HAVE COURAGE.

The j. Neils lumber manufacturers
Of Libby are to be congratulated for
starting and keeping the mills running
although they were compelled to lay
off those men who were not married.
This tends to relieve the unemploy-
ment situation
Their yards are filled with lumber
for which there is no sale, and if they
consulted their own best financial in
terest no doubt would let their mills
remain idle.
The outlook for the lumber industry
at present has no sunny side
Ordinarily the shipping out of lum-
Der begins about this time of the year
and continues into the summer. But
up to now the business is said to be
SLOW"
There is no big demand for lumber,
for the country at present is at stand
still and no building is going on be-
cause of business depression.

Electric R. R.
From Libby
To Mines
Don't Get Excited That
Was What Was Being
Talked Is Years Ago.
TROY THIEF CAUGHT
IN A LIBBY HOTEL

The big item of news in the West
ern News of January II, 1906, told
about the possible construction Of an
electric line from Libby to the mines
south Of town The town was all agog
over this possible development.
The Montana Miners Electric Rail-
way and Power company had filed
articles Of Incorporation, with head
quarters at Seattle, Wash. The Seattle
Daily Times said the company was
authorized to operate electric lines in
Washington, Idaho and Montana, but
was primarily incorporated to OPP
crate an electric line from Libby to
suburban towns. The incorporators
were W. r. Sharpe, IT. w. Luders, C..
R. Fairman, all of Tacoma; H H. How
ard of Auburn and A. j. McCorkle Of
Montana. The capitalization was $780,
GOO.
The Western News of that date said:
Capt. McCorkle has bond on the
Buzz Saw mine and is now working
that property. He also has a bond on
some other properties in this district
and is reaching out for more. In con-
nection with these enterprises he has
organized this railroad and it is the
beginning of an enterprise which may
be completed within a reasonably
short time, if the statements Of those
directly interested are considered.
"The exact location of the line is
not known. 1t will probably make for
the Snowshoe mine, at which there is
always lot of traffic and generally
follow Libby and Cherry creeks to
that point. A branch will probably take
in the Shaughnessy hill mines and the
Cherry creek placers will be made.
The line will probably be extended
to the Silver Cable and the Howard
placers and later on into the West
Fisher gold belt"
The paper tells about someone
breaking into the D. r. Wood store
at Troy and making away with about
$3.50 in money and va1uables Three
men were suspected, two of whom
were caught in Troy by Constable
Morrison and turned over to the sher-
Tiff at Kalispell The third one got
away but was pursued along the rail-
