Has Large Fund
For Assistance Of
Libby Firemen
Over $500 Accumulated to Take Care
Of Men Injured While Fighting
Fires.

Probably few citizens of the city
are aware that the Libby Volunteer
Fire Department provides relief for
any Of its members who may be injured
while in performance Of their duty,
stated Fire Chief A. M Hoffman while
in conversation with the Western News
reporter this week There is some in
teresting information in connection
with this work." stated Chief Hoffman.
THE Libby fire department was the
first one in the state to take up this
work Of providing relief for any mem
bers injured while fighting fire and
the Libby city council was the first
city to appropriate money from its
general fund for that purpose. This
was done by the Libby council until
few years ago when state law was
passed which gives to fire departments
for relief fund certain percent Of
all premiums paid for fire insurance
protection in the respective cities. This
fund is under the control Of the state
to . certain extent, and can be paid
out only for compensation to injured
firemen.
This Is a worthy work." continued
Chief Hoffman, and II is no more than
right that some such provision should
be made for the men who are liable to
injury while protecting the property
and lives Of the citizens Of commu-
nifty At present the department car
ries blanket insurance policy pro-
tecting all its members from injury,
under the present compensation law,
and the premium for this protection is
paid from the fund that Is accumulat-
ing. 1t was few years ago that one of
Libby's firemen broke a leg while
fighting fire and while he did not
call for his compensation, it would
have been there for him had he needed
it."
Ray Pival is treasurer OF the Libby
organization and stated, when asked,
that the department now has on hand
about $500 in this protection fund
AS indicative of the ease with which
accidents may happen to firemen--and
serious accidents at that-the following
true incidents are recounted.

1882 Elections
Give Promise
Of Being Lively
Hard Times Always Lend
Asperity to Political
Campaign.
POLITICAL POT
Is WARMING UP

The year of 1882 promises to be a
lively one in political way. A presl-
dent and the usual grist OF national and
state officials are to be elected Be-
cause of the long continued business
depression, it is generally conceded
that the national election will be char
acterized by more than the usual in
terest and asperity. 1t is probable that
some of this unusual interest will man
fest itself in local as well as in state
politics.
City Election Comes First.
Libby will have genuine interest
in the city election this year which
will fall on Monday, April |. At that
time it will be necessary to elect a
successor to the present incumbent,
Mayor Elmer Switzer, whose term ex-
pires. Also successors to three alder
men must be chosen, to succeed Alder
man Ostroot of the First ward, Alder
man Krall Of the Second ward and
Alderman Crotteau of the Third ward
None Of these men has yet made any
statement as to standing for reelection
but it is probable there will be strong
demand that they do 50. The Libby city
council has made an enviable record
in debt reduction during the past and
succeeding administrations, they are
giving the city business like conduct
of affairs, and many citizens will con-
slider it only good business to keep
good officials in office just as long as
possible. In addition to mayor and
three aldermen, a city treasurer and
police magistrate must also be e1ected.
Char. I. Young Ii the present city
treasurer and J. w. Haigler is the police
magistrate.
Two School Trustees.
The annual school election also
comes in April and two trustees are

Body Under Iron
Gaping.

Frank Windmaiser and VIM. Shaw of
Spokane arrived in Libby the first Of
the week and will soon take up the
further extension Of the tunnel on the
Victor property in Granite gulch south
OF Libby. These two men have taken a
contract to drive the tunnel to the re
gion beneath the large iron Gaping
that is in evidence on this property,
where it is confidently expected a body
of high grade ore will be encountered.

property several years ago.
During the past year, Chas- Good
sell, mining engineer of Spokane, sur
veyed the property and it is estimated
that the ore body will be reached with
about another hundred feet of tunnel
Both Windmaiser and Shaw are ex-
perienced miners and Windmaiser has

The Junior league of Waterbury
presented THE Steadfast Tin SOL
der" at the Waterbury Women's
club Saturday afternoon, large
Juvenile and enthusiastic Audience

represented also and took keen
delight In the story of Peter as did
the youngsters. The play was under

cey.
The story Of 1.-THE Steadfast Tin
Soldier" Is concerned with Peter,
a little boy who Is tired of mani
mate toys and longs for something
alive. His disappointment is great
when he receives a set of tin SOL
diers, but what tin soldiers they
turn out to be. And his other toys
become animated at the same time.
All this was nicely enacted by
members of the Junior league. Mrs
julius =. Smith led the singing be-
tween the acts and acted as mar
rator. explaining the action Of the
play. Every child present was pre-
scented with n lollypop.
The costumes were very effective
from the trim suits Of the tin SOL
diers to "a jack-in- the box. The
dances for the piece were arranged
by Mrs Robert r. Munger. Robert
Larkin acting as pianist.
The cast was composed of the
following: Helen Bryan, Miss Marie

Official Orders
Due Wednesday
Much Interest in Proposed
Changes of Traffic
Officers

Until the plan of relieving sew
eral of their duties and assigning
them to street duty az patrolmen
receive more consideration no off,
cial orders will be posted at police
headquarters until Wednesday or
Thursday of the present week. 1t
had been expected that the pro-
posed changes as outlined last week
would be come effective today.
There Is considerable interest In
the contemplated action of Super
intendent Joseph Fl. Mclean. The
plan has the approval of the board
of police commissioners and has
been practically officially adopted.
The hold-up at present Is In the Sc
lection of the men to be transfer
red from the traffic squad to street
duty. The local traffic squad is
considered one Of the most courte-
GUS In the country, numerous let
tiers of praise being received from
tourists residing in all parts of the
country.
For u traffic man to be transfer
red means that he will work seven
days IL week. Traffic men have Sun
days off. TO be deprived of the
Sam Brown belt, puttees and all
the fine regalia OF the traffic SER
vice Is likely to make some of the
boys little bit displeased. An
nouncement of the plan being
adopted caused a number OF them
to consult their favorite commits
sioners. This fact has complicated
matters, but Superintendent Nc
Lean stated today that the official
news sad news for some. would
be announced within two or three
