Luminous plants have been source
Of strange legends In India and
Afghanistan. There is a mountain
called Suited Kohl In Afghanistan on
which the natives believe that gold

slopes are covered with bushes which
at night, from a distance, seem to
be on fire, yet when you are close
to them there Is no sign of flame
The natives Of Simla say that at
night the mountains are Illuminated

With Interest

Two women of uncertain age, who
had long been rivals in love, quarreled
over trifling gift which the object of
their alteration had indiscreetly be-
slowed on one of them.
HE intended those flowers for me-"
the elder woman said to the lucky
recipient. "You waylaid him on the
way to my house, and shamelessly
robbed me of his offering. Your guilty
face tells tales"
The other shrugged her shoulders as
she answered, sweetly:
"Oh, well, my dear, have IT your
own way. At any rate, no one will
ever accuse you Of having a telltale
face. It's so difficult to read between
the lines"

This year they are completing their
work at the head of Libby and O'Bre,n
creeks.
The general land office, cooperating
with the forest service, has two parties
of surveyors working in the north
eastern part OF the forest, extending on
both sides of the river from Warland
to Rexford. These parties are in charge
of Engineers Bandy and Richardson.
The forest service, besides using the
plane for survey purposes, has two
surveying parties in the field Engineer
Modlin and party are engaged in their
second seasons work on topographic
map of the Yak country. At present
they are working at the head of Sew
cnteen Mile creek and are covering
all of the country in the d1ainages Of
the Yak river and O'Brien creek.
Photographer Eric Lindquist Is en-
gagged in his second seasons work east
of the river near Warland This year
he is filling in the topographic features
of three townships Of the map made
last year by the general land office
parties in that region.
All of these mapping agencies of the
federal government are cooperating
for the early completion of a topo-
graphic survey and map of Kootenai
forest which includes the greater part
of Lincoln county. The objective Is to
continue with this work and complete
1t within the next three years.

Commissioners Draw
Up Preliminary Budget
Montana Law Imposes Stiff Penalty for Expendng More
Money Than That Stipulated in Annual
Budget.
TENTATIVE DRAFT NOW ON FILE
AND OPEN TO INSPECTION BY PUBLIC

Lincoln county commissioners have
been very careful to live up to this
law and are striving carefully to obey
its provisions, although it has proven
very difficult sometimes to do so. Over
in McCone county the county commits
sioners violated the budget law, II IL
said, and spent much in excess Of the
budget income. A grand jury last week
recommended that the three commits
sioners be removed from office. Ger
tain other law violations were charged
against one or two of the commission
ers, it being alleged that one commits
sioner had collected two days pay for
one days work and the commission Of
other illegal acts. It seems there Is to
be cleaning up of conditions in Nc
Cone county similar to what took place
in Lincoln county not so long ago.
This preliminary budget given below
is only tentative. 1t is now open to
public inspection and on August s the
commissioners will be in session to
hear any suggestions or objections to
it
Below is given three columns Of fig
ures-the first gives the sum expended
in the various departments last ynar;
the second column gives what the var
ious officials asked for this year, whi1e

Grows Fine Crops
On Libby Farm

E. A. Rice, successful rancher who il
developing tract Of land south "a
Libby, is we'll pleased with what he has
produced on the place this year. Last
week he brought several samples of
grain and hay into the Western News
office, and they were as fine agricu,,.
tural specimens as can be found any
where.
A sheaf of two ROW barley was espe-
cially good, with heavy we'll filled heads
of grain If it had been cut for grain
The yield would have been very salts
factory. A sheaf of winter wheat like
wise carried heavy heads of grain, an
excellent crop. Mr.. Rice also had fine
samples Of red top and timothy hay
He said the timothy stood nearly six
feet tall in places and was very heavy.
Mr.. Rice took 40 big loads, estimated
to be at least 80 tons of hay, from less
than Is acres of land No irrigation

sub-irrigated.
In addition to the hay, Rice has an
acre and half in beets, mangels and
carrots which will help to provide feed
for his dairy cows and pigs.
Because there is not threshing ma
chine in the district, it was necessary
for Rice to cut the grain crops for hay.
He says it would be of great advan-
tage if someone would get a small
threshing machine Only small ma
chine would be needed, but if one were
available the farmers could produce
much of their own grain for feed and
it would be a real asset to those who
are developing ranches in this district
He says that in eastern Montana, III
the Great Falls district, combines are
displacing threshing machines and he
| believes small used machine coulc
be bought over there at a very rea-
sonable figure. He plans to look int
that matter before another harves
season rolls around.
Mr.. Rice also uses irrigation OF
some of his land, especially on alfalfa
He reports that crops on the irrigate'
\ land have been very fine.

FOREST SERVICE WILL MAKE
AERIAL MAP OF KOOTENAI

The landing Of the forest service fire
patrol plane in Libby on Tuesday af-
ternoon brings to mind the large pro-
gram of surveys that is being carried
on throughout the Kootenai forest and
Lincoln county this year.
The forest service for this northern
region, which includes the Kootenai
forest, arranges each summer for the
services of plane for fire inspection
and control purposes. The plane is
manned by Howard Flint fire chief OF
the forest service and a pilot from an
aviation company in Spokane. This
contract specifies minimum number
of flying hours to be used during the
season. To make the most effective
use of this contract, the plane, while
not engaged in fire control work, is
used in making aerial topographic sur
veys of the various forest regions. This
summer it has been assigned to maxi
ing an aerial survey of portions of the
Kootenai forest
The portion of the forest that has
been assigned to the plane for survey
covers an area of about $50 square
miles to the north of Libby and west of
Warland and Ural The river flow
ing west through Libby and south
through Warland and Ural is used as
landmark to guide and control the
operations of the plane. When, used for
aerial Photographic purposes the plane
is flown at an average altitude of TO-
600 feet above the country being photo
eraphed The camera is operated by
Fire Chief Howard Flint.
This aerial survey is one of the sew

Below is published the preliminary
budget for the 1890 fiscal year as fixed
by the board of county commissioners.
1t should be of interest to every tax
payer in the county as it discloses what
county officials figure will be needed
to meet the expenses of county business
this fiscal year.
The estimated expenditures and in
come of the county as indicated by the
general fund will be $52,176.O4. The
estimates submitted by the various
county officials as to what sums their
offices would need totaled practically
$4,000 more than the estimated in
come. 1t therefore became necessary
for the county commissioners to pare
down all these estimates so as to bring
the total within the estimated income
This will be indicated in the table
appended below.
The budget law enacted by the las
legislature places drastic restriction.
upon county commissioners in compil-
ing and living up to a budget. Expendi.
lures must be kept within income. Thu
county commissioners and the count,
clerk are held responsible if expendi
lures exceed the budget and the coun.
tvs income. If these four officers vic
late that provision of the budget Law
they are held personally responsible TO
10 times the sum spent in excess o
the income.

Granite Creek Bridge Giving Away.

Granite Creek Bridge Giving Away
The bridge crossing Granite creek
just south of Libby is giving way under
the impact Of heavy loads of logs,
poles and other material and it viii be
necessary to rebuild the structure, says
County Commissioner Brink. He con-
siders the bridge still safe for the ordi-
nary automobile but warns against
heavy truck loads. He has placed pla-
cards at both ends of the bridge for
bidding heavier than three ton loads
including truck--to cross the bridge
The top beams of the trusses sup
porting the span of the bridge have
become warped and twisted, taking
somewhat the shape of letter S. This
is especially noticeable in the truss on
the north side of the bridge The truss
is also swinging outward from the
bridge, from its proper position.
Commissioner Brink has crew
making temporary repairs. The bridge
will probably be rebuilt this fall II
was built eight years ago.
