Libby Adds One More
Victory to Games Won

The Libby baseball team went over
to Columbia Falls last Sunday and took
the fast Halfmoon team into camp to
the tune Of 6 to 5, giving the Libby
team wins to 2 losses.
Jackson and Baker were the Libby
battery and it is said they did extra
good work Jackson pitched fine ball,
striking out men while two Halfmoon
pitchers struck out s.
The Libby battery was given fine
support. Percy Baker did some extra
good work in left field, and Kennie
Reid ran through a hole in fence
and back some distance to nab high
one sent out by Dune Cameron, which
would have resulted in two scores for
the opposition if 1t had not been
smothered
There was tight spot in the last
half of the ninth inning, with the score
to 3 in Libby's favor With one man
out, Halfmoon scored two runs and
then got men on first and second but
Jackson pitched himself out Oh the hole
without allowing another score.

Petition Asks Protection
For Pulpwood Industry

A petition is being circulated and
freely signed in Libby addressed to
the administration at Washington and
asking that steps be taken to protect
American pulpwood and newsprint in
dustries from destructive foreign COM
petiti on, especially Canadian and
Swedish competition.
1t is said that the character of COM
petition from some foreign mills has
been disastrous. One large Canadian
mill has been running for months at
full capacity and it offers contract to
American buyers of newsprint at 81
per ton lower than whatever the
American price may be. Swedish man.
ufacturers have contracted with a
string of California papers at a price
So ton below whatever the United
States price may be.
Canada moves promptly to protect
her pulpWood and newsprint industries
from competition from the United
States, her laws allowing total duty
of $3.50 ton against United States
Under these conditions the industries
IN the United States are being ihrot-
tied. The United States consumes a
tremendous amount of newsprint an
nually and by far the greater part of
it comes from foreign manufacturers.
Thus a large volume of labor that
should be performed here is going to
benefit foreign laborers. Furthermore,
individual farmers in timbered dis
tricts cut and sell their pulp wood to
mills when the United States mills are
running. When the home industries
are forced to close or curtail produc-
ton the farmers lose a badly needed
source Of income. That is happening
in Lincoln county,
The petition is being circulated by
Perry Wilson of Troy. 1t asks that the
herein enumerated be re-
moved from two extensive United
States industries.

Wild Life on arade

TROY, July 10.-An interesting
and rather unusual auto trip was
taken Tuesday by Mrs. A. L. Kens-
Ter, Mrs. d. T. Wood, Mrs. Joe
Driessen and Jerry Kensler. Driv-
ing through the woods large black
bear contested the right of-way
with the car, but after sizing it up,
Bruin evidently concluded that re-
treat was the better part of valor,
so ambled down the bank into the
brush. A little farther on a coyote
ran along by the car for about a
quarter of a mile, seemingly quite
tame. Then, nearing Noxon, beau
tiful deer ran across the road, and
when they reached Noxon, at the
Cafe Imperial, a tiny pig, mascot
for the cafe, was being fed out of
nursing bottle.

TRAGIC DEATH OF BENTON JOE
(By c. w. Hutton)

(By c. w. Hutton)
From out Fort Benton Town,
The early River Town,
Came the clanking and the rattle
Of mule teams and of cattle,
And their wagone rolled like thunder
Ger the prairie, here and yonder;
Teams faced the treacherous river bed
With its mighty current, Just ahead.
Yet teams and drivers dared the cross
ing
While laden wagons were ever tossing
Over boulders, up and down,
Out from Benton, Benton Town.
Among the many heavy freighters
out OF Fort Benton, in the years of
1879 and 1880, to the towns and various
groups of mines within the territory Of
Montana, there was muleteer who, by
his fellow freighters, was called Benton
Joe. Joe was a French Canadian. a
man of about Sc years of age, possessed
of lively temperament, and a per-
nmnent inclination to the making and
saving Of money.
From out of an old French settle
ment on the St. Lawrence, called Nico-
let, Joe had come to the far West to
made his fortune, and should he ever
heap up enough to call fortune, he
would return to his loved one, far back
within the little settlement of Nicolet.
He came to St. Louis, and from that
point, assembled the Missouri from its
mouth to Fort Benton on a river boat
that required weeks for the journey.
Arriving at this frontier town, Joe saw
many mule and bull teams attached
to canvas covered freight wagons at the
river pier awaiting the merchandise
from the boats to be freighted to the
thinly scattered settlements and the
many groups of mines throughout the
territory

His case had been closed for no
other reason but because the relief
administration did not like his po-
litical opinion. He was cut off the

his case finished.
Previously, deliberately lying re-

areas" DR.. Deiss continued, "is one
of a series of bays, or estuaries,
on the eastern side, separated
either bv low peninsulas extending
westward from the Archean posi-
tive element, 'Laurentia,' or by a
group of Archean islands of low
relief. The western border of the
geosyncline appears to have been
in western Idaho and eastern
Washington"
A Different World
Professor Deiss explained that
the world, in relation to land and
water, was entirely different 5OO,-
OOO,OOO years ago, and that, in
plain fact, Montana today is in
deed "the new world"
"The evidence now available
seems to Indicate" DR.. Deiss con-
tinued, "that the eastern shore of
the Algonkian sea lay somewhere
east of central Montana and that
an archipelago, the individuals of
which were composed of Achean
GRANTEES, Gneisses and schists, was
scattered from the area now occu-
pied by Yellowstone park on the
south to beyond the Highwood
mountains on the north.
at is probable that the islands
were situated essentially in the ar
cas- now held by the isolated noun
tain masses in central western
Montana, namely, the Highwooy
the Big Snowy, the Little Belt, the
Big Belt and the Castle mountains
Further, the basin was flanked on
the south by a larger island which
lay approximately in the region OF
the present Tobacco Root, Madison
Gallatin, Beartooth and Absarol1a
ranges.
"Is was the erosion of these is
lands which produced part of the
Beltian sediment in central Mon
tana. It represented the wearing
away of 10000 feet of rock, re.
ducing these old mountains to E
plain before the Cambrian depos
it's"

led by scale maps and cross-sec.
