Composer Expresses
Thanks in Letter

Following is letter received by
this paper from Mr.. Carl Expert,
composer of the sympathy, ! ''The
Giants"
Received the copies of the West
ern News and am very pleased with
both stories. You may rest assured
that if there is any forgetting" 60
ing on it certainly will not be the
Experts. Again | want to thank you
personally for all you did. Your
stories and general comments gave
us a great deal of pleasure and a
certain satisfaction in knowing that
the press of Libby not only realized
what I was doing but succeeded in
making the whole community mu-
sic conscious and helped to sustain
lively interest in my work. All
artists are grateful for such service.
II shall ask one more favor !.
that story of some kind be featured
about the favor that Mr.. George
Neils did for me in spending COM
plete dag up in the Troy logging
section-it was due entirely to him
that | got the complete conception
of the last movement of the SYM
phony and in particular the emotion
aroused by the telling of those
great 300 year old yellow pines.
1t was immense and I cannot over
estimate the value of Mr.. Neirs
kindness. As matter of fact, with
out his help / doubt if the last
part could have been written.
Both Mrs. Expert and myself
have rarely experienced such genu-
inc hospitality as we received the
last three days of our stay in Lib
by-three days, three wonderful
dinners-Mrs. Joughin, Mrs. Black
well and Miss Ratekin. We want the
people of Libby to know that we
deeply appreciate everything. You
know, two absolute strangers to
come to town and to be received
with open arms, both socially and
artistically, is something that strikes
deeply In our lives.
I'VE surely feel that we have
made some very interesting and last
ing new friends and we received
the feeling (perhaps sub-conscious-
ly) that this feeling is reciprocated.
My best wishes go out to all
and / do hope that we will sometime
return to Libby for another visit.
Most sincerely yours,
CARL Expert.

Hot Court Bottle
Woged in Bridge
Insurance Case

HELENA.--After a heated session
Friday between lawyers for both
sides, Montana's noW-famous bridge
insurance case was continued by
District Judge Albert Besancon to
September %.
The case then will be argued on
its merits-that is, whether or not
Secretary of State Sam w. Mitchell
and Attorney General Harrison J.
Freebourn should be permanently
restrained from paying $4,000 for
an insurance policy covering Mon
tana's bridges for S12,000,000 for
three years.
AT meeting of the board of ex-
aminers, when Freebourn and
Mitchell voted to buy the policy
and pay the premium immediately.
Governor Roy E. Ayers argued
against the action, pointing out the
state only lost $9,734 in bridge dam
age during the last three years.
John w. Wheeler of Billings, high
way commission member, obtained
a temporary injunction preventing
payment of the premium.
The state highway commission
Friday filed a petition to act as in
tervenor in the case, contending the
policy had not been approved by
Governor Ayers and State Treasur-
err Ray N. Shannon, and that it had
been rejected by the highway com
mission.
John G. Brown, attorney for Free.
bourn and Mitchell, objected to fill
ing the petition, declaring I'VE OBJ
ject to this suit being dragged along
by the people who brought it." E. S
Booth, counsel for the highway com
mission, and <. A. Peterson, high
way attorney, argued that the sui
was brought to save $4,000 IL
Montana taxpayers, and that 4
little delay would hurt no one
Booth told the court he wanted
additional time to contact several
states Freebourn and Mitchell said
had taken out bridge insurance. He
said he had written one state and
had been informed ii had quit car
rying insurance on bridges as it was
considered a needless expenditure.

New Patrolman
Arrests Local People

Highway Patrolman George Mou-
rar announces that by law all cars
approaching one another on the
highway must dim their lights. He
also warns motorists that when pass
ing another car from the rear they
must blow their horn and that
trucks over 30 inches wide must car
ry flares, flags and be equipped with
clearance lights.
If these laws are not obeyed, MFR.
Mourar says, it will be cause for ar
rest.
During the past week Patrolman
Mourar arrested Charles P. Fields

Won't To Know
Why Fish Are Small

Fish in Granite lake rarely grow
to be more than eight inches long.
They are very numerous but some
condition curtails their growth. One
theory for this rarity is that the
fish are inbreeding. Others are
that there is lack of proper food
and that the water is too cold.
An attempt is being made by To-
cal fish hatchery authorities to de-
termine the reason for the stinted
growth. Some time ago several
men caught 43 fish and brought
them to the hatchery where they
will live under normal conditions
In this manner it is hoped that the
reason for this unusual occurrence
may be determined.
At the same time the 43 were
taken from the lake some 700 fish.
four and five inches long, were put
back. If the true reason for the
condition which exists among these
fish is brought to light there will
undoubtedly be some action started
to ward it off.

Much Gold
Re(overed0n
Libby Creek
Extensive Placer Operations
Being Carried On There
By Davis & White.
USING LARGE POWER
SHOVEL AND TRUCKS

A mining development of con-
siderable magnitude has been going
on in the Libby district for the past
several months but it has attracted
little attention. It is a placer on
Grafton. The mining is under way
on upper Libby creek-on the
ground lying between Libby and
Howard creeks, in the vicinity of
Howard lake.
A number of months ago Davis &
White of Bellingham, Wash, took a
longtime lease on the property and
have since been devoting much time
and money to its development. They
recently purchased large power
shovel from the J. NeiIs Lumber
company. The shovel is now at
work on the property, scooping zup
the gold-laden earth, while from
four to five trucks are kept busy
hauling the earth to the plant for
the saving of the gold
This plant consists of a power
screen, which removes all the heavy
rock and gravel The residue is
washed down through the rifles,
where the placer gold is caught and
saved. A number of clean-ups have
been made and while the exact value
Of the recovered gold has not been
made public, yet it can be said the
operations have proven very salts
factory and that quite a quantity of
gold has been recovered.
The company owns its own BULL
dozer and with its use has practic-
ally reconstructed the old road from
the Midas mine over to Ramsey
creek, widening the roadbed, filling
Expressions and making similar i'm
This work was done
50 as to take in the big power
shovel by way of the West Fisher
and Midas mine. 1t was feared the
bridges on the Libby creek road
might not hold up the heavy shovel.
In addition to the actual mining
work now under way, camp build
ngs are being constructed for 27
men.
Davis & White are extensive rail-
way and highway contractors who
decided to put some of their equip
ment to work at mining gold.

The agents sell tracts and books, all directed against the Catholic church. Venomous accusations are made against the Catholic church, with many of the claims made so ridiculous as to be laughable.
 Without Permission
 Yesterday Police Supt. Roach said he had received no complaints about distribution of tracts, and stated he would act at once on any complaints made. The agents, he asserted. should have police permission be- fore making any hollse-t house sales.
 Jehovah's Witnesses are headed by Judge Rutherford, who is author Of all the books and tracts offered for sale by the agents.
 One of the books, Enemies" is a lengthy tirade against the Catholic church and the Catholic clergy. All religion, says the volume, is "rac- ket" and it goes on to "eXpose" it.
 There is no doubt but that Catho- 1ACo WILL 1lIlNl lLlC VOluALlC OllcllSlNC in the extreme. It is filled with big otry, hatred and prejudice; it makes claims that would be absurd were it not for the malice behind them.
 Jews AssaiIed
 The book also finds time, while assailing the Catholic church, to at tack the Jews, maligning them dis gracefully.
 Following are few samples of the absurdities to be found in Enemies:
 All liars and murderers are re- ligionists."
 Catholic officials do not hesitate to promulgate lies"
 ''The Roman Catholic Hierarchy have told the common people that they must not read the Bible" Germany is secretly ruled by the Roman Catholic Hierarchy and the Devil"
 Cool Reception" In many homes about the city which they have visited, the Watch Tower agents have met with very cool receptions. Catholics familiar with Judge Rutherford and his creed have lost no time in sending the solicitors on their way.
