Brings Many
Pieces of Rood
Machinery to LIB,

A crew OF the G. A. Wagner COM
pany brought number Of pieces Of
road machinery to Libby the past
week. They will be. stored here
until work opens next spring on the
crawling and oiling contract.
The machinery was shipped from
the eastern part of tire state to
Noxon and from there was brought
to Libby over the Bull lake road
under its own power. 1t was deemed
impossible to bring some of the
large pieces over that road without
first reworking it, so two large
road patrols were sent out ahead Of
the machinery to pillow out snow
and work over sharp, narrow
curves SO as to make them more
passable. The second patrol fol-
lowed, smoothing the road, filling
hollows, etc. The road was re-
worked much of the way from Nox-
on to No in order to permit pass
age. Of the machinery and now is
said to be in fine condition.
All work on the Wagner contract
was shut down few days before
Christmas and will remain suspend
ed until next spring.

Owners Will Face Double
Expense IL They Go
Elsewhere for Plates.
ATTORNEY EXPLAINS
POINTS IN STATUTE

County Attorney Thomas D. Long,
in an interview concerning registra-
ton Of automobiles and procuring
of license plates under the new law,
is quoted as follows:
1T is rumored that some people
who live in Lincoln county and who
owned motor vehicles situate and
taxable in Lincoln county Janur
airy |, 1888, have announced their
intention, for the reason that it is
more convenient for them to do
so, of going to some other county
and making application for regis
tration of their motor vehicles.
1.-THE law is plain that every own
err of a motor vehicle must apply
to the county treasurer of the coun-
ty wherein such motor vehicle is
owned or is taxable on January LIST,
for registration or re-registration,
upon a specially prepared blank,
and In addition to bis name and
address must give the county, school
district, and town or city within
whose corporate limits the motor
vehicle Is taxable. 1t Ia plain, there
fore, that II an owner went to Kali
ispell, for instance, he could 6n1y
succeed in having his car registered
by misstating the name of the coun-
ty, school district, and town or city
In which the motor vehicle is tax
able. II he did this his registra-
ton would be of no effect and the
money that he paid to the treasurer
of Flathead county would get him
nothing, because he could not OBJ
tain valid registration of his We
hicle unless and until he had paid
the taxes on the vehicle in Lincoln
county AS result, If the owner
OF motor vehicle taxable in Lin
coin county obtained registration
and license in another county. his
car would be liable to seizure and
sale for taxes due Lincoln county.
and I am advised by the proper
county authorities that they will be
on the lookout for any such az
tempted evasion oil the law. II
should be easily understood bv ev-
eryone that taxes must be maid i'm
lrne county where the taxable prou-
erty Is situated, and that tx q per
son pays lsxAs OH his property LIN

SUGGESTS DIFFERENT
PLAN FOR SAVING

HELENA,-In recent letter to
Montanas, Inc, the. state chamber
of commerce. ]. Montgomery of
the American Automobile Associa.
ton in Wastingtoft,9D.e.lwrit writes:
I'VE are confronted with serious
condition which will arise about
the middle of January when bill
providing fer4the reduction of fed
eral highway funds will be intro
.duced IN congress. Montanans,
Inc, has already, gone on record as
suggesting that, before such a re-
ducfion In funds be approved seri-
GUS consideration be given the ulti
mate effects.
According to information received
from the Montana Highway Commits
sion, there are, at present, $50 miles
of primary roads on which nat=ane
dollar of federal monies has been
spent. Perhaps more serious, are
the 1,700 miles of primary roads
which will need immediate attention
and rebuilding If the highway
commission is to continue to func-
ton in its usual efficient manner
it must have at least 100000 q
year in federal funds. This means
as Montana's share in the federal
appropriation is, roughly, two per-
cent, that a total of $15,000,000 q
year for the entire United States
must be expended.
Montanans, Inc, contends that il
a saving in highway funds is de.
nanded that the saving should be
made from such recent federal prof.
ects as roadside. Identification anc
grade crossing elimination, as valu,
able as they may be, and that every
effort should be concentrated upor
maintaining the federal appropria
ton for m-to-market roads ant

Young Man Gets Fine
Training i'm II. $. Navy

All those youths throughout the
lnter-mountaln area who, for the
past several months, have been SER
lously considering career in the
u. S. navy should now start the
New Year off right by making that
final decision to enlist.
Training in the navy begins on
the day that man enters the SER
vice and ends on the day that he
leaves it. Thousands of men who
leave the service each year and re-
turn to civil life include men of
every degree of experience and skill,
and others must be trained to take
their places. Even men who have
reached high degree of proficiency
must be further trained to fill the
places of still better men. Training
courses, which are supplementary
to the navy's SIS trade schools, are
issued free by the navy and are an
important part of the navy's train
ing system Study is carried on I'M
der the direction of officers on board
ship and at all stations and neces-
sary assistance is furnished men who
wish to continue their education or
improve themselves. Along with
various training courses the man
is given practical working expert
ence, SO he not only gets the theory
but also the practical working ex-
perience which makes it an almost
ideal combination.
To determine the value Of an en-
llstment in the navy, one of our
nations most popular magazines
sent out QUESTIONABLE to several
hundred former bfueJackets whose
names were picked at random from
hist supplied by the navy depart
ment In reply, more than $50
answers were received to questions
asking, among other things, the pres
ent position, salary, and estimate
of the value of time spent in the
navy. The unbiased replies showed
that 86% were working at skilled
trades. which they had learned in
the service, with an average salary
OF $l65 per month. Some few were
high paid executives, many were
bosses of shops, foundries, or were
foremen in big plants; 979o said
they felt if they had il. to do all
over again that they would enlist
in the navy; 93% thought navy
training OF great value for ciwilian
Life, and 74% said they would rec
lommend the navy as a permanent
vocation.
These figures should prove most
interesting to all young men who
contemplate an enlistment in the
Y. 5. navy. What makes the facts
disclosed by this investigation es,
pecially convincing is that only mer
who had left the navy were cues.
toned, and those who did abe in.
vestigation and who figured the av.
erages were civilians, and were ir
no way connected with the navy.
Each year the navy-trained mar
leaving the service is better trained
and therefore better equipped Il
make a success in life. The United
States navy is truly the. School O
the Nation" :

TURKEY SHIPMENTS SHRINK

A total of only 276,970 pounds of
turkeys was shipped to the Christ
mas markets by cooperative turkey
pools in Montana this year, accord
ing to Miss I'll. E. Cushman, extern
sion poultry specialist at Montana
State college. The shipment this
year showed a big decrease from
last years Christmas shipment
of 774,785 pounds. Two factors ac-
count for the decline in the states
turkey population, she said. First,
lack of feed in drouth areas of the
state, and second, the small spread
between feed prices and turkey
prices in 1896 which discouraged
many growers from raising turkeys
in 1897.
