ROME SEES PEACE AIDED.
Effect On World of Naval Accord Is
Acclaimed.

ROME March IL (P.-Government
and press alike in Italy view the France
British Italian naval accord as a great
political achievement destined to exert
q favorable influence upon disarmament,
economic rehabilitation Of the world,
peace and prosperity.
The Government Is especially happy
over the settlement because it feels that
the Italian policy has been fully Justi-
fed. The four principal points OF Dino
Grandi's thesis at the time OF the Lon
don pact, the Government believes, are
exemplified In the new accord.
These points were reduction OF arn1a-
mentS, naval parity and practical So
luton and attitude toward over-age
craft. They constituted the Italian
program from the start.
There are economic advantages in the
accord, too, Italy believes, for she had
pledged herself to build ton for ton with
France, and under the terms Of the new
agreement she will save something like
500, 100000 in naval expenditures.

The appointment of Mrs. Alice Far

sale in Libby and County Superinten-
dent Carrie LaMunyan chairman for
rural schools is announced by the Mon
tana tuberculosis Association which is
organizing the state for the coming
campaign.
The 1891 seal sale deserves the sup

community, and even the children can
help by contributing their pennies,
said the chairmen in commenting upon
the campaign.
Because tuberculosis and other di-
seases attack people more readily in
times of want and distress, the Christ
mas seal, which conducts the militant
campaign against tuberculosis, needs
help this year more than ever. 1t is my
hope that people will give literally
even though it means some self denial
A deprivation of some small luxury
or simple recreation will make it pos
sible to raise the amount necessary to
carry on the anti-tuberculoss program.

:. Three Elk Killed.

Three elk are known to have been
killed near Libby since the deer sea-
son opened. The first one was found
by Ted Berry and brought in by
Berry. Eddie Kemp and Game Warden
Darlington The second one was found
in the Michaels draw and had been
dead for a number Of days, when found.
The third one was yearling found
by Jimmy Ritzman on Rainy creek
and reported to Darlington. 1t was
badly wounded when found, was killed
and brought to town and the meat
sold
There Is difference Of opinion re-
garding the degree of guilt entering
into the killing OF these elk, on which,
it is of course known. there is no open
season. Some are inclined to argue
there is no excuse for this unlawful
killing of elk, but number of expert
enced hunters maintain it is very easy
to mistake an elk for blacktail deer,
provided the animal is at some dis
lance or the sight one catches of it is
poor. They defend the hunters and
say they do not believe MANY hunters
would knowingly shoot an elk at this
time The logical thing therefore, for
the fair-minded man to do is to be
sure he is shooting at deer before
he presses the trigger

Saves Money For
County By Paying
Bonds Before Due
County Treasurer KIenck Retircs
$4,000 Worth of Obligations and
Profits J12 Per Cent. Annually.

County Treasurer L. G. Klenck has
put over transaction during the past
few weeks whereby the county will
be saved no inconsiderable sum in in
terest charges. There had accumulated
in the sinking fund about $42,5 500 and
Treasurer Klenck conceived the idea of
getting bond holders to cash in the
bonds they held instead of waiting for
the maturity date He figured that per-
haps the holders of some of the bonds,
at least, would be glad to get the
money in these depression times.
Therefore he opened negotiations with
some of the bondholders in the East
and the first of the week got word
from them that they would cash in
$13, 900 worth on an arrangement
whereby the county saves 312 per cent
a year in interest. The bonds were not
due until 1883.

Libby Squad Captures
Western Championship
Wins Over Corvallis High School by IL to Score
Keller Made Libbys First Touchdown, Brown
the Second One Team Played Smashing Game.
(Reported for the Tamarack)

(Reported for the Tamarack)
Winning every one Of their confer
ence games Libby is now getting ready
for the semi-finals. Libby's smashing
line cinched another victory Saturday,
beating Corvallis with score of IL to
6. Although the Corvallis team out
weighed Libbys team 16 pounds to
the man, the Terriers with all the
fight and pep of previous games were
determined to win and they did.
Libby lost the toss and Corvallis re-
ceivcd making about a 9-yard return.
They tried two plays and punted out
Of danger. Libby had the ball on the
50-yard line and made about 5 yards
on two line smashes. They made few
first downs but lost the ball The Cor
wallis running attack was stopped.
They punted and Libby started an
other drive only to have pass inter-
cepted by Yerian, giant fullback of
Corvallis, who ran 40 yards before he
was stopped by Brown. Corvallis's sec
ond play was a tricky forward pass
formation that resulted in a gift
touchdown for them. Score 6 to 0 for
Corvallis Libby received and by
smashing off tackle plays carried the
ball for first down and lost i. on
downs on Corvallis's 20-yard line.
Libby started the second quarter
with bang. The Corvallis punter was
rushed and threw the ball wildly
where Millet Keller, stellar tackle Of
Libby, intercepted it and carried it
over for Libby's first touchdown. Try
for point was stopped Score 6 to 6.
After the kick off, Libby took the ball
deep in Corvallis territory only to lose
it on downs. Lamey, Hills and Schuy-
Ter rushed punt, it was caught by
Martin who, plunging hard, took the
ball to 2-yard line where Brown put
it over for IL to 6 score. A forward
pass failed for the extra point
During the second half Libbys goal
was in danger during the third quar-
ter because Corvallis came IN and COM
pleted S passes out of 8. Every time
Libby was in the shadow of their goal
they would dig their cleats in the turf
and hold them for downs. The last
quarter the ball see-sawed back and
forth with Rusher doing his usual
good punting A cold wind blowing
across the field carried some of his
punts back and also made it cold for
some Of the fans, but the Libby hackers
did not freeze because of their activity
along the side lines Corvallis's full
back, Yerian, was injured in the last
quarter
Hills, center for Libby, was captain
and Katarzy and Rowland ran the
team from the quarterback position
Rusher's punts averaged Al yards. The
shortest being IS yards while the long
est was SO yards. Both the line and
backfield played a good game.

any violence.

old man, about so, by the name OF
r. d. Cummins, of Seattle, whose dead
body was found Wednesday lying be-
tween the railroad track and river at
