Wins From B0anerS
In Ragged Ball Game

The Bonners Ferry team was not
playing in its usual form last Sunday
in the baseball game on the Libby
diamond, with the result that the Libby
aggregation won an easy victory with a
Is to score. And by winning that
game, the locals also appropriated all
the gate receipts, as the agreement had
been that the winner should take all.
Bonners Ferry went to bat first and
was BANKED in the first two innings,
while Libby chalked up two runs in
the first inning and three scores in
the second frame. Bonners assisted the
locals materially in those two innings
by rather ragged baseball--numerous
errors and by kicking the ball around
and muffIng it. Bonners scored three
runs in both the third and fifth in
nings, but in Libby's half of the fifth.
the locals went on swattlng fest and
clouted out the Bonners pitcher for
seven runs. That practically put the
game on ice" for the locals, who scored
one more run in the sixth inning and
none thereafter
Person, at short-stop for Libby, made
two sensational catches for outs by
running back and nabbing two difficult
high ones. Percy Baker also won APP
plause when he ran far over the left
field foul line to nab high fly foul.
Rowland and P. Baker both clouted
out home runs at opportune times.
Jackson pitched in his usual good form
for Libby, striking out seven batters,
while Crouch for the visitors struck
out six

Dean Line Tells Libby Audience Of
Important Work By Montanans, Inc.

came to be organized, how it is being
financed, and what its plans are for the
future.
He pictured briefly a tremendously
important work the organization is do
ing throughout eastern Montana. Ir
cooperation with state and federal de-
partments, it has made careful survey
of all of the eastern part of the state
where the depression has struck sc
hard Soils have been classified and
farmers are being induced to remove
from hopeless homes onto land where
they can earn a living Irrigation pro-
jects are being developed to help pro-
vide homes for these people. For every
acre of new land thus put under cul-
tivation, 10 acres of marginal land is
being withdrawn, he said. This is a
scientific and we'll thought out plan
and is destined to accomplish much
good
Another important work Montanans
is doing is the advertising of the state
in the East and Southwest to induce
tourist travel Dean Line said it had
been estimated that tourists spent an
nually in Montana 10 million dollars
He said it is now believed that esti-
mate is much too low Montanans, Inc,
has had several thousand small book
fets printed containing pictures and
descriptive matter that will appeal to
the traveller, some of the illustrations
being reproductions of oil paintings, in
color. These and much other advertis-
ing matter are being widely distributed
A representative was sent throughout
the East contracting travel bureaus and
working to induce travel to Montana
As result of this publicity there is a
great increase in tourist travel to the
state and the organization is receiving
from $50 to 400 letter daily from in
quirers.
Mr. Line had spoken Of special APP
preparations having been secured for
the irrigation development At the con-
clusion of his remarks Walter Neils
raised the question as to whether or not
it would be possible to obtain special
allotment Of about million dollars for
the completion of highway No to the
Idaho state line. Mr.. Line replied that
he could not say as to that but that
such things had been done and advised
that it might be we'll for local men TO
make a vigorous attempt in that re-
spect. After little further discussion
the meeting was adjourned, with those
present remaining for some time for in
formal consideration Of the subject Of
the evening.
Mr. Line is soliciting business houses
TODAY for funds to help in the financing
of this good work.

High|ights Of An
Auto Tour
BY THE EDITOR
TENTH INSTALLMENT

My last article left us stopping al
Jacksonville, Fla. for the night. The
next morning we pursued our way
northward and after short drive we
crossed the state line into Georgia,
crossing here the ST. Mary's river, a
sizeable stream.
In mapping out our itinerary for this
trip we had concluded that we would
follow the coast line along the eastern
seahoard wherever possible. The last
several years of our lives had been
spent in the beautiful mountains of the
West, and we concluded to pass up
mountain scenery where necessary to
stay near the ocean. Therefore we chose
a route that lead us through Georgia
not far from the ocean and while we
got a considerable distance inland in
passing through the Carolinas and Vir-
ginia, at no time did we get into the
higher attitudes that we could have
visited had we driven into the interior
parts Of those states. But we were not
sorry we chose the route that we did.
We found it exceedingly beautiful Our
ramblings took us through much beau
tiful country on this auto tour but we
can truthfully say that one of the most
beautiful sections was the drive
through Georgia, the two Carolinas and
Virginia into Washington
Immediately after entering Georgia
the beauty of the wayside began to
manifest itself. The country was gently
rolling for much of the way and was
heavily wooded, with a great variety Of
leaf trees, all beautifully green in their
early summer clothing. For many long
and pleasant miles the highway passed
through what could be truthfully de-
scribed as a tunnel of verdure, with
vines and brush and flowers helping
to add a most pleasing touch to the
delightful sylvan surroundings
Through this part of the drive we
also ran into another heavy negro
settlement Dilapidated negro cabins
were seen all along the route set back
in the trees and bushes Yet they had
much better appearance than did
those we had seen in Mississippi, prob
ably because Of their more attractive
settings
