Calls For Helpers
For Work at Libby
Fish Hatchery

II is time to begin building those
rearing ponds at the Libby fish
hatchery and as this newspaper
stated several weeks ago, a call is
being sent out for volunteers to
help in this essential work. The
state hatchery here is developing
into a real asset to northwestern
Montana and there should be
liberal response to this appeal for
help.
W. f. Dexter. president of the
Libby Rod and Gun Club, has the
following announcement to make:
'The Libby Rod and Gun Club IS
to help excavatc for rearing ponds
at the fish hatchery. Every MEM
Der is asked to show up Thursday
evening, July 9Th, with a shovel.

Building these ponds will mean

A Note Of
Appreciation

The splendid spirit Of coopcra-
ton on the part of the general
public with the fire protective or
CARNATIONS was evidenced over the
Fourth Of July holiday.
With many hundreds of local
residents enjoying the double holi-
day for camping and picnicking
and the numerous tourists passing
through this region the danger
from the use of fire crackers and
smokes seemed very evident.
The urge for special care with
fireworks and smokes as published
in this paper last week met with
genuine cooperation by the public.
No fires were experienced by the
Kootenai National Forest on the
fourth or fifth Of July and only two
fires were handled by the N. M.
F. A.
The officials Of the Forest Service
and the N. M r. A. appreciate this
cooperation on the part Of the pub
lie in prevention Of man caused
fires.
With the weather becoming hot
ter each day and the humidity rap
idly becoming lower dangerous fire
weather is becoming more evident.
Unless heavy rains arc soon re-
ccived great care must be exercised
il we are to prevent fire In the for
csts and the continued cooperation
on the part Of the public Win be
greatly appreciated

Why the Northern Route?

SPOKANE. - Daily news reports
chronicling the various flights of round
the-world aviators mention that they
flew over the northern route" An i'm
portant fact that people of the Inland
Empire and the northwest should re-
member
The northern route is chosen be-
cause it is the shortest the farther
south, the longer the circle, the greater
the handicap of ocean navigation and
navigation in the air.
This is but one factor in a state of
world affairs which is prophecied by
many men of world affairs. These men
hold and express the conviction that
the Pacific is to become the great stage
Of world progress. The star Of empire
will take its orbit across the northern
part Of America, its brightest beams
will fall on the northwest.

Burglar Gets.
$4,000 From
Service Station.
Has Easy Access to Safe and
Helps Himself to Three
Days Proceeds.
NO KNOWN CLUE
TO PERPETRATOR

The Rustic Service Station, w. F.
Kenitz proprietor, was broken into
Sunday night and the safe robbed of
approximately $3.50, states MIR. Kienitz.
Workmen had left unlocked the side
door entrance to the garage-in the
rear of the office, because a paddock
used for locking the door had become
misplaced. A door between the garage
and the office was easily opened as a
pane of glass was broken out of it and
one could easily reach through and un-
lock the door. The combination to the
safe had not been thrown SO that it
locked, and it was only necessary to
turn the dial back to a certain number
to open the safes door An inside door
of the safe was locked but that was
forced
A number of checks were in the safe,
but nothing was taken except silver
and currency.
Mr.. Kienitz says the reason for hav-
ing so large a sum in the safe over
night was because the preceding Fri
day had been pay day and he had a
supply of cash on hand with which
to cash checks for the public Saturday
being holiday, the banks were closed
which made it impossible for him to
bank his receipts until Monday. In ad-
dition to the three days receipts at the
service station, he had also taken in
three or four payments on cars. There
is no known clew to who committed the
robbery

Auto Rolls
1OOFeetD Down
Mountains
Two Libby Young People
Escape With Few Cuts
and Bruises.
TREE STOPS CAR
IN WILD PLUNGE

Two Libby young people had an ex-
perience they will long remember and
narrow escape from death which their
auto left the high road between Libby
and Troy Saturday night and plunged
down the mountain side a distance Of
about hundred feet before coming
to stop against tree. The young peo-
pie were Miss Marie Gompf and War
rem Brown. Miraculously both escaped
with only few cuts and bruises. The
accident happened about 1890 o'clock
Saturday night
The young people had spent the
Fourth at Savage lake. Shortly before
the accident Miss Gompf borrowed the
car, new Chevrolet coach, from John
koehler, and she and young Brown
started on ride toward Libby. They
had progressed into the narrow Koo-
tenai canyon about a quarter of mile
from the iron bridge at the lower end,
coming from the west and had
reached one of the highest and most
dangerous sections of the road when
the car left the highway. Miss Gompf
was driving. 1t is estimated that the
car turned over about three times and
was then stopped when it struck
tree, striking the tree about
Is feet up and sliding to
the ground, the car landing in an up
right position. The two occupants of
the car succeeded in extricating them
selves from the wreckage and climbed
back to the highway where they were
picked up by H. S. Brinton and
brought to Libby.
The Gompf girl received cut behind
one ear, two cuts on one leg and nu-
merous bruises. none of which were
serious Young Brown had cut just
above an elbow and also received va
rious bruises.
There is no explanation of the cause
of the accident II is said the highway
is sufficiently wide at that point for
safe driving.
The car IS practically total wreck.
Ii apparently landed upside down on
stump as it plunged from the high
way, as the top is ripped open and
there being stump in the path the
car took. A fire started in the uphol-
STEERING OF the top-probably from wires
leading to the dome light This, how
ever, was extingushed by Arthur B.

dent
Koehler purchased the car a short
time ago from the j. & c. Garage 1t is
understood it was covered by insur-
ance.

zonolite Company
Planning Program
Of Expansion
Will Consider Issuing Additional 1O0,-
900 Shares OF Stock at Annual
Meeting July %.

The regular annual meeting of the
stockholders of The Zonolite company
will be held in Libby on July Is and
in addition to the regular routine bust
ness another matter of Importance is
to be considered The board Of direct
ors is asking the stockholders to au-
thorize the issuing of an additional 100,
600 shares of capital stock-from $780,,
600 to 100000 shares. 1t is understood
that parties interested have agreed to
take the entire issue at par $1.00 per
share, the money to be used in build
ing tram from the mine to the rail-
road and in constructing treating
plant at some eastern central distrib-
uting point.
The plan has been approved by the
entire board Of directors, says Mr.. E.
N. Alley, manager of the company
who has sent letters to all stockhold-
ers explaining the proposition. Extracts
from the letter sent to the stockhold-
ers follow:
in addition to the regular business
to be transacted at the stockholders
meeting you are asked to consider the
proposition of increasing the capital
stock of The Zonolite Company by
100000 shares of a par value of S100
per share, this to be common, non-as-
sessable stock the same as the present
capitalization.
IF the proposition to increase the
capital is approved by the sharehold-
ers, large producing and manufact-
uring company engaged in the produc-
ton and sale of Zonolite and other
non-metallics has agreed to purchase
the entire increase at par.
THE proceeds made available by the
sale Of this stock will be used in
building a heat processing and manu-
featuring plant in the eastern United
States, and in the construction of grav
ity aerial tramway from the Zonolite
deposit to the Great Northern rail-
way.
@All of your directors approved of
this plan and are unanimous in direct
ing that this matter be brought to your
attention
1T has become increasingly evident
that cheaper method of transporta-
ton must be secured, and that pro-
cessing and distributing plant some
where in the east must be provided,
to reduce the cost of Zonolite to the
consumers, thereby developing suffi-
cient tonnage markets to make the
Zonolite enterprise profitable.
"The eastern development would
be owned entirely by The Zonolite
company, and in direct charge of an
experienced manufacturer and sales
man who has been successfully market
ing Zonolite products for several
years"
