''Gin Marriage" Law
Goes Into Effect July !

Clerk of Court Clark is having the
necessary blanks printed to comply
with the new Montana marriage law
which goes into effect on July l. Under
this law, both parties to a marriage
have first to submit to a physical ex-
animation by doctor If they are found
physically fit, wait of three days is
further required after the application
for license has been made before the
marriage ceremony can be performed
While the law would be good one if
opinion is that it will merely result in
forcing couples into adjoining states.
Idaho had similar law but repealed
it few years ago.
Here is what the Milestone Messenger
thinks of the new law, although it may
be it has its cost figures rather high.
As Montana's new Gin Marriage
law goes into effect July LIST, those con-
templating ON taking this momentous
step had better get move on before
that day arrives
After that date, according to the
regulations of the new law, all per-
sons applying for license must first
take q physical and mental examina-
ton which will cost the contracting
parties SIS each. or $50 per couple.
After this examination they must
wait three more days before obtaining
their license for which they must pay
$780, and added to this is the fee to be
paid to the minister or the justice for
performing the ceremony We have
known of couples getting married and
enjoying a honeymoon trip on the
amount it is going to cost under the
new Montana law, effective July 1st
We can see only one outcome from
the effects of this law-there will be
exceeding fewer marriage rites per-
formed in Montana. The young folks
can take any old flivver across the
border line into another state, there get
their license and be wed in sane and
sensible manner
Such law as we are to have after
July lst, can only be effective providing
the marriage law is adopted in every
state and the legislators who created
this abortion on the manageable of the
state have not only robbed the counties
of marriage license fees. but also the
ministers and justices Of the peace of
the pittances they have received in the
past

Smoking Prohibited
In National Forests

Effective June q, smoking will be
prohibited within the Kootenai national
forest, except at places Of habitation
and approved camp grounds. At the
same time the requirement that an axe,
shovel and bucket be carried with each
car and pack train will 60 into effect.
Supervisor Webb states that these
restrictions are necessary due to the
dryness, especially in the lower coun-
try, and also to the fact that of the five
fires so far this year one was caused
by leaving a camp fire, three from
careless smokers, and one caused by
lightning.
This action is in common with the
other forests in this group, which con-
sist of the Cabinet, Flathead, Lolo and
Bitterroot forests.

Libby Wins From
Bonners Ferry Team

In one of the closest and hardest
fought games seen on the Libby dia-
mond for long time Libby defeated
the fast Bonners Ferry team last Sum
day with AZ score.
All the scoring was done in the first
two innings. Boomers made the first
run in their half of the first inning,
through an error, and Libby retaliated
by running in four counters in their
half of the first. Libby made three hits
in the first half-Pierson, stellar short
stop, connecting with single. P. Baker,
next man up, hit to short, both men
being safe on bad throw to second
Mccarthy then connected with two
Dagger, scoring both Pierson and Baker,
Mccarthy stopping on second Jack
Rowland then connected with another
two-base blow, scoring Mccarthy. B.
Baker made first on an error by the
Bonners third baseman, scoring Row
land This ended the scoring by the
Libby team
In the second inning Chilcls, Boomers
right fielder, hit hard line drive just
inside of the third base line which p
Baker, Libby's left fielder, let get away
from him, scoring Bonners Ferry's sec
ond and final run.
The balance of the game turned into
real pitchers battle.
Lee Jackson, pitching steady ball
for Libby, held Bonners scoreless for
the remainder of the game Crouch,
Bonners' pitcher, was little weak in
the first inning but frightened up in
the second and held Libby scoreless
thereafter.
Excellent field work was done by r.
Baker and B. Baker in left and center
fields, catching every fly that came out
to them and making long runs to garner
in some of the sky scraping offerings Of
the Boomers batters
The two teams will meet again at
Bonners Ferry next Sunday and a large
crowd of Libby fans are expecting to

Legal By State Supreme Court

,torney general raised two or three
questions as to their validity That
made necessary test case in the SUI
preme court, and in a friendly action to
test the validity, Paul Church brought
suit to enjoin the county from issuing
the bonds. His action to enioin has been
denied, which makes the county victors
in the action and automatically vail
dates the issue of bonds. The state land
board will now undoubtedly take the
bonds at the terms agreed upon at
