Death On The Highway

Early in 1888 there We're fewer automobile ac
cidens than during same period in 1882.
During the last half of 1888, however, the trend
changed In the year, 305O0 persons kiled-a
312 per cent advance over 1882.
The automobile accident toll follows the amount
Of gasoline used in the country with almost loving
actitude. During the first half of 1888 for example,
when gas consumption was per cent below the same
period in 1892, there fewer accidents During
the last half gas 25 per cent abOve-and the

Making The Banks Safe

Every bank account Of 500 on less in the Unit
eel States except OF those III banks which have
not been reOpened because of unSOundness, is now
insured against loss to the depostor. How this will
work out for the banks is yet uncertain Our idea
is that it, among other things will make banks great
deal more careful than many OF them were up to
year ago. When ten thousand out of thirty thousand
banks fail Or temporarily have to close down because
they have been involved, directly indrectely in
careless or risky use Of their deposits there isn't
much to brag about in the matter of careful banking
in the past.
We believe that the banks Of the nation, generally
speaking, are in sounder position than they have
been for many years We know that there is no risk
to any small depostor now in placing his money in
any bank which the Government allows to stay OPEN
What has shaken public confidence in banks is
not only the thousands of failures of small banks but
the shocking disclosures in the Senate Committee in
vesgation of the way in which the heads of some of
the big banks enriched themselves at the expense of
the public We realize that sound banking system is
essential to the conduct of business

ing on slough on his place just across
the river from the city. The young ones

duck is the proud posseSsor Of 10 lively
buckets, says Hamel He gets much
enjoyment from watching this happy
family but has quite job on his hands
to keep them from being shot by boys
who have the hunting instinct highly
developed. The lads seem to think the
ducks are legitimate prey for them and
keep plugging away at them with their
% rifles, shooting from vantage points
on the J. Neils bridge. Sunday is the
worst day for this, says Hamel.

Plans Complete For
Black Diamond Mill

TROY, June lbs. M. Gibbs and L.
A. White made trip to Kalispell Mon
day, where arrangements were made
for the installation Of the 150-ton flota-
ton mill on the Black Diamond mine
property. They intend to start the work
of installation within the next two
weeks.
The proposed development is the Gull
mination of Is years of prospecting on
the lead 1t has been definitely estab-
lished that the gold values lie east Of a
diorite dixie which passes through FOR
miles to the north, the values being
found in quartz porphyry and quartz
lite formation, which is more than ITS
feet wide.
The values are principally in gold
with 100000 yards of ore blocked out
which will run from $40 to $50 ton
1t is estimated there is enough silver
and lead in the mill feed to pay for
mining and milling. The nature and To-
cation Of the ore bodies lend themselves
to pit or glory hole mining methods.
and development iustifies the belief Of
enormous tonnage OF high grade gold
bearing ore.
The Black Diamond property con-
sists of seven claims, water rights and
mill site, all of which are owned out
right. The property is located seven
miles from Leonia, Idaho, 10 miles west
OF Troy, one and one-half miles from
the No. highway. Concentrates will
be shipped from Leonia.
The personnel consists of c. A. Smith,
president; L. A. White, vice president
and manager; A. r. Johnson Of Kalis-
pell, secretary and treasurer; S. M.
Gibbs, director, and Glen Sucetti of
Kalispell, director M G. King, one Of
the most competent mining and mill
operators who for years was associated
with the Bunker Hill-Sullivan Co, will
be in charge of mill construction and

Argued B # o e Supreme
Court That Names Be
Put on Ballot.
SEVERAL WOULD
SEEK GOVERNORSHIP

Is the governors office OF Montana
vacant and will it be necessary for the
voters to choose governor in this
years election?
That is a question that is to be de-
termined by the state supreme court
IN proceedings brought before it on
Monday, by men who wish to file for
the governorship and who contend that
there is vacancy in that office. They
also contend there is a similar vacancy
in the office of lieutenant governor. An
Associated Press dispatch from Helena
says.
This action was taken on mandamus
proceedings against Secretary of State
Sam W. Mitchell on behalf of three
gubernatorial candidates and seven as
pirants to the lieutenant governorship
These candidates sought to force
Mitchell to place their names on the
ballot for the July II primary election.
Attorneys for the gubernatorial can
didates commended.

Frank II. Cooney is merely acting as
governor to fill the vacancy caused by
the resignation of J. e. Erickson.
3 The office has not yet been filled
permanently inasmuch as Cooney was
elected as lieutenant governor.
3. The people have the power to elect
their own choice for governor at the
next general election-an election at
which members of the state legislature
are chosen.
Attorneys for the lieutenant governor
aspirants contended

tenant governorship by reason of
Erickson's resignation and his replace
ment by Cooney, who was elected gov
ernor in embryo

Three sets of attorneys were pre-
pared for action and two of them saw
duty 1uring the morning before Chief
Justice Lew Galloway.

Christensens Transferred to Washington

InrlStfnSenS transferred TO washington
Hosts of friends in Libby will hear
with mixed feelings the news that Mr.
and Mrs. c. S. Christensen and young
son will leave next Sunday to motor to
Washington, d. c., where Mr.. Christen-
sen has been transferred by the forest
service, and where they will make their
future home. The friends will be glad
to hear of Mr. Christensen's fine pro-
motion but will regret exceedingly to
lose this fine young couple as citizens
Of our community. While Mr. Christen-
sen does not know the exact nature Of
his new work, it is presumed it will
be largely similar to what he has done
here for the past several years.
Mr. and Mrs. Christensen came to
Libby four years ago last March and
Mr.. Christensen has been employed
here in the accounting department Of
the forest service. Both have been ac-
tive in community life, MIR. Christensen
being the first president of the Libby
Lions club and always taking keen
interest in its affairs He has also been
a member Of the WrangIer's club and
was an active participant in its discus
sions. Mrs. Christensen has been prom
inent in Womaen's club activities and
has also enjoyed participating in social
affairs. Both Mr.. and Mrs. Christensen
are the highest type of citizens and
their departure will be regretted by
many.
