FISHING SEASON OPENS
MONDAY, MAY 81

Il wish you would call the attention
of fishermen to the fact that the open
I ing day of the fishing season is Mon
day, May q" said William J. Dorring-
ton, deputy game warden "As every
fisherman should know, the fishing sea-
son opens on May 81. The closed season
is from the 18th day of March to the
goth day of May, BOTH DATES IN
elusive. This word inclusive seems to
be misunderstood Maybe one reason
for the misunderstanding is that the
goth falls on Sunday this year, but it
should be remembered that Monday,
the 21st is the opening day"
Thus speaks the man who will be
checking on any too ardent fishermen
who may be tempted to drop a fly
into the babbling brook one day ahead
of time. All fishermen love to fish on
Sunday but as Sunday, the goth, is the
last day of the closed season, it is just
as unlawful to fish on that day as in the
middle of the closed season. safety
First says keep the old fishing equip
ment stored away until Monday, the
21st.

TALK OVER WORK PROJECTS
TO BE RECOMMENDED

The Libby members of the county
planning committee met last Friday
night to talk over projects to be recon-
mended to the Lincoln County Plan
ming committee at its meeting to be
held in Libby tomorrow afternoon. One
that will be recommended is work in
a general Improvement of the highway
in the Swamp creek district and prob
ably also cleaning out of the brush
and down timber along the channel of
the creek. 1t is believed this will help
materially in reducing overflow Of the
creek in the spring and damage to the
road bed in certain places
Another project earnestly recon-
mended by Mayor Elmer Switzer and
County Commissioner Brink is a sim
liar cleaning out of brush and down
timber along Flower creek. 1t is said
conditions on that stream are dangerous
during high water for the safety Of
the city. Last winter, during the seri-
Gus flood conditions, a jam formed Of
brush and timber but fortunately broke
so that it diverted the water to the
west where it did heavy damage to
property Had the jam broken loose
on the other side it would have thrown
the flood water right through the city
where tremendous damage undoubtedly
would have been done The winter
floods moved large quantities of gravel
into the creek bed in many places, to
such an extent that the channel is
almost filled 1t is proposed to clear out
the brush and down timber and re-
move the gravel where it is blocking
the channel
Considerable improvement of the
Libby cemetery is another project con-
sidered. Work on this will probably be
begun as soon as the project can be
approved. Work on the streams will
have to wait until low water time
Much highway work can be done if
funds are available and other projects
will be recommended later in the sea-
son If conditions warrant them.

in Libby during the past week travel
ling in an Overland touring car of the
1925 vintage. The Davidsons were on

After getting out some rs or 80 miles
from Libby last Saturday their car
broke down and they had to be lowed
back to this city After he had re-
paired the car, they were sent back to

time learned that help could not be OBJ

ranged from two to ID years Of age.
The car, in addition to the IL passen-
gers, was well loaded with boxes con-
tanning household goods.
Davidson said he had spent nine
years in Washington, most of them
farming, but that he had lost his farm
and had been on relief work until
that was closed down recently. The
family was given assistance here by the
local relief committee.

one great guiding power. friendship.
AS each class graduates the high
school moves on, and new friendships
deepen. There are no freshman, sophie
more, junior, or senior classes but the
high school has become one great class

STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
MEMBER VISITS LIBBY

L. J. Croonenberg of Missoula, MEM
Der OF the state highway commission,
visited Libby Wednesday in response
to request of Governor Cooney's to
report on conditinos here. Mr. Croonen-
berg was entertained at dinner that
evening at the Turner Tavern, at which
were present several officers of the
Libby Commercial club, some of the
highway committee members and other
business men, some 10 or IL being
present.
The dinner was a pleasant one and at
that time Mr.. Croonenberg explained
in considerable detail plans of the COM
mission for highway work and pictured
some of the difficulties confronting the
commission. "The commission feels
confident" said Mr.. Croonenberg, Chat
another large appropriation for high
way work will be made by congress
before it adjourns and if this is done
feel safe in assuring you gentlemen that
your district here will receive another
project or two"
Mr. Croonenberg felt one of the first
new projects should be connecting the
two projects directly west of Libby and
completing the highway to the Idaho
state line. Other work should be on the
Libby Kalispell road.
While here Mr.. Croonenberg drove to
Troy to see what is being done on high
ways in that section He left today for
kalispell to attend meeting there.
