Mrs. Harper Sibley, who sue
ceeded Mrs. Roosevelt as chairman
of the Women's Committee. Mobil'
ization for Human Needs, in her
address to the asSemblage yeSter-
day stated that to successfully
combat communism the youth OF
this country must turn to religion.
She said:
"The reason young people are
interested in communism Is be.
cause Of its International scope.
When they realize that Christi
anity is the greatest interna-
tiOnal philosophy the world has
ever known, they will turn to 1t
as an outlet for their interest in
international affairs rather than
the radical movements which so
many of them have already
Joined"
CITES DIFFERENCE
Mrs. Sibley added that young
people do not differentiate as did
past generations between personal
and social religion.
"ReligiOn must now be both
personal and social in its char
acter to interest the modern
yOungster."
She stated that religion should
not be unreasonable or unSclen'
tific, concluding:
"ReasOn and science cannot
explain religion. That in itself
would be unreasonable. 1t must
be born Of the great faith which
our fOrefatherS had and which
we must cherish and respect"

That the Libby plant of

as to triple production was
the statement made yester-
day by VIC. Nagel of De-
troit, president of the COM
pany, who was here for the

Contractor Pushing Work on Highway
Between kolispeII, Libby and Troy

proximately 35 miles in the Miller
creek section.
1t should be remembered that
none of this work will be complete
ly finished under present contracts.
AS stated by this newspaper last
week, the state highway commission
does not plan to oil any of the
highway between Troy, Libby and
Kalispell this year. Whenever pos
sible, the commission has adopted a
policy of surfaeing a road one year
and permitting it to settle until the
following year before oiling. En-
gineers sazr this gives much better
finished job than can be had by
Immediately oiling.
From the end of the oiled sec
ton at McGregor lake to the Idaho
state line, there is approximately IS
miles of uncompleted highway on
No. 2. None of it has been oiled ex-
cept the three miles extending
southwark from Libby.
The Western news. [volume] (Libby, Mont.) 1933-current, 1937-07-29

A number of letters have gone in
to Governor Ayers and the highway
commission from Libby people dur
ing the past week. They all have
urged the early completion of high
way No. 2. Undoubtedly many more
letters will be written inasmuch as
the people of this part of the state
are becoming most thoroughly
aroused over this continual delay in
giving this part of the state de-
cent highway. And naturally, those
who have this work in hand will be
held responsible.
There are unanswerable reasons
why this-one of the major high
ways of the state-should at last be
completed. We understand that
Great Northern officials have writ
ten letters to the highway commits
sion protesting against the hazard
to their trains caused by dust from
the nearby highway. Report is tc
the effect the letter said engineers
at times could not see the block
signals because of the dense dusi
from the highway and had beer
forced to slow down their trains
The same condition has forced
workmen on speeders to slow dowr
in order to be able to read thu
signals. The railroad urges an early
Ioiling of the highway.

Contractors who were re-
Gently awarded projects on
the Libby-Kalispell sections
of highway No. 2 are getting
onto the work and are push
ing it with much vigor, ac-
cording to reports reaching
this city.
One of the latest contracts to be
let was to Poston Bros. They are
clearing and grading five miles
from McGregor lake to the Lincoln
county line. This side of the Postors
project, Morrison Knutun are work
ing on 81 miles. They have the
grading about completed and are
putting on the subbase of gravel.
The state is surfacing a sector be-
tween Libby and Troy and the bu-
reau of public roads is improving
a 4.5-mile project east from where
the Wolf crek road comes in.
When the work now under con-
tract has been completed, there will
remain only as miles of ungraded
road between Troy and KaIispell.
The ungraded section will lie be-
tween the work now being done by
the G. D. Lyon Co in the Fisher
river district and the Elk hill. The

Libby Man Digs Well,
Taps Stream of Water

William Doak undoubtedly has the
prize we'll of this district on his
residence property in east Libby.
Recently he started digging a well
and when down II feet struck a
heavy flow of water that came up
in the we'll about six feet. He
hitched centrifugal pump onto it
and started throwing stream of
water that filled completely a six
inch stove pipe. He operated the
pump two days without lowering
the water to any extent. 1t is be-
lieved he has tapped an under
ground stream. The water is clear
as crystal and cold
Mr.. Doak lead the water onto his
garden and also onto a patch of
alfalfa, each of which was given
thorough wetting The alfalfa now
stands two feet high and will soon
be ready for the second cutting.
Doak figures he will get a third
crop now that he has water for ir-
rigation.

RULE FOR CAMPERS.

The rules to campers regarding
fires are simple The forest reserves
and state parks are filled with signs
advising the visitor where fires may
be built and where smoking is per-
INVISIBLE In national forests smok-
ing is only allowed in certain des-
ignated areas. No smoldering camp
fire must be left when a camp is
broken UP. No burning matches or
burning tobacco may be tossed
away.
The fire prevention rules are SO
simple any person can obey them
Every person entering fire hazard
zones this summer should appoint
himself a volunteer fire warden to
see that neither he nor any member
of his party is responsible for a
blaze. If that is done the fire loss
this year will be greatly reduced

Leaves To Accept
Responsible Position

j. w. (BilD Farris left for Mis-
soula Sunday to accept the position
of forest fire aerial patrol of Region
One of the U. S. forest service. Far
ris was chosen for this position by
forest service officials because of
his past experience in nine years of
forestry work and flying.
Among the various duties to which
Farris will be assigned is the di-
recting from the air by twoway
radio of large fires before they are
controlled. This will result in
much faster control as ''hot spots
can be detected at once and by
means of radio ground crews can be
dispatched Immediately.
Farris will assume his new duties
at once upon arrival at the regional
office.

These figures are official and
there is no question as to their au
thenticity.
Multiplying those two totals by
the state tax of Sc per gallon gives
the sums that have been paid each
year into the state highway depart
ment by people Of Lincoln county.
The net amount paid in the Sc
gas tax is somewhat less than in
dictated in the above figures, be-
cause of refunds paid to those who
use gasoline for industrial purposes.
Gasoline that is not used for travel
over the highways pays no tax.
However, this refund would prob
ably be less than Is per cent
In passing, it might be of inter-
est to call attention to the fact
that this is an example of indirect
taxation In two years the people
of the county have paid out SOL
277.05 plus the federal tax of $18,-
565.78, or the grand total of $780,
842.83 and have probably not real
ICED at all that it was tax.

Largest Number
Ever at Libby
Comp Meeting

The Church of God campmeetine
closed Sunday evening with what
is considered the largest crowd of
ever attended. From every point
of view it was the most successful
meeting ever held in Libby.
About Is ministers from all parts
of the district, and some from out
side, were present. Among them
were DR.. A. T. Rowe, general man.
ager of The Gospel Trumpet Pub
fishing CO. of Anderson, Ind, and
his wife, who is also minister and
editor of the Sunday school papers
used in the work wherever the re-
formation exists. They were both
excellent speakers and made many
friends during their short stay. In
Rev. RoWe's first sermon he gave a
brief history of how the Reforma-
ton started and what had been done
up to the present time. The other
sermon told where we 60 from here
on 1t was very interesting and
enlightening. The same was true
of Mrs. RoWe's talk on Sunday
school work. One fact that re-
mains in our memory is that the
Church of God now has. 81 camp
meetings every year in the United
States and Canada. These are di-
vided into different districts and
much good is being accomplished
through these and other methods.
The sad thing about 1t is this,
that the business people of this
city cannot see any good or any
benefit that this campmeeting is
to our community and therefore do
not bother to attend or contribute
in any way, when in reality it
brings a great deal of business in,
besides a good influence, which is
worth far more. We know, too, of
several good families who have been
drawn to Libby and bought homes
here directly through coming to the
campmeeting and most people who
attend Church of God campmeet-
ings are good, law abiding citizens.

Libby Pays
Large Sum
10 Highways
Donates Over SCI, 900 in Two
Years for Road Building
in Montana.
NEARLY 1913, 100000
FROM LINCOLN COUNTY

Here is a bit of news that
will interest auto owners in
view of the present discus
sion regarding highway mat
ters.
Users of gasoline in Libby
and vicinity paid $35,477.30
in 1885 into the state high
way department for use in
constructing highways. Last
year that sum dropped some
what but it still aggregated
the large sum of $26,829.75.
Stated another way, consumers
of gasoline in Libby and vicinity
donated in the past two years the
handsome sum of $61 ,27705 to the
state highway department. Would
not it be interesting to know how
much this community has paid in
to that fund during the past 10
years?
In addition to the above sum pur-
chasers of gasoline in Libby also
paid cent tax to the federal
government during those years.
That would amount to $685. As in
1885 and $5,365.95 in 1885. These
later sums went to the federal gov
eminent and have nothing to do
with highway construction by the
state of Montana
1t is also very interesting to know
that in 1885 there was paid out of
Lincoln county, the sum of $49,-
003 AS into the highway department,
and in 1885 the sum of $43, 800. As
went from this county for the same
purpose. I'm the two years, pay
ment by Lincoln county people and
those travelling by auto through the
county, totaled $92, 1850. Sales of
gasoline from the three centers in
the county were as follows:
