he developed recently with G. B. Sa-
bine of Cornell. He evaporated chro-
MUM to produce q special mirror for
observing spectroscopically the invisi-
Bile ultraviolet light from the corona.
Fate was kindest of all to the jap
anese expedition from the Toxic I'm
perial Observatory, under Prof Okuroh
Oikawa. They came the longest dis
tance Of any expedition and selected
Bartlett, N H. for their site.
But bad luck prevented them from
reaching Bartlett, so they settled down
at Alfred Me. There the seeing was
perfect, while Bartlett was in the mid
die of the cloudy belt where numerous
important expeditions had their hopes
wrecked. In a brief statement after
the eclipse the director described the
Japanese work as "eminently satisfac-
tory"
Caught Bands on Sheet.
Evidently there are "puddles" in the
air. Some astronomers reported the
shadow bands" were entirely missing
while others sighted them clearly. These
bands are shadows ripping over earth
d
of the atmosphere on light similar to
that of water when shadows can be
seen fitting across a sandy bottom.
At Portland Me, John 0. Lunt, OF
the Weather Bureau, said he not only
saw but measured the bands. They
were wavy lines, one-quarter of an inch
wide He caught them on sheet.
Two eminent astronomers charged
that the celestial express" the moons
shadow, was late. Two or three seconds
behind schedule, said DR.. Frederick
Slocum of Wesleyan University, OBJ
serving at Center Conway, N. H.
Ten seconds late said DR.. Philip Fox.
director of the Adler Planetarium, Chi
cago, who observed at Island Pond, vt.
Something must be done about this
tardiness, in the opinion of astronomers,
for extremely refined accuracy about
the moons motion is the basis OF
practical calculations used by man, and
particularly of the tide charts used by
sailors.
New Cell Measures Light.
This was the first eclipse to have its
changing volume of light measured by
a new type Of photo-electric cell. In
spite of the clouds, said DR.. Harlan T.
StetSon of Ohio Wesleyan University,
these observations promise important
means of checking measurements Of
the distances Of the stars.
Present estimates of the almost in
comprehensive size of the portions Of
space visible in telescopes is based
largely upon measurement of rays of
light coming from distant stars and
from still more remote luminous bodies
named simply "distan. objects"
The Harvard expedition was among
the perfect seeing" groups, and its
members returned to Boston enthusi-
astic in the belief they had a new
grip on some of the mysteries of what
composes the corona. They obtained
this information by measuring "polari-
cation" of coronal light in a manner
which may prove how much of it Is
reflection from solid particles shoot
ing off the suns surface like popping
corn.

Will Explore Cave.

A party of some seven or eight Libby
men are leaving today to explore a
large cave lying well up in a mountain
above the Kenelty ranch and back of
the Manicke school house. They expect
to snowshoe in to the cave today and
spend the night in the cavern. They
have taken a gas lamp for lighting pur-
poses and are we'll armed in case they
should disturb bear or bears inside
the cave.
Partial exploration Of the cave here
tofore has disclosed very large room
soon after entering through narrow
chamber. A well was also discovered
SO deep that a rock dropped into il
could not be heard to strike bottom.
The present party expects to solve all
the mysteries. In the party are Will

was termed Ladies Night when the
wives and friends of the members were
guests of the Lions This organization
has won reputation In Libby of stag
ing lively entertainment at all its meet
ings and none Of that reputation was
lost at the Monday night affair. From
the moment when the assemblage sat
down to the dinner table up to the
singing of Good Night, Ladies by
the Lions three hours later there was
not a quiet or uninteresting moment
during the entire evening.
The pleasant affair was held in Wood
men hall, with fine dinner served by
the staff Of the Turner Tavern, 48
Lions and Lionesses being present The
evenings program was under the eff
cient direction of a committee COM
posed of Harold Miller, Lloyd William
son and George Hayes who worked
hard and very successfully to provide
an enjoyable evening.
As soon as the assemblage was seated
at the tables the fun started Tail
Twister Russell was soon circulating
about the tables with his eagle
eye searching for causes for the
imposition OF fines for transgressions of
real or imaginary violations of the
rules. 1t is needless to say that he was
successful in numerous instances.
George Hayes started a juggling feat,
attempting to keep II eggs in the air
but only succeeded in breaking one Of
them over his fingers when in exasper

over his startled audience, many Of
whom lodged vigorously to miss con-
tact with the flying eggs. A later ex-

Officials Hope
To Be Able To Aid
Irrigation Project
Would Like to Get Lands Back ON Tax
Roll and Help in Farm
Development.

County Commissioners Millegan of
Eureka and Monio Of Troy were "
Libby Monday and with Commissioner
Brink were in special session consid-
ering matters relative to lands of the
Glen Lake Irrigation company OF Eu-
reka on which taxes have become de-
linquent The meeting was called at
the request of representatives OF the ir-
rigation company's bondholders. Two
OF these representatives were IN Libby
to confer with the county commission
ers. They were Conrad Graves OF Spo-
kane and D. A. Kennedy of Eureka
Graves is an attorney representing the
bondholders and Kennedy is the local
representative of the company at Eu-
reka.
Much Of the land of this district has
failed to pay out under the plan orig
inally drawn when the irrigation com
pany was formed, and the land is sub
ject to sale by the county for taxes. A
goodly portion of it has been abandoned
by the original owners. Those holding
the bonds of the district have been
attempting to work out plan whereby
the land can again be placed on the
market and sold under such terms and
conditions that the purchasers will be
able to pay out on the project and
make a success of the farming venture.
The county commissioners, as repre-
sentatives of the county, are interested
in getting the land back on the tax
rolls, thus helping to bear the tax
burden of the county, and also assist
ing in the upbuilding of an important
section of the county.
Much of the day was spent Monday
in threshing over suggested plans,
with County Attorney blackboard ad-
vising the county commissioners in re
gard to legal phases No conclusion was
reached at that time and further study
is being given the matter

Examinations are over for the first
half year and everyone is relieved.
Students have spent much time, tha
last week before exams, studying in
dustriously SO they might pass.
Teachers, too, have their share Of
anxiety, to say nothing of hard work.
Questions and more questions to be
made out, then stacks of papers to be
corrected and grades recorded. Tho
teachers work isn't the easiest to be
imagined.
Students may have been disappointed
in grades. If SO this should be an in
centive to work harder this semester.
We have a new half year before US and
should resolve to not neglect lessons
or leave themes till the last week, By
SO doing grades may be improved and
lot of needless worry avoided.

Builds Community
Hall In Swamp
Creek District
Organization Formed and Board OF
Directors Elected-Elwin Manicke
Is President.

The residents of the Swamp Creek
district have joined in the construction
of a community hall that will be open
for the use of the public for any
thing Of a community nature. The
building was recently completed and
last Saturday night an organization
meeting was held there.
The building is fine log structure
located at the upper end of Schneider
lake right where the old road leaves
the new shortcut constructed year
or two ago. 1t is 28x38 feet in size. 1t
is reported that the workmanship on
the building is exceptionally high class
and that it makes a fine building in
every particular The log type Of build
ing is especially appropriate for its set
ting-in the midst of high mountains,
with lake at its doorstep, so to speak,
and surrounded on all sides by the
dense forest. Hardwood lumber is now
on hand for floor but this will not
be laid until after the building has
had time to thoroughly dry out
Last Saturday evening board OF
directors was elected for the new COM
munity organization, the five chosen
being Elwin Manicke, B. g. Erick-
son, John Schneider, Harvey Shelley
and Floyd Bowen. The directors organ
lied with the election of Edwin Man

tary, and Harvey Shelley, treasurer
No name has yet been chosen for the
organization, but that will be done
later. Following the meeting Saturday
dancing was enjoyed

CITY TO START
ROCK CRUSHER

The city council of Libby, in cooper
alton with County Commissioner Brink,
is working out plans to handle the
growing need for relief in this immelH-
ate vicinity. 1t is believed that the next
60 to so days will prove the worst a
the winter from the standpoint of those
needing relief, and the purpose Is to
provide means whereby this needed 70
lief can be extended to those deserv-
ing of it and really in need Of assist
ance.
Under the plan now being considered
the city will provide work for a num-
Der of men at rock crushing plant
to be established near the Charles
Marshall place west of the city. The
crushed rock will be placed ON two Or
three blocks in the business district
probably on the two blocks lying be-
tween Second and Fourth streets on
Mineral avenue and on the block be-
tween Third and Fourth streets on
California avenue. The extent, however,
of this work will depend on the sum
of money that will eventually be avail
able.
1t is understood the j. Neils Lumber
company has agreed to donate the use
of its rock crusher and the caterpl-
lar tractor to operate 1t. 1t will be
necessary to purchase an attachment
for the tractor whereby it can be used
to operate the crusher and If that at
tachment does not cost too much, the
work will undoubtedly be undertaken
County Commissioner Brink has
agreed to assist in this worthy enter
prise by having certain amount Of
work done now instead uf waiting until
next summer He has in mind improve
ment of the highway north Of Libby
and lying about opposite the Bob Bak-
ker ranch
Under the plan we have in mind

be provided for heads Of families who
have been able to secure only limited
amount Of work for the past year and

Kalispell Man
Is Taken Into

Said to Have Obtained
Money Under False
Pretenses.
AUTO HAD FAKE

AL Campeau was arrested at Troy
Tuesday and brought to Libby yester-
day upon a wire being received by
Sheriff Baney from Kalispell asking
that the man be held It is said he is
wanted at Kalispeu on charge of hav-
ing obtained money under false pre-
lenses
Campeau reached Libby about 6
o'clock Tuesday morning, having been
driven here by one giving his name
n Alex Tryba. The men took room
at the Libby Hotel and later spent most
Of the day around town, Campeau fl
nally leaving for Troy After his de-
parture, Sheriff Baney received the
message from Kalispell and learning
that the man had left for Troy caused
his arrest there. He was brought to
Libby by Constable Roscoe Garrison
and was taken to Kalispell today by
Flathead county official.
Campeau gave Landlord Gay what is
alleged worthless check in payment
for the room and also similar check
to Tryba for driving him to Libby. He
attempted to buy clothing here, ten
dering a check for the purchase but
the check was refused. He is about 23
years old.
Another strange thing is that the car
Tryba was driving had two fake IL
cense plates ON it Examination showed
that two 1880 plates had been taken,
the "O'' in the date nattened out and
81" soldered over it and then the plates
had been painted the correct white and
black colors- 1t was fine piece Of work
and would pass inspection anywhere.
When caught, Tryba alleged that he
could get the money at Kalispell to pay
for 1881 license as well as one for
1882 and with the promise that he
would do so he was allowed to depart.
His car, which he had left at the Libby
Motor garage for repairs, will be held
until he produces the money
