TAKING OVER TAX DEED
PROPERTY WAS GOOD BUSINESS

While in session the first of the
week the county commissioners grant,
ed five year lease to Gus Delzer to
the lot adjoining the Public Drug
store, on which DeIzer will erect a
building for his barber shop
This lease is only one of num-
Der Of transactions closed during late
months by the commissioners proving
the wisdom OF their taking over a
number of lots in the city and tracts
over the county by tax deed In
many instances the lots have been sold
outright for much more than the
amount of the taxes against the prop
erty, which turns into the county
treasury the back delinquent taxes and
also places the property on the tax
list again. Numerous sales have been
made Of these tax deed tracts, all Of
which turns out to the good of the
county.

BIG GRADER PROVES A
HIGHLY VALUABLE MACHINE

The past week has disclosed another
example Of the wisdom of County
Commissioner Drinks purchase of the
big heavy road grader and tractor that
he has had in use practically every
working day this year. He has had it
working on the road south of Libby,
a stretch of highway that each sum-
mer becomes very rough. Poor judg-
ment was used in the first construction
Of this piece of road in the use of over
size gravel. The top dressing has worn
away in the years since the road was
first built, with the result that the
large gravel now lies on the surface
and makes a very rough highway.
Commissioner Brink conceived the idea
Of sending the big grader over this
stretch of rough road and tearing out
the oversize stuff That was easy
work for the heavy grader because Of
its weight and size. After tearing out
the large gravel the roadway has been
graded and is as smooth as pavement
for the time being.
Mr.. Brink and those who have
watched what the big grader can do
are convinced 1t is just about the best
purchase of road equipment the coun-
ty ever made in this district.

Little Stories of the Town

folding it he discovered another $40
bill folded within the twenty. In simple
English, Joe was $50 to the good.
Now here enters the part thar the
newspaper man SO frequently likes to
write about, 1T pays to advertise" Our
friend Joe has been a reader of this
paper for many, many years and that
evening he got his copy out Of the
postoffice. CHANGING through the CLASH
fled ads. he saw that one, Michael Nc
Nair, had lost $40 and $40 bill He
knew at once that he had it, so he at
once stepped into the postoffice and
dropped letter to Mr.. McNair with
the $50 enclosed McNair had lost the
money Thursday morning, the adver-
tisement came out in the paper Thurs
day evening and he had the money
back in his possession Friday morn
ing. Quick work.
And thus endeth our story. Diogenes

JOE is AN HONEST MAN, AND IT
PAYS TO ADVERTISE.

If old Diogenes were still treading
this earth and peering about Libby
with his lighted lantern for an honest
man, he could turn up the globe to his
old lantern and blow out the light for
the honest man has been found--and
he is a citizen of this fair city.
His identity was discovered in this
manner.
Perhaps you read in last weeks
classified ads. of the Western News
that Michael McNair had lost 5000
$1,000 and 5000 bill. He wisely
inserted the adj, paying therefore the
small sum Of 30 cents. The printer who
took in the advertisement was rather
cynical and remarked, "Well, now, !
wonder if the guy who finds that
money will be honest enough to return
it." And he added, with a sound Of
cynicism in his voice, Il doubt it, But
ne didn't know that the money was to
be found by Joe.
By Joe we mean our well known
pioneer citizen, solo joe" In other
words, Joe Perriault. Joe was walking
past the K M. Co. store Thursday when
he saw lying on the sidewalk what
looked like currency. STOPPING over he
picked 1t up and found he was hold

During the next few weeks we will
hear this expression used time and
time again Especially will the ex-

sion "Oh, be sport A real sport Is

Sophomores, however, are also ex-

freshmen or resort to brutal means to

To Juniors and Seniors being a sport

Forest Fire Soon Conquered.

When the pail of smoke that had
been hanging over this section for
some time lifted Saturday it was dis
covered that small forest fire was
burning on Quartz creek northwest Of
Libby. The smoke had prevented the
lookouts sighting the fire and it is be-
lieved it was started by a storm of a
few days previous thereto.
Local forest officials threw their or
ganization into duty at once and in q
very short time had ITS men on the
fire and by Monday had it surrounded
when most of the men were laid off
The fire covered only about hundred
acres, the largest one in this district
yet this season.

do even more than his share of work
for community betterment. After COM
ing here he was soon elected to the
