DO Not Walk in Street.

Mayor McCully wishes to warn the
children of the city from walking in
the streets This is always dangerous,
says the mayor, but is especially so at
this time of slippery conditions and
when cars are apt to skid and may thus
strike and injure anyone who may be
walking along the streets. The side
walk is the place for pedestrians and
auto drivers should not be required to
be constantly on the alert for fear OF
running into someone walking in the
streets. Please keep on the sidewalks
and thus help In the campaign against

May Plant Duck Food
In Thompson Lakes

bureau Of biological survey. Washing
ton, D. c., which says:
Mr.. Lincoln has permitted me to
read your communication of January S.
which was written in regard to the
dearth Of proper marsh and aquatic
duck foods in western Montana and
especially in the Thompson Lakes area.
We plan to have a good technical
man III Montana soon and you NAV be
assured that he will be instructed 10
confer with you in this regard. : =
We are tremendously rushed OF this
time but hope that something con-
structive may be accomplished as a re-
suit OF the suggestions which you have
made"
In this connection Mr. Darlington
says:
The Libby Rod and Gun club has
long advocated the planting of wild
duck foods in Lincoln county. especial
ly the string of Thompson Lakes. This
.A.0eaSi las DSCil Ldhen up with the
biological survey from year to year
and from the enclosed letter it looks as
though the efforts taken are about to
bear fruit The club believes that If
the essential food plants are introduced
in these lakes, ducks in large numbers
will be induced to locate and breed;
also 1t would be an inducement for the
ducks to tarry awhile during the fall
flight, to rest and feed. There is al
ready some talk about the setting aside
Of one Of the lakes as migratory bird
refuge. If this were done it is figured
the duck hunting would be improved
on the remaining lakes. Several wears
ago a survey was made of these lakes
and it is understood that the soil in and
around them is satisfactory for the
growing of the principal food plants"
