VISITS LIBBY
AND Is CAPTTVATED BY 1T

One of the most interesting of the
many summer visitors that Libby has
entertained this year is Mr.. w. W.
LeDuc of Beverly Hills and Los
Angeles Calf. Mr.. LeDuc is visiting
at the home of his son, R. W. LeDuc of
the Standard Motors. Mr.. LeDuc,
Senior, has just completed an extended
trip in Minnesota and neighboring
states which followed winter tour of
southwestern United States. Mr.. Le-
Due states that, to him, this country
in which Libby is situated is one of the
most beautiful that he has yet seen;
and Libby, itself has completely cap
tivated him. The mining industries
have proved an inexhaustible source
of interest to him and until his arrival
in Libby, Mr.. LeDuc had heard nothing
Of Zonolite, the ore which has assumed
the possibilities of a great future in
dustry
The activities and interests in this
section of the United States were con-
trasted by Mr.. LeDuc with those that
exist in California. Mr.. -LeDuc owns
walnut grove and an orange grove
by which he is occupied during the
productive months of the year. 1t is q
fascinating pastime to listen to the ex-
| periences of man who has travelled
so extensively and who can so wildly
transcribe various scenes to his listen
ers. Libby people who will, have the
opportunity Of meeting Mr.. TeDuc vii
agree that he is an unusual and es-
pecially interesting visitor

came along with the car. Miss Herbert
was driving and had not yet shifted
out of second speed when the other
car charged around curve in the
road, somewhat on the wrong side of
the highway. MIR. Herbert says ;ol-
lision could have been avoided had the
other driver pulled his car into the
bank. But r. came right on, the two
cars striking squarely in head-on
collision. The fronts Of both cars were
badly damaged but no one was injured
aside from a few bruises. Herbert
later swore out warrant for the ar

similar preparation and then wiped
them over the bed

Murray Makes Good
Record In j. 5. Senate

When Senator James E. Murray was
elected to the United States senate two
years ago it was to complete the term
of the late Senator r. ]. Walsh. This
made his occupancy of the office take
effect at once, instead of wanting until
the following January when all other
newly elected senators were seated AS
a result Senator Murray now enjoys the
status of being twenty second in pre-
cedence in the United States senate
This plays an important part in sena-
torial procedure and committee rank
ing
This fortunate circumstance, COM
bined with his ability to get things
done, won him the appointment Of
party whip" a post which calls upon
him to rally the democratic vote in
the senate on important measures. 1t
is also a mark Of honor
His legal training, his work in gen
eral landoffice practice and his expert
ence with the P. w. A., as chairman
of the Montana advisory board has
given him an invaluable advantage in
getting federal projects for Montana.
1t is due to this that Senator Murray
accounts for Montana getting more fed
eral allotments than any other state
in the Union, in proportion to popu-
lation
One of his most important efforts at
this time is to continue his plan to ere :
ate P. w. A. projects in every county
in Montana for construction of small
dams and reservoirs, which he says are
the only salvation Of the farmer, es-
pecially in the drought areas

Libby Loses Close
Game To Canadians

the Libby ball team on the local dia-
mond last Sunday when Creston took
Libby into camp with to score.
Both teams were able to score in only
two innings. Libby in the fourth and
eighth, and Creston in the second and
fifth.
Five errors were counted against
Libby players while only one was
chalked up for Creston. This helped to
lose the game for Brown, Libby pitcher,
who, it is said, pitched good game
Humble, young southpaw for the
Canadians, had aplenty on the ball and
kept the Libby batters puzzled. How
ever, as the score indicates, the game
was close and interesting and the fans
got their moneys worth The box score
