phones for each 100 inhabitants leads
the larger cities of the world in tele-
phone development. Washington is
second, Seattle third, and Denver Is
close fourth.
In absolute numbers, the telephones
Of large American cities are more
nearly comparable with the telephones
Of foreign countries, and even con-
tinents, than with those of individual
cities abroad. New York City, for
example, has considerably more tele-
phones than France; nearly as many
as Great Britain, and more than one
half as many as Germany. Chicago
has about as many telephones as there
are in all Of Spain, Italy and Russia
added together. Los Angeles has more
telephones than any European country,
except Germany, Great Britain, France
or Sweden. The telephones of New
York City outnumber those of Asia
and Africa combined, while Chicago
has considerably more telephones than
either South America or Oceania.
The distribution of telephone facili-
ties abroad is Of greater significance
to Americans now that they can talk
with 80 per cent Of all the telephones
throughout the world. The telephone
system Of the United States is con-
nected with most of the telephones in
North and South America, Europe and
even Australia, as we'll as a small dis
trict in northwest Africa. Among
recent additional extensions Of service
were the radiotelephone circuits estab-
lished to Java, Sumatra, Bermuda,

LOYALTY of Loeb Lynn Citizens

Loyalty OF LOcn Lynn CltlzehS
1t was certainly fine gesture of
public spirit and loyalty made in Loeb
Lynn yesterday when nearly every
able-bodied man turned out to donate
a days work on the new road now
being built in that village.
The folks over there are trying to
complete Roanoke Avenue, the main
street through the town connecting
with the Pleasant Valley highway,
and when the authorities announced
that there was not enough money in
the treasury to finish the project, the
men land women) of the town just
simply refused to accept defeat. So
they notified the Council to keep at
it, threw off their, coats, donned their
overalls and spent the entire day see
ing that the road was completed.
Not to be outdone there the loyal
women of the community figure) the
women provided the dinner, which
was served at noon. And as usual,
with dinners served by the women of
Loeb Lynn, it was all that could be
desired.

Telephone communication In Mary
land, Virginia, West Virginia, and the
District OF Columbia is so universally
used by men, women and children in
every walk of life that it will come
as shock to many people to learn
that there are numerous larger cities
in other countries with fewer tele-
phones than are found in the smaller
cities in this area.
Small towns and rural sections Of
America are notably we'll provided
with telephone facilities. Communities
in the United States with less than
10000 population each, have at their
disposal an average of 1872 telephones
for each 100 inhabitants, according to
a survey made recently by the Amer
lean Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany, giving world telephone statistics
as of January 1, 1881, which is the
latest date for which comparable fig
ures can be secured. In Europe, the
report shows, even the larger cities are
for the most part less adequately sup
piled with telephones than these small
er American communities.
Telephone facilities in America are
widely distributed. While such deyel-
opment abroad is largely concentrated
In metropolitan areas, American cities
are generally far ahead of foreign cities
in the extent Of telephone service. The
eight cities in the United States Of
more than 100000 population had,
on January 1 Of last year, an average
of one telephone for every four people,
and the So American cities of more
than 100000 population were almost
equally we'll equipped telephonicalIy.

PREDICT HARMONY AT
STATE G. @. p. MEETING
GOldsbOrOugh Expected To Sue
coed Jackson AS Member of
National Committee

Leaders of the Republican party of
Maryland foresee. a harmony session
in store May &c, when the State con-
vention will be held in Baltimore to
officially name the party's nominees
and delegates to- the National conven-
tion in Chicago.
Some of the most powerful figures
in the party are solidly behind Sen
ator Phillips Lee Goldsborough to sue
coed William P. jackson as national
committeeman, and others declare and
predict a fight over the senatorial
nomination will not materialize.
Important leaders of the party de-
clare unofficially that Linwood l..
Clark, former representative from the
Second District, will not push his
claim for the senatorial nomination,
based on the plea that he had carried
the popular vote over State Senator
Wallace Williams in the primary of
May 2.
Williams Carries Counties
Senator Williams, though beaten in
the primary carried enough of the
counties to assure himself of the NOM
ination under the unit rule. Several
party leaders called on Williams and
Galen L. TAFT, chairman of the State
central committee and his principal
hacker, to withdraw from the race on
the face of the primary returns.
Both Williams and TAFT refused to
heed these demands and Clark, at the
meeting of the State committee in
Baltimore Monday intimated that he
would not press his claim further.
Selection of a new national COM
mitteeman was necessitated by the
statement from Mr.. Jackson last win
ter that he would not be candidate
for denomination. The new commit
teeman will be selected by the ma
tional convention delegates immedi-
ately after the convention on week
from Thursday.
Many of the most powerful leaders
were united behind Senator Goldsbor-
ough for the position. No decision
has been reached as to successor to
Mrs. w. Bladen Lowndes as national
committeewoman.

ink upon the calendar, excepting when
it falls upon a Sunday, as it did this
year, but nevertheless it exerted a
power over the elements that turnd
the weather from a week of the most
disagreeable kind. into. one of mid

During the past week, starting Sun

from the H. Weber and Sons company,

May 8, to Saturday, May ID. But
Straw Hat Day ended this downpour,
and literally turned the season from
spring into midsummer.
Just whether or. not this Day can
hold it's spell over the elements until
June 81, the official HSummer's Day"

To Discuss Watershed Problems
at Forestry Meeting

What is happening to the nations
water sources will be brought into
prominence at Baltimore, on May &c
and 81, when members of the Mary
land Forestry Association gather for
their annual conference, which will
be held jointly with the American
Forestry Association. The Secretary
of Agriculture, Arthur M. Hyde, will
head the list of national speakers
assembled in the interest of combined
forestry and watershed problems.
The purpose of the conference is to
present the more important phase of
the country's water situation and to
suggest constructive approaches to
the many water problems with which
the nation, states, communities, and
individuals are confronted. Further,
the sessions are designed to focus
public attention upon the watershed
and the Importance Of giving due
recognition and development to
watershed influences.
In commenting upon the subject of
the conference, George D. Pratt,
president of the American Forestry
Association, said:
There is no more important conser-
walton problem before the American
people than that of water. We are
featuring it not only because of its
national and local Importance, but be-
cause of the import bearing which in
telligent management of forest lands
has upon water conservation and
water supply. Most city jewellers
know water merely as something OBJ
tanned by turning on faucet. Few
of them understand the sources from
which it comes or appreciate the in
f1uences of modern developments and
exploitation upon these sources. For
est fire, soil erosion, floods, droughts,
and mismanagement of watershed
lands are slowly but surely levying a
heavy drain upon our water rosour-
ces and our natural wealth.
Every school boy knows that water
is vital to life. 1t is the nations
basic natural resource. Recurring
droughts, floods, and the loss of mil
lions of acres of good agriculture land
through erosion, stress the need of an
intelligent national water policy if
our country is to emerge from the
present economic breakdown into an
era of sound and permanent pros
eprity

Troy is making a good record this
year. 1t has defeated Libby twice and
has won one game from Noxon, and
it is known as strong team.
The Libby boys have been going
through stiff practice daily and Man
ager WOLF states they will be in tip
top form for this battle.

the good work voluntarily done by w.
r. Kemp on the grounds, by w. w.
Blew in hauling the members of the
band around town, and also by the
Libby band for the music generously
contributed last Sunday.

FIRE PROTECTION AGENCIES
MAKE CHANGES IN DISTRICT

According to c. S. Webb, supervisor
Of the Kootenai national forest, the
Northern Montana Forestry Assocla-
ton, which hanhles fire control work
on lands listed with it for fire pro-
lection, has recently withdrawn from
the Kootenai district.
An agreement was recently made
with the forest service in which 1t was
provided that all lands listed with the
association within and adjacent to the
Kootenai national forest, would be pro-
tected by the forest service to the same
degree as forest lands owned by the
United States. Under this arrangement
the Kootenai national forest assumes
the protection work over approximate
" 265,0OO additional acres. The greater
part Of these lands lie within the Libby
and Fisher river ranger districts, q
small portion being within the Warland
district
In all matters pertaining to the list
ing Of lands, the landowners will con-
tinue to deal directly with the associa-
ton whose business is handled by it,

More Mining
Men Attracted
By Libby Placer
Decide to Remain Here Instead of
Going on. to Alaska--Chicago
Capitalist Coming.

1t will be remembered this paper an
nounced two weeks ago that Carl
Stocking Of Milwaukee and Harold v
Wahlin, a graduate engineer Of the
Wisconsin university school Of mines,
had stopped in Libby to visit and con-
fer with DR.. M. D. Kelly in regard to
his placer developments here. Mr..
Stocking planned to go on to Alaska
to look after mining interests there
but Mr.. Wahlin was to remain here on
the placer work.
1t now develops that these two men
have been joined by third, Mr.. Fred
Eihlmann of Milwaukee, MIR. Eihlmana
being a son of one of the foremost
bankers Of that city. Mr. Stocking and
Mr.. Eihlmann have become SO thor
oughly sold on the local enterprise that
they have decided to forego their trip
to Alaska and will devote their re-
sources and energies to the placer en-
terprise on Libby creek. All of which
speaks well for the possibilities of the
local project when it can compete sue
cessfully with Alaska gold fields.
DIR. Kelly is expecting another asso-
ciate to reach Libby today, Mr.. U. s.
Deahl Of Chicago Mr.. Deahl has been
associated with DIR. Kelly in former
undertakings and has invested very
substantial sums in them during past
years. II is hoped that he will become
interested, in substantial way, in local
developments.

Highway
Work May
Start Soon
Indications Point to Activity
on Libby Troy Project
in Few Weeks.
BLUE PRINTS HERE
FOR RIGHT OF WAY

From present indications 1t is prob
abe that work on the 100000 forest
highway project between Libby and
Troy will be under way within few
weeks. The board of county commits
sioners have received blue prints from
the B. P. r. with instruction to pro-
coed to secure right-of-way. If this
were a state project right-of-way
would be secured by the state highway
commission, but for forest service
highways that duty falls upon the
county.
Another indication is the receiving
of letter by Frank Pival of Libby
from the bureau of public roads, which
states, in effect, that work will probably
be started next month, with the con-
tracts let the latter part of this month
The letter to Pival also states that
the new work will not tie onto the
present finished highway running west
from Libby but will be started at Koo-
tenai Falls and work west The object
is to eliminate the dangerous two mile
stretch west OF Kootenai Falls and it Is
believed this could not be entirely
done with the present appropriation il
work were started at the end of IT,
present highway.
1t is wise decision to do away with
the high, dangerous roadway as soon
as possible. The stretch that will be
left uncompleted, for the present, be-
tween the highways is comparatively
level and perfectly safe, and generally
is in rather good condition
