Start Work 1t
Glacier Mine
VIII Devote Summer to Taking Out
Orc from Vein Recently Opened
No New Development Planned

I'VE have already started work at
the Glacier Silver Lead property,
said Il A. Joughin in conversation with
te Weston News Tuesday morning.
we will have a small crew at work
breaking down and taking out ore
from the rich vein uncovered some
time ago. This ore will be worked
through the mill
I'VE have had considerable trouble
from water" continued Mr.. Joughin,
and for q while | was afraid it might
carry away the power house. One af-
ternoon the snow was waist deep at
the mine. The next morning bare
patches Of ground could be seen. and
running water was coming down
everywhere. The accumulation Of this
water from the rapidly melting snow
made quite q problem for while.
MFR. Joughin was elected president
Of the company at its annual meet
ing this fall, and he and the other di-
rectors are planning active mining OF
! the property Mr. JouEhin said no de-
velopment work would be done a,
this time but that operations would
be confined to the taking out Of ore

Time With Old Time Dances.

A colonial tea program and play

Of the attendants recalled their youth
by joining in the lively square dances
as called in good old time by Archie
Hoffman and w. W. Blew who remem-
bered all about Promenade ALL "Sa-

Strange Egg Story

Here |. another unusual cGx
story, called forth by the print
Ing in these columns Of IN account
Of 4 number Of large cxxs laid by

story:

Editor Western News, Libby,
Mont-Dcar Sir: Having read in
the Western News Of the large csx
which one Of MIR. Bakers hens laid
has prompted me to tell my egg

About the first Of the year /
found in my poultry house what ]
thought was the largest egg ever
saw. Upon being measured ! found
that it was TIA by 81. inches.
Neither end was pointed but car
ried the size to rounded ends.
Upon being opened l found one
floating egg with no shell and one
perfectly sheIled egg Of normal
size. The hen that laid the egg was
an average sire r. L Red.
/ have several witnesses as to the
size Of both or all the eggs and still
have the shells in my possession.
Respectfully yours,

The Mountain States Power company
has filed a new schedule of electric
light and power rates with the state
public service commission, in answer
to the action of the Libby city council
seeking lower rates. This same schedule
had previously been submitted to the
council but was not acceptable, the
city officials standing out for a greater
reduction. According to estimates made
by the company, the new rates will
mean a saving to Libby light and power
users Of $1,000 a year. The new rates
become effective April /.
Mayor Switzer further announces
that another block on Boulevard ave-

The breaking UP of the ice Sunday
brought disaster to Ural and vicinity.
A steady downpour had raised the
river in an alarming degree and that,
together with the continued soft
weather brought about a premature
breakup. The ice started all at once.
Several ice jams up river raised the
level of the water to about eight feet
above normal winter level and it
crashed down through the gourge car
rying thousands Of tons Of ice on its
crest. The outer rim engulfed the ferry,
swept away skids and props and tore
at the ferry. For few moments the
craft gallantly rode the crest but the
strain proved too much FOR the an
chorage. The cables pulled clear and
1t was but few seconds until the craft
was torn from the stearing cables and
hurtled down stream. After being car
ried for about 60 rods the disabled
boat was showed up on the bank far
enough to stop its progress. In this
position it has been securely anchored
to await salvage The oldest residents
of this district never witnessed nm Ice
jam Of like magnitude. In 1917 jam
formed that WAS Is minutes in pass

High Water
Causes Ice
Jam In River
Unusual Sight as Warm
Weather Results in Early
Release of Ice.
LITTLE DAMAGE
DONE HEREABOUT8

A number Of people Of Libby were
treated to an interesting and unusual
sight Sunday afternoon when the win
ter's ice in the Kootenai river betweea
Libby and Re,dord broke up and be-
gan to move out This early breaking
up OF the ice was caused by the m-
seasonable warm weather and rains
that had caused heavy run-oH in The
territory south Of Libby-the Fisher
river, Libby and Granite creeks and
tributaries running bank full and over
flowing in many places.
This high water, it IS said, carried
jam of ice into the Kootenai from
Fisher river Sunday and the rising
water in the large river also broke up
the ice in the Kootenai and started
1t down stream The mass Of ice filled
the river from hank to bank and WINS
several miles in length. It arrived 1t
Libby about the middle of the after
noon and soon large crowd was
gathered on the bridge watching the
unusual and pretty sight
The river was solid mass of small
and large chunks Of white ice moving
steadily down stream with the cur
rent The ice foes varied in size from
small pieces to chunks Is to 20 feet
square. and from IL to Is inches thick.
The larger chuncks struck the bridge
piers with great force, shaking the en-
tire structure and causing a vibration
very noticeable to anyone standing on
the bridge As they struck the piers
the large floes would be Instantly
cracked into two or three pieces, 80
great was the force Of their onslaught
Sheriff Baney and family drove down
to kootenai Falls to watch the sight
there after viewing it from the bridge.
He states that ii was wonderful sight
at the falls although the ice had been
broken up considerably by the time
it arrived at the falls However, he
states that large chunks Of ice were
showed bodily out of the water and onto
the tops of the large rocks in the mid
die of the stream there. 1t is also re
ported that a large jam formed in the
narrow canyon below the falls but that
the water worked a passage beneath it.
Sheriff Baney states that returning
home he noticed the ice extended about
seven miles upstream from the falls,
which gives some idea Of its length
Another Flow After Midnight.
Another jam reached Libby after
midnight. Word Of its approach was
phoned to Road Supervisor Larney who
spent the rest Of the night at the bridge.
He says it required about five hours
for the second jam to pass.
The first Of the week County Com
missioner Brink drove upstream and
reports that in places huge pieces of
ice have been pushed out of the stream
onto the river banks. Piles of ice 10
feet high are resting on one Of the big
islands upstream.
Bob Baker lost one of the pontoons
to his pumping plant but he says the
loss was not great He had the pump
ing plant pulled out onto the land
where he thought it would be safe but

Will Put Men on Highway.

While in the city Saturday County
Commissioner Monio stated that he
planned to put few men on his end
of the Kootenai canyon road to remove
the ice in the worst spots and other
wise improve the highway. The thaw-
ing and freezing of recent weeks has
left some sections Of the road in rather
bad condition, he stated, and these are
what he aims to have his men work
on.
