Canadian capitalists who are arrang--
ing to handle zonolite products in
Canada.
Capitalists Contract for Tonnage.
A number Of capitalists in Toledo,
Ohio, and other cities have organized
the Zonolite Products Company,
headquarters at Toledo, and have con-
tracted for the exclusive right for
the sale of zonolite and zonoite prod
ucts east of the Mississippi river. In
return for this privilege they contract
to purchase minimum Of 1880
tons Of raw zonolite annually, stated
Mr.. Alley, at price that will net

pany is new organization and it
will take time to develop its field, and
for. that reason the annual tonnage
to be purchased by it was placed
at low figure so as to protect
it in it's initial operations. 1t is con-

that within two or three years the

using from $4,000 to $4,000 tons an

Plant Trees on
Total Of 80 Acres

The forest service tree planting
crews that had been working in these
parts finished their work for this
season last Saturday. A burned area
of 240 acres was planted on Callahan
creek, states Forest Supervisor f. J.
Jefferson, 70 per cent of which was
yellow pine and the remainder white
pine and spruce.
Fifty acres were planted below Troy
on what is known as the Mitchell sale
area. This was burned in 1926. The
planting there was all yellow pine.
After finishing the work on Gala
han creek and the Mitchell sale area,
there were number of young trees
left and these were planted on a 20
acre tract on Granite creek south of
Libby, near the King place. Super
visor jefferson desired to clean up the
work Saturday but did not have
enough men to finish the work by
that time, so Superintendent Wood of
the Libby schools stepped into the
breach and got twenty of his high
school boys to volunteer for the work.
The 20 boys went into the field Satur-
day morning and did very good work,
states Mr.. jefferson. Their willing
ness to help was much appreciated.
The Granite creek planting was all
yellow pine.
During the planting Is men have
been employed in the Troy district
while six forest service men and the 20
school boys comprised the Granite
creek crew.
The work this falll has been very
successful as far as can be told at this
time, according to Mr.. Jefferson. 1t
was necessesary to delay the work
about a month because of the dry
fall, but after recent rains, conditions
were all right for the planting. Good
progress was made by the crews, said
Mr.. Jefferson, about thousand trees
per day per man being the record.
This replanting Of burned over anc
otherwise denuded areas is considered
of the highest Importance as 1t Is
putting what otherwise would be use
less land to producing croy OF TIM
Der. Mr.. jefferson hopes to obtain
funds for some planting every year
hereafter.

Will Close Road
During Winter

County Commissioners Brink and
Monio report that action has been TAX
en- by the board of county commits
sioners whereby the Libby Troy road
will be closed from December to
April /. This action has been taken
upon the request of the state high
way commission. The reason there
for is because of the work on the
switchback that will be in progress
during the winter.
1t is belived this will cause very
little, if any, inconvenience to the
public as during most years the road
is not travelled to any extent and is
generally impossible because of snow
and ice. The public should take notice
of this announcement and plan any
contemplated trips prior to the clos
ing date.

Canadians To

gary" said Mr.. Johnson. eve expect
to specialize for the greater part on
the manufacture and sale of zonolite
plaster. There is no question that we
will develop tremendous business
in this plaster, which / am confident
will prove far superior to anything
now on the market" Treating plants
are being established in Canada SO
that the Canadian company can buy
the zonolite in the raw state and thus
save the high tariff that would have
to be paid on the treated product. Mr.
Johnson expressed himself as much
pleased over the future of The Zono-
lite company.
The company which Mr.. Johnson
and associates have organized is
known as the Dominion Stucco Co.
Ltd, with headquarters at Winnipeg
In their calcining plant at Winnipeg

Would Adversely
Affect County Roads

Attention Of Libby men has been
called to an amendment to the Oddie
bill, introduced in the congress, where
by use of forest highway money would
be forbidden on any except roads Of
the seven per cent system. At pres
ent Lincoln county has 1877 miles of
roads receiving forest fund aid. If
this amendment should become law
N miles would be made ineligible for
such federal aid, which would be a
disastrous thing for the roads of Lin
coin county.
In view of the unfavorable result
this amendment would have on local
conditions, County Commissioner
Brink has called a special session of
the board of county commissioners
for next Saturday to take whatever
action is deemed advisable in the
matter.

men approaching middle life, show
ed a beautiful spirit in thus honor
ing Mrs. Morris who not only in
spired them musically, but also for
the better and higher things in
life.
While at the cemetery they also
honored the memory of j. M. Betz
the father of the first tenor, by
singing at his grave. Mr.. Betz had
taken much interest in the singing
of this quartet.
