SPOKANE.-"The recent advances
in the price of hogs means about $50,
600 a year to the farmers in this re-
gion, as far as Armour & Company is
concerned" is a statement credited to
Mead Hadley. sales manager of the
Spokane branch Of that company, who
also reports stimulated sales, and con-
tinues. The firm buys about $4,000
hogs year and imports 125,0C0 more
from the middlewest, products that it
would much prefer to purchase here,
keep the money in the territory and
at the same time reduce the expense
OF hauling.
Added to this is cheering. report
from Montana, by Harry Cunningham,
of Helena, president of the Montana
Life Insurance company.
Montana will have the greatest field
feed crop for livestock in its history.
The first crop of alfalfa is out Of the
way and other hay all put up. The
state will have wheat crop Of about
so, 900 600 bushels, as against an esti-
mate Of 73,500O00 on June /, owing to
deterioration Of the spring wheat crop
in eastern Montana.
This compare. with crop sf more
than 100000 last year and an all
time bumper harvest in 1928 of 49,
100000, he said.
There is a glimmer of sunshine in the
copper industry, hope is running high
that mining is on the verge Of turn,
Mr.. Cunningham said. 1t was under
stood the Anaconda company had pur-
chased 80 cars OF copper metal from
the International Nickel company Of
Canada shortly before the tariff on
copper became effective, in a program
of hopping up cheap metal. Five cents
a pound was the asserted price. The
Anaconda also is credited with having
disposed of all its surplus zinc, and
with having no more than six months
supply Of raw cooper on hand
This was not regarded as excessive
as three months are required from the
time copper is mined until it reaches
market

Troy,Libby
Men Discuss,
Road Matters
To Join Forces in Endeavor
To Secure More Funds
For Construction
MUCH MORE MONEY
WILL BE AVAILABLE

A delegation from the Troy chamber
of commerce met Monday afternoon
in Libby with the board OF directors
and highway committee of the Libby
commercial club to discuss what coop
erative action could be taken to Sc
cure more money for the Libby-Troy-
State Line project of highway No. Z
The matter was thoroughly discussed
and it was decided to exert every effort
through petitions and otherwise, to OBJ
tain additional appropriations for this
highly important project.
It is understood more federal money
has been appropriated to the forest
service for highway construction, III
order to provide labor for relief pur-
poses The plan is to make drive
to obtain fair share of this money.
Later a meeting was held with the
county commissioners, who were in
session at the court house, and they
agreed to do what they could to as
sist in this effort to obtain more funds.
Those composing the Troy delegation
were Ed. Weidner, H. w. Ford and
Ralph Akin.
The matter OF making an attempt
to secure an appropriation of state
gas tax money for another project
south Of Libby was discussed. The
Libby officials decided to attempt to
enlist the assistance Of Kalispell in ask
ing for funds to start improvement OF
that portion of highway No. 2 lying
between the two already finished sec
tons at McGregor lake and the Elk
Hill project. A committee composed of
A. A. Wood president Of the club. =.
T. Jaqueth, Jean Riley and J. A. krall
was appointed to visit Kalispell and
attempt to secure their cooperation.
The committee visited Kalispell Tues
day. The Libby delegation report that
they received cordial welcome at Kali
ispell and that the Kalispell board OF
directors stated they would be glad to
do everything they could to help get
money for highway No. 2 at any point
between Kalispell and this city
E. Jaqueth and Jean Riley was APP
pointed to visit Kalispell and attempt
to secure their cooperation. The COM
mittee visited Kalispell Tuesday
The Libby club will also exert every
effort to secure survey of the high
way from Libby to the Elk Hill prof.
ect. No work on that section can be
done until after survey is completed
and local men are anxious to have
the survey completed that ad-
vantage may be taken of any funds
that may be available for construc-
ton in the future.

been cut on Henry Ford's Brazilian
rubber plantation, and which have been
brought to the United States for use
in cabinet-making. Other rare and
new varieties of tropical woods which
may be expected to come into use for
making fine furniture because OF their
beauty Of color and grain, and their
hardness, are Muiracoatiara, Abiu
Branco, Massaranduba, Amargaso,
Angelim Pedra, Sucupira Amarelia,
Pau dArco, Jutahy, Uxy, Tatajuba and
Itauba.
The pursuit Of new and rare varie-
ties Of wood fit for the use of the cab.
inetmaker is one of the most interest
ing fields of adventure, in which hun
dreds of men are engaged. A single
log which can be cut for veneers may
be worth thousands of dollars; ship
load of certain South American woods
would be worth comfortable for
tune.
There are still millions of square
miles of forests which have never been
explored, and the men who can dis
cover in them new sources Of fine
woods can name their own price, al
most for their finds.
SOIL and soiIless crops
They've been experimenting with
"soilless' farming at the University OF
California, and have proved pretty
conclusively it seems, that most crops
can be grown without any soil at all,
All that is needed is water and fertii-
izer
All that makes one soil different from
another is the kind and quantity OF
plant food--nitrogen, phosphoric acid
and potash-that each contains I'M

ries, tomatoes and other vegetables are
grown in some parts of Florida where

mountain, all the way on ore. A dam
is also being built at the outlet of
Bramlet lake which will raise the level
of water II feet in the lake and will
thus give much more water and more
power for waterpower installation on
the property.
The Tip Top is a gold property on
which considerable exploration work
has been done. 1t is gold property and

Lightning Storms
Endangeting Woods

In the national forests of Region One,
man-caused fires numbered rs for the
10 days between July ii and 20. OF
these, 18 were caused by careless camp
ers and smokers; and only moderately
dangerous weather conditions, together
with fast action on the part of forest
fire fighting agencies kept these down
to small sizes.
Lightning storms over parts of west
ern Montana and the western slopes Of
the Bitterroot mountains, Saturday and
Sunday, showed many strikes-over
100 occurring on the Lolo forest alone
but most OF these were in high coun-
try where the ground cover is still
moist. Few fires were reported from
these strikes, since the storms were
accompanied by light rains. II is prob
able, however, that such fires as were
started are just family smoldering,
burning too little to show up, but with
continued drying weather in the next
day or two a number of these will
flare up. In any case, continuation of
the prevailing high temperatures and
winds will soon dry the forests to the
point where fires will start readily
and spread rapidly.
Fifty-five fires are reported in the
Region for the July 1l-20 period, bring
ing the seasons total to III fires. Of
this total number, four were Class c..
or over 10 acres Little damage was
caused to merchantable timber, al
though two Of the fires consumed for
age in demand for livestock.

CAMPhIEETTNG CLOSES
AFTER SUCCESSFUL SESSION

The fifth annual campmeeting of the
Church Of God, held at the camp
ground one mile west of Libby, closed
Sunday night and was great sue
cess as was proven by the large at
tendance and the spiritual manifesto
ton in all the services, and by the Cod
" fellowship and unity that was shown.
Those failing to attend missed real
treat in singing and special music. The
choir was composed of the young peo-
pie from the different congregations
and were about rs in number. ]. Joyce
of Plains was the music director. There
were $500 meals served in the dining
hall, much larger average than in
previous years, with all expenses paid
Plans are being perfected at this
time to improve the grounds before
the next meeting by installing lights,
enlarging the dining hall and other
improvements to make the place more
attractive and convenient.
This is the only general assembly Of
the Church of God for Montana, Wy
oming and northern Idaho and should
be a great benefit to Libby and vici-
nifty as it brings large number of out
siders here for 10 days or more. As
a natural consequence there is more
or less money spent here that would
90 some where else if they spent their
10 days vacation at resort or stayed
at home.

Outside of the black disk of the

100000 miles, from the body of the
