Favor Protection Of
Pulpwood Industries

Two weeks ago the Western News
told of heavily signed petitions having
been sent to various congressman
and other officials, asking that protec-
>tion be granted to pulpwood and print
paper industries from severe foreign
competition. This paper is in receipt
of letters from both Senator James E.
Murray and Congressman Joseph P.
Monaghan, acknowledging receipt of
the petition Senator Murray writes:
II received your copy of the petition
which you signed, addressed to Hon.
Henry A. Wallace, Secretary of Agri-
culture. l am very much impressed
with the justice of your petition
Il see no reason why the Govern
ment should not give every protection
to the pulpwood industry. 1t would
seem to me that the farmers in the
pulpwood business are entitled to the
same consideration as farmers interest
ed in any other community. The big
newspapers of the country, under
stand, are the ones to blame for the
present situation
Il have attended several meetings
at the request of Mr. Frank Murphy
of Minneapolis, who has taken an
active part in behalf of the pulpwood
industry.
Il wish to assure you that l will be
glad to give my support to the move
ment to protect this American indus
try"
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1935-08-29

In his letter to this paper, Congress-
man Monaghan said.
This will acknowledge your com
munication of July rs urging The
establishment of some system whereby
the domestic market for pulpwood will
be protected against unfair competi-
ton and dumping.
i am heartily in favor of protection
of domestic materials and you may be
sure your views in this connection viii
receive my careful and serious con-
sideration.
Let me hear from you relative te
other matters in which you become in
terested from time to time"

Nd GOOD A6
DOVE HUNTER

Unless there are some good shots
among the Elks. who Will volunteer
their services, plans of the local
lodge for a dove dinner next Thurs
Cay, October 8, viii have to be aban-
doned. Hank Swanson, secretary ot
the lodge, said today
The dove dinner was voted last
week and State streets expert shoot
er $50 he says, volunteered to get
all the doves the lodge members
would need.
When the season opened last Sat
urday. Mr.. Lemons went out and
Shot a doorknob. Sunday he tried
again and shot q fence post. Undis-
couraged, he sailed out yesterday
and shot a blind cat. Early this
morning the determined hunter set
cut ana came back with an old boot
hat got tangled on the muzzle Of
his gun.
As Swanson decided that Mr.. Le-
mons was probably seeking busi-
ness in trying 10 geJ the Elks to eat
q mixture OF doCrInob, fence post
cat and boot, he relegated him to
The discard as a hunter and said he
could be kitchen mechanic.
The call is now Ou5 for Elks who
can do something with a gun. Any
doves they get should be brought to
Mr.. Lemons place Of business SO he
can prepare them for the big iced.
Nj. Lemons calls attention to the
fact that all doves brought to him
must be dead because he does not
deal with live CneS.

the trees have grown a great deal

Inside the building are many im-

appreciate the most is the i'm
proved condition Of the desks. All
the old cuts and scratches have
been smoothed off and ne'v varnish
applied. We are going to try very
nard to see that no new scratches
get ON their shining surfaces. The
teachers have pretty curtains and
