BPR Highway Work
To Stort This Month

Much wonder has been caused of
late over what is causing the delay
in the starting of highway work
here by the bureau of public roads.
r. r. Veldman is. in receipt of a
letter from Engineer Martin, BPR
engineer at Missoula, which under
date of July % says that grading on
the project south of Libby will be
let as soon as right of way can be
secured. The county is now buying
right of way. The delay on the
surfacing units, also south of Lib
by, has been caused by the neces-
sity of redesigning some of the work
because of the washouts a few
months ago. The contract, however,
will be let in August. The gravel
ing and oiling of the project west
of Libby will also be let this month,
says the letter.

Young Lad Rewarded
for Prompt Action

Dick Parker, young son of James
Parker, played a heroic role last
Thursday when he reported small
fire to a nearby workman in the
Neils lumber yard
The lad, passing through the yard
on his way to the mill pond, spied
a small fire in the weeds and grass
close beside one of the piles of
lumber. He Immediately ran to an
employee, who was working close
by, and the two of them extinguished
the fast growing fire.
The fire is supposed to have been
started by a careless smoker who
tossed lighted cigarette into the
dry grass.
r. R. Veldman, who was at the
scene also, rewarded the young man
by sending him dollar bill along
with a letter telling of the Neils
companys appreciation.

Smith, however, was not satisfied.

never would have been caught going
back ever so slightly at the break last
Saturday If Jack Pollard had been on

Pollard is recovering from injuries

I'm not criticizing Workman"
Smith continued. He was new to the

Then. too, Sonny is an old head and
