Building Libby Cut-of Is

HAS SUGGESTION FOR
DEVELOPING MINES

To the Western News.
Dear Mr.. Editor:
l am going to write you letter, and
whether you print it or not must de-
pend on your kood nature. only get
the letter wgting habit during the
years of big SHOWS and you have prob
ably noticed that we have had consid-
cradle of a snow fall during the part
week. So big a fall in fact that It ap-
pears that this will again be a winter
of plenty snow. When the snow is deep
enough in the winter the next sea-
son is bound to be one of rosy pros
poets. The streams stay full of water
the springs continue to run all sum-
mer-forest fires are not known in
the land and the grass grows as high
as short mans neck. People can get
into the hills without danger of burn
ing the country up and visitors from
the outside world can not help but be
favorably impressed with conditions
they meet.
In the old days of Leo Faust and j.
M, Kennedy, when the snow got real
deep, we would sit around the stove
in the Libby Hotel and build a rail-
road from Kalispell to Libby which
we called the Libby cutoff This road
was built quite often years ago-we
used to have more snow before the
timber was cut back SO fart showed
SO much that we could not get out of
town except by walking or the use Of
hay burners--so we built railroads, dug
miles = tunnels, played baseball, caught
big fish and kiNed many deer, all by
the side of the most convenient and
warmest stove we could find.
Well, Mr.. Editor, have gone a hong

viii Take
Part In Relief
Work In Libby
Woman's Club Will Prob
ably Sponsor Organiza-
ton to Help Needy.
MANY APPLICATIONS
BEING RECEIVED

That Libby will have an organiza-
ton this winter to help in administer
ing relief to needy persons is now prac-
tically assured. 1t has long been rea-
lized that such an organization is bad
ly needed here. 1t appears now that
that need will be met.
With the coming OF snow and cold
weather of the past week has also come
increased requests to County Commits
sioner Brink for assistance from the
needy. Mr.. Brink is thus again faced
with the same old problem-and that
problem is how to take care of hungry
and poorly clothed women and chill
dren and not violate the requirements
of the state budget law; how to pro-
vide the needed relief with the re-
stricted funds at his disposal.
This has induced him again to voice
his request to the good people. of this
vicinity to come forward and help
solve most perplexing situation.
And a Libby organization has prac-
tically agreed to take hand in this
work 1t is the Libby Woman's club
The Woman's club is uniquely suited
for such work It's membership is made
up of women from all parts of the city
and belonging to numerous other or
carnations, both civic and religious
Thus whatever the club may due in
relief work will be representative of
the entire city and by its very nature
will be real community work 1t is
an excellent opportunity for this fine
Libby organization to do an outstand-
ing service to the community
Inasmuch as the matter was only
preached yesterday, detailed plans have
not been worked out as yet However.
it is understood the Woman's club will
probably take charge of the gathering
of used clothing Of all kinds, foods and
everything that can be used to adj
vantage in relief work Committees
will be appointed with members living
in various parts of the city who
will investigate applications for help
and who will always be ready to see
that the needy in their immediate
neighborhood are taken care OF. Ger
tain DAYS will probably be designated
and a place named where donations of
food and clothing may be brought
This will later be distributed to give
relief where it is most needed.
Certain of the churches OF the city
have signified their earnest desire to

Bankers said such transactions,
if true, involve borrowing money by
subterfuge. Bank regulations pro-
hibiting Daugherty from borrowing
in his own name.
The failure of the Ohio State
bank, followed by two months the
failure of the only other bank in
town, resulted in financial loss to
every family in the county. Many
depositors lost their life savings.
Despite this fact residents were
slow to condemn Daugherty, a
member of an old pioneer family
that came west in 1910 when Ohio
was a frontier.
Every one knew him and called
him Nal, just as every one called
his brother, Harry E. Daugherty

the Harding administration, by his
first name.
When Harry was attorney-gen-
eral. Nal was president of the Old
Midland bank, which a senate in
vestigating committee charged was

which allegedly changed hands In
the Teapot Dome transactions.
The committee sought to obtain
the records of the bank, but with

'RAFFLES' WILL
FREE GIRL IN
AIRTICHT SAFE
Sensational Stunt Set for
Wednesday Noon on
Circle Corner.
Thrills, thrills, and more thrillsl

Thrills, thrills, and more thrills!
If faith will move mountains,
pretty Leona Anderson, of 561S East
Twenty-first street, has it. because
she shows the utr-ost confidence in
the trained fingers of "Raffles," the
master craftsman, to release her
from an air-tight steel safe.
Wednesday at 1915 the safe
cracker" will demonstrate his
proves at a complimentary per-
Torrance at the entrance of Mar
ket street, on the west side of Mon
ument circle.
"Raffles" is appearing at the
Lyric theater this week, mystifying
vaudeville audiences as he has all
around the world.
Promptly at 1915, a large motor
truck will roll into the safety island
on the west entrance of Market
street and Monument circle, OPP
poSite the Test building. On it will
be a huge all-steel safe, from the
stock Of city furniture company.
While the crowd gathers, Miss An
derson will step into the safe. The
door will be closed by members of
a committee. A member of the traf-
f1c department. of the city police
force will twist the dial, to be sure
that the safe is locked.
Then Raff1es, seclrely blindfolded,
will rub his fingers with sandpaper,
in approved craftsman style. With
his back to the dial, his sensitive
finger tips will twirl the dial, the
nerves responding when the faint
"click" of the tunlblers is felt.
All this time, Miss Anderson will
be inside the safe. Raff1es may fail.
He never has failed to open safe
in three minutes. But if, perchance
he does not detect the correct COM
bination in that time, expert safe
drillers will be on hand to liberate
Miss Anderson. A physician will be
there to give first aid treatment to
Miss Anderson, in that case.
At the moment Miss Anderson is
released she will receive her reward,
a brand new shiny $40 gold piece,
from the Lyric theater, sponsoring
the "stunt" for the benefit of Times
readers and all others who wish to
view this unusual feat.
