MARVIN STRESSES
LIVING GREAT LIFE
Head of G. w. U. Addresses
Faculty on Eve of Annual
Student Registration.

Addressing the faculty OF George
Washington University last night at
Corcoran Hall on the eve of opening
of school registration yesterday, DR..
Cloyd Heck Marvin. president of the
university, said that live imagination
rather than abstract reason should
animate the teacher.
Imagination, color, and the happi-
ness of mental and spiritual freedom
are essential to the lives of teachers, F"
DR.. Marvin declared, urging the uni
versity professors not to forget, in
their ambition to be great scholars, the
more comprehensive objective Of living
q great life.
Informal Education.
The problem confronting American
colleges is not that of organizing sys-
TENS of formal instruction, but rather
of developing the young man or woman
as a citizen who is fitted to live in a
democratic state, DR.. Marvin said.
Such citizen, he said, must be an
individualist; must firmly believe in
freedom; must be truthful; must be
open minded, willing to consider every
point of view without personal prides
or prejudiceS entering into his judg-
ments; his character must be noted for
It's strength of purpose; he must have
a willingness and q desire to give him
self to a common cause; he must have
innate courtesy"
DR.. Marvin declared himself to be
''nlore interested in informal educa-
ton, those impressions that are pro-
duced through the impact OF personal
contacts: than in the formal training
that ordinarily we call college educa-
ticn.'"
College work needs to be readjusted,
he said, not to the end of system, but
so that system may be made the hand
maiden in offering opportunities for
greater fiexibility "All our work. even
tGElly, will be tested by but one meas
ure-how it has helped the lives that
have been intrusted to our guidance, ;"
DR.. Marvin said.
Glasses Open Wednesday.
He urged the faculty members mot
to let the facts you gather along the
wayside of study curb your magma
ton, or rob you of wings to soar, or
deprive you Of your faculty to dream
dreams"
President Marvin reviewed the
progress of the university during the
past year ard called upon the deans
and directors of the various schools Of
the university for announcements.
the new members who have joined the
faculty this year.
Registration in the university opens
this morning and classes in all schools
will resume on wednesday.

Rummage Sale
Brings in GOOdlY
Sum For Charity
Treasury Is Increased by $685. From
Proceeds-Thanks Public for
Hearty Cooperation.

The sum of $8262 was realized from
the rummage sale held Friday and
Saturday Of last week by. the Libby
Relief Committee. This money viii be
used in taking care of those who need
assistance this winter and will prove
a great assistance to the work the COM
mittee is doing
1.-THE committee feels greatly encour-
aged because of the hearty support and
cooperation the public is giving them
in this very necessary work" stated
Mrs. Walter Neils, chairman of the
committee. 1T is really surprising how
generously the public responds to our
calls for help. A large number of arti-
cles of clothing was donated for the
sale. The Womans Club building,
where the sale was held was crowded
Friday and Saturday with those who
wished to take advantage Of the sale
to secure clothing at prices they could
afford and the workers were kept busy
waiting on those who wished to buy.
We consider the result very gratifying
in view of the fact that we held a
similar sale few weeks ago and real
lied over a hundred dollars at that
time. The committee finds it pleas
ure to do this work when it is given
such generous support and we wish
+. to express our appreciation to the pub
lie for their support"

Forest Service
Lincoln County Receives
$l1,884.M for Roads and
Schools.
TOPS LIST OF ALL
MONTANA COUNTIES

Twenty-Five percent Of all National
Forest receipts are each year paid to
the states In which National Forests
are located to be apportioned out to
the various counties for the benefit
of roads and schools.
For the fiscal year ending June 80,
1881, the total amount paid the state
of Montana is $67 1888. OF this amount,
independent calculations show that
Lincoln county will receive $11, $500
This is considerably higher than re-
ceived by any other county in the
state. Madison county comes second
with $6,534OO and Beaverhead county
third with $6,34845 Thirty-five coun-
ties receive share, Lake county be-
ing the lowest Of those sharing with q
receipt of $3.50 Four counties receive
no share.
Over portions of the states of Mon

which this year receive an amount
greater than Lincoln county. Shoshone

E. N. Alley Says Tram Will

Spring.
PROBABLY NO ROAD
WORK THIS WINTER

Those who attended the meeting OF
the Libby Commercial Club, held last
night in the Woman's Club building,
had the privilege of listening to an IN
teresting address by E. N. Alley, presi-
dent and manager of The Zonolite COM
pany. President Joughin OF the Club
had asked Mr.. Alley to talk on The
Future Of Zonolite,' and Mr.. Alley
held the interested attention of his
audience as he told in quiet way OF
the plans the company has in mind
and the progress it is making.
1.-THE most important use to which
Zonolite is now being put said Mr..
Alley, is in the manufacture, COM
bined with gypsum, of an insulating
plaster. The product has proven high
ly satisfactory under the severest tests
and there is rapidly increasing de-
mand for it. While in the east few
weeks ago, a demonstration OF this
plaster was made by number of large
contractors, who gave It every test they
could think Of and they were all sold
on the product Most Of them have
placed orders for quantities OF it. This
opens an unlimited field for business
One can easily see there is an enor-
nous amount of plaster used and II

Escapes Serious
Injuries; Truck
Rolls Down Grade
H. A. Joughin Rolls 200 Feet Down
Mountainside When Auto Slips
From Highway.

H. A. Joughin tried rolling down a
mountainside with a truck last Thurs
day and came out of it with nothing
more serious than numerous painful
bruises-an accident that might easily
have resulted in his death.
He was driving to the Glacier Sill
ver-Lead mine when he lost control
Of the truck ON the slippery road just
before reaching the road that branches
down to the Frank Wegner ranch. The
car left the highway and rolled about
200 feet down the mountain, it is said
When the truck came to a stop at the
foot of the grade, Joughin states he
was in the bottom Of the car holding
tight to the shifting gear-with his
glasses still on. The cab to the truck
was completely demolished, a total
wreck, with long jagged splinters that
would easily have pierced a mans
body Otherwise the truck did not
seem to be badly damaged
Joughin succeeded in extricating
himself, climbed back to the highway
and started back to town, although he
was not in any too good condition be-
cause Of his injuries. After walking
two or three miles he was met by Mel
win Paulson, who was driving out to
the Wegner ranch where he is now
staying. He picked up the injured man
and took him to his home east Of Lib
by Mr. Joughin seems none the worse
for the experience aside from several
painful bruises and numerous black
and blue spots, some of them about
the head and face.

Are Surprised
At Large Sum
Paid In Taxes
Apparently Hard Times Has Had Little
Effect in This Matter-Morc Than
Half Of Amount Paid

County Treasurer Klenck is out with
some more interesting figures regard
ing collection of taxes in this time of
business depression. He gives a COM
parative statement, which will surprise
many.
In 1890 the amount Of taxes in trust
and agency funds and county funds
totaled $373, 6O977 At this time last
year, there had been collected, $l9l,-
37488, or little more than half.
This year, 1881, the amount of taxes
in trugt and agency funds and county
funds, is $376, 79509, and up to Deem
Der Is, this year, there had been col
lected in taxes the sum of $50, 479.85,
still little more than Aalf Of the total.
As taxes on real property are due
half in November and half In May,
it can be seen that tax payments IN
Lincoln county make very good
showing and do not indicate the real
business depression under which the
county is suffering Evidently people
have money with which to pay their
taxes.

Halls Filled With Dancers-Large
Cash Prizes Offered.

are to be awarded in connection with
it. On December Is, 229 cash prizes

ers of lucky numbered tickets. The
first prize will be $4,000, the second
S25.OOO the third $4,000, and other
prizes graduated down to $500. Prob
ably from two to three million tickets
have been sold over the country for
the Moose charity balls and for the
prizes. The profits derived from the
venture are to 60 into the work the
Moose lodge is conducting at Moose
heart in caring for orphans and old
people.
There were approximately $50 tickets
sold in Libby and vicinity, which
means cash outlay of S425. Of this
sum, approximately $40 is retained
by the local lodge out of which the ex-
penses OF the dance must be paid The
balance, or $285, has been sent to the
headquarters of the organization at

The Trojan squad has played num-
Der of games this season and has
gathered much experience so far. Of
their two games with Noxon they won
one and lost one. Many fouls were
made during each game.
With few veterans and nearly all
experienced men, the Terriers have
improved greatly since the first turn
out, but being the first game of the
season and away from home little can
be said as to how the team will play.

lads who made the first three teams
have shown that they could play foot
ball and now they have received their
reward
In the Whitefish and Kalispell games
Peterson and Brown showed that they
could always meet the crisis
Martin in the Eureka and Corvallis
games was the mainstay of the line.
