Origin of Common Expression

The expression ito put a spoke in
the wheel" would suggest adding
strength to wheel, although actually
the saying is used to indicate that
somebody's progress has been barred.
1t has its origin. no doubt, in the
far-off days when vehicles had solid
wooden wheels. Holes were made in
some of these so that the driver who
wished to put on the brake could do
so by pushing through one of the
holes piece of wood, called spoke,
and thus prevent the wheel from re-
volving.

SELLS CHEMICAL PLANT
PROPERTY AT EUREKA
kirkpatrick Bros of Kalispell Are Pur-
chasers at Bid OF S22I0W

The old chemical plant at Eureka
was sold Tuesday by Lincoln county
for taxes Only two submitted bids
on the property. Sheriff Frank Baney
opened the bidding with an offer of
$4,000. The bidding continued until
Kirkpatrick Bros. were the buyers at
$4,000. Baney was interested in the
property chiefly because it adioins
other land owned by him and its pos
sion would provide water for a pas
ture. After the sale of the property to
the Kalispell firm, he purchased the
land and a shed or two on it at a price
of $500 an acre.
Others who attended the sale but
who did not bid were Fred Marks of
Rexford and H Mccullough and F. E.
Sabin of Eureka.
It Is understood Kirkpatrick Bros.
will wreck the buildings on the prop
erty.

InEntertainmentOf
King and Queen
Tells About Rodeo Put on for Their
Benefit When the Royal Couple OF
Siam Visited Banff Park.

Mr.. and Mrs. W. ]. Darlington are
in receipt Of a letter from their daugh-
ter, Mrs. G. B. Brewster, who with Mr..
Brewster is on the Kanannaskis dude
ranch in Banff park. Mrs. Brewster
writes that they had the pleasure re-
Gently of entertaining the king and
queen Of Siam and while the royal
couple we're at the park, a rodeo was
staged at the dude ranch for them,
which evidently was much enjoyed by
the king and queen.
1t will be remembered that the king
and queen of Siam have been touring
the North American continent for the
past two or three months. They visited
the United States, when they were
entertained by President Hoover while
they were in Washington, and when
they received much attention in the
various cities they visited The king
underwent an operation at John Hop
kins hospital for the removal of cat

alton proving highly successful. Later
the royal pair visited Canada and it
it was while they were stopping
at the Banff park that they were en-

Beaver Dams Hold
Back Water Needed
By Ranchers
Farmers Cut Dams and Let Water
Down for Use of Their Stock
Would Trap Beaver.

Many of the smaller streams Of the
district are entirely dry or nearly 50
as result of the exceptionally dry
season. This unusual condition is caus-
ing more or less trouble and annoy
ance to stockmen and other ranchers,
as it is depriving them of water for
their stock in many instances
Some of the ranchers on McGinnis
meadows have been bothered with this
shortage Of water and upon following
the stream to its source they have
found that beavers have damned the
upper stretches of the different streams,
said dams holding back goodly
amount Of water They have made
complaint to Deputy Game Warden
Darlington and have expressed them
selves as considering it would be d
good thing to trap out the beaver
MIR. Darlington differs with them and
is of the opinion that the beaver really
are good thing for the water supply
under present adverse conditions. He
says that if it were not for the dams
built by the beavers the streams would
have run dry much sooner than they
have; that the ponds on the upper
stretches have acted as reservoirs and
that water seeping from them has
slowly and gradually worked down
stream. sa
However, he suggested to the ranch
ers that they rob the beavers of their
water supply and use it as long as it
lasts or until fall rains again replen-
ish the streams. His plan was for the
rancher to build a temporary dam in
the dry stream at his ranch and then
60 up and cut hole in the beaver
dams, thus allowing the water to
escape and flow down stream to the

YOUNG GIRL DOES VALIANT
WORK FIGHTING FIRE

Miss Jennie Bowen CompIimented for
Her Untiring Efforts on the Fire Line.
That Miss Jennie Bowen, daughter
of Mr.. and Mrs. Floyd Bowen, is en-
titled to the highest commentator for
her untiring zeal in helping to fight
the forest fire south Of town last week
is the verdict of a number Of men who
witnessed her efforts. Report has
reached this paper to the effect that
Miss Bowen and some seven or eight
young boys worked all day and into
the evening carrying five gallon pals
Of water from the river to the men on
the fire line. That is strenuous work
and shows willingness to buckle in
and do ones bit that is highly COM
mendable.

Golden West Mine
Plans to Continue
Work All Winter
Will Soon Have Three Drills in Opera-
ton Blocking Out Ore Bodies
Provisions Being Laid In.

M. E. Schouweiler and John Lovick,
two of the directors of the Golden
West mine, visited the property Mon
day and upon their return to town
report that work is still progressing
nicely III blocking out ore bodies.
A tunnel cut into fissure vein the
past week toward which workmen had
been driving. The vein runs from three
to four feet wide where cut and stands
at an angle of about 10 degrees. An
other fissure vein was picked up where
1t is crossed by the river and was
trenched back several feet from the
bed OF the river. This vein runs about
four feet wide where uncovered. An
other tunnel is being driven to cut
a fissure vein somewhat below the
Little Annie lead
Two drills are now being worked
by two crews on eight hour shifts and
arrangements are now being made to
start a third drill In the Immediate
future.
The work of blocking out ore bodies
will be continued all winter. A stock
OF provisions is being accumulated and
sufficient fuel oil for the DIESEL engine
to last during the winter will also be
at the mine before snow makes travel
impossible. A winters work at he
mine will make possible the blocking
out of enough ore to prove the prop
erty. 1t IS confidently expected that Ly
next spring there will be enough ore
in sight to warrant the operation of
the mine on definite basis

Shoots Yearling
Bear That Hangs
Around Fire Camp
Little Brown Bruin Had Become Great
Pet-Was Regular Visitor and
Never Caused Any Trouble.

J. D. Brooks and Dave Foster shot
small brown bear Monday evening
near the camp of the Northern Mon
tana Fire Association at the Flower
creek dam. The bear is about a year
ling and has fine hide for this time
of the year.
The little bruin had been loafing
around the camp for several days and
had wormed his way into the affec-
tons of the men who had been fighting
fire there. They report that he was
just like pet dog, friendly and chum-
my. He would come into camp and
pick UP scraps around the table and
never attempted to modest anything
except once when he reached onto the
table and took bite of butter and also
bit candle in two. One night he
stepped over one Of the men sleep
ing on the ground and did not attempt
to modest him in any way. At another
Tune one OF the men was sleeping with
his back against log. The bear came
along, laid down on the other side of
the log and had a snooze also
Visitors to the camp had learned of
its presence and number Of hunters
from town appeared with guns ito get
that bear" Whereupon the camp cook
got wrathy, SO it is said, drove the
hunters away and told them he would
cut in two with a cleaver any man
shooting that bear. However Messrs.
Brooks and Foster were convinced
that some hunter would get the little
bruin after camp was broken up, so
decided to avoid any chance of its
being cruelty wounded and shot it
through the head

Entering Forests
Campfire and Other Permits Nc
Longer Necessary-Asks Public
to Use Care.

You may announce to the public
that all restrictions in regard to enter
ing the forests are removed was the
word received this morning from For
est Supervisor Webb of the Kootenai
forest. 1T will no longer be necessary
to obtain camp fire or other permits,
nor will one be required to carry tools
when entering the forests"
However it is recognized that there
will probably be considerable more dry
weather and those entering the forests
are urged to use all due precaution
from the fire standpoint.

Libby will leave for Whitefish Satur-

Rains Greatly
Lessen Forest
Fire Danger
Crews Are Reduced to Only
a Few Men on Patrol
Duty.
COST OF YAAK
FIRE WAS HIGH

While the rain of Tuesday night was
not heavy enough to completely ex-
tinguish the forest fires, it was quite
general over the local forest and damp
ened things down in fine shape, says
Forest Supervisor Webb, who has re-
turned from the Yak fire after spend
ing several weeks there battling the
worst blaze this district has seen for
a number of years. In many places the
duff is many inches thick, stated MIR.
Webb, and the fire will burn in such
material for weeks. Before the rains
it was as dry as finder and it takes
a lot of rainfall to wet down through
anything that is SO dry However, the
rains were of great assistance and it
is not expected the fires will run any
more this year.
The Yak fire was trenched a week
ago Wednesday night and they have
been laying men off ever since then.
All the fire fighters would be out of
that district Wednesday night, he said,
except the comparatively few men who
will be kept in the area until the fire
is definitely extinguished All other
fires over the forest are either put out
or on patrol basis, said Mr. Webb.
Asked regarding the probable total
cost of fighting the Yak fire, Mr.. Webb
said, Il haven't much of an idea as
yet regarding the cost of that fire, but
! would estimate the cost will be about
$25O0OO.'

Because of adverse comment regard

made by James A. Ford, managing
secretary of the Spokane Chamber OF
Commerce, and reported in Spokane
newspapers, L. S. WEIGH. as chairman
OF the highway committee of the Lib
by Commercial Club, wrote Mr.. Ford
mildly criticizing Mr. Ford for his re-
marks and asking if ii would not be
much better for Mr.. Ford and his or
ganization to work for better highways
here instead of publicly knocking them.
Mr.. WEIGH suggested that inasmuch
as this district is a vital part of the
Inland Empire, and with much bust
ness going from it to Spokane, it would
be only wisdom on the part of Spo-
kane to help develop this section and
help boost its highways
Mr.. WEIGH received long letter
from Mr. Ford, in which he expressed
his regret that the papers had pub
icly quoted him and assuring Mr..
Welch that Spokane has lively in
terest in doing what it can for the de-
velopment of this section. MIR. Fords

Dear Mr. WEIGH
! have your letter Of August 3lsa
with reference to the comments I made
before our Publicity Committee, re-
garding the road from Glacier Park to
Kalispell, Troy and Libby.
| was very sorry to see the Review
quote anything about what | said as
was merely discussing the matter in
formally with one of our committees
and not making any speech or COM
ments for publicity.
On the other hand, want you to
know that I appreciate what Mon
tana is doing in the way of road con-
struction and | made it plain to our
people the problem you have before
you-with. the tremendous large state
and only 100000 people to pave the
roads. 1t is real problem and think
Montana is doing a wonderful job and
is entitled to congratulations.
The thing however, that impressed
me most unfavorably is that every
where went in Montana with the ex-
ception of your highway, work is go
ing on. Take for example the road
from Livingston to Great Falls. This
road has been constructed but is not
being abandoned and / found two or
three blades going over the road keep
ing it in shape. Every place if-Mon-
tana we went we found some work,
either construction or maintenance 60
ing on but from Bolton to the Idaho
line we found no work going on. This,
!. thought, was most unfortunate.
