Six Weeks More Of Winter.

Libby is destined to have six weeks
more of winter if reliance is to be put
on that old legend about the grounding
and his shadow. Grounding day, Feb.
2, opened with deep bank of fog
hanging over the tops of the mountains
and deep down into the valley, but
about II o'clock the sun drove the fog
away and for the remainder of the day
there was brilliant sunshine, giving the
grounding ample opportunity to see
his shadow. That, of course, means
there will be six weeks more of snow
and ice. There can be no question about
it. And why should we care, in view
of the delightful winter weather we are
having!
However, there is one glimmer of
hope those who long for spring.
One lady who claimed she positively
knew what she was talking about,
stated that the grounding comes out
real early in the morning and then
retires to his burrow again. If. on his
first appearance at an early hour he
does not see his shadow, spring will
arrive shortly. Under that interpreta-
ton of the legend, the woodohuck did
not see his shadow here, because fog
covered the valley until about IL
o'clock. So take your Pickle did or
didn't see his shadow

large serving Of brick ice cream was
placed before each guest, the ice cream

in the center of each serving. Score

Lake Fishing
Through Ice
Large Catches Being Made
Of Silver Salmon-Makes
Fine Sport.
REPORT MANY DEER
KILLED BY TRAINS

A number of Libby people are hav-
ing great sport these days in what they
consider one Of the finest of winters
recreatio1s. It is fishing through the
ice in the lakes in the Happy's Inn dis
trict Several have been making fine
catches of silver salmon in Crystal
lake, an unusually large number of
fishermen being out last Sunday.
Deputy Game Warden Darlington is
authority for the statement that the
lake is well stocked with these fine
fish and that the public is welcome
to take them at this time. Some have
thought the fish were somewhat poor
because of an insufficient food supply,
but Mr. Darlington says that trouble
is always corrected as soon as the ice
leaves the lakes in the spring and the
fly crop begins to appear. Local fish
ermen are making large catches and
report the fish make excellent eating
Deer Being Killed.
Reports are coming in that quite
large numbers of deer are being killed
along the railroad track. This is also
a condition that is common every win
ter, says Darlington. Generally there
is about a hundred deer killed
each winter, he says, between Fortinel
and Troy Recent reports are to the
effect that IS deer have been killed by
trains between Leonia and Troy. Dor
rington investigated the matter and
says the report is true.
Il think the game officials of Idaho
are following an unWise practice In this
regard stated Darlington. In seasons
Of deep snow they have made prac-
tice of loading flat car with hay and
scattering it along the railway track
for the deer. This naturally induces
the deer to come to the track and they
get the habit Of loafing around the
railroad. The snowplows cut deep
trench through the snow, the deer &c
down into that trench after the hay
get caught there by trains and are
killed. consider it very poor policy
to scatter the hay along the railroad
| Mr.. Darlington also said he had in
vestigated reports that the deer are
in poor condition He said he had found
them strong and vigorous. Furthermore
while the snow is deep in sections
many sidehills are almost bare, which
allows the deer to reach the grass
easily and, as usual, there is plenty Of
| brush for them to browse on, and 1t Is
well known the deer are fond Of that
sort of food.

Ice Fishing, Flashlights
And Valiant Angleworms

There is nothing like keeping abreast
of the times. This is an aphorism that
characterizes the attitude Of certain
ardent Libby fisherman.
Undoubtedly this disciple of Isaac
Walton has been reading about late
inventions whereby men enclose them
selves in huge steel balls lighted by
powerful electric lights and then have
themselves lowered into the depths of
the ocean to study undersea life. Not
in possession of the large steel ball,
this ardent Libby fisherman hit upon
the idea Of trying an experiment OF his
own. He proceeded to drop an electric
light to the bottom of his favorite lake
and then watched what took place
thereafter.
His pals claim the dropping was all
accidental Be that as it may whether
intentional or accidental, the result was
the same. Aforesaid fisherman was very
much occupied in manipulating fish
line through hole in the ice and, it
being rather dark, held fine neN
flashlight in one hand. Suddenly in the
excitement, when strong bite" was
secured, the flashlight slipped from his
hand and plunked straight through the
hole in the ice to the bottom of the
lake. And it is said the, blamed thing
continued to burn for about three hours
before the water penetrated it and put
it out
In the meantime, the light in the bot
tom Of the lake afforded wonderful
spectacle to the fisherman peerine
through the hole in the ice He says
at times the fish were SO thick they
almost obscured the light What para
disc for an enthusiastic Waltonian! Fol
further details of this interesting ex-
pertinent ask Doc.
Improved Breed Of Angleworms.
And then there is the other story tolc
about one of the fair sex of Libby, who
likewise enjoys the sport given renowr
by the aforesaid Walton Not satisfied
with the local supply Of angleworms
she recently sent to an angleworn
farm in Iowa and had a supply
shipped to her here. When they ar
rived they needed new earth and !

stock, started to dig near the house ane
Immediately began to unearth some o
the largest and latest and finest angle

But that is no reason why this specia

shouldn't have been shipped in. Ac
cording to AL Richards, who is al
authority on all such matters, thes'
worms from Iowa are of a much NOR,
ferocious disposition than are the meel
and lowly worms of Montana. And the.
