WEIGHT MEN FARE WELL
In TRACK TRAINING

Spring. Now is the time when the
slim. tall athletes are contesting for
the right to compete in the tri-school
track meet.
Last Monday IL sweat suits were
issued to the best looking prospects
and now training for the track meet
has begun in earnest.
So far the weight men have far out
distanced the running men in work
The weight boys have been throwing
the shot and the discus all over the
lot and the javelin nearly as we'll
But just because the weight men have
been doing such excellent work it
does not mean that the runners are
very far from it. 1t means only that
the sprinters and milers are not coming
along SO fast as the weight men. How
ever by the time the track meet comes
off they will be as good as any run
ner or athlete in the tournament and
maybe better.

Making Big
Improvement in
Libby Streets
Are Being Graded, Dragged and Oiled
Following Out Plans OF Present
Administration.

Undoubtedly Mineral avenue is right
now in the best condition it has been
for number of years, due to a fine
piece of work done under the direction
of George Neils, of the city council,
assisted by Chief of Police Green, and
with John Kuklinski operating some
of the machinery. The street was gone
over and drainage opened by one
man, gas-operated grader rented from
the forset service and operated by
KuklinsId. This was followed by a
large, heavy drag pulled by big
"cat," the property of the J. Neils
Lumber company. That outfit proved
very efficient and soon had the street
through the main business district
graded down in fine shape. Tuesday
afternoon the street was roped off from
First street to Lincoln boulevard and
an application Of oil made. The street
is now in excellent condition More
oil will be applied later.
California avenue was also graded
and will be oiled soon Other streets
over the city are being similarly treat
ed, the grader being operated by Kuk-
linski and the drag under the direc-
ton of Neils and Chief Green. A
crew of men were put to work rakine
off oversize gravel that had been
turned up by the grading.
This is the beginning of the street
improvement program the present city
administration has in mind. From
present indications, it would appeal
the program has much merit.

Highways
Relocating Of Montana's
Roads Has Saved Big
Mileage.
ESTIMATES A SAVING
OF $3.50, 900 YEARLY

HELENA, April 12.-Thousands OF
Montana people who plan to vote for
Referendum No. IS next May 5, will do.
SO in order that the State may be saved
millions of dollars in federal aid high
way funds which otherwise would Be
lost.
But other millions of dollars will be
saved as result of favorable action On
the measure, which the average mot
orist does not realize will be effected,
according to the Montana Automobile
association.
To many who drive cars good roads
are just pleasant adjunct to motoring,
instead of a money saving convenience.
Few motorists realize the saving -
their pocket books from improved
highways.
For those the latest report of the
Montana Highway commission offers
some interesting figures, showing whist
savings have resulted from roads which
already are improved. These figures
may be doubled for those who seek in
formation as to the benefit to be de-
rived from Referendum No 35, for that
will practically double the improved
highway mileage in Montana
The State Highway commission esti-
mates that through the shorter mileage
of federal aid roads, as compared with
the former county roads, motorists In
Montana have been enabled to save
S3,650.000 year or an average of $10,-
900 day The report says:
ut is estimated that in the improve
ment thus far accomplished on our
federal highway system 200 miles OF
distance has been saved by the re-
location and Strengthening of highways
by federal aid construction. That is to
say, the state construction ON improved
routes is in the aggregate 200 miles less
in length than were the former coun-
ty roads and trails following the same
general routes. The saving in money
due to this shortening OF distance Is
very considerable and is threshold.
There is first the saving in cost OF
construction. which averages for a
graded and gravelled surfaced road
between $1,000 and $4,000 per mile.
Second, there is the perpetual saw
ing OF maintenance of 200 miles OF
highway, which costs at present about
S215 per mile per annum, and which

TROY AND LIBBY MEN
I'm BASKETBALL LEAGUE
Eight Teams In International League
This Year-Discuss Plans AT
Ronners Ferry.

That Lincoln county, Montana, will
be in the International baseball league
again this year, is evidenced by the
fact that c. w. Petty and j. B. Farris
Of Troy, together with several ball fans
from Libby, have been invited to at
tend baseball meeting at Bonners
Ferry next Monday evening, says the
Troy Tribune, AT this time plans will
be perfected for the formation of the
league on a larger scale than last sea-
son. During 1880 four towns were rep
resented in the league, Standpoint, Bon
ners Ferry, Creston. B c., and Troy.
However, this year it is intended to
add Newport, Washington, Priest River,
Idaho, and Kimberly and Cranbrook,
B. c., Cahada, to the league and make
eight tanms instead of four
1t sbelieved Troy will be short of
both players and finances for the COM
ing ball season, and MIR Petty
will manage a team from Troy and
Libby combined which will probably
be known as the Lincoln County
team.
So far Mr.. Petty has signed up for
the season such. baseball artists as
Guy Noels, the WOLF brothers, Les
Kensler, Rudy Morn, Messers. Tiggle-
beck and Cameron. and several others
whose names have not yet been given
out
Noels and Morn are both old timers
on Troys diamond and together with
Lee and Les Kensler have added many
honors to the local aggregation.
Ejvoar ord Walter WOLF and Mr.
Cameron, of Libby, were the topnotch-
ers in last years local club, and pulled
the team out Of many tight hole.
while Mr.. Tgglebeck assisted ably in
helping Standpoint win last years pen
nant in the international league.
These players, together with several
others who are yet to be picked will
give Lincoln county one OF the fastest
teams in the league, and should be the
winners Of the season

Plants so Acres to Trees.

During the past week a crew Of forest
service men, under the direction Of
A. B. Bowman, finished planting about
so acres in the Granite creek district
to four year-old yellow pine seedlings.
The tract planted lies close to the old
King place. About 4l,0O0 trees were
used Fifteen men were employed five
days, all local men.
The work was partly re-planting
of a tract that was planted in 1929
but that did not do well because Of the
dry weather. Some OF the work was
planting additional ground. Mr.. Bow
man says the ground is in excellent
condition this spring and good results
should follow.
