Troy Club Opposed
To Buck Law

At a recent meeting Troy sports
men took action on a number of mat
ters, as reported by the Tribune;
A considerable number of vita
matters were taken up and passet
upon for recommendations to the Stat,
Fish and Game Commission.
1t was favored by the meeting t,
have certain districts opened or eloset
by the Commission, with the recon-.
mendation of the local Club, in plac,
of game preserves.
The buck law was not favored ane
the meeting went on record as OBJ
jecting to law on the kind of Ia dee
killed. In this respect, as in others
they believed, that such laws only tene
to make lawbreakers and that game
is possibly wasted this way.
1t was passed that deer hides coule
be purchased by bonded buyers, allow.
ing the sale of only one hide to buyer
in order to do away with the waste ir
deer hides.
The motion was passed to have {
bounty given on predatory animals
and that good bounty be paid 70,
mountain lions which are responsible
for. the loss of many deer.
The meeting went on record as fav-
oring Is day season on blue grouse
during the deer hunting season.
1t was carried that bear be consid-
cred a fur bearing animal so that the
hides would not be wasted.
They urged law against shooting
from any public road en-
In line with many other Rod and
Gun Clubs, they favored resolution
to have the license of hunter re-
voked for year If convicted of 0
game law violation The Whitefisll
Club, meeting the first of this week,
favored the same, with the addition
that license be revoked permanently
If the violation occurs three times.
A recommendation was agreed to
that the Libby fish hatchery be open
the year around. Upon comforting with
Mr.. Boyes of Libby, leading sports
man there, the secretary learned that
it was the plan to run it the year
around.

Decreasing
Libby Loses 81 of School
Age, Eureka 70; Troy
Gains 23.
RURAL DISTRICTS
SHOW INCREASE

According to figures given out ny
Mrs. Carrie La Munyan, county super
intendent Of schools, Lincoln county's
school population is Fl less than il
was last year. Last year the number
of school children in the county-be-
tween the ages of six and 21--was 2074
This year there are 1858
In 1929 Libby had 1856 pupils while
this year there are 875, loss of 81; the
same loss as the county figures show,
However, there were losses and gains
in other districts.
The Eureka district is the heaviest
loser, having had All pupils last year
and 351 this year, loss of 10. The Troy
district shows gain of q, having had
232 pupils in 1929 and 255 this year.
Most of the rural districts report
gains Trego had So in 1929 and 60 thia
year. Rexford has the highest enroll
ment outside of Troy, Eureka and
Libby. The railroad town had rs last
year and 81 this year.
The loss in enrolment in some dis
tricts is undoubtedly due to the bust
ness depression, with the scarcity of
work and the moving about of people
in search of employment

OBJECTS TO PROPOSED
CHANGES IN GAME LAW

In last weeks Western News there
appeared an article in which the Lib
by Rod and Gun club proposes severa
changes in the hunting laws.
One Of these proposals relates to .
buck season. This would be to my OBJ
servation big mistake, as the mum
Der Of bucks now is very low in COM
parison with number of does.
There is bunch of about 20 white
tail deer feeding on alfalfa hay in one
of my sheds and out of the twenty
there are only two or three bucks with
visable horns. Kill these two or three
bucks and what will you have next
year,
Then, too, there are a great many
people that only want a little venison
They don't care for more than few
messes of it and would much prefer
small deer to big buck. What does
it matter as long as one is entitled to
one deer whether it be buck, doe or
faWn?
Fifty per cent of the hunters wouldn't
look to see If deer had horns or not
and would kill a doe by mistake. See
ing what they had done they would
leave it lay and 60 on hunting again
and might kill three or four does be-
fore they got buck of lawful size.
This is just what they were up
against in the state of Washington this
year. / was called to Newport by the
game commission to destroy a cougar
that was killing deer, and while there
| stopped at one of the ranger stations
and game warden went with me and
report after report came in where some
one had found does shot and left in
the woods. They have buck law and
he said never again will they have such
a law.
| really believe there are more white
tail deer this year then | have ever
seen heretofore and / believe you will
all agree with me if you will just take
little trip out in the woods and size
up the deer tracks. believe tag sys-
tenn would be good thing and also
the $50 yard limit from public high
way.
Of course there were lot of deer
killed this fall but it isn't very often
that we have fall like this one, and
when we have late dry fall deer are
mighty hard to get and in such case
Is days would hardly be long enough
for most people to get a deer as most
men can only get away Sundays and
that would mean that they would have
only two days in which to get their
deer.
/ believe in being strict on hunting
out of season but leave the hunting
season long enough SO that everybody
has good chance to get deer.

About Bank {. DIS

Since the publication of the article
regarding the finding of certificates of
deposit of William Williams by George
Ottawa, Mr.. Smithberger, cashier of
the First State Bank of this city, states
he has received a good many inquiries
regarding these instruments. Many of
the people have gained the impress
sion, that if certificate of deposit is
lost they could never collect the money
from the bank. This is not true,
The bank keeps an accurate record
of all certificates of deposit outstand-
ing. Should one be lost the bank will
issue duplicate upon the owner fur
nishing an indemnity bond in twice
the amount of the certificate This
bond is merely an agreement that the
bank shall suffer no harm should the
original certificate be found and an
attempt made to cash it. If the certi-
ficates are for small amounts person.
al surety is accepted but in larger
amounts it is necessary to have bond
issued by surety company. Mr.
Ottawa knew of the amount on de-
post in the First State Bank and had
already made application for such a
bond which would have cost him
$1,000. When this would have been
filed with the bank, duplicate certifi-
Gates, bearing the same dates and in
the amount Of $3,92OSO, and being the
same as the original certificates, would
have been issued to him and would
have borne interest from the original
date. Money in the bank for which a
certificate Of deposit has been issued
is different from an ordinary checking
account. A certificate OF deposit is a
negotiable instrument and the bank is
obliged to pay the holder in due
course. 1t Is for that reason bond of
indemnity is required

New Serial That Starts Next Week a
Thrilling and True Historical Narrative

The Western News takes real pleas
ure in announcing the beginning next
week of one of the finest serials it has
ever published. II is by that excellent
and well known author, James Oliver
Curwood. The story has to deal with
one of the most stirring periods in
American history.
The new serial is entitled "The
Plains of Abraham" and is vivid
picture of conditions prevalent at the
time OF the French and Indian war.
The best part of it Is that the story
is largely true one, and the letters
and other records from which the
author gained his material are still
on file in the Convent Of st. Ursulinc
in Quebec. We confess that we started
to read this fine story last Sunday
morning and were not satisfied until
we had finished 1t late that evening.
Jeems and Toincte are the hero
ana heroine. Scarcely more than chill
dren, they faced alone one of the great
est tragedies Of history. Danger before
them, the pitiless scourge of the SEN
ecas behind them, Jecms and Toinette
went forth into the woods, their heads
high, like young god and goddess.

Every person who has had anything
to do with the mining business will
admit that there are some ill-advised,
incompetently handled, and wilfully
nefarious promotions that crawl into
the field as mining promotions. There
are counterfeits in the banking bust
ness, too. It's as easy for imitatorS to
slip in through the open door and or
ganize mining company as it Is to
put slugs in public telephone box,
or slot machine, if nobody is watch
ing. But there are more, and many
honest efforts at financing for mine
development.
American industry is fast running
into public ownership, through the
medium of the joint stock company,

Candidate for Governor Address
 eS Corner Gathering Here

R. s. Kling, communist candidate for governor of Connecticut, spoke to nearly 150 adults and about 100 children not yet in their teens last night at Winter and Starr streets, and sold several copies of a com munist leafet
 The speaker berated the owners of the Stanley Works, saying that through over production of goods made by the labor of thousands of workers the factory could not sell the surplus and the workers who made the product were discharged instead of sharing in the profits of the company and thereby having money in the banks to guard against lean time. President Hoover was severely criticized for his speeches in which he fooled the workers by telling them that the peak of the unemployment is over"

 At one point during the speech two young men slightly under the influence of liquor attempted to start trouble with another man. but Mo- torcycle Officer Louis E. Harper stepped between them and the two young men walked away.
 The speaker saw the incident and, pausing in his talk. pointed dra- matically toward the officer and said, Those stool pigeons for the capi- talists (meaning Officer Harper and
