Discuss Road Matters.
Lion Kienitz, chairman Of the road
committee reported that he had re-
ceived information that L. j. Croonen-
I berg, member of the state highway
commission. would be at Eureka soon
for meeting regarding possibility of
getting an appropriation for feeder
road between Rexford and Eureka Mr..
| Kienitz thought Libby ought to have a
delegation present at that meeting 10
cooperate.
Lion Murray entered the discussion
to say that this matter Of feeder road
had been taken up once before when it
had been learned that road could not
be designated as feeder road while
still remaining on the per cent system.
He further said it was generally con-
cede it would be highly unwise to take
the Eureka Rexford- Libby road off the
Z per cent system, and suggested that
if delegation attended the meeting, it
| should fully understand what was in
volved and go prepared to act wisely
from the standpoint of the general well
fare. Mr. Murray was supported in his
argument by Lion Hoffman who stated
that when on the road committee of
the Libby Commercial club the same
matter had been taken up by his COM
mittee and they had also learned that
if feeder road money were obtained
the road would hape~to come off the
per cent SYSTEM When that was
learned they had dropped the matter
he said.
Lion Murray also remarked that
eventually the Libby Rexford- Eureka
road would have to be constructed by
the federal government and state high
way commission inasmuch as it is on
the per cent system and that it would
be unwise TO surrender that favorable
status.
President Krall appointed Lions
Kienitz, Herbert, WEIGH and Murray
to attend the road meeting at Eureka.

Good Entertainment.

tertainment for the evening and intro
duced Marion Racicot and stated she
would give a reading entitled The
Country Belle" Miss Marions reading
was pure comedy, we'll delivered, and
called forth spirited applause at its con-
clusion. Fred Cloutier told briefly of his
recent trip to Salt Lake~Gity, and Chas.
| Wobbe of Spokane, guest Of Lion
Miller, was called on for remarks. Mr..
Wobbe stated he had recently spent
considerable time in lumber centers
along the west coast--in western Wash
ington and Oregon and i'll northern
California; that his duties had placed
him in contact with large lumber
manufacturers and he said that in every
instance the report was that business
was much better, In fact that it was
excellent, and that people seemed more
optomistic, more ready to step out and
spend little more money. Harold
Gompf was also present and helped in
the entertainment by providing accom-
paniment on his cornet, for the Lions
singing.
Before closing President Krall named
Lions Clay Parker and Jim Harris
as the committee on entertainment for
