Plan More
Development
At Hatchery
-
Will Build Rearing Pond
and Put in More ,
Troughs.
SAYS WONDERFUL
POSSIBILITIES HERE

That the natural conditions sur
rounding the Libby state fish hatch
cry are unusually favorable for devel-
oping large plant was the gist of a
remark passed by Kenneth F. Mac
Donald, state superintendent of fish
cries, while in Libby yesterday.
II believe the Libby plant is our
very best bet said Mr.. Macdonald
while discussing the matter. II have
just been out to the hatchery and" we
have made arrangements for some lit
tie work to be done. We will build
one rearing pond between the hatch
cry and the highway and also some
additional troughs above the hatchery,
in order to increase the Matching ca
pacity. 1t is disheartening in a way
continued Mr.. Macdonald ITO see the
possibilities at the Libby plant and
still be unable to develop them because
of lack Of funds. But as business con-
ditions grow better that trouble may
eventually be somewhat done away
with
we have very competent man in
charge of the hatchery here" said Mr..
Macdonald He is not only on the job
all the time but he has the knack OF
developing valuable ideas
1t is probable that some, at least, of
the labor to be done at the hatchery
in new work will be paid for from re
lief funds.
Mr.. Macdonald was accompanied by
Harry P. Stanford Of Kalispell, mem
Der of the state fish and game commits
sion. Mr.. Stanford has been resident
of Montana for years and is well posted
on fish and game matters.
I'm just travelling around with Mr..
Macdonald said MFR. Stanford while
talking to the reporter, meeting the
sportsmen and letting them tell me
what they want Then | carry their
desires back with me to meeting of
the commission and whenever their
wishes are reasonable we try to grant
Them In discussing the recent order
OF the commission In opening and clos
ing streams to fishing, Mr.. Stanford
said: Our policy has been to leave
just as many streams and lakes open
to fishing as we reasonably can We
know that in these hard times. it is
a mighty good thing to place as few
restriction as possible around the
catching of fish," his thought being
that it all would help in feeding those
needing assistance. Mr.. Stanford ap-
parently favored retaining the bounty
on cougars saying that bounties had
been paid on 81 cougars, 50 of them
coming from Lincoln county.
While in this part Of the state MIR.
Stanford and Mr. Macdonald planned
to visit the Troy district.
While in Libby the two officials con-
ferred with Deputy Game Warden
Vim. ]. Darlington and E. M Boyes,
member of the executive board of the
state sportsmen's association.

PEDIGREED BLOOD HOUND
is SHIPPED TO LIBBY

A pedigreed blood hound was ex-
pressed to Deputy Came Warden VIM.
]. Darlington last week from the Mon
tana state prison at Deer Lodge. This
dog will be used for breeding pur-
poses, which should be a great aid
in the determination of the lions in
Lincoln county. AT present the dog is
with Jude Daniels Of Warland, who
was successful last winter in kill
ing many lions with Red Bone bitch
he shipped in from Missouri. 1t is ex-
pected the dog will have its future
home on Swamp creek.

LIBBY WINS SEASONS FIRST
BALL GAME FROM TROY

The first baseball game of the sea-
son was counted victory for Libby
when the locals defeated the Troy
team. with count of IS to II, Sunday
afternoon.
As the score. indicates, the game was
rather a swat-fest. Patt started on the
mound for Libby with Captain Allen
on the receiving end, but in about
the third inning Patt ran in to cover
the home plate when runner was
coming in from third, stepped on a
bat and wrenched his knee so that he
was forced to retire. He was succeeded
by Roberts, who finished the game.
sTroy's pitchers were unable to 60
the full nine innings and three of them
were worked
The day was cold, with a raw wind
blowing, and was not conducive to
the best playing.
The Libby team will play Troy at
Troy next Sunday afternoon.

40 YEARS SINCE FIRST
RELIGIOUS SERVICE HELD HERE

Forty years ago last Tuesday the first
religious service was held in Libby and
at that time a Sunday school was or
ganized which was said to be the first
religious organization on the line of
the Great Northern between Kalispell
and Boomers Ferry.
The first item ever entered in the
minutes of the session of the First
Presbyterian church of Libby contains
this interesting note:
The Rev. Edwin M Ellis visited
Libby May 2, 1893 The next day he
visited all the families and stores in
the town and in the evening held a
meeting which resulted in organization
of Sabbath school. which was the
first religious organization on the line
of the Great Northern railway between
Kalispell and Bonners Ferry. This
school has never been abandoned"
1t is said that the Rev Mr.. Ellis is
still living, and there is one Libby
resident who is still with us who was
present at that early-day service, Mrs.
Thomas SWitzer

When Heroism Is
Carried Too Far

II isn't likely that whole-hearted
Irish patriots Will care great deal
for "The Martyr" by Liam O'Flah-
erty. a novel of events in the bloody
and confused civil war which fol-
lowed establishment Of the Irish
Free State. i,
The scene Is an isolated coastal
town held by the irregulars-the
bitter enders to whom acceptance
of the treaty giving Ireland free
state status seemed shameful be-
trayal. Approaching the town Is
detachment of regulars engaged
in a mopping-up process.
AS the fight approaches Mr.
O'Flaherty analyses the irregular
forces. Here Is a visionary, ideal
istic man, the commandant, who
fears bloodshed and hates fighting
but yearns to sacrifice himself for
Ireland; here, scheming commu-
mist who wants to advance the So
cial revolution under cover of the
fight for independence; here an
out-and-out soldier of fortune who
simply likes a good fight; here a
handful Of confused lads who don't
know exactly why they are fighting
and can't find out.
And as the regulars enter, tri-
dmph and stamp out the flames of
revolt, Mr. Flaherty seems to con-
clude that the whole conflict Is a
little bit senseless. Ireland, he i'm
plies, has more than she needs OF
heroism, self-sacrifice, poetic ideal
ism and romantic devotion.

Business And Government

An utterance by w. T. Holiday, presi-
dent of the Standard Oil company of Ohio,
might be described as dangerously radical if
it were made by politician or labor lead
er, Urging whole-hearted cooperation of
business interests with the government, in
support of the industrial recovery act he
says: The immediate purpose of the new
law is to stop the downward spiral of wages,
spread employment and distribute purehas
ing power. 1t can accomplish these results
only if it has the united support of industry
and the public. 1T will be possible under
the law to establish minimum wages and
maximum hours for various industries. The
law strikes death blow at sweatshops,'
There need be no fear, he thinks that the
new law will bring dangerous eneroaehment
Of government upon the domain of bust
ness. When something needs to be done
which business or industry cannot do, then
the government is not intruding upon bust
ness when it docs those things. The real
radicals to-day are the conservatives who de-
nounce change and experiments

There is considerable criticism of bank
insurance among bankers, especially in the
east. They did not want the insurance plan
in the -Steagall bill. Some of them
threatened to withdraw from the Federal
Reserve System if it went through. When
it was enacted they were not expecting it,
and were caught off their guard. Which
was Just as we'll for the country.
There seems to be no more reason why
bank deposit insurance won't work than
why life insurance or health insurance or
ship insurance or automobile insurance won't
work. All these are scientific CANDLES. 1t
is question of working the plan out right.
If one method fails try another.
One thing is sure. Banking will not re-
vive soon to its former dimensions without

gas. even among people who resent the price
of bread
We have got used to gasoline taxes and
expect them. So far we have paid them
rather eheerfully. in spite of the heavy tri-
butte imposed by the state and federal gov
ernments. This is largely because gaso-
line has not risen along with the taxes, but
has fallen in spite of them. They have
been met by the eheapened production re.
sulting from bountiful new oil fields, and
by improvement in industrial processes
which gets far more gasoline from barrel
of crude oil. There may be a limit, though
to how much tax milk can be got from the
petroleum COW, especially with an industrial
reorganization which will be able to check
production.

say, which accounts for the pur-
chase of something like 100000
pairs of skates in New York every

of fashion has added quarter

very liberal estimate. Nevertheless,

Twenty years ago the crab fish,

regulations which permitted the
taking of crabs over six inches in
size. The productivity of the indus

fishermen called for revision Of the
regulations to allow them to take
crabs of smaller size, but the
ichthyologists would not hear OF
this. The story Is told in Cali

was too low because 1t permitted
the taking OF male crabs before

When the first generation OF

with the new restriction became
available. the production OF the
fishery doubled. II continued to

$40 Minimum Textile Wage Held Too Low
BY RODNEY BUTCHER

But labor's other representatives
in Washington, as well as members
of the administration own labor
advisory board, couldn't 60 along
with Mcmahon. They Immediately
went into huddles and decided to
fight the hour and wage provisions
of the code at the hearing begin
ming June 81.
Members of the labor advisory
board told johnson that they con-
sidered II their function-not spec
flied by the act--to put up fight
on just such points. 1t began to
wage figure would be boosted and
seem likely that the minimum
the working week hours lowered.
The labor group also decided to
fight for an anti-child labor clause.
Shorter Schedule Urged
1t was commended that at least
100000 workers had been forced
from the textile industry In the
previous few years by the depres-
sion, low wages and the speed-up
system: that the industry could
find all the skilled and unskilled
workers It wanted and that It could
get along on 60-hour operating
schedule instead Of an s0-hour
schedule.
The $40 and $11 minimum scales
admittedly would improve the
status of cotton mill workers. The
question raised is whether those
standards are sufficient to drive up
employment and purchasing power
to the extent that is hoped for
from the recovery act, and wheth-
er they set bad precedent for
other industries.
