Inspects Sanitary Conditions.

That the campaign to improve sani-
tary conditions in Libby is going steadi-
ly forward is evidenced by a report
Of the health officer, DR.. J. M Cairns
During the past week, DR.. Cairns in
spected all premises west of the main
business street Within that area so
open toilets were found and all con-
demned. One house was found with no
toilet facilities whatever DR.. Cairns
states that with one or two exceptions
all the owners are preparing to comply
with sanitary regulations, He also says
that the cooperation by the citizens has
been very good with very few excap-
tons Similar inspections of other sec
tons Of the city will be made soon.
DIR. Cairns further reports that there
were two cases Of chickenpox within
the city last week. These have been
cleared up and there are now no con-
tagiotis diseases in the city.

Announces Changes
ID Ranger Assignments

Forest Supervisor c. S. Webb an
nounces that there has been under con-
|sideration for some time several
changes in assignments of local forest
rangers.
1t is now planned to transfer r. w
Fremming from the Ant Flat ranger
station at Fortine to the supervisors
office at Libby. Ranger Billings of
Warland will take charge at Fortine, a
new ranger will be appointed to take
charge at Warland and Junior Forester
Gordon Cornell will take charge of the
Sylvanite district
These changes are made with the idea
Of broadening the experience of the
men by bringing them in contact with
different conditions and enabling them
to better round out their experience in
the various activities of national forest
work
Numerous items have been appearing
in the daily press for the past two or
three weeks relative to some of these
assignments but it can be said that
these changes were not definitely de-
cided by the higher officials until Mon
day of this week

Cleanup Week
Set For April 20-25

Mayor ]. F. McCully has designated
the week of April 20 to rs as annual
cleanup week Property owners
should gather all nom burnable refuse
in boxes or bags and place them in
alleys, when trucks will pick them up
Mayor McCully's proclamation follows:
PROCLAMATION.
There should be a reason for boost
ing ones own home town.
Let us make Libby, THE City
Beautiful"
BY unity of purpose and cooperation
we can do it.
AS community affair it has been the
custom to set aside a week each year
for a city-wide cleanup campaign
A more beautiful and healthful city
requires that we remove all ash and
trash heaps from the backyards, va
cant lots and alleys, placing them in
suitable receptacles, and they will be
picked up and hauled to the City dump.
Now, therefore, |, J. F. McCully,
Mayor of the City of Libby, Mont, by
virtue of the authority vested in me, do
proclaim the week of April 20 to
25, 1886, as annual cleanup week.

The fine house on the Leo Bocknlan
ranch south of Libby was completely
destroyed by fire Monday. Nearly all
of the contents were also burned. Mr..
Bockman was alone on the place and
was working in field when he first
noticed the fire. Rushing into the house,
he found the entire upper portion a
mass Of fire. The building burned SO
rapidly that very little of the contents
could be saved.
Mr.. Bockman said some insurance
was carried. Decision as to whether OF
not he will rebuild awaits the return tc
Libby from California of his mother
Mrs. Herman Bockman, who is ex-
pected to arrive here in HAY.

| Low temperatures continued a couple
Of days longer, minimum readings being
four degrees below zero at Kalispell
IS below at Butte and five below at
Priest River, Idaho.
Although the damage caused by the
subsection of growing trees to such
rigorous temperature changes is not
expected to cause widespread timber
losses, some of the trees have been
damaged beyond recovery. Pine trees
carry their needles for about
three years. If the terminal buds are
not damaged new crop of needles will
appear on the ends of the branches,
but it will be three years before the
foliage is fully recovered.
A similar occurrence, a precipitous
drop in temperature on Decem-
Der Is, 1924, caused even greater dam
age than resulted from last October's
plunge. Ponderosa and white pine all

Pine Trees Again Somewhat

spring dress for many of the Pondeross

tana and northern Idaho. 1t is expected
however, that the habitual green will
replace the brown later on in the year

found in the sudden and damaging drop
in temperatures recorded near the close
of last October.

Forest firefighters were still on the

One forest officers were anxiously

The Viking Mining Comany, with

winter.
Supplies were hauled in last fall to
meet the demands for an all-winter's
operations with small crew. Under
the management of Oscar v. Miller,
superintendent for the company, new
$50 cubic foot Chicago pneumatic COM
pressor and new 30-40 Allis Chal-
mers Diesel engine were installed last
fall.
Some exceedingly high grade ore was
uncovered during their exploration
work and in sufficient quantities to
justify plans for a small ore dressing
plant according to reports reaching
this office.
All the required machinery for this
plant has been purchased and will be
ready to be installed just as soon as
weather conditions will permit Num-
