Builds Short Road
To Assist Proposed
Rural Mail Route
Commissioner MOnio Says GA Tro,
Patrons Will Be Served If Petition
Is Granted.

According to County Commissioner
George Monio OF Troy prospects are
bright for new rural mail route out
Of Troy. The necessary applications
have been filed with the department at
Washington and it is confidently be-
lieved they will be acted on favorably.
The proposed new route is about ~
miles in length and will serve from SO
to ga people To make the route comply
with postoffice department require
ments, it was necessary for Commits
sioner Monio to build two short
stretches of new road, totaling about
three and a quarter miles. However,
the work was easy construction, says
Mr.. Monio, and only required about
10 DAYS to finish. Besides meeting the
requirements of the proposed new rural
delivery route, the road connects other
highways and saves lot of mileage
for people travelling from one section
to another in that district. 1t is prov
ing great convenience to large num-
Der of people.
In addition to this work Mr.. Monte
states he is cutting off sharp curves ir
MANY places and thereby Strengthening
the highway. He says there is much
more Of that work he would like t
do but shortage Of finances forces ;
slower pace than he would wish. Tit
country is badly in need of more rain
both for crops and for road work, say
Mr.. Monio.

Baker Says His
Correspondence Is
Getting Too Heavy
MANY Hunters Are Writing Him
Claiming to Have Wild Animal
Heads of Unusual Size.

Bob Baker is finding out that he
has too much correspondence.
He is also learning that advertising
in the Western News brings altogether
too many replies.
He had this paper publish tale a
few weeks ago and now Bob is being
swamped with mail.
He hereby sends out an S. Q. 5.
for relief
The tale referred to is that one pub
lished few weeks ago to the effect
that Kermit Roosevelt had written
Baker asking for records of big game
heads taken by hunters. Those having
any big heads Of game were told to get
in touch with Baker. Bob says the
response was SO great that he can not
handle the correspondence.
So he again asks the Western News
to come to his assistance. He wishes
to tell all those who have written him
about this matter that their names
have been turned in to the COMMITTEES
in New York city which has this in
curry in hand and that undoubtedly
Lincoln county men will receive letters
direct from the New York committee
He says he received 80 many letter.
he couldn't begin to answer all OF them
so takes this method of getting word Il
the hunters. Wait for letter from
New York, he says You will undoubt-
edly receive full instruction from thu
New York sportsmen.

Take Testimony in Behalf
of Better Service.
ASKS NOS. l AND Q
BE STOPPED HERE

Lee Dennis and Leonard c. Young
of the state railroad and public serv-
ice commission, accompanied by u.
Paul Van Dyke as their stenographic
reporter, were in Libby "Wednesday to
take testimony III the application of a
number Of Libby men asking for an
order requiring trains Nos. | and 2
of the Great Northern to stop at Lib
by. Railroad representatives present
were w. c. LaBertew, division super
intendent, OF Whitefish: G. F. OHara,
assistant general freight and passenger
agent, of Helena; and Hans Walchli of
Kalispell, attorney for the railroad.
Blackford & Blackboard of Libby were
attorneys for the plaintiffs.
r. r. Veldman of Libby was the
principal witness for the plaintiffs and
presented much valuable testimony up
holding the reasons for their petition
for better service. He had number
of exhibits and gratis prepared to sub
stantiate his testimony. The conten-
ton Of the plaintiffs was, chiefly, that
the present passenger service is made
quate, that Libby is losing valuable
business thereby, and that the Great
Northern is amply able to provide
better service without unreasonable
burden to itself To substantiate these
points MIR. Veldman showed the fol-
lowing:
That the Empire Builder train trav-
els at an average speed of IS miles pei
hour between Blackfoot and Spokane
That the leading trains OF the Northern
Pacific travel at an average speed o.
40 miles per hour between Butte anc
Spokane; also that the N. ?. makes
more stops than the Great Northern
in the same distance.

of stops from St Paul to the coas
made by all the principal trains. Thi.

that the N. P. makes IL regular stop:

The G. N. has the least mileage be
