A very interesting and important
meeting of the Thompson Fisher
Home Demonstration club was held
at the club house Sunday, June 20.

the new site of the club house is
among group of pine trees. The

Thieves Ruin Expensive
Mine Motor With Dynamite

According to Sheriff Baney
thieves dynamited an expensive
electric motor about a week ago
at the SnoWstorm mine, eight miles
from Troy. The motor was valued
at about $4,000 and was completely
ruined. The object was to disman-
tie the motor SO as to obtain the
copper, which would be sold for
scrap and which. at the most, would
have brought only comparatively
small sum. Residents in the neigh
borhood heard an explosion one
night, but the perpetrator Of the
deed is not known.
The Snowstorm has been a heavy
loser by having much equipment
stolen at various times, the mine not
having been operated for num-
Der of years. Three or four men
have already been sent to the peni-
tertiary, states Sheriff Baney, for
stealing copper and other equip
ment from the property.

COUNT SHOWS 271
BLIND IN MONTANA

HELENA.-Jud by the
total number Of persons con-
cerned, or measured by the
sum of money expended, the
prevention of blindness and
care for the blind is not the
most important project of the
State Department of Public
Welfare; but blindness and
sight posses a significance all
their own that cannot be cal
culated in coin or measured
by money.
Give us the glorious light of day
and all creation is our possession
the graceful shape of blade and
blossom, the richness of beauty and
the variety of splendor in color,
shade and tincture, the symmetry
the inspiration of all that grows.
More than this is ours through the
seeing eye. The strokes of the Gre
ator's brush across the heavens at
the dawn of day, and the glories Of
the setting sun-treasures that mil
lions cannot purchase, riches that
art galleries built by the hand of
man cannot contain--the vast and
gorgeous paintings of the Master.
Number OF Blind i'm Montana
During October. November and
December, 1886, the Lions Club of
Montana through a special commit
tee made a survey of blind persons
throughout the entire state. The
survey was made by individual clubs
in all counties where there was a
Lions club. The state superintend-
ent of public instruction and the
county superintendent throughout
the state reported for those coun-
ties where there were no such clubs
The report Of this committee
shows 271 blind persons, including
all ages between 5 and So. 1t IS
likely that the number given in
cludes only those that are nearly
or entirely blind. 1t does not in
clude blind Indians who are wards
of the United States. About one
year ago the field forces Of the
Montana Relief Commission also
made a survey of blind persons
throughout the state, but this sur
vey was confined to persons who
would be in need of financial as
sistance, and as result the num-
Der reported is great deal smaller
than the number reported by the
Lions club.
1t should be noted that the rights
and duties of the State Department
of Public Welfare with regard to
blind persons is confined almost ex-
clusively to those in need of aid UNI
der the public welfare program.
Amount of Assistance Available
Under the public welfare act, $l4,-
10000 per annum is appropriated
from state funds for needy blind.
This represents one-third of the
amount which is expected to become
available, one-sixth of the total ex-

Two Teams From Troy
Play in Libby Sunday

Two baseball games have been
arranged for next Sunday for the
fans of the district. On that date
the Troy town team will play the
Libby team and the Troy Midgets
will battle the Libby Midgets. The
game between the Midgets will be
called at 1.30 and will run for five
innings.
The Libby Midgets are what their
name signifies-young lads from 10
10 Il years old. They are under the
tutelage of Charley Allen, that col
ored boy, veteran of the diamond.
He is making a real ball team out
of them. Already they hold their
own with a much older team. Allen
has taught them all the tricks of
the game. They bunt on signal,
lay down sacrifice hits to score, pull
squeeze plays, and perform many
other stunts to confound their OPP
ponents and win scores for them
selves. Allen puts them through a
regular program of exercises to de-
velop and harden them physically.
The youngsters promise to give the
fans their share of the entertain
ment and if they don't win from
Troy it will be because Troy also
has real team of Midgets.
The main event of the afternoon
will be between the town teams OF
the two cities-teams that have
been battling each other in good
natured rivalry for many years. The
Libby team has won goodly share
of victories this year and Troy also
has a number of wins to its credit
Those who enjoy the national sport
should delight in the program ar
ranged for them next Sunday.
