downtown streets
were not wide enough or properly
engineered to carry the burden of
both through and local traffic. For
every reason that was advanced ten
years ago as to why trunk line high
ways should be routed through the
heart of the city, these same cities
row had ten reasons why they should
be taken away from the heart Of the
city.
"All interstate and most inter-city
automobilists will throw up their hats
and cheer the day when they can pur-
Sue lileli Way atIUSS IUuHiIy WlLnOul
being dragged through small town
business districts. Acting on the as
sumption that automobile tourists
spend money, and that the more tour
lists you can get through the city and
past the spending points, the more
that will be spent, small towns have
clamored for mid-city routing Of di-.
rect highways. Now they are begin
ming to understand the automobile
tourist is like any other tourist, he
spends money for what he wants and
what he must have, and for that only.
If there is anything in a small town
that tourist wants or has to have
he is perfectly willing to drive into
the city, get it and drive out again"

Riches Not Always
UnanOyed Blessing

So large a proportion of humanity
seem to think that if Lady Luck
would only bring them large for
tune all their troubles would disap-
pear and life would be one long hap
plness.
Z. A. Squire says that that con-
ception of what wealth brings one is
not necessarily true, tnat all ones
troubles do not disappear when Lady
Luck knocks at ones door and not
only knocks but steps in and takes
a seat. And Miro Squire speaks from
experience, an experience he is ex-
periencing every day since he recently
came into fortune that is considered
comfortably sizeahle by the average
human who has to keep plugging
along diligently year in and year out
for three squares day and d place
to sleep,
Mr.. Squire, who is employed as
school teacher in the Fortine school,
was in Libby Saturday and chatted
with us few minutes about the
Sl60000.00 he recently received for
some oil land in Texas. In effect he
said, Il got hold Of what thought
was some worthless land in Texas by
trading something that | considered
Of equal small value. kept the land
for few years thinking so poorly Of
it that did not pay the taxes on it..
Of late months | noticed in press re-
ports that oil was being found in that
vicinity, and Z decided to take chance
and pay off the back taxes. Soon
thereafter | received letter asking
for price on the land, which even
tually ended in my selling out for a
sum that is not considered at all
large for an oil deal | could have
contracted the land on royalty basis
which might have meant millions for
me, and on the other hand it might
have brought me nothing in the long
run. chose to play safe and took
the cash." -
tion of the $160,000 had not brought
unalloyed happiness to Mr.. Squire.
II have had more responsibilities and
more perplexities since | got the
money than | ever had before he
said, "and to some extent / am being
annoyed by that class of people who
are always attracted by the news that
some one has come into goodly sum
of money" Squire told how he had
received letters from people from far
distant points who had read of his
good fortune and who We're trying
to get a slice of it by hook or crook.
In fact SOME Of the letters would be
good evidence for federal postoffice
authoritie lie Seemed to think that
Lady Luca had brought him not only
a fortune but a bag Of troubles as
we'll.
When the news first came out Of
Mr.. Squires wndfall he was quoted
as saying, "Now | can attend a uni
versity." What the world calls his
good fortune has placed him in al
position where he is taking an addi-
tional and a new course in the uni
yersity Of life--an experience that
gives him a much different slant on
human nature,

Football Game

Libby defeated Eureka on the Lib

by score Of Is to O. The score was
close throughout the entire game.
Libby defeated Eureka by outplay-
ing them at their own game. Instead
Of passing and end running as all
fans expected the Libby team made
most Of their yardage through the
Eureka line.
This was the last game for c.
Baker, Booty Boothman, Bluff Blough,
Buzz Baker and Bert Grambauer.
They will be lost through graduation.
They will leave with having the salts
faction of making their last game a
good one, all of them playing ex-
ceptionally good and hard in their
last encounter.
Eureka failed to threaten a score,
but made two first downs during the
contest. The Libby team. failed to
score several times when an oppor-
tunity was offered, as results of the
timers gun and beca,se Of fumbled
passes. The first score came as the
result Of nice return on a punt by
Albert Peterson. then a series of line
plays that took the ball to the 20 yard
line. From there Buzz Baker went
through center for the remaining dis
tance and touchdown. The line
play for the extra point failed.
The second touchdown came through
series of line plays, and completed
pass that netted about fifteen yards.
Bydc Lamey smashed over center for
the remaining distance and touch
down. The line play for the extra
point failed.
Albert Peterson returned punts in
great style and next year should be
one of the best quarterbacks that
has ever been developed in the state.

is apt to show other teams outside
of this district that they are out to
win themselves title.

of line plays Libby made the first
down, then Buzz Baker got funny
and went oyer center for touch
