Billy Williams Missing.

Sam Miller, coming to town Satur-
day from the district south of town,
brought news that he feared some seri-
GUS misfortune had befallen Billy"
Williams, old-time prospector of this
district. He said Williams had disap-
peared from his mine on Great North
ern mountain, where he had been doing
assessment work. About month ago
it was known that partners of Williams,
the Aliens of Oregon, had left after
helping in the assessment work
Yesterday Sheriff Baney and Miller
climbed to Williams cabin at the very
tiptop of Great Northern mountain De-
caying food was found on the stove
as though the one who had prepared
it had expected to return for it. Will
liams' horse was found nearby, but no
trace could be found of the old man
who is about 80 years old. 1t is feared
he wandered away and either fell VIC
tim to some accident or died from old
age While they were on the top OF
the mountain they were visited by a
terrific wind and rain storm, the sher-
Tiff says.

More Tourist Travel.

That tourist travel through these
parts has increased to large extent
since the opening of the highway
through Glacier park was the state
ment made by Mrs. F, ]. Townsend to
Libby visitors at Happy's Inn last SUM-
day. I'VE can notice remarkable in
crease in tourist travel since the high
way was opened said Mrs. Townsend,
land as the highways are further i'm
proved we will notice a still greater
increase. Our business is much differ
ent from what it was few years ago.
Then we had very little business
through the week but a heavy, rush
ing business on Sundays. Now we prac-
tically never have any Of the big Sum
day crowds but we have a much great
er and more steady business during the
week There is very little local BUSH
ness, most of it now coming from tour
lists. Since the highway through the
park was opened cars stop here from
eastern states that were seldom if ever
since here before"
