Plans for Swimming Pool
Project Go To Headquarters

A WPA engineer was recently ir
Libby and went over with Pau
Church, Lincoln county relief adj
ministrator, plans for. the proposed
municipal swimming pool in Libby
He was favorably impressed with
the plans as outlined, as his de-
partment has desired a project OF
that nature here to absorb labor by
those who are on relief rolls.
Church reports that the plans for
the pool and the improving of the
athletic field will cost from $4,000
to $4,000. Of this amount the labor
cost will run to about $4,000, he
says. 1t also will provide labor over
a IL months period. Detailed plans
have gone into WPA headquarters
for approval.

Unknown Culprits
Doub AirpIones
With Messy Point

Some unknown person or persons
went to the Libby airport Monday
night and daubed promiscuously the
two airplanes at the port. The Phil
lips Farris ship was quite badly
daubed, but the Asleson plane re-
ceived less attention. Orange and
white paint was used.
Sheriff Baney says the act was
quite serious offense and he would
like to apprehend the guilty ones.
It may have been done by young
sters and he asks parents, if they
have noticed any orange and white
paint on their boys clothes, to CO.
operate by reporting to him, as the
culprits should not be allowed to
get away with the offense without
being given proper attention.

Boyes Named
County Choirmon
On Come Program

A few weeks before his recent and
sudden death, T. NJ. Marlowe of Mis-
soula, president of the Western Mon
tana Fish and Game commission,
named E. NJ. Boyes of Libby county
'xhairman to assist in planning pro-
gram for National Wildlife Restora-
ton Week.
In his letter to Boyes, Marlowe
wrote: 1.-THE National Wildlife Fed
Grafton of Washington, d. c., is now
the largest organization of its kind
having to do with wildlife restora-
ton and conservation. The officials
of this organization have prevailed
upon President Roosevelt to set aside
the week beginning March 20, next
as National Wildlife Restoration
Week"
THE idea is that during this week
the sportsmen and men of the ma
ton will sell to the public the neces-
sity for more intensified program
of wildife restoration and conserva-
ton. Every organization in the ma
ton interested in wildlife will be
called upon to take a part in this
mammoth drive, and those inter-
ested in its welfare are now or
ganizing for this purpose"
Marlowe was NAMED chairman oil

ing of Missoula, Ravalli, Mineral

Breaks Leg While Coasting.

Violet Becker was so unfortunate
as to break her left leg below the
knee while coasting Saturday night
near. the ski slide. She was one OF
a party of six young people who
were going down the hill on a
homemade toboggan when the to-
boggan became unmanageable and
headed for stump. To avoid the
stump the toboggan was turned
sharply at right angles to the slide
and the riders were dumped off ir
pile. In the mixup Miss Viole
suffered the injury. She was taker
to the Libby hospital where tht
fracture was reduced.

all the staff of the Unemployment

NEWSPR|NT PAPER
COSTS SKYIROCkET.
Prices Now in Effect Larg-
est Single Advar1ce Ever
Imposed

chattanooga, Tenn, Jan. 10-In-
crease in price of newsprint paper on
January 1, 1888, of IT'S percent to
publishers generally and 20 per cent
to publishers in Texas, is the largest
single advance in the history of daily
newspaper publishing and many Sou
thern daily newspapers are being fore
ed to take steps to bring about econo-
mics, increase both advertising and
subscription rates, according to infor-
nation gathered by the Southern
Newspaper Publishers Association
maintaining headquarters offices here.
The New York base price of news
print is going up from $42.50 per ton
to $4,000 per ton, and publishers in
: the south are paying more because
of transportation charges being in
cluded in the delivered price on ship
ments from Canada and Northern
United States.
The cost to publishers at Texas in
terror cities is being increased from
$45.3O to $54.30, which is an increase
of approximately 20 per cent against
a 17.5 per cent increase elsewhere.
All Texas publishers use about 1885,
COO tons of. newsprint annually, there
fore they are faced with an increase
in this one item of oyer on million
dollars.
In "a months there has been an in
crease of Is per cent because the
base New York price went up from
$4,000 per ton to $41.0O per ton on
January 1, 1886, with another increase
of $3.50 per ton on January 1, 1887
1T looks to me like the immediate
effect of these increases is to cause
publishers to reduce consumption.
Figures already show more newsprint
production and greater capacity than
demand. The price has been raised
without consideration of the law of
supply and demand and it seems to
me that publishers are going to have
to reduce consumption to bring about
