old-timer to make comparisons be-
tween today and 'yester-year, SO
as | stood and watched Blackwelrs
crew get under way, my thoughts
went back to 1910 and my first fire
that year.
I rustled a crew out of the
hobo jungle at Occur d'Alene.
bought tools and camp equipment
at a hardware store and good sup
plies at a grocery store. I hired a
team from livery stable. to haul
the supplies, and the crew walked,
| don't know the exact time it took
to get under way, but it probably
was nearly II hours. Furthermore,
II was slow moving outfit. with
personnel unframed and so unre-
liable that they were apt to blow I'D
and quit me at any moment. in
fact, several of the crew disap-
peared after they had meal at
Occur d'Alene.
This is in contrast to Black
wells crew of CCC boys getting
away organized and equipped to
travel at 30 miles an hour in lust III
minutes.
Perhaps you never considered it
as such, but here is certainly an epic
development. To every old timer

fIciency of our fire protection forces
must appear as marvel of prog

Expects To
Start Mill
In Spring
Good Grade of Ore Being
Blocked Out At Glacier
Mine.
COMPANY CLEANS
UP INDEBTEDNESS

That the mill at the Glacier Silver
Lead mine will be put in operation
IN the spring was Statement. made
Monday by F. w. Kiesling, secre-
tary, and Cornelius c. Collier, at
torney for the company. The two
men were here from Spokane to at
tend an advertised sale of delin-
,quent stock of the company.
The amount of stock that was
subject to sale because of being de-
hnquent was very small, indeed. at
the time of SALE stated Mr.. Kies-
lng, and we are grateful over this
attitude of the stockholders.
The two men said work at the
mine was going ahead nicely. A
body of ore is being blocked out and
the values are high enough to in
sure operation OF the property at a
profit. They also reported that
nearly all Indebtedness had been
cleaned up, there being only small
funded debt now against the COM
pany. An abstract to the property
has also been secured and every
thing is in readiness for profitable
operation of the mine as a solid
business investment when they feel
the time is ripe for the beginning
of actual production. They expect

Thieves Busy Stealing
Lights From Trees

Thieves are again stealing lights
from the many beautiful lighted
trees that are decorating the homes
and yards of Libby people at this
joyous time of the year.
Those who have been robbed are
lustlfiably indignant They feel
that the decorating of trees during
the Christmas season is a fine prac-
tice, something in which everyone
should take much pleasure. And
something in which everyone should
help. But there are some childishly
minded people or those with bent
for meanness who delight sin de-
stroying what others take pleasure
in doing for the benefit of the COM
munity.
Mrs. E. E. Erickson is one Libby
woman who is highly indignant
over the robbing of her beautifully
Lighted Christmas tree. She says
that a few nights ago, she was look
ing out one of the windows at the
tree in their yard when she saw a
young boy and girl furtively sneak
ing up to the tree. They were high
school boy and girl and Mrs. Erick-
son says she knows them both well.
Just as they reached the tree, the
Erickson telephone rang and Mrs.
Erickson went to answer it. When
she returned, she found that the cul-
prits had stripped the tree of all the
lights as high as they could reach.
Mrs. Erickson is SO indignant she
says that unless the lights are re-
turned and left on the porch, she
will take steps to prosecute the of
tenders.

tree to be held at the Community
Room of the court house Deem
Der 20. The program will begin
