Win Erect 40 Signs
Narrow Highway

County Commissioner Monio of
Troy and Forest Supervisor Jeffer-
son of Libby drove over the highway
Tuesday from Kootenai Falls west for
a distance Of about two and quarter
miles, where the highway is high and
dangerous. The object of the trip was
to pick out places for the erection of
signs directing travellers to turnouts
and other safety provisions. Mr.. JET
ferson stated that after examining
the road that 40 signs would be
placed. This does not mean that there
will be only 30 turnouts in the two
and quarter miles, said Mr.. Jeffer-
son, as there are numerous turnouts
that are so plainly visible that any,
one can easily see them.
Mr.. Jefferson reports that Mr..
Monio is planning much work on this
section improving the turnouts, dig
glng them out and otherwise making
them more convenient for the travel
ing public, work that will be done in
the immediate future. This work will
do much to remove the danger of
this piece of highway, according to
Mr.. Jefferson.

Fircmen Will
Give Annual Bali
MONDAY Night

One of the outstanding affairs in
the social calendar of Libby is sched-
uled for next week. an affair that
has been celebrated once year for
the past II years. We refer to the
annual Easter Monday ball given for
the benefit Of the Libby Volunteer
Fire department.
That is really all that is necessary
" Be said, for this organization stands
- hih tn the estinstion OF the LIB
by public that they consider it a
pleasure to contribute to the firemen
at this annual occasion, besides en-
joying what always proves to be
pleasant evening. The Libby depart
ment has the reputation of being one
of the very best volunteer fire organ
izations in the state, and under the
able direction of Chief Hoffman it
have saved thousands of dollars
worth of property to Libby home and
business owners. The respect in which
this organization is held always brings
out capacity attendance at its an
nual ball. The affair next Monday
evening will be no exception to that
rule.

spring Master Billy accompanied
his Daddy on a fishing trip to Lake

hours fishing through the ice. Not
to be outdone by his seniors, Billy
buckled in and caught nine beauties
all by himself, pulling them out
through hole in the ice, just like
Dad. The picture shows Billy's fine

a number Of Libby men coupled with
numerous promises of support from
other parts Of the county.
Mr.. WEIGHS announcement will be
received with interest by the voters
of the county. Since he has decided
actively to enter the campaign, he
will be seeking the votes Of the citi-

Mr.. WEIGH came to Libby in 1914
and almost Immediately stepped into

CROWD SATISFIED
WITH PROGRAM
BY E. n. B.


II there va any question as to
Libby supporting ! fight card that
doubt must be removed. Saturday
night saw one d the bigrst crowds
that ever witnessed \ sporting event
OF any kind in the city.
The show started promptly 1t $50
when the KatArxy Kids put on three
fast rounds. The Kids were 1t their
best and the crowd wn1 in m uproAr
rs the little fellows pasted each other
with everything except the stool.
There might be lot to this brotherly
love but the kids evidently forgot all
shout it As they were like couple OF
savaxes, both bent on winning and
thinking what might happen If they
didn't put up scrap. The bout was
declared a draw and the decision was
we'll taken by the crowd.
The second bout on the card was
four rounds bestween Byde Lamey
and Bob McNair. Seldom if ever will
you see scrap that WAS as fast as
this one. In the first round Byde was
out of his corner and after Bob, chas-
ing him all over the ring and throwing
punches at him from every angle.
Byde had the best of the going rs
he had about 20 pounds the best Of
it in weight. However, Bob was q
game guy and the crowd gave him
a good hand. Both these boys are
good and it is hoped that they can
be sent against someone near their
weight Byde is natural born scrap
per and shows to good advantage.
We are bound to hear and see more
of this fellow in the future.
The main event between Jess Bak-
ker and Dee Richmond was knock
out, and when we say that we mean
it. These boys were out for blood and
the crowd did not need to ask them
to mix it; they kept after each other
from the first. The firxt round was

Hunter Bags Lion
Cubs in Rocky Den

G. f. Beebe Of Columbia Falls re-
celved special commentator for the
killing Of female mountain lion and
the capturing Of her five kittens alive
after hazardous entrance into den
on the Wolf Creek preserve, in the
report OF the state livestock, fish and
game and biological survey on preda-
tory animals, received by Robert H.
Hill, State Fish and Game Warden.
Beebe was called into the district
when the ranger reported an unusual
slaughter by lions among elk. and
deer. The second day out he picked
up the trail Of the old female lion and
put his dogs, cross of foxhound and
bloodhound, on her track. In less than
three hours he had her freed and
killed.
After he killed the Lion he discov-
cred she was nursing young. He
skinned the animal and took her back
trail across Wolf Creek to Elk Noun
tain and followed It to her den. The
den was so small At the entrance that
ne was unable to crawl in with his
heavy clothes and besides be needed d
gunny sack and some snares. He re-
turned to the Fairview Ranger Sta
ton, about % miles, got his supplies
and returned to the den.
Removing his heavy clothes. he
crawled back about 40 feet through
the crevice in the solid wall of the
cliff, lit his candles and started to
catch the lion kittens with 4 wire
SNARE. The den was about two feet
wide, five feet long and five feet
high. After getting the little cats in
the sack he backed out, dragging
them after him. The kittens weighed
six to eight pounds each and were
carried about two miles until Beebe
reached = spot where he chopped
down lodge pole tree with his hand
Ak and made sleigh. With As pounds
on his back and pulling the sleigh
with the five kittens and the hide
OF the mother lion, it was all he could
do to make the top Of the divide,
where he stopped for the night feeding
the kittens on heated canned milk.
The next morning he hauled the
load to Trego, 20 miles, and then took
the train for Columbia Falls, from
where he shipped the young lions to
K. e. Bateman, predatory animal in
spector, at Billings. The lions will be
sold to museums.
Beebe often spends weeks at time
away from civilization with his snow
shoes and pack outfit. During the
time he is on his trips he camps At
night in silk tepee II no other shell
ter is available. He gets supplies from
caches Of forest rangers, to which 10

Forest Service
Plants More Trees

A crew of Is men finished planting
young white and yellow pine trees
on a 80 acre tract on Granite creek
Tuesday evening, stated Forest Su-
pervisor Jefferson this week. This,
with 35 acres that was planted last
fall, will comprise an experimental
plot. If the planting proves success
full, a large acreage would eventually
be planted on the open, burned over
land on Granite creek. The season
this year is so dry that there is some
fear the young trees may not survive
the transplanting, said Mr.. jefferson.
A beetle control camp is going in
on II Mile creek and spoilers" are
out working on Pine and Star creeks.
Control camps will be established
about May /. The spoilers go through
a district where the beetles have been
found and pick out the infected trees
prior to the work of the control
camps.

Mr.. Welch grew to manhood in

county voters decide to elect him to
that office. Since coming to Libby
Mr.. WEIGH has been proprietor of

FITZGARRALD AGAIN
FILES FOR CONGRESS-
BY the United Press

The senatorial situation still mo-

other developments merit some COM
ment.
In western Montana, speculation
has been aroused over the candidacy
Of Mark D. Fitzgerald, Stevensvilie

ton for ressman from the first
district.
This is Fitzgarrald's second try. He
was the republican nominee two
years ago but met defeat At the hands
OF the veteran democratic incumbent.
John NJ. Evans OF Missoula.
A rather amusing situation has do
veloped in the race for the republican
nomination to the state railroad COM
mission. The incumbent, Leonard C.
Young, will be opposed by William
l.. Young of Wolf Point. The cues
ton is, how will the casual voter dis
tlnguish the identities Of the two
Youngs? Incidentally, William L. cuts
