Has Been Passed.

Bottom of the depression is behind

grade, If gross receipts from national
forests of Montana and northern Idaho

ton, according to figures released to-
day by the regional office of the u
S. forest service at Missoula
Gross receipts for the period men
toned are higher than for the similar
period Of 1880, it is said. This increase
is not large, but it is an increase

will be sufficient to complete the YELL
lowstone Trail across the state. Appro-
prioions were allotted to two projects

from year to year, as the other large
projects are completed

Entering Five Homes.

The mystery surrounding the series
OF burglaries that had been committed

two burglars readily admitted their
guilt and later confessed TO number
of burglaries in Libby, Troy and Bon
ners Ferry. !
Bion and Wayne Anderson, with their
parents, had been residents of Libby
at various tlmes--for a number of
years. They left Libby on Monday,
October II, giving out that they were
going to Kalispell Undersheriff Sperry

two young men and upon their de-
parture made some inquiry and found
they had gone west instead of east. He
also learned that Mrs Anderson, wife
of Bion, had followed them to Bonners

itinerary increased Sperry's suspicion.

kane papers and learned that the An
dersons had been caught at Spokane

the Libby work and was ready to wire

To the Editor, Western News.
Dear Sir
! am enclosing a notice which
wish you would run in your paper fol
the next five weeks.
My reasons for prohibiting hunting
and trespassing are that | have hao
valuable stock killed by hunters and
my residence buildings struck by high
powered rifle bullets.
There is no excuse for trespassing
ON a small tract of land such as own
when there are tens of thousands OF
acres of good hunting territory in every
direction from Libby which are un-
occupied and unfenced.
am not alone in having depreda-
tons committed on my property. AL
most every farmer or rancher in this
vicinity has had occasion to resent
the liberties taken with and on his
property, 1t would seem that the local

terest itself in this matter in an eff
fort to protect the farmers and Others
