JUST TO KEEP THE
RECORDS STRAIGHT

Every now and then some person
breaks out in denunciation of Kalis-
pells attitude on highway questions.
So far as we have been able to dis
cover these criticisms come from peo-
pie who are not familiar with high
way history in Northwestern Montana,
or people who would not regonize or
comprehend the truth if it was laid
before them in words of one syllable
There are plenty of fair minded men
and women in Northwest Montana
however, and it is to these people this
statement is addressed -
AS above stated Kalispell has been
charged with being selfish in road
matters. If the people who make this
charge had taken the trouble to drive
over the roads in and out of Kalispell
they would find demonstrative evi-
dence that their statements were UNI
true. AS matter of fact, although the

Ore Deposit Attracts Attention.

A deposit of ore in the Club pool
hall window is attracting considerable
attention. 1t shows fine samples of
hand picked and sorted galena ore
from the Silver Tip group of claims
on Cherry creek, which most assured]y
give evidence of rich deposit.
A contest that excited much interest
was staged during the past week when
the men back Of the properties, J. w.
Barrett and Elmer WOLF, offered a
$40 prize for the one who could guess
closest to the weight of sack of ore
in the window, cement sack contain
ing the ore. 1t is said 205 guesses were
recorded, and Russell Whitefield was
the winner, having guessed the exact
weight at 254s4 lbs.

Fires Are Few
In This District

IA number of scattered lightning
storms have visited this section during
the past week, resulting in starting a
number of small fires in the timber,
about Is fires in all. Most of these were
in the Troy and Bull Lake districts,
although one or two were noted in this
immediate district.
Acting Supervisor j. X. Dwinelle has
kept his force of fire fighters on their
toes all the time and they have done
efficient work in spotting and putting
out the various blazes set by the light
ming. The largest of the fires did not
cover an acre and half. before being
extinguished. This district was also
favored with showers the first of the
week, which have helped materially
in reducing the fire hazard for the

ROAD CREW IS IMPROVING
LIBBY-TROY HIGHWAY

County Commissioner Brink has
men at work on his section of the
Libby-Tro highway improving it in
several respects. A sharp turn or two
are being widened, rocks II, the road
bed are being knocked off and other
improvements made wherever it is
possible to do so. This work has been
retarded this season to some extent
because of the highway contract work
that has been under way making it
impossible for the heavy county ma
chinery to be moved onto some OF the
road. Now that the contractors have
the new highway open it is possible
to move onto the county work.
The highway contractors have been
