GotWaIS Finds Steel Still I'M
properly Guyed Despite
April 22 Mishap.
ASKS STRONGER BRACES
AT GORn"-' JUNIOR HIGH
Stricter Inspection Planned-Other
Nine Jobs Visited by Engineer
Commissioner Approved.

In spite of the collapse of steel work
at the new Roosevelt High School April
%, steel construction at the school was
found still improperly guyed when the
work was visited yesterday by Engineer
Commissioner John C. Gotwals, making
a visit to IL of the school jobs now un-
der construction. Maj. Gotwals ordered
that additional guy wires be strung
from the steel work now in place and
that the wires already up be tightened.
Stronger bracing OF wooden forms
into which concrete is poured at the 10
room addition at the Gordon Junior
High School was also ordered by Mai.
Gotwals, to prevent repetition OF the
accident at the Stuart Junior High
School, where the pouring of concrete
into poorly constructed frames resulted
in a collapse earlier in the week. Other
wise, the jobs visited were approved.
Maj. GotWals. however, decided that
stricter inspection would be necessary
in future, and plans to send inspectors
from the building inspectors office on
periodic tours of the school projects.
Normally the building inspectors conflne
their attention to private construction
work and have no jurisdiction over
school or other municipal projects. On
account of the importance OF the con-
struction Job at the new Roosevelt
School, Maj. Gotwals also decided to
increase the inspection staff there.
On his tour, Maj. Gotwals was &C
companied by Assistant Engineer Com
missioner H L. Robb and Lieut.. B. K.
Schilling. one of Mai. Robb's subordi-
mates, and a group of newspaper men.
In all, IL school projects and the new
Nurses Home at Gallinger Hospital were
visited and inspected. The work under
construction presents a prospective out
lay of about $4,50O,O0 The following
is list of the projects visited:
The Roosevelt High School, the Cor
don, Stuart, Charles w. Eliot, Alice Deal
and Hugh M. Brown Junior High
Schools; the Charles Young Platoon
School; the A. j. Bowen, Congress
Heights and Deanwood Elementary
School additions and the new athletic
field at Dunbar High School.

This is that theater the muse loves best
All dramas dreamed are acted here
The roles done in earnest, none in Jest
Hero and dupe and villain all appear
Here falSehood SkukS behind an honest mask
And witlesS truth lets fall a saving word
AS the blind goddess tends her patient task
And in the hush the shears of fate are heard
Here the slow-shod avengers keep their date;
Here innocence uncoils her snow-whte bloom;
From here the untrapped swinde walks elate
And Stold murder goes to meet his DOOM
o stage more stark than ever Shakespeare knew
What peacock playhouse will contend with you?

LIBBY AUDIENCE GIVEN
FINE MUSICAL TREAT

Libby people who attended the con-
cert Wednesday given by the Royal
Russian Chorus enjoyed a rare treat
and a concert that is not often possible
to hear in the smaller communities
The chorus is under the personal d.
rection Of Princess Margarita Slavian-
sky, and the two programs given here
one in the afternoon and one in the
eveninp-were a happy blending of
classical and popular selections and
Russian folk songs, with several char
acteristic dance numbers. There were
several very good voices in the chorus,
the choral work being exceptionally
beautiful in harmony and tone. Prin-
cess Slaviansky is accompanied by her
daughter who acted as accompanist
and who sang several numbers, hav-
ing very beautiful voice.
The concert was given under the
auspices of the music department Of
the Libby schools and while the re-
ceipts did not quite reach the small
guarantee, the small deficit will be
made up from the money received in
prizes by the art exhibit of the school
at the state fair. The object in engag-
ing the chorus was to give Libby pu-
pils-and elders as well--an opportu-
nifty to hear music Of unusual and
exceptional merit.
At the close of the two concerts
many from the audience met Princess
Slaviansky and her daughter.

State Employees
Asked To Donate
For Relief Of Needy
One Days Pay Each Month for Six
Months Is Requested-Expect Same
Request of County Officers.

One of the plans by which the state
of Montana expects to raise funds TO
take care of the needy this winter is
to ask all state employees receiving
regular salaries to donate for that pur-
pose. During the past week Deputy
Game Warden Darlington received a
request from Helena to allow the hold
ing out of one days pay each month
for six months, from his salary, the
same to be applied to relief purposes.
Mr. Darlington readily granted the re-
quest. Mr.. Darlington states that if all
state employees consent to this dona-
ton, several thousand dollars will be
raised each month by that means for
the help of the needy. He is inclined
to think that later the same donation
will be asked from all county officers
and possibly also from school teachers
There are thousands of people in the
state, especially in the drouth stricken
districts, who will have to be fed and
clothed this winter. The problem is to
raise the necessary funds. Some aid
is being received from the federal gov
eminent but it will become necessary
for the state to raise large part of the
needed finances.

Little Interviews
Favors Closed Season on Birds.

Fay0rs Closed Season on Birds.
What do you think Of the ruling
that cuts out all chicken hunting this
fall2' the reporter asked Deputy Game
Warden Darlington the other day. IT'S
not bad ruling" replied Mr.. Dorring-
ton. While we have quite nice sup
ply of birds in this county, yet closed
season for another year will do no
harm. Naturally there are some who
object to the ruling but I believe they
would not offer SO much objection if
they understood the reasons inpelling
the state fish and game commission to
close the season"
The sportsmen of Flathead, Lake
and Sanders county all wanted closed
season on native pheasants," continued
the game warden. 1t really became
necessary for the commission to grant
that request. If they had left Lincoln
county open to hunting, one can easily
see what would happen. Numerous
hunters from these adjoining counties
would motor into Lincoln for little
chicken hunting and our supply Of
birds-which is none too plentiful
would have been sadly depleted"
Native pheasants have been making
nice increase" said Mr.. Dorrington
Il get reports from forest rangers, fire
fighters and others who spend much
time in the mountains They all report
that more birds have been seen this
summer than for many years If the
coming winter is favorable there should
be great supply of birds by the time
the next hunting season rolls around"
