May Rent Old Court
Room for School Purposes

Negotiations are pending between
the Libby school board and the
county commissioners for the rent
ing of the court room in the old
court house. Because of crowded
conditions the school board is forced
to find outside quarters for few
grades. 1t is understood the plan
is to rent the old court room if the
fire department will approve it from
the standpoint of fire danger. If
taken, the room will be partitioned
for two or three grades, say MEM
bers of the board.

During the past week ]. w. Bar
rett closed deal for the sale OF a
group of claims held by himself,
Tom Hugill and associates. The
group comprises four claims on Poor
Man creek, about Is miles from
Libby. They carry lead, silver and
gold values
The purchasers are Jack Willis

Missoula. Willis is a mining en-
gineer.

That is one good reason why this
badly needed improvement should
be made without further delay. The
state now has thousands of dollars
invested in highway construction
through here. 1t is rapidly going
to rack and ruin. 1t is being badly
cut up, surface material is being
blown off. Furthermore, a high
way is built to be used. 1t cannot
be safely used under present con-
ditions. Thousands of people are
being routed away from this sec
ton because of road conditions and
large sums of money lost to Mon
tana people because of the delay III
completing this highway. A huge
investment lying idle when it ought
to be used by the travelling public;
much of it going to ruin when il
might just as well be put in first
class condition and the destruction
stopped That is poor business.

called for completion of two major
highways across the state. FRS

500 per cent in poundage in decade.
And a similar story could be told of

development of the zinc alloys and

accounts for the sreat majority of the
other fourth.

NATIONAL INCOME
EXPECTED TO RISE
Largest Total Since 1929
Predicted When Year
Comes to Close.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, September 1.-THE
national income produced in the
United States in July showed a suffi-
Gent rise to more than offset the de-
cline during the previous three
months, according to the Alexander
Hamilton Institute.
The national income consequently
reached a new peak for the recovery
movement. 1t amounted to S6.172,-
100000 in July, as compared with S.
854, 900, 600 in June and with the pre-
vious peak of $6,149, 100000 last Oc-
tober.
1t was l2.1 per cent larger than in
July last year, when it amounted to
S5,5O6, 100000. For the first seven
months, the national income totaled
Sal ,38l 900, 900 this year, as against
s34,806 900, 900 last year, an increase
Of 1873 per cent.
1t is possible that when the re-
turns for August become available they
will show that the national lcome re-
celVed setback. Expansion, how
ever, Is In prospect for September and
October. During the final two months
OF the year rather pronounced re-
cession will probably occur.
While the national income during
November and December may not
come up to the 1886 level, gains in pre-
vious months should result in the 1887
annual income amounting to between
$4,000, 100000, and $4,000, 900 900. as
compared with s63. 799, 100000 in 1886.
The national income this year will
thus be the largest since the pre-de-
preston year 1929, and will not fall far
short OF the record high figure of $780,
7o7,00o,0O0 attained in that year.
