Remarkable Work Done By Big
Tractor andGrader in MovingRock

A narrow and rocky stretch Of road
that many have long believed would
require much expensive blasting to
widen and improve it has this week
fallen before the attacks of the big
county "cat" and grader. And prac-
tically no blasting has been necessary.
Reference is made to the narrow,
rocky piece of road at Rainy creek
Supervisor Ed Smith and his crew
of three men-Lee and Lloyd Nixon
and Terry Smith--put the big grader
on the job the latter part of last week
and the work that has been done is
a marvel to those who have been unac-
quainted with what the big caterpil-
lar and grader can do.
The road in that particular place has
been gouged through a rock slide, a
compact mass of rock ranging in pieces
as large as ones fist up to chuncks
as large and larger than a mans body.
These had accumulated through the
ages as the pieces broke off and fell
from the rock cliffs above. To look at
lit one would think tractor and grader
would be absolutely helpless in at
tempting to move it. But such is not
the case.
Supervisor Smith and his men
pointed the grader into the mass ano
then gave the cat the gun" And the
outfit walked right through the con-

SAYS CRITISIM OF COUNTY
COMMISSIONER NOT JUSTIFIED
Libby, Montana, May 10, 1891

Libby, Montana, May 10, 1890
Whereas, Commissioner George J.
Monio was critized in the recent re-
port of the State Examiner for charg-
ing eight dollars per day and "ex-
penses' for services rendered the
county in inspection, direction, and SUI
pervision OF county road and bridge
work, anr in the said Examiners re-
port it was stated that the charge
should have been for eight dollars per
day and mileage
In justice to Mr.. Monio / wish to
state that he made his claims accord
ing to my Interpretation of the law
and according to my Instructions
advised MIR. Monio to make his claims
against the County for said services
for eight dollars per day and necessary
EXPENSES" and not MILEAGE"
My advise to Commissioner Monio
was and is in the wording of the
Statute, and according to Chapter 176
Of the Session Laws of 1929, approved
March 18th, 1929, and which law reads
as follows:
Section 1882. INSPECTION OF
HIGHWAYS AND CONSTRUCTION
WORK COMPENSATION. The Boarc
of County Commissioners may direc,
the county surveyor or some member
or members of said board, to inspec.
the condition of any highway or high
ways or proposed highway or any
work, contract or otherwise, under the
direction, supervision or control Of the
county officials, being done or COM
pleted or any highway or bridge in
the county during the progress of the
work or before any work is COM
menced, or after completion and before
payment therefor, and such person or
persons making such inspection shall
receive for making such inspection
when so directed the sum Of Eight
Dollars $500 per day and ACTUAL
EXPENSE, which shall be audited and
allowed in the same manner as other
claims against the county
The above law does not have the
word Mileage in it, but does say
Actual Expense
Therefore, am still of the opinion
that my advise to Commissioner Monio
was, and is the correct law

glomeration of rock, big and little,
mixed with goodly supply of earth
and roots of trees. The mass is worked
over to the edge of the road in two
or three trips when its rolls down the
embankment widening the roadway
and building up good wall at the
lower side. ~
A few short years ago this piece of
road will be remembered as one rocky
bump after another and SO narrow
that two cars could not pass except at
few points where turnouts were
available. Today cars can pass at any
point, so wide has the roadway been
made with the big grader and the
heavy caterpillar.
Occasionally rock is encountered
so large that the grader will not move
it, whereupon the tractor operator
places his machine against one side oil
the rock and by skillfully operating
the machine in a sideways motion
pushes and rolls the rock across the
roadway and over the edge.
County Commissioner Brink hac
estimated that it would require 10 days
to complete this work, which, at ar
operating expense of $50 a day, woulo
have totaled $500" cheap at the price.
But it turns out that the work vii
not require more than six days, which
gives mighty fine piece of road WORK
at the very nominal cost of $4,000.

Forest Fires Hurt
Tourist Travel

That forest fires directly affect the
volume of tourist travel both current
ly and in the future there can be lit
tie doubt, officials of the forest serv-
ice claim.
The prevalence of large fires, with
their accompanying smoke clouds hid
ing the scenery and tainting the at
mosphere, unquestionably keeps many
people away and causes others already
in the region to hasten out
The most serious detriment to the
tourist business in the long run, comes
from the damage which fires do to
scenic beauty, fishing streams, game
haunts, and other recreational quail
ties that are inherent in parks and for
ests for these are things that can be
replaced, if at all, only by years of
costly effort.
There is another immediate injury.
Forest fire news is eagerly sought by
the press everywhere, and large fires
are prominently played up on the
front pages of daily papers through
out the country. Moreover, information
travels with surprising rapidity by
word Of mouth, one tourist to another
as they meet along the way. Stay out
of that state, the whole country is on
fire." is probably as commonly heard
in years like 1929 in Montana and
Idaho, as Don't take that route, the
roads are terrible" is when tourist
meets tourist with only the roads and
weather to talk about
News of this kind cannot and should
not be suppressed The only sure way
to prevent forest fire publicity to the
detriment of tourist travel in which
exaggeration and scarehead tendencies
are inherent, is to prevent big fires.
Fire prevention then is to the advan-
tage of every one who. benefits from
the tourist business, including all or
CARNATIONS that are engaged in stimu-
lating travel.
Smokers and campers are the two
most prolific sources of man-caused
fires, and finding means Of holding
down the number of such fires is quite
as much the job of those who benefit
| from the tourist business as 1t is the
Job of foresters. There are many means
that can be employed Filling station
and hotel men, information bureaus
and local business people generally
can give verbal warning when the
/ fire danger is extreme against throw
ing out matches and tobacco or leav-
ing camp fires unextinguished They
can use slogans in advertising mat
ter calling attention to forest fire pre-
vention- Fire posters can be displayed
in conspicuous places. Stickers and
/ leaflets especially designed to help
prevent fires can be distributed to pa
irons.

Trout Fry
That Is Advice Given BY
Game Experts at Saturday
Meeting.
STATE OFFICIALS
ARE PRESENT

That the ultimate solution of the
problem of keeping Montana lakes
and streams supplied with an abun-
dance of fish is to grow the young
trout to large size before planting
discussions held Saturday evening at
a meeting of the Libby Rod and Gun
club, with several state officials pres
emit And to feed the trout fry until
they reach size of from five to six
inches will cost lot of money, was
also the conclusion reached
After the serving of the banquet un-
der the auspices of the Rod and Gun
club and the Libby Commercial club,
and of which some SIS or 10 partook,
E. NJ Boyes called the meeting to
order and presided, calling first upon
Mayor Elmer t. Switzer. Mr. Swift
ger said that when boy he had often
fished the streams right in the vicinity
of Libby and never had any trouble
in catching fine string; now one has
to go back much farther and the fish
are growing scarcer every year He
thought some solution ought to be
reached to correct this.
Chairman Marlowe Speaks.
Thomas N, Marlowe, chairman sof
the state fish and game commission,
spoke at length, saying that the COM
mission had concluded much better
results could be obtained if trout fry
were fed until they obtain Size of
five to six inches. but that would cost
much more and probably would re-
quire charging more for hunting and
fishing licenses. He wondered how that
proposal would be received by the
sportsmen Of the state. He said the
matter of big game supply-deer and
elk-was well in hand and in a salts
factory condition.
Chairman Royes stated he was con-
fident Libby sportsmen would back
the commission in any game conserva-
ton it proposed, and heartily thanked
the commission for the elk they had
shipped to the county. Mr.. Boyes also
spoke of the need of greater sup
