Irrigation Water.
IN RETURN FOR
PARTIAL CLEARING

Glen OneaI comes forward this week
with an offer to the public that should
receive a ready response. whether or
not the new democratic administration
brings back the prosperity that has
for SO many months.
Mr.. Oneal is developing ranch
from new land about three and hal6
miles south of town and offers to turn
over some of the land to Libby citizens
free of charge, to be used in raising
gardens. THE land is covered with
second growth pine" stated Mr.. Oneal,
which can be cleared without great
deal of labor For those who want to
take up the proposition, | will furnish
a hand puller that will easily handle
most of the stump pulling. No one win
be expected to gemove any stumps that
are too large to remove by this means.
After a man has cleared tract | will
pillow and harrow it free of charge r.
igation water is available and this also
will be supplied without charge. The
land is good potato land and will grow
potatoes and other vegetables. Any
one who wishes to put in a garden on
these terms can take as large or small
tract as he wishes and may plant
anything in the way Of garden truck"

conditions, good crop of potatoes is
almost assured. as we'll as other gar
den crops such as carrots, rutabagas,

of vegetables. by taking advantage or
the offer Mr.. Oneal is making, Those

reports that the session was unusual

that respect in his experience. He is also
of the opinion the state budget has
not been balanced and says Governor
Erickson told him he would undoubt-
edly call special session of the leg

gold standard. For several weeks bank
holidays had been in force in differ
ent sections. These had caused fear
in the minds of many, who began draw
ing out their money and boarding it.
At the same time Europe started q
raid on our gold supply. One billion
dollars was drawn out in the week
ending March l. To stop this raid on
our gold reserve the president declared
the bank holiday.
Under present regulations banks arc
permitted to be open to make change
and to allow access to safety deposit
boxes, but no gold shall be paid out
under any circumstances. That is about
all they are permitted to do.
President Roosevelt has called con-
gress in special session to meet at noon
today. Just what plan of action will BE-
evolved is unknown but it is believed
large sums of new currency will be IS
sued. Mr. Smithberger says the federal
reserve is preparing to issue about
two billion dollars of new currency
backed by the gold reserve and the
national banks can issue anoter bill
lion in currency protected by govern
ment bonds. This should be sufficient
to take care of all present needs. it Is
said
Montanas banks are reported to Be-
in fine condition and that there is mo
reason to be alarmed While the ma
tional bank holiday has halted BUSH
ness, yet 1t is being received by the
public in spirit of cooperation.

they include a pool 40x80 feet, with

$780, hotel, SIPS: restaurant, 500; re-
taller, $500; each vehicle, S25, and
clubs, $50. A tax Of so cents barrel
also is levied on all beer imported into
the state.
The number Of licenses to retailers in
cities, towns and villages is limited
to zone for the first 500 population, a

Ask City To
Modify Milk
Ordinance
Petition Presented at Last
Meeting of Council-No
Action Yet Taken.
SOME FAVOR TT;
OTHERS OPPOSE TT

The session of the Libby city council
Tuesday night lasted until past IL
o'clock and then adjourned for a week,
with unfinished business still to be at
tended to- One matter of importance
to engage the councils attention was
a petition signed by considerably over
hundred citizen asking that the ordi-
nance requiring pasteurization of milk
be modified Two or three dairymen
were there in support of the petition
and as many also opposed changing the
present arrangement.
The petitioners desire to be allowed
to sell their milk within the city, un-
der usual restrictions requiring regu-
lar inspection of diaries and health ex-
animation of the dairymen. They main
tain the present ordinance works
against the development of the dairy
industry. although some Of those ask
ing modification admitted they were
able to sell all their milk.
Other dairymen who formerly sold
from house to house are strongly OPP
posed to going back to the old arrange
ment They claim they are making
more money now than formerly. that
they have much more time in which
to do other needed work and that a
heavy burden of bottle washing and
other labor is lifted from the women
of the family. The discussion at times
grew spirited 1t is said an examina-
ton of the petition showed large.
percentage Of the signers do not live
within the city limits.
1t is understood the councilmen take
the stand that they would be willing
to modify the ordinance provided it
can be shown that the purity of the
milk can be maintained Under pas
teurization the community has been
practically freed from typhoid, there
having been 80 cases in the year prior
to the pasteurization enactment, 1t is
said The st1te board III health also in
sists strongly on such an ordinance.
VIM. Farris, representing the fire de-
partment appeared and asked that a
somewhat different system be used in
bookkeeping as 1t affects money COM
ing into department funds from q
mill tax levy; this in order to simpli-
fy matters The council agreed to this.

Lions club asked cooperation in build
