LIBBY PEOPLE RECEIVE
PROHIBITION BALLOTS

Libby people are receiving ballots
in the nationwide prohibition poll
that is being conducted by the Liter
airy Digest. Ballots are being sent to
20 million people by that publication
on which three questions are asked
viz:
ID Do you favor the continuance
and strict enforcement of the Eight
eenth Amendment and Volstead Law i?
(2) Do you favor q modification
OF the Volstead Law to permit light
wines and bear?
CD Do you favor repeal of the
Prohibition Amendment
The expense of conducting such a
vote must be staggering. One cent
postage on 20 million letters and bal
lots totals 5000, 900; two cent postage
on the return ballot will probably tot
al another $4,000; the cost of print
ing 20 million circular letters, bal
lots, and envelopes will run into i'm
mense figures and the army of clerks
needed to conduct the poll will add
to the staggering sum. However, it
ought to give very fair idea of the
sentiment of the nation on this much
discussed question.

Famous White Wolf
0utWitS Hunters

STANFORD March Sup
How much longer can the consum-
mate craft and cunning of the famous
old white wolf Of the Little Belt de-
feat the combined efforts of his enc
mics to end his spectacular and bloody
career7
This question has been brought to
the fore by two recent narrow escapes
from death--one at the hands Of dogs
who lacked courage; the other in a
trap from which luck and cunning
salone saved the wolf.
The other day A. " Cheney, Wolf
Butte, heard his five Russian wolf
hounds raising a hub-bub near his
ranch. He rode horseback to the scene
of the racket and discovered his dogs
had cornered the old wolf in some
brush.
Fortunately for the killer, Cheney
was without a rifle and the hounds
with one exception, one Billy
lacked courage. "Billy" attacked from
the rear and grabbed the VOLTS tail
Each offensive was met by slashing
counter-attack.
Suddenly the old wolf broke for
freedom and eventually escaped in the
thick timber. Hours later he was heard
bowling his defiance from hilltop
Again, the white killer stepped into
a number trap near the Merrimac
ranch in the Highwood mountain foot
hills. Evidently he wrenched his paw
free just an time. Tell4tale tracks
around the trap revealed his identity
The killer is still free, but for how
long depends on his brains and luck
With price on his head and witt
every mans hand against him, tht
odds are against the wary old range
warrior.
This wolf is not myth. He has
been seen too many times and his
huge tracks are a commonplace sight
He is exceptionally large, his teeti
are rather dull due to advanced ag'
J but he Is still active and, above all
mAnifests almost human intelligence

Fur Farming
Profitable In
Lincoln County

That Lincoln county is an ideal
place for the location of commercial
fur farms is the news broadcasted to
the world, very interesting article
in the February number of Montana
Wild Life, that excellent little maya
zine published by the Montana fish
and game commission. The article is
written by Deputy Game Warden VIM.
Darlington of Libby and tells what
Roy c. Smith is doing in developing
a silver fox farm near Troy. The arti-
Gle follows:
Montana is reaping an ever-in-
creasing harvest Of silver and gold,
not from the mines, the forests or the
farms Of Lincoln county, but from the
pelts Of silver foxes, according to r.
G. Smith of the firm Of Smith &
Budina who operate the North Star
Silver Fox Farm, along the banks of
the Kootenai River. For approximate
~ 80 miles this river winds its way
through Lincoln county. This section
Of Montana offers the finest climatic
conditions for the raising of fur-bear-
ing animals.
Standing on the threshold of the
fur industry in this district, Smith
& Budina are unusually enthusiastic

LIBBY BASKETBALL BOYS
HIGHLY COMPLIMENTED

While the Libby high school bas-
ketball team was unable to win at
the recent tournament held at
Whitefish, yet the visit there was
not devoid of pleasing results. w.
&. Seims reports that while in con-
versation with the proprietor Of the
Cadillac hotel, where the boys
stopped while at the tournament,
the Whitefish man paid the Libby
boys very high compliment. He
stated that the boys were the most
gentlemanly and best behaved and
left their rooms in the cleanest con-
dition Of any Of the teams that had
stopped at his hotel for a long
time.

Having Attendance Contest.

The Eastern Star had a large turr
out Tuesday evening. The worthy ma,
tron, Mrs. Ray Rice, is putting on ar
attendance contest with Mrs. Arthur
Clough and Mrs. Ben Larson as cap
tains.
A most enjoyable program made
the evening very pleasant. A humor.
GUS contest OF letter writing WAS put
on-each one present writing linz
and passing 1t on to the next to write
another line. The final letters when
read, got a big laugh.
Mrs. DwineIle sang three numbers
OF old songs. Harold Gompf, accom-
panied by Frances Gompf, played
two cornet solos. All responded to
hearty encores.
Mrs. Brinton closed the program
with much appreciated skit of "Be-
fore and After Marriage"

Ask For New
6. n. Depot
City Council Authorizes q
Committee to Take
Necessary Action.
L. S. WEIGH WOULD
BEAUTIFY THE CITY

That a request will be filed with
the Great. Northern Railway company
to provide Libby with q better and
more modern depot was the result Of
conference held Tuesday evening be-
tween the members of the city council
and committee from the Libby Com
mercial club. Following instructions
from the Commercial club, L. S. WEIGH
and E. E. Jaqueth, IS a club commit
tee, appeared before the council re-
garding the depot matter. Members
OF the council had previously suRcest-
ed that steps should be. taken to CD
tain new depot, and Mr.. WEIGH and
Mr.. Jaqueth expressed the acquies-
cence Of the club in that desire and
the willingness of the club to cooper
ate.
After discussion of the matter.
DR.. A. E. Ostroot and w. C. collars
were appointed from the council and
authorized to act with the CONNER
cial club committee in whatever steps
are taken to obtain a new depot.
Mr.. WEIGH brought forward the
idea that comprehensive plan for
the gradual and constant improve
ment Of the city ought to be worked
out, that citizens ought to be en-
couraged to beautify their homes with
schrubs, trees and flowers. The men
present fell in with the suggestion
and it is expected that some definite
plan will be worked out in this re-
gard.
