NEW YORK, July q. In
writing about amateur base
ball and kid games, I've
always made it q point to EN-
phasize physical condition and
the Importance Of kids taking
care Of themselves and not
overexercising, and, what is
more important, looking out
for every injury and having it
attended to ait once.
You never know how. serious an
injury il going to be. "A torn
muscle can develop into 4 perma'
nent thing.
A mere scratch can become in.
fected and cause all sorts OF trouble.
That's why big league ball clubs EN-
ploy trainers to take care Of the
players, and that's why you'll always
see d trainer bandaging and treating
scratches and cuts that seem to be
small things.

that after numerous tests the oys-

ovstermen and numerous delega-
tions called on the governor and
the state Board of Health, but the
health body was firm in it's de-
termination to stop the dredging
of the oysters. At the time of the
previous agitation, government
health officials were inclined to
stop the shipment of oysters from
Delaware unless the State Board
of Health placed ban on the
streams and this was finally done.
The government was powerless to
stop the catching and sale of oys-
ters from these streams in the
state, but it had powerful weap-
on in stopping the shipment out of
the State of any oysters. 1t was
suggested by the State Board of
Health that oystermen take the
oysters from these streams and
dump them into the Delaware Bay
for a period long enough to take
away the contamination from sew
age and other causes and in a few
instances it is said that this has
been done. Others who were in
terested claimed that it was i'm
possible but the dredging was
stopped last year. 1t is claimed
that the only weapon which the
state Board of Health has to stop
the sale of these oysters is to
again place a ban upon the

lowing the turning in of a small

he had botten it off the leg of a
red wing blackbird that he had
shot near New Castle on Labor

possible to secure a conviction for
selling the oysters because it would
be necessary to see them taken
from the streams and then follow
them until a sale was made. If
the practice of taking the oysters
is continued, the State Board of
Health will probably take action
and will direct DR. A. C. Jost, the
executive secretary, to proceed to
enforce the ban.

Building Cabins for
Tourist Business

A. L. Hamel moved Tuesday onto
the 62-acre tract Of land north of the
river he recently purchased from the
j. Neils Lumber company. He has
erected a large garage building on
the property and will occupy it as
temporary quarters until he has time
to build house, which he plans to
do before fall
The tract lis an ideal location along
the Kootenai, just easterly from the
city park, with beautiful mountain
view. Hamel plans to develop it into
stopping place for tourists, and
will erect number Of cabins. He
has four cabins already nearly fin
ished and more will be built from
time to time during the summer. Two
Of the present cabins are 12x14 and
two are 10x12 feet. Both are of log
construction and the rustic idea will
be carried out in all further construc-
tion on the place, SO rs to make the
buildings h5rmoniDe with the sur
roundings Of river and mountains.
Hamel already has private electric
light plant installed and is digging
we'll so as to provide water for
a water system. Garages will be built
so that each cabin will have garage
Of its own.
The tract adjoins the Roosevelt
highway, which is the main artery of
travel from the northern part of the
county, and is so situated as to at
tract the attention of tourists trav-
cling over this popular highway.

Came To
This District
AZ Years Ago
George Blackwell Passes
Away After Long Resi-
dence in These Parts.
MUCH INTERESTED
IN GOLD MINING

Lincoln county lost one Of its Oldest
pioneers last Saturday in the death
of George Blackwell, Sr., Mr.. Black
well having come to Libby AZ years
ago and having lived here most of the
time during that period. He had been
in poor. health for the past two OF
three years, death finally being caused
by dropsy. He was nearly IT years of
age.
Funeral services were held from
the Gompf chapel Tuesday afternoon
with the Rev. John Pate officiating.
The impressive Masonic service was
used at the grave, the Masons hav-
ing charge of the services there. The
funeral was one of the largest ever
held in the city and the chapel was
more than filled with sorrowing
friends. Many beautiful floral offer
ings testified to the high esteem in
which the deceased was held.
In the long years of his residence
here Mr.. Blackwell had won many
warm friends who held him in deep
est respect as man of upright char
acter and always honorable in his
dealings. He was the type OF man
that makes for good citizenship. The
surviving relatives have the sympathy
OF the community in their loss of
loving husband and father.
George Blackwell was born on May
"a, 1852, at Hoboken, N. j., and was
rs years, 10 months and 10 days old
at his death. When two years Of age
his parents decided to migrate to
Washington, and they sailed from
New York, crossing the Isthmus of
PanamA. After somewhat event.
ful voyage in which the sailors mu-
tinted, they reached San Francisco.
The elder Blackwell homesteaded in
the Willamette valley near Portland,
Ore, where George grew to man
hood.
In 1874 he married Eliza Field at
Cottage Grove, Ore, and short time
after moved to Sprague, Wash, where,
he WAS employed as engineer on the
Northern Pacific. When the gold ex-
citement arose in the Coeur d'Alenes
in 1886 he renated there and in the
following year came to Libby, where
he was one Of the original locators
of the Silver Crown mine After sell
ing out to a Spokane firm he re-
turned to Occur d'Alene for a short
time, where he engaged in gold mill
ing. Returning to Libby he entered
the sheriff's office and for II years
was county jailer, retiring fabout
year ago because of poor health. He
is survived by the widow and son,
George Jr. Two daughters died while
young.
Out of town friends present at
the funeral were Mr.. and Mrs. j. f.
Beesly of Cashmere, Wash.

BRINGS pUREBRED SHEEP
TO TOBACCO VALLEY

Eureka Journal. sheep industry
in Tobacco valley received another
substantial boost last week, when 100
head of purebred ewes were brought
here by S. r. Christian of Great
Falls. The animals arrived last Thurs
day and were taken to the Peltler
ranch where Mr., Christian already
has 200 head OIL shares.
Mr.. Christian was here recently and
was so pleased with the way his sheep
came through the winter and the
very apparent advantages Of this sec
tion as a sheep country, that he de-
cided to bring these purebreds here
and also plans on bringing in more
on shares this fall.
Several of the farm flocks in the
valley have nearly completed lamb
ing. and very good success is reported,
the increase being from 10 to 150
per cent. 1t is estimated now that
there are we'll over 1000 head in the
valley in small bands or farm flocks-
ranging from 100 to 400 head in a
flock. Those who have engaged in the
venture are apparently well pleased
with their start.

More Elk For
Lincoln County

Two more carloads Of elks can be
obtained for Lincoln county, according
to announcement made by e. nj.
Boyes, who is advisory member for
northwestern Montana Of the State
Sportsmen's association. Mr.. Boyes
worked in cooperation with the state
fish and game commission in the re-
cent placing Of two carloads at Libby
and says two more are available If
desired. Local sportsmen are of the
opinion hat Libby has got all they
can handle at this time, but a car
load will probably be taken by the
sportsmen of the northern end of the
county. Troy men were asked If they
desired a carload of the game animals
but they regretfully refused because
of the expense involved.
Reporting the taking of car for
the northern part Of the county, the
Eureka Journal said
Steps were. taken up by the To-
bacco Valley, Sportsmen's association,
at an impromptu meeting Monday
evening, to secure q carload of elk,

member for this district of the state
association, arrangements are being
made with the state game commission
for their capture, loading and ship

there is any deficit, it will be COW
cred with funds from the local as
sociation. Our fellow townsman and
most public spirited citizen, 0. P.
Mosby, headed the list with dona-
tion of s25, and nearly all sports
men approached have come through
with donations of SIS or more.
Many sections of Tobacco valley
are deemed natural elk country, and
they will be liberated in the Fortine
or Trego sections, probably in the
former, where they will have an op-
portunity to drift in to the bunch
grass country.
Two carloads, or approximately 100
head Of elk, were liberated at Libby
recently, and a year or so ago an
earlier shipment was liberated there.
Some were also taken to the Wolf
Creek game preserve about a year
ago from the bison range by truck.
These animals are all reported to be
doing well, and the early herds have
been considerably augmented by pro-
geny. =
This step by the local club is one
in the right direction and it is antiei-
nated the animals will spread to var
ious parts of the valley and their

with her parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Hugh
Smith. Mrs. Dickey is just getting
about from injuries sustained in an
automobile accident last June, when
she suffered broken back. The ac-
cident, she reports. was due to toe
fast driving, she repeatedly having
urged the driver to drive slower
Travelling at about 65 miles an hour
and approaching a curve, the driver
applied the brakes, docking one rear
wheel in some manner. The car left
the highway, completely jumped an
intersecting road SO feet wide that
had been graded some two or three
feet below the surrounding ground
Striking the far edge Of this cut, the
car leaped SO feet and turned over
The driver and a young 19 year~old
I girl were unhurt, but Mrs. Dickey sus-
tanned broken back. She recently

ElkS
Become Pest
To Farmers
1t Is Said They Will Not
Bother Where Natural
Food Is Plentiful.
ARE A REAL ASSET
TO THE COMMUNITY

Will the planting of elk in this
district result in their becoming =
nuisance to the farmers and a hind
rance to the further development of
the dairy industry here7 That oues-
ton IS somtimes heard propounded
ny a few citizens who are much in
terested in seeing more cows brought
into the section and more farmers
engaged in dairying.
With the idea of obtaining an an
sWer to the question, the query was
put to f. J. Jefferson, supervisor
of the Kootenai national forest. ELK
will never bother farmers in this
part Of the state" said Mr.. Jefferson.
1T has been the experience of tho
forest service that elk are never =
bother to the farming industry ex-
cept in places where natural feed Is
scarce. Where natural feed is plenti-
full the animals never bother tho
farmers fields or haystacks, and na-
tdral feed here is exceptionally abun-
dant. There is no need to worry about
the elk damaging crops in this part
of the state. The forest service has
records of one time where planted
elk caused damage to farming and be-
came a considerable nuisance. That
was in the Bitter Root valley, in Z
section where there was practically
no natural feed. As matter Of fact,
it was not elk country and they never
should have been released there. That
is the only instance where the plant
ing Of these fine game animals re-
suited in damage to farming. With
the superabundance Of natural feed
here there is no reason to fear any
damage to local farm development"
There is an angle to this matter
that many do not consider" continued
Mr.. Jefferson. "That is the money
that will be brought into the country
by sportsmen who come to hunt elk
after they have become plentiful. I
know Of small town in Idaho, where
elk hunting is good, where about $l0,-
600, conservatively estimated, Il
brought into the town annually by
elk hunters from the outside. Tho
planting of elk results not only in
sport for local sportsmen but it has
no mean money value to the com
immunity as WE'LL"
