Revolution of An Industry.

Many economists have repeatedly
stated that the railroads are call
done" They point to the huge gains
in the use of automobiles, airplanes,
and trucks in the past decade. OBJ
viously these newer methods of trans
portation have cut deeply into car
riers business. For years railroad
arrangements have stood helplessly by
and watched the inroads of these new
competitors without lifting a hand.
That is one reason why rail traffic
has been so slow in recovering. Since
1888, however, those connected with
the industry have seen the handwrit-
ing on the wall and are making
real stand.
The attitude of railroad people has
definitely changed. The "defeatist"
complex has been routed from most
systems. When travelling about the
country I sense completely new
spirit on the part of all employees
from presidents to trainmen. More in
novations have been jammed through

Financing Of Home
Building Made Easier

Availability of financing for home
construction in towns and cities Of
Montana should be greatly increased
this year because of an agreement re-
Gently entered into between the Federal
Housing Administration and the Re-
construction Finance Corporation
Mortgage Company, says Barclay
Craighead, state director of the Housing
Administration.
By this new plan the mortgage COM
pany agrees to furnish the facilities of
a mortgage discount bank for the pur-
chase of insured mortgages given for
home construction. Accordingly banks
which may be reluctant to carry long
term mortgages may finance home
building with the assurance that the
mortgages can be Immediately sold
without recourse to the RFC Mortgage
Company, while the bank will receive
ample and continuous earnings for
handling the monthly amortization pay
ments thereon
As the effect of this agreement is
equivalent to the opening Of national
mortgage association or a mortgage
discount bank it should result, in the
opinion Of Federal Housing officials, in
additional momentum for the housing
program which made remarkable pro-
gress during the last five months Of
1885 when about 81 per cent Of the
urban homes built were erected under
the Federal Housing plan.

To Sponsor Rodent Control Project

L. M Cheney of Great Falls, of the
U. S. biological survey, was in Libby
Monday and went from here TO Eureka,
accompanied by L. f. Jefferson of the
forest service. Mr.. Cheney came to
look into the matter of working out
project for the control of rodents in
the north end of the county where, it
is said, they are working great damage
to farmers crops.
Cheney conferred with a number of
farmers and business men in Eureka
and it was decided to request the coun-
ty commissioners to petition the PWA
for project the object of which would
be the destruction of the rodents. 1t
is understood the county commissioners
will be waited on next Monday by a
committee from the north end OF the
county and such request made.

SO 600 to make the campaign against
the rodents really effective. and that

In this connection it should be remem-
bered that tourists spent S25,O00,0O0 in

girls asked Mrs. Joughin to tell about
her California trip, which was very in

invaluable when visiting the Hunting

the first of a series of such affairs to
be included in the Junior Clubs social
program, and Judging by the good time
everyone had at this first one, the

Plan Many
improvements
In City Parks
Woven Wire Fence and
Seeding to Grass for
Athletic Field.
WORK ON PLAY
GROUND INCLUDED

That noteworthy improvements will
be made this year in two of Libby's
public parks. was the announcement
made the first Of the week by Carlton
Joughin, chairman of the city
park board. A meeting of the park
board was held Monday night and ar
engagements were made for several de-
cided improvements in the athletic field,
stated Joughin. Very noticeable de-
velopnents will also be made in the
playground block purchased last year
by the Libby school district, this work
being under the direction of A. A..
Wood, superintendent of the Libby
schools.
For some time plans have been in
mind for improvements at the athletic
field. Money is now available and the
work will start about the last of March
The old corrals will be removed from
the east end and the field extended to
the California avenue line. Low COR
ners will be filled and graded. A woven
wire fence to enclose the entire field
will be purchased and erected Later
it is hoped to be able to secure canvas
walls to be suspended from the top of
the fence thus effectually enclosing the
field. If the money holds out it is pos
sible new grandstand may be built,
although it is probable the new grand
stand will have to come later.
The football field will be moved
hundred feet farther to the east This
will remove it from the in-field of the
baseball ground. Grass seed has been
donated by the forest service and the
field will be turfed.
This work will be a PWA project and
the federal government will provide
part Of the money The city will fur
nish the balance. The money provided
by the government must go for labor.
This work will be under the direc-
ton of the city park board, which is
composed Of Carlton Joughin, chairman;
Mayor J. F. N1cCully r. r. veldman,
Otto Griep and Mrs. E E. Jaqueth-
The park board and the school dis
trict have long cooperated in fine
way in the development of the athletic
field and this cooperation will be con-
tinued in improvements to be made on
the block of ground south of the grade
school building This work, however,
is under the direction of the school
board and Superintendent Wood 1t is
planned to grade and level the ground
and seed it to grass A bandstand will
also be built for the holding of public
band concerts. This tract already con-
tains several tennis courts and other
playground equipment.
