naturally listened to the Libby pro.
gram broadcasted over KHQ on ths
Davenport Hotel program last Sunday
And nothing but compliments have
been heard regarding it. In fact, every
one seems much pleased over the
affair.
The program OF music was excellent
and the placing of Libbys history and
advantages ON the air by the station
announcer was excellently done, from
the data that had been provided him
by the publicity committee of the Com
mercial club. And Mr. William Herbert
the city's representative, grew particul-
arly eloquent in describing how nature
had been SO very kind to this section
Mr. Herbert's address which was held
to three minutes and which has been
highly COMMUNICATED. was as follows.
Ladies and Gentlemen.
This is the representative Of the city
Of Libby, Montana, talking to you
through the courtesy Ind hospitality OF
kHQ and the Davenport Hotel
Libby is the county seat of Lincoln
county, situated in the extreme north
west corner Of the State of Montana,
and in the heart of the beautiful Koot-
enai valley, of which It is the trade
center and chief city, and on the main
line of the Great Northern railway,
about 165 miles from Spokane, and on
III. S. Highway No. 2, and half way be-
tween Spokane and Glacier National
park. The highway from Spokane to
Libby is good and getting better as
Montana is coming out of the mud.
Lincoln county is chiefly national
forest land, as 10 per cent of its area
is within the boundaries of the Koot-.
enai National Forest, and consequently
Is covered with vast stretches of pri-
meval forest of pine, fir, larch, cedar
and tamarack; where the stealthy cou-
gar stalks the timid deer as she glides
among the shadowy pines, with eyes
alert and ears erect; where the lordly
elk peals forth his bugle challenge,
which echoing among the mighty crags
invites his adversary to mortal combat,
for the mastery of the herd; where a
thousand mountain streams, with cas-
cade falls and deep green pools. by
points of rock and messy logs, where
the speckled trout danee in the crystal
water, keeping time to the wild, grand
music Of nature; where the fisherman
finds his paradise and the hunter gets
his game; where the mountain goat,
from eerie heights, on the mountain
peak, looks down on the vale below;
where the hills and mountains are
scanned with mineral wealth, beaded
with silver on threads of gold, await
ing the hand of industry to unlock their
treasure vaults; where earthquake shock,
storms and floods, poisonous snakes
and insects are unknown; where hurl-
bred lakes, like jeweled mirrors, lie
shimmering in the sunlight, like mass
of molten silver, reflecting, topsy turvy,
mountain peaks so high that one may
climb atop, and, tiptoeing, tickle the
angels feet.
Come see our country. You will like
it. Goodbye"

would take at the coming special ses-
sion of the legislature relative to the
proposed sales tax This started much
discussion. And the conclusion was
unanimous Every merchant and bust

such a measure. Mr. Krall argued that

blesome nuisance After some little
