Mrs. E. R. Grant Replies to
BIant0n-CiteS Public
Health Report.
PROSPECTS BRIGHTER
TO BUILD SOLARIUM
Texan Succeeds in Blocking Spe-
cial Rule Requested by Head
of D. G. Committee.

Mrs. Ernest r. Grant, executive sec
retary of the District tuberculosis
Association, today denied assertions
by Representative Blanton, Democrat,
of Texas that Washington's climate
is mot conducive to tuberculosis re-
covery." She cited United States
Public Health Service report to prove
the change of climate theory in treat
ment of the white plague has been
discarded.
This development in the tuberculosis
situation came as prospects frightened
for construction of solarium on the
roof of the new Children's Sanatorium
in Maryland-a feature of the original
plans, which was dropped owing to
lack of funds, as revealed recently in
The Star.
Blanton'S statement, to which Mrs.
Grant replied today, was made yes
terday before the House Rules Com
mittee when he succeeded in block
ing issuance of special rule to
Chairman Norton of the District
Committee to enable her to obtain
immediate House action on the bill
authorizing the Commissioners to
borrow up to $40, 1000, 900 of P. w. A.
funds, some of which would be spent
to improve the Districts tuberculosis
facilities.

THE
Editorial

Friendliness. Friendship. Was there
ever a time when these were out
NODDED? We're there ever words that
held greater power than the S e?
"Friendliness' someone has said, lis a
short concise way Of stating the we'll
known oft-repeated Golden Rule, DO
unto others as you would have others
do unto you
The high glorious moments are pune
tuated with kindness and friendliness.
Probably this friendliness was the in
ducement to your great happiness.
Certainly you will never forget the
feeling that was shown. That is remem-
bered when the fashions of human
handiwork have faded and when
theories of this-and- that are on the
out tide.
And then there are the sad deep
minutes when, at last through your
somber gray thoughts, friendliness and
friendship cut through like beaming
cheerful candle. They are your guides
to joy and peace again. They carry you
through immense depths to light and
gayety. They sustain you in sorrows
and laugh with you in happier times.
Indeer, there will never come a time
when good cheer and friendliness will
be counted out as factors in achieving
a full well-rounded life. Of such is
friendship.

AUTO DRIVERS SHOULD
OBSERVE TRAFFIC RULES.

This newspaper has been asked to
call the attention of Libby auto drivers
to traffic rule that many should take
more care in observing. The rule is that
at intersections the car at the right of
one has right of way. Section 81, Ordin-
ance LII of the Libby ordinances makes
this rule obligatory. Anyone who vio-
lates this ordinance is therefore violak-
ing traffic regulations. There would be
less danger of crashes at intersections
If this common traffic rule were OBJ
served more carefully

County Attorney Securing
Parcels of Land Along
Swamp Creek.
FROM COWELLL

County Attorney James M. Black
ford is now engaged securing right-of-
way for new highway project along

ceipt of plats from the bureau of public
roads and instructions to secure right
of-way at once. The letter stated the
B.P.R. is ready to advertise for con-
struction bids as soon as right-o f-way
is obtained
The right way desired at this time
starts in about the middle of the Cowell
ranch and extends southwark to the

beautiful one. When the highway is
completed and open to traffic it will
provide one of the most scenic routes
in the entire Northwest. Speakers dwelt
on this point. They also expressed ap-
probation of the aid given highway
construction here by the state highway
commission, the bureau Of public roads
and the forest service 1t was also
brought out that construction of high
ways in Lincoln county had helped
greatly to relieve unemployment, many
many from all parts of the county hav-
ing been employed on the projects
hereabouts.
1t is said the project will be finished
and open to traffic in about three
weeks
A Bit of History.
1t is always interesting to recall bits
of history at such times as this. The
paragraph quoted at the opening of this
article shows that the highway west
ward through the canyon was first
broken through in June, 1915, and that
the first work thereon was done some
three years previous.
The highway was built by Lincoln
county cooperating with the forest SER
vice, the forest service building IL
miles, according to L. G.. Klenck, who
was deputy county clerk at that time.
The survey for the highway was made
by John Doothie and Paul Pratt was
county commissioner from Libby when
the road was finished.
Contractors who worked on the high
way were Henry c. Howell and Marsh
Roberts, Getner & Cline, Williams &
Sanders, Ed Lightner, Scott Anderson
and Smith Collinson. Anderson built
the last bridge as one leaves the can
yon at the west end.
An Inspection Trip.
The article in the Western News of
1915 told of the passing of committee
over the newly opened highway travel
ing from Kalispell to Spokane The
committee was composed of representa-
tives from Kalispell, Libby, Bonners
Ferry, Standpoint and Spokane. The
group left Kalispell on Monday morn
ing and travelling at leisurely pace
arrived in Spokane on Wednesday, COW
ering the distance Of 270 miles in about
two days, which was thought to be
rather good time for those days.
In the group were P. NJ Bernard OF
Kalispell, Walker Wells, president oi
the Libby Chamber of Commerce. L.
| D. Farmin of Standpoint and others
Farmin was especially enthusiastic over
the scenic beauties Of the highway. He
had travelled all over the world ano
insisted the highway from Kalispell &c
Spokane was one of the most beautiful
he had ever seen.

COlOrcd Giants
Capture Prize At
Sunday Game
Defeat Libby Team and Garry Off 500
Purse--Contest Featured by
Erratic Playing

The Libby team made a good start
IN the battle for that 500 purse at last
Sundays ball game, but the Colored
Giants made the better finish and
walked away with the coveted prize,
the score standing Is to 8 at the finish.
The Libby team deliberately threw the
game away ON at least two different
occasions by poor playing at crucial
times. The two local pitchers, Roberts
and Brown, chucked good ball but
were given terrible support by their
infield.
Libby's good start was made in the
first inning after they had BANKED the
Giants in their half Of the inning. Kes-
sells got nice hit into left field that
was converted into 3-base jog by an
error, and later he came in on pass
ball. That gave the locals their one
run in the first frame Roberts struck
out two Of the colored boys in the
second frame but not until they had
scored three runners. Libby put one
more runner across home plate In the
fourth inning when Cameron got q g.
base hit and after holding the Giants
scoreless for two frames.
In the fifth inning the fireworks
started. The Libby infield began to
juggle the ball around, make wild
throws and similar antics, with the re-
suit that the boys from Pipe creek
scored four times. 1t began to look
dubious for the locals, with the score
7-2 with the Giants leading. Libby was
BANKED in the fifth, held the Giants
scoreless in the sixth, Roberts having
retired and sending Brown onto the
mound
The locals then went to bat in their
half Of the sixth and staged a grand
rally. Moberly, Burpee and Thompson
each stepped up to the plate and clout-
ed out 3-base hits. Henry singled The
colored pitcher was evidently weaken
ing and was replaced but before the
rally was stopped Libby had added four
runs to their score, the count standing
to with the Giants leading by only
one score.
In the seventh frame the locals de-
liberately threw the game away by one
Of the finest displays of erratic playing
ever pulled by any team. With two men
out, they blew up and allowed their
opponents to score five times. Libby
recovered somewhat, however, in their
half of the inning and scored two men,
Rowland getting 3-base hit
The Giants were BANKED in the
eighth and scored once in the ninth.
Libby scored in the eighth and was
BANKED in the ninth.
Roberts struck out five men in five
innings and Brown famed four men in
four innings. A few men were walked
but not many.
Daniels and White started as battery
for the Giants, Maynard replaced
Daniels in the third inning, and Mob
ley followed Maynard ins the sixth.
Roberts and Moberly started for Libby.

make the decision he did, according to
his view of the matter. However, the
two chief ones were that Dierman failed

failed to take the steps required by law
to insure the validity of his vote when
he learned it was alleged he was not
