GIANTS AGAIN
DEFEAT LIBBY TEAM

Again displaying fast playing and
heavy hitting, the Colored Giants took
the newly revived Libby Town Team
to a 1873 defeat Sunday on the local
diamond. The Town Team started off
to fast five-run lad but the Giants,
aided by three Libby errors in the
sixth and seventh innings scored eight
runs to take the lead, which they never
lost.
For the first three innings it looked
like a Libby victory as they scored
eight runs, but from then on Peorsall,
Giant pitcher, chucked shut-out ball.
Some nice playing was seen on both
sides but Redmond, Giant second base
man, was outstanding in both hitting
and fielding. For the Libby aggrega-
ton WOLF stood out in his hitting and
also pitching. WOLF struck out seven
men in three innings and hit three
times out of five, He apparently had
no difficulty in tanning the Giants
heavy batters.
The Colored Giants are. ably man
aged by Theodore La Viscount, aided
by team captain Beal and c. c. G

Higher Silver
Prices Aid Local
Mining Industry
Means Much Larger Return to Mines
Operating Here-Better Market
for Other Metals.

AS an indication of what the upward
tendency of metal prices means to the
mining industry, it can be said that
late increases in the silver and lead
market brings an additional $3.50 to
the Glacier Silver Lead Mining COM
pany for every ton of concentrates mar
keted by it. That $3.50 is so much
profit over and above what has here
tofore been received by the company
for Its silver and lead.
The better price for silver means an
increased return OF $3.50 for every
ton of concentrate produced by the
Glacier and likewise the higher lead
price means 5000 more for every ton
of concentrate, a total increase Of
$3.50.
A carload of concentrate was loaded
out by Manager Joughin this week,
consigned to the East Helena smelter.
1t is said the company can load out
car about every two weeks under
present schedule Of operations.

Of J. Neils
Lumber Company
Called BY Death
Dies in Portland Sunday Night-Camc
TO Ais Country when II Years
Old-Duih Large Industry.

JULIUS NellS, 1Oun0CT ana ne00 Oh the
]. Neils Lumber company, died at his
home in Portland, Ore, Sunday night
following III .haelth. Of year Or longer.
Funeral services were held in that city
Wednesday and burial was in Port
land cemetery.
Mr. Neils' life Is another example Of
a young immigrant coming to this
country from Europe, grasping the OPP
portunties in the new land and de-
veloping large industry that brought
a fortune to him as his reward. He
came to the United States from Ger
many in 1872 when he was II years
old. In 1883 he engaged in his first
sawmill venture at Sank Rapids, Mimi.
In 1899-19OO he built another mill at
Cass Lake, Mimi, where he and his
family made their home for many
years. For some years he operated both
the Sank Rapids and Cass Lake mills.
In the meantime, he had become as
sociated with the Shevlin interests and
in 1912 became interested in the Libby
property, the older son, Paul Neils.
having charge here from 1912 to 1915.
Upon the death of Tom Shevlin, Sr, a
division of the property was made. Mr..
Neils taking the timber at Columbia
Falls and In Minnesota and the Shev-
Inns retaining the Libby zawmill n
1919 Mr.. Neils bought back the Libby
plant and in that year Walter Neils
moved to Libby to take over the man
agement of the property here.
In June, 1922, the Neils interests
bought out the Western Pine Lumber
company at Klickitat, Wash. The saw
mill there burned in 1928 but was i'm
mediately rebuilt and the new plant
was in operation in 1929.
That in brief is the history Of a man
who by his industry and foresight
built up from small beginning one
of the large and successful lumber
manufacturing businesses of the Mid
die West and later in the Northwest.
Mr.. and Mrs, Neils moved to Port
land in 1923 and have made their home
there since that time.
In january, 1878, Mr.. Neils was
married to Miss Mary Geiger in Mil
waukie, Wis. To that union were born
10 children, all Of whom are living.
They are: Mrs. Henry Schoknecht and
Mrs Martha Agather Of Kalispell; Paul
and the Misses Anna and Ida of Port
land; Walter and George of Libby;
Henry of Minneapolis; Mrs. Hugo
Schmidt and Gerhard of Klickitat. The
window also survives. Mr. Neils was
born in Germany in June, 1855, and
was rs years old at his death.
Mr.. Neils was well known in Libby,
having come here at various times tc
visit his sons and look after business
interests, he having retained an active
interest in the management of the bust
ness up to the last few years when
failing health forced him to lessened
activities. He visited Libby the last
time in 1929. A few years ago he gen.
erously donated $1,000 to the city te
be used for swimming pool.
Mr.. and Mrs. George Neils left Mon
day evening and Mr. and Mrs. Walter
Neils departed Tuesday evening fol

Support Local Request for
Highway Improvement
in This Section.

An indication of what the travelling
public thinks of u. S. highway No. 2
in Lincoln county is disclosed in let
ter received this week from the
Chamber of Commerce of Devils Lake,
liar ones received by the Libby Com
mercial club In answer to a communi-
cation mailed to the chambers of COM
merce of numerous cities along high
way No. 2 asking their support of
early construction on the Libby Troy
project The Devils Lake letter is so
pertinent that we reprint it below:
Devils Lake. N D., July 10, 1888.
Mr.. T.. Ludvikson, Sec'y..
Libby Commercial Club,
Libby, Montana
Dear Mr.. Ludvikson;
AT the last regular meeting of our
Board of Directors | read your letter
relative to Highway No. from Lib
by to the Idaho State Line. I was in
structed to send wire to O. S. Warden
Chairman of the State Highway Com
mission, copy of which is enclosed
herewith.
4ul dlSD SLdlE llidt wife SHOULD
be sent to the Administrators of Pub
lie Works when he is appointed. If
you will let us know when this aD-
pointment is made we will be glad to
wire him also
Last August I made a trip to, the
coast and went by way OF No. 2 and
came back on No. 10 and therefore
/ fully appreciate why you are at
tempting to get this road rebuilt. From
tourist point of view would say that
would never make the trip on High
way No. 2 again until such road was
rebuilt and imagine there are many
reople who have made the trip feel
the same way and therefore influence
others to take No. 10.
We will be glad to do anything we
can to get No. completed as this
highway goes through this city and 1t
would increase traffic through this
city.
Following Ii the telegram from the
Devils Lake chamber to o. S. Warden,
chairman Of the Montana state high
wav commission:
Board Of directors of this organi--
cation urge that immediate action be
taken while Public Works funds are
available to build highway No. 2
through the Kootenai canyon from
Libby to the Idaho state line, thus
making travel to the coast over this
highway less dangerous"
