CAPT. JOHN HOWELL
 RESTS COMFORTABLY

Capt John Lowell, who in a fall from the City Wharf to rock that had been dumped near the Muni- cipal Gridiron, suffered broken ankle yesterday, is resting com fortably in St. Ann's Hospital. The fracture was set by Dr. H. c. De- Vighns, who in his automobile had taken the injured man to the hos pital.
 Capt. Lowell had stopped at the railing at the edge of the wharf to look at the part of the gridiron being filled with rock The rope on a tackle block of apparatus that was used in lowering rock to ths gridiron broke, and the railing against which Capt. Lowell was leaning gave way. He lost his bal- ance and fell.

ported to be far richer than any Englishman, would trot out the gold plate for Lucfllian banquetS in the fine ambasSadorial home presented to his government few years ago by J. P Morgan "The answer, broadly speaking, is in the negative" as they say in the House of Commons.
 Even if MT. Mellon and his as- tractive daughter, Mrs David K. E. Bruce, who is his official hos tess, were inclined to elaborate entertainments-which they never have been-they wouldn't indulge in these hard days when the wolf is bowling about many of the elite doors of England
 July Reception
 The Ambassador and Mrs. Bruce of course will do certain amount of entertaining, especially in pri- vate way but thus far tley have made few plans It is probable that their first official reception will be July 4, when prominent Americans will be invited to cele - brate Independence Day.
 The great event in the life of any Ambassador is an intimation that the King and Queen wish to dine with him. An Ambassador may not extend such an invitation out must await the Royal com mand.
 Exceptional Honor
 As matter of fact, if the Sov- ereign does dine with MT. Mellon it will be an exceptional honor, since their Majesties rarely dine out. It is much more probable that the King and Queen will have tea with MT. Mellon and inspect his art collection.
 For such affairs Mrs. Bruce will be official hostess. But she does not have the status of an Am bas5adress. For example, she can not present American women at Court, as did Mrs Dawes, even though she herself has just been received at Buckingham Palace Only the wife of an Ambassador may perform that function.

NEW YORK, June 15.-The fi- nancial market pushed quietly but steadily forward in response to banking advices that the drain upon American gold stocks was virtually at an end.

 Taking up the quick step, the Republican delegates marched and shouted in a 20-minute demonstra- tion for Hoover as Chairman Shell paid a tribute to the President.

 They agreed then to say noth- ing of any prospects Ley had found and to defer stalking until plans for development could be perfect cd.
 Shortly afterWard, MT Mitchell, Mir. Eastman and MT Byerly re- turned to Detroit Mitchell organiz- cd and financed the present com pany, the capital subscribed being variously estimated from $75,000 to Sl50,000. They have transport cd a large amount of supplies to Tulseqaah, from which they eX- pec5ed to operate into the Liard area and have established an air plane base at Tulsequah.
 Subscribed S250 Each
 The group of Juneau residents with which MT Stenbraten is now associated subscribed $250 each, or a total of $2,000, to finance the present plane-staking venture.

 Got Away at 5:55
 The Chichagof got away at 5:55 a. m for Carcross, B. C., as it's destination. It reached there in an hour and forty-five minutes It landed MT. Stenbraten and MT Bernard, and, after stay of three hours, left to return here, arriving at the local hangar at noon.
 In passing over Lake Atlin, the Chichagof was observed by the four Detroit planes. The plane that had left here this morning rose from the lake and followed the Chiehagof. The Detroit air craft with Pilot Burton and MT. Mitchell, reached Carcross about 45 minutes after the Chichagof
 Still at Carcross
 When the Chichagof left Carcross at 10 this morning for Juneau the Detroit plane was still at Car cross, but it was making ready to go back to Atlin Lake, MT. Eek mann declared. Whether it's pur- pose was to enlist the other three planes in the Detroit squadron in a nasty aerial stampede to the Liard district before MT Stenbra- ten and MT Bernard could reach there is not known to Mir. Eek mann.
 Before leaving Juneau, MT Sten- braten telegraphed to Whitehorse for Canadian plane, based there, to meet him at Carcross. He and MT Bernard planned to fly today to the Lisrd area today.
 Expected Quick Stalking
 We shall have our stakes in the ground by tonight" Mir Stenbrat en said here this morning.
 The Canadian plane had not ar rived at Carcross from White horse, when the Chichagof left Carcross, but it was expected there momentarily.
 Under Canadian law, a plane with an international license can fly between an American and a Canadian port but it cannot oper- ate between Canadian ports. Only Canadian planes and Canadian li- censed pilots are allowed this inter Canadian privilege.
 The so-called Detroit planes are Canadian licensed and have Can adian pilots.
 The airplane race now for the Liard goal is said to be the result of a disagreement that arose last week between the leaders of the Detroit group and MT. Stenbraten.

Developing of P Practic a l Televisiion Shows

Associated Press Radio Editor)
 NEW YORK, June 15. - The longer it takes to develop practical television, the less chance there will be for the development of la boratories whose resources are at low ehb.
 This situation has been brought to the fore in the current season with the lessening of activities from which the home experimenters de- rived considerable benefit through his ability to tune in pictures prac- ticaily all afternoon and evening.
 However, from the standpoint of the laboratory, there does not seem to be much of a letdown. particularly in the ultra short wave experiments. It is largely in the field Of e0-line experimental broad casts where there has been a lagg- ing of concentrated interest.

policy or oversight on the part of the county
commissioners in those first years of the
countys existence?
Since that time lot of taxable property
has left the county. We cite the leaving of
the Brooks-Scanlon sawmill at Eureka, the
sawmill of the Warland Lumber company at
Warland, the Great Northern freight division
plant at Troy, the Snowstorm mill at Troy,
and all the thousands of feet of logs the Bon
ners Ferry Lumber company floated down
the Kootenai river and out Of the county
during those five years that they paid moth

erty that has got out of the county since
those five years that we do not recall at this
time.
The significant result is that all these
wealthy moneyed interests ESCAPED paying

All these bond issues were for legitimate
purposes and were not unusual in the case
of new counties getting started
But right here is an interesting historical in
cident that u Of very real interest and signif-
icance to every taxpayer living in the county
at this time
The law plainly states that when county
puts out Z bond issue and thus incurs bond
indebtedness. it MUST at the same time levy
= tax to create fund with which to pay off
the bonds when they become due.
But in spits Of the fact that the law states
that such tax levy MUST be made, the simple
historical fact is that those early day county
commissioners DID NOT MAKE one single
cent of levy TO ga into bond sinking fund
and DID NOT MAKE any such levy until
FIVE YEARS after the first bonds had been
issued Then in 1916, we find that they i'm
posed the small levy of three quarters of a
mill to start bond sinking fund, after FIVE
YEARS had gone by without any such levy
being made.
Now what is the result of that mistaken

In this short series on county financial mat
sers we wish to give some interesting histori-
cal data in this weeks issue, data that Is
highly significant in its bearing on the pres
ent day tax question
Lincoln county was organized and came into
being on July /, 1909. At that time the state
law stipulated that the fiscal year for coun-
ties should end on November 30 of each year
Therefore the first annual statement to be
issued by the Lincoln county clerk and re-
corder was as of November &c. 1909.
On that date the clerks report showed that
the county had warrants outstanding of $685.
5s8.5l. On November 80, 1910, warrants out
standing had increased to $50, 1901 This
was the natural warrant indebtedness that
was necessary to be incurred by the new
county in getting started and until such time
as taxes could be collected. Included in that
amount of outstanding warrants was an In
debtedness of $52,3400O owed to Flathead
county, as Lincoln county's share of the in
debtedness Flathead was owing at the time
Lincoln county was created
Western news and the Libby times. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1920-1933, 1932-06-23

On March /, 1911, Lincoln county issued its
first bonds, thus creating its first bonded in
debtedness- The bonds sold were in the
amount of $4,000 and were issued to take up
some of this outstanding warrant indebted
ness.
Then on January l, 1912, the county issued
$125,00O00 worth of bonds for the building
of the Kootenai river bridges at Rexford, Lib
by and Troy and for some road work.
On November H. 1919 Lincoln county
again issued bonds, this time In the sum of
100000, these also being funding bonds,
issued to again take up warrant indebtedness
which had again climbed to $80,84526 That
left the county with total outstanding bonded
indebtedness at that time of $281, 10000. These
were all to run for 20 years, optional at IS
years, the first two bearing per cent interest
the last one 5h per cent interest
On July l, 1918, the county again issued
bonds in the sum of $48,0OooO with which to
build the county high school at Eureka. These
bonds were for 20 years, optional at 10, and
bore 511 per cent interest

VIII Continue
Geological Work
This Summer
DIR. Russell Gibson Arrives Saturday
and Will Spend Season on u. S.
Geological Survey.

Or. Russell Gibson, of Harvard uni
versity, arrived in the city Saturday
and will again spend the summer here
doing work for the U. S. geological
survey in this district. This is the
fourth summer that Dr. Gibson has
spent here in this valuable work
DR.. Gibson will be assisted in the
work here this summer by John H.
Moses, graduate student of Harvard
university, and later in the season he
expects to have other trained helpers
The task of completing a geological
survey of any district requires long
and careful work. Not only do all
known mineral deposits need to be
visited, and mapped but the entire
country is gone over and its geologi-
cal structure studied and later de-
tailed maps are made from the data
gathered. All sections are included ir
the work whether or not they contain
any mineral After a seasons work ir
the field, many hours are given tc
laboratory work during the winter
months, in the analysis and examina-
ton of rock specimens

THREE STORAGE BINS
ADDED TO ZONOLITE PLANT

Three large storage bins are now
under construction at the Zonolite
plant, designed for the storing of crude
Zonolite prior to its shipment. These
bins will each be of $50 tons capacity.
New screening machinery is also be-
ing installed in the top of the plant,
states E. n Alley, president and gen.
eral manager The crude Zonolite will
first be passed through the kiln at a
medium temperature and the mois-
ture content removed. 1t will then be
elevated to the top of the plant and
passed through the screens and graded
as to size, after which it passes into
the bins now being built for storing
until being shipped. The new improve
ment involves an expenditure of about
5000, states Mr.. Alley.
