Modest Weather
Bureau instruments

Halloween merrymakers carried
their fun beyond the fun stage and
destroyed orsearried away instruments
maintained in Libby by the U. S.
weather bureau for the recording of
weather statistics.
These instruments are kept in spec
tally built stands on the lot behind
the First National Bank building and
readings are taken by the forest serv-
ice. One of the stands was destroyed
and the instruments carried away Part
of them have been recovered but a
funnel for catching of rain and snow
is still missing and if anyone knows and
learns of the location of this funnel
he should notify the forest service SO
that it can be recovered.
The river guaging apparatus that is
maintained on the bridge over the
Kootenai river near the depot was
broken from its fastenings and either
carried away or dropped into the river
This apparatus must be replaced and
il is of such an important nature that
a special weather bureau expert from
Helena must make a special trip to
Libby to install new apparatus.
From time to time boys and girls
have thought it cute to carry away
or TO interfere with the working Of
these instruments in different ways.
Because of the Importance of securing
accurate records of weather the u. S.
government makes penalty Of molest-
ing these instruments and offers a re-
ward for information leading to the
arrest and conviction of persons modest
ing them. II is hoped that this fact
will be remembered in the future by
persons with mischievous intent.

The Churches
A THOUGHT FOR SUNDAY
BY Amos X. Wells.

A certain society woman prominent
and wealthy, is suing the United States
TO recover a quarter of a million dol
lars paid in income taxes for three
years alleging losses through the clos
ing of hotel bars which she owned be-
fore the passage of the Prohibition law.
She will not get her money back, it is
safe to say, because the Supreme Court
has decided that national Prohibition
is not confiscation Of a legitimate in
dustry, but abolition of business hurt
full to the people.
No one has a right to do wrong, yet
evil-doers are constantly acting as if
anv interference with their wickedness
were an offence against personal lib
erty." That much-vaunted term is con-
stantly used as a cloak for personal
iniquity.
No one has a right to make profit
from proving on others. The dope seller
and the bootlegger and the hign-
bar-owner, stand on the same level
0 fsocial infamy, while the defenders
of such creatures stand with them
In the pride of the wicked the poor
is holly pursued, let them be taken
in the devices they have conceived.
Read Psalm 10; LIZ.

TAUGHT SCHOOL FOR $1,000
MONTH AND BOARDED ROUND

f. A. Rice is in receipt of copy Of
the Oberlin (Kan) Herald that con-
tains an article of much interest to
him. 1t is write-up OF the 50th we'd
ding anniversary Of Mr.. Rice's sister
and her husband Mr. and Mrs. ]. C.
Frewen.
The article recites some interesting
history. 1t tells how Mr. Frewen came
to Kansas from Iowa in 1879 and en-
gagged in school teaching. 1t mentions
that AT that time the teacher received
$40 month salary and had to board
at the different homes of his pupils
This job Of boarding around was very
pleasant % for the teacher when the
pupils informed him that he wasn't
wanted at their house that week.
School teaching in those days was
no fun-httle salary, boarding around
and there were more pupils in the
school then there are in the rural
schools OF today. The teachers of today
are better appreciated and have bet
ter deal than had the teachers then.
After teaching school for several
years, they moved from the farm
to a home in Oberlin. While he was q
candidate for this office the remark
was made that he couldn't read or
write. Imagine that, after teaching
school for several years. But then when
you hunt for an office you are liable
to have most any remarks made about
you. In spite of this opposition, Mr..
Frewen was elected and made we'll
liked and efficient officer -

Chamber Of Commerce, Harlin-

Gentlemen:
On May 10 / received the follow
ing telegram from your organiza-
ton: In a mass meeting here to-
night OF tax-paying citizens and
members of chamber of commerce
a resolution was adopted unani-
mously endorsing the action OF j. y
Chambers and General Lansing
Beach before the Commerce Com
mittee Of the United States Senate.
This resolution endorses Harlingen
unequivocally as the logical site fo-
a port for the Valley and urges
that every effort for a port for the
Valley and that every effort be ex-
erted in furthering the cause Of
Harrington"
Telegram Puzzles
! am at a loss to understand the
exact meaning Of your telegram
General Beach testified that there
is no justification for a port in the
Valley. and Mr.. Chambers asked
for a reconsideration, which, in II:
final analysis, means that we should
abandon the present recommends
tions Of the army engineers. secur.
ed after twenty years Of effort. anc
start all over again.
This would mean years OF delay
in securing deep water transporta-
ton for the Valley and possibly
abandonment by the government o.
the entire project. ! wish TO stats
frankly that / will oppose any de-
lay which would jeopardize deer
water for the Valley. So far a:
the arroyo project Is concerned, J
will do everything in my power e
aid your navigation district IN Sc
curing surveys and the maintenance
they have asked, as I fully appre-
ciate its value TO the entire Valley
/ do not believe your organiza'
ton nor those who attended tht
mass meeting will endorse the at
titude of General Beach, nor can
believe that you would ask me u
take action which would delay To-
years and probably deprive the en-
tire Valley Of the benefit Of deer

TITHATEvER the outcome Of the
WV first case Of the r. B. Creager
million dollar suit. in which
100000 is asked, setting Of the Sec
ond case Of the suit for $500. 900
Will be asked, r. b. Creager said
this morning.
At the time this was written the
jury was out on the first case while
people in the Valley anxiously await
ed the verdict. so keen has interest
IN the case become.
The second cNe Is founded on
a story carried In Golfers entitled
Jobs for Jack" and had to do with
republican politics in the south.
II looks as II the Valley is in for
more publicity. Had the Baker
trial been called. Brownsville would
have had two Zig cases in progress
at the same time.
TWO moves are being made TO get
the gaps in the military high
way closed. The San Benito
Chamber of Commerce has started
a move TO get the state Of Texas
TO take over the highway from
Brownsville to Laredo. It has pass
ed it to the Harrington Chamber Of
Commerce for endorsement and
that body has referred 1t to its own
highway committee for action.
Recently Judge Oscar Dancy made
public a proposal to pave that part
in Cameron county, some nine or
ten miles with county script.
The main idea is to get it paved,
50 as to give two highways in the
Valley, the second relieving the con-
gestion of the first. and to more
highly develop the farming aSea
through which the road passes.
IN NEXT Sunday amateur base
ball will open in the Valley with
three games scheduled. Browns
vile will meet Donna. there; La
Feria goes to San Benito, and Mis-
sion TO Harlingen.
