Money Desired
For Geological
Survey Work
Department at Washington
Intimates Cooperation
Would Help Greatly.
HOPE TO CONTINUE
LABORS THIS SUMMER

Continuing Of geological survey
work in this district this summer may
depend upon the district raising some
money to help defray the expense,
according to letter received by H.
c. Bolyard from G. F. Loughlin Of
Washington, D. c., geologist In charge
OF the section Of metallfenous de-
posits, Of the U. S. geological sur
voy.
Realizing the great Importance Of
having this work finished, DR.. C. 3.
Boyle, chairman Of the mining COM
mittee of the Libby Commercial club,
states that President F. ]. jefferson
Of the club has written to Mr.. Lough-
lin for definite information Is to
what sum would be expected.
From the amount appropriated by
the county commissioners for = Lin
coin county mining exhibit at the
Spokane mining congress there is IN
unexpended balance of sos. It has
been suggested that this sum might
be secured for the geological survey
work, and if greater sum is needed
1t would have to be raised by some
other means.
However, it is beloved the u. s. de-
partment is anxious to continue the
work here this summer and will prob
ably do so. The letter to Mr.. Boil
yard reads, in part:
Regarding continuation of Glib
sons work in the Libby quadrangle,
we hope that he will continue it this
summer although, because of the
scarcity Of funds, it may be impos-
sible to send him into the field be-
fore July /. The demand for work in
cooperating states, which defray half
OF the entire cost OF the work, ID 10
great that there is some danger th4t
We may have 70 at1sRz1l6 @11en4 like
Gibson to those states, although we
will not interrupt the continuity Of
the work If we can help it. One way
to insure continuity Of the work would
be to develop cooperation in Montana
as whole or any district in Montana.
The U. S. geological survey can only
cooperate with public institutions,
such as state, county, or city organ
izations, and if your local chamber
Of commerce could aid in developing
financial cooperation with the city Of
Libby or with Lincoln county, it would
be possible to do two dollars worth
Of work where now we could only do
one. Such cooperation brought about
the completion Of the work around
Helena in 1925"

JUNIOR HIGH RASK ETBALL

The Junior High basketball squad
and coach Larson drove to White
fish last Friday to compete in the
Junior High district tournament held
there, March 7th and 8bh. The first
game they played was lost to Column
bia Falls by a 1917 score. The Libby
boys arrived in Whitefish late Fri
day afternoon and were not in the
best condition for this game. In the
next game the Libby quintet decisive
ly outpointed Eureka by 28-2s score.
The game with Whitefish was close
and exciting. Our boys opened with a
flashy offensive attack which nearly
proved too much for Whitefish but
the constant missing Of short shots
by the Libby boys enabled Whitefish
to win 1920.
George Rusher of Libby was chos-
en- by the officials as the outstand-
ing player Of the tournament and the
Libby team was chosen as the best
balanced team. The teams placed:
First, Whitefish second, Columbia
Falls; third, Libby; fourth, Eureka,

Brother Of Dr.. BOYLE
Has Unusual Career

DR.. G. B. Boyle of Libby is in re-
ceipt Of copy of the Washington,
D. G., Post of February %, which
contains q two column article de-
scriptive OF the newspaper career of
the doctors brother, John Boyle.
John Boyle celebrated his 18TH birth
day anniversary on February rs, and
the article was to pay honor to one
who was still in active newspaper
work, 81 years in the harness and
still going strongly. The write-up was
headed by reproduction of cartoon
published in 1896, when John Boyle
was one Of six delegates elected to
the democratic national convention
from Washington, the historic conven-
ton that brought out the then young
William Jennings Bryan as the stan
dard bearer of the democratic party;
a personality that was to leave its
active impress on American national
life for quarter Of century. In
set in the cartoon is a picture of Mr..
Boyle as he appears today.
The. article is interesting and re-
cites much newspaper and political
history. Mr.. Boyle is now and has
been for the past 80 years Washing
ton representative of the Wall Street
Journal. In his 52 years of newspaper
work he has represented at Washing
ton number of leading American
papers as well as the Exchange Tele-
graph CO., Ltd, of London.
The opening paragraphs Of the ar
ticle follows:
"Fifty-two years in active news
paper work and still going strongly
is the record Of John Boyle, veteran
Washington newspaper man, whc
Tuesday will celebrate his 18th birth
day anniversary still in harness.
Engaged for more than. half cen
fury in an apparently endless pursuit.

Thirteen Months

The people have spoken. But what of it?
Thirteen months from now-and not before-the
mandate so forcefully pronounced at the polls this
week. rejecting persons and policies of the present
regime, will become effective.
In thirteen months, it is possible for great many
and women without work to starve to death
In thirteen months foreign trade may be damaged
irreparably under the SmootHawley tariff bill in re-
gard to taxes, to power regulation, to prohibition and
other issues which the people have spoken much
happen in thirteen months.
The constitutional requirement that congress
elected in November of year shall not take Office
until December Of the year following is an outworn
relic Of stage coach days. 1t is not part of the Con-
stituton because any wise group of elder statesmen
thought it desirable measure of good government
1t necessity of the days of primitive transpora
ton.
Yet for years reactonary house Of representatives
has blocked adoption of the Norris duck amendment
which would correct this condition
In no other country in the world does such con-
dtion exist.
The voters must speak again. If they demand an
end of this Anticipated lame duck nonsense their de-
mand will be respected.

Symptomatic of the temper of the west was the

He voted for confirmation of Judge Parker and for

There have been similar upheavals in Kansas and

years of drought in the SOs following period of

People Will Find Their Own Way"
AS q member of the tariff commission

AS a member Of the tariff commission he had the
courage to resign and tell President Coolidge frankly
that that body had been packed in the interests of
big business.
No invasion Of public rights on the part Of state
national administrations has been accepted by him
in silence. He believes and has faith in the American
people he believes that the rights of are above
the rights of dollars He believes most thoroughly in
the Bill of Rights and the efficiency of the ballot to
defend it.
He goes to the United States senate not only with
ideas, but background of experience that should
make him a force in that body. His knowledge of the
tariff will make him natural leader in the effort to
correct the present atrocity Of tariff measure,
pudiated by the people.
But his platform not the tariff issue. He stood
for a program of unemployment insurance. He will
be found fighting for measures that may be termed
radical now, but will be conservative decade hence.
In all his career he never has compromised on a
question of principle has sacrificed conscience
and his is superkeen-to personal advantage never
has faltered no matter what the personal sacrifice
in fight to popular government and popular
rights.
Such Is destined to help make history
and real history-for his nation.

NL1 AOO4 Lands

THE ceremonies at Theodore Roosevelts grave on
i his birthday recall the period when he was the
most virile personality in the world.
He fingers in memory rather tenaciously and he
will do so for time to come, owing to the contrast
he offers.
1t is disqueting to the youth who has an appe-
lite for lasting fame to reflect that after ALL there is
no such animal.
Presidents shrink terribly after the expiration of
their terms and for statesmen of less calber their
utter disappearance is pathetic.
Between Abraham Lincoln and President Hoover
there are only two ex-enants of the White House able
lift their heads the fence of the past and they
are Cleveland and Roosevelt.
All the rest soon shall sink into the gray pile we
call "the past"
A ND Cleveland and Roosevelt are on their way,
IA that is they destined to join the forgotten
with the turn of another century not before, for
this steam roller of oblivion is a relentless thing
BY the year 1000, the people will know only of
Washington and Lincoln; all the rest will be out Of
mind
OF course. some .~A soul may come tramping down
the years between and the year 20OO but of the
present group we have given you the two survivors
This would be shock to some of those who have
showed their feet under the White House mahogany
for they worried about their place in history"
ND while these two ex-Presidents viii be the sole
survivors CT their class, the devastation among
the senators will be even more deadly the chances
being that Daniel Webster alone will be able to
vive the harsh weather of time.
He will be remembered for the reply to Hayne :"
the most stately parade of logic that ever marched
across the destiny of the republic.
So, if you are in your 20s and dream of laboring
in the public vineyard so fame shall your name
where it shall defy the centuries chase the vain IL
fusion at once for we are all our way, all except
one or two, every hundred years.
But this should not chill the ardor of the budding
statesman for it's not frigd existence In marble
which appeals, but game fight for the right against
overwhelming odds.
AS Roosevelt said. that's the greatest sport on
earth

Let 1t Go as CyniciSm

THAT'S the kind OF twaddle
L Sinclair Lewis has been ex-
posing, and it's the kind of twaddle
that taints too many of our &C
tivitieS and institutions.
He says that he only has tried to
paint American life as it is, that he
did not start out to be crusader
or reformer, and that he does not
believe his writings have wrought
any change.
He says that anybody still can
hear the same old hypocritical stuff
over the radio, or find Main Street
with George F. Rabbits name in
gilt letters on plate glass window
1t is possible to interpret these
remarks as revealing a delightfully."-
humble attitude on Mr.. Lewis part,
or as just some more of that flip
pant cynicism characteristic of his
style.
It probably would be best for all
concerned if we accepted the latter
viewpoint, because it leaves Sinclair
Lewis as we have known him, and
because there is no reason in the
world why we should stand him on
a pedestal paint halo Of an
gelic humility around his brow, and
drape him with virtues which he
does not possess, when he has made
his mark as a very human fault
finder.

A S one who diSagrees violently
L A with many of his conclusions

Thcre may be room for argument

but there is no room for argument
as to the fact that it has made
deep impression.

1t requires no straining of the
imagination to Ietect the influence

f1ected in the recent election. The
very qualities he satirized con-
tributed more than anything else to
turn people against the Hoover adj

LEWIS CLARK EXPEDITION
November ]
ON Nov. 7, 1905, the expedition
~ of Captains Meriwether Lewis
and William Clark, which had been
sent by President Jefferson to ex-
plore the Missouri to its source and
to push forward to the coast,
reached the Pacific ocean.
The expedition started in three
boats from st. Louis in May, 1904.
BY the following summer they had
passed the wild gorge Of the Mis-
souri, known as the Coates of the
Rocky Mountains" and soon after
wards reached the site of what is
now the capital of Montana.
In August, Lewis and Clark stood
on the Grown Of the Continent .
in the midst of a colorful knot of
ridges and peaks from which rise
the Columbia, the Colorado and the
Missouri. Early in October they en-
barked in log canoes on a tributary
Of the Columbia.
In November they reached the
Pacif1c-"that ocean" says Lewis,
which was "the object Of all our
labors, the reward of all our
anxietieS."
The work Of Lewis and Clark was
Of great value. They had found
practicable passes through the Rocky
mountains, confirmed our claim to
the Oregon Country" and opened
the way to the valley of the Co.
lumbia and the Pacific slope.

WHENEVER an author writes a
w book which is not much sold
or praised, he always puts his
knuckles in his eyes and says that
he will go and tell posterity. I'm
much afraid that there is cold COM
fort in the threat and possibly some
lack of foresight.
Just why should anybody assume
that posterity will be all-wiSe? OF
course it may be said, There is no
other court of last resort" Well,
it's not good enough. We must in
vent another.
Some sort of mystic religion IS
necessary. There must be final
Judgment day for books and plays
and little poems as well as the one
which has been promised to pass on
human souls.
On that great day many cases will
be heard, but it does not seem to me
as if confusion will be caused by
including literature in the province
of the court. Often it is not easy
to keep book and soul apart.
Certain authors, summoned by
