Large Crowd Attends
A. MI. Hoffman Funeral

One of the most largely attended
funerals ever to be held in Libby
was that for A. M. (Archie) Hoff-
man, who died suddenly of a heart
attack on February 9. Services were
in charge of the Masonic order, of
which he had long been member,
and were held Saturday afternoon in
the Gompf chapel. During the short
but impressive Masonic service, APP
propriate songs were sung by Mrs.
J. A. Krall, with Mrs. Gleason at
the piano.
Assisting at the services we're the
members of the Libby volunteer
fire department, of which organiza-
ton Mr.. Hoffman had long been the
chief. Every member of the depart
ment was present, in uniform. and
six of them acted as pallbearers.
They were W. Fl. Kemp, A. L.
Thompson, Ray Pival, Harold Mil
Ter, E. j. Driear and George Woods.
Honorary pallbearers were M. ID.
Rowland and <. M. Boyes.
The remains were carried to the
cemetery in fire department truck,

standing on each side-ef the coffin,
on the running boards.
At the chapel the coffin was
banked with masses of flowers, the
gifts of sorroWing friends.
In spite of cold and stormy day,
the streets surrounding the chapel
were filled with the cars of friends,
and one of the largest funeral pro-
cessions ever in Libby wended its
way to the final resting place fol
lowing the chapel services.

City of Libby
Assumes Pool Project

At meeting of the Libby city
council Monday night, at which were
also present various other interest
ed parties, it was definitely decided
that the city would assume the
swimming pool project as a city un-
dertaking It was necessary to do
this in order that application might
be properly made for a WPA grant
After a discussion of all the factors
involved, plans and blue prints were
approved and the next. day they
were mailed to state headquarters
requesting WPA grant.
The project includes not only the
building of swimming pool but also
grandstand at the ball park and
other improvements there Total
cost is figured at s21 ,805.00, of which
the labor cost will be S13,928.00.

Fighters If Condition
For Boxing Tournament

The fighters are just about ready
to go for the DeMolay smoker Sat
urday night. Albert johnson and
Jim Evans are in fine shape and
they really intend to do their best.
Albert has a wicked right and Jim
a left which IS just as effective.
They are both very fast and hard
hitting, SO this should prove to be
one of the best bouts of the evening.
Casey Matuna, Ed. Holidays OBJ
ponent, is from the local CCC camp
but halls from Cleveland, Ohio.
where he has had experience as an
amateur fighter when he went to
high school He has good timing
and delivers some powerful punches
so should keep Holiday guessing.
Both weigh IT'S pounds SO this should
prove to be very good bout also.
Moe" Borden, who was nick
named Handsome in high school
has learned to use his 'mitts" in or
der to protect his face, and seems
very capable of doing so. Don Au-
prey, his opponent, was good when
he started training but has shown
q great deal of improvement in the
last month so he will keep Moe on
the Jump. However, they seem very
evenly matched and the results of
TINS tight should prove interesting.
IL is surprising how much in earn
est the boys are when training, and
II they call it sparring when / was
watching them the other night |
wonder what they will do when they
really fight. Several of the other
bouts should be just as fast as the
above three.

Well Known Resort
Is Token Over By
Libby Resident

a deal that has been pending for
some time was brought to a con-
clusion during the past week where
by A. j. McGraw of this city took
ever the well known resort, Hap
py's Inn, located on highway No. 2
about 45 miles south of Libby. The
former owners, Mr.. and Mrs. r. j.
Townsend, were induced to dispose
of the property because of failing
health.
Mr.. McGraw plans extensive inn
provements for the property, most
of which will be worked out gradu-
ally. But first there will be in
stallef an adequate lighting and
noWef plant, operated by a Diesel
engine. This will provide lights for
all the buildings and for what power
IS needed. The sinking of a well is
also being considered, although this
has not been fully decided as yet.
Eventually number of new and
modern cabins will be erected, said
Mr.. McGraW. Some of the present
cabins will probably be moved down
to the shore of beautiful CRYSTAL
lake and equipped SO as to provide
comfortable quarters for families or
groups of friends who desire to
spend an outing at the lake but
who also wish little more privacy
than is possible in the midst of a
busy resort.
Mr.. McGraw is an energetic Young
man and has in mind the develop
ing OF one of the most popular re-
sorts in the Inland Empire. He ex-
poets to make his place one of
warm hospitality and comfort. He
plans to keep the Inn open through
out the winter as we'll as in the
summer, expecting to provide at
fractions that will draw winter
sports lovers to the place

Jack Frost
Leaves Libby for
Greener Fields

Arriving a little early in the sea
son, Jack Frost dropped into Libb,
last fall and made his abode here
for some time. Although it is agar
little early for him to leave, nev.
ertheless he departed last Saturday
night some time between sunset
and sunrise, leaving a lot of wilted
vegetation in his wake. The wilted
vegetation consists of a lot oil
pocketbooks and bank accounts
that are not nearly SO healthy as
they were before the visit of dear
old Jack Frost.
But the Jack Frost of this occasion
had a wife and daughter. He and
the wife were teachers of the latest
in tripping the light fantastic. They
proceeded to impart their art to
large Libby classes for the past sew
eral months. But longing for green
er pastures to wilt, Jack and his
family tripped the light fantastic
for parts unknown, after having
cleaned up goodly sum from UNI
suspecting friends.
The story is the same old one of a
cheerful and pleasant stranger fat
.tening off the easy gulIibility of the
unsuspecting. Since it became
known that the tap dancer teachers
had departed for parts unknown,
many sorroWing people have called
at the sheriff's office with tales of
woe. 1t appears that numerous bust
ness houses are poorer but maybe
somewhat wiser now that Jack has
departed.
According to Sheriff Baney the
unpaid bills run all the way
from $500 to $4,000, A great
many are left holding the sack
Jack and his helpmate, Iva, were
free spenders. 1t appears that Jack
bought fine new radio-on con-
tract--and presented it as a gift
to dear friend here in Libby. Of
course, the friend will either have
to pay for the radio or lose it. And
Jack worked his system with fl
nesse that showed much skill. He
called upon two or three friends
late Saturday night with the plea
that he was badly in need of some
ready cash but that the banks were
closed and could the friends help
him out with the loan of a few
dollars?. He struck one man for $40,
he got $40 He bamboozled another
into loaning him $4,000. Oh, my
But the meanest stunt pulled by this
pair was the Fleeing of an unsus-
pecting woman who has to make
her own living by her own hard
labor. Iva was the operator in this
instance, so it is alleged. Iva GOT
the woman to loan her $4,000 Of
her hard earned money, giving the
woman note that is to fall due
about March /. Everything is fair
for such hunters-Widows and or
phanS and the unsuspecting, as. well
as WISE business men.
Il business man, one of the losers,
Iaughingly remarked, "Oh, well,
guess we are all E. T. Marks. We
cuss for a while now but tomorrow
or week or two hence Some other
smooth slicker will come along with
a genial face, smiling countenance,
a good mixer and a good drinker
and we'll. all tumble again" And
amt it the truth! 1t looks as though
we all would.
Sheriff Baney has circulars out
saying that he thinks the public
ought to be warned against these
"sWindlers, and that he would like
to learn Of their whereabouts. He
says the total credit obtained by
them here will run from $500
to 5000.

Lions Pause
In Respect To
Departed Member

Pausing briefly in the midst of
an evening filled with mirth and
good cheer, the Libby Lions paid
silent tribute to the memory or a
departed friend, Lion A. M. Hoff-
man, at their meeting Monday night,
in the parlors of the Presbyterian
church. Lion Krall, at an appro-
pirate moment, asked. for the seri-
GUS attention of the members and
then pronounced a brief eulogy for
the departed member, He closed by
asking the Lions to join in moment
of silent meditation. This was done
and was terminated by the tap of
the gavel AS the gavel fell, Lion
Krall moved that letter of con-
dolence be sent to the Borrowing
widow. The motion was unanimous
ly carried.
In his eulogy Lion Krall said:
"A good Lion has gone before;
Lion Archie Hoffman. 1t is fitting
and proper that we should pay
tribute to his memory. All around
us we see evidence of his good work
and people about town are talking
of his good deeds and kind acts, and
we can really and truly say that
he was good Lion and that the
people of Libby have lost friend
and a good Lion has gone before.
Therefore in due respect to his
honor and memory let lis pause and
mediate for just a moment until
the sound of the gavel breaks the
silence"
The meeting was provided over
by Vice President James Christie
in the absence Of President Marshall
Murray. Lion Christie reported for
the Ladies' Night entertainment
committee, stating the income and
the deficit which was to be made
up out of the treasury. At this
time Lion Brindley moved that the
committee be highly complimented
for providing one Of the finest en-
tertainmnets ever staged by the
Lions. He said the unanimous de-
cision was that the affair was UNI
usually successful and that every
one present had a most enjoyable
time. A unanimous vote of thanks
was extended to the committee and
a rousing Lions roar given in their
honor. The committee was COM
posed of James Christie, Fred Clou-
tier, Jack SWarens, George Woods
and c. ]. Lillevig.~
Lion Carlton Joughin reported
briefly on what was being done in
connection with the sustained
yield" in timber that is being worked
out for this district. Lion Krall then
indicted Max Sturm into member
ship in the club. He told briefly
the purposes of the organization and
administered the oath. Up to this
time there had been considerable
ihilarity and when the new member
was called on for a speech" he re-
sponded by saying Il can see that as
individuals you are fine bunch of
fellows but collectively I am sure
a fellow wants to look out for you"
He then expressed his pleasure at
becoming a Lion and promised to do
his part in the organization. He also
was given a Lions roar
A guest of the club was +. O.
Gunkel, representative of The Cali
fornia Company, who was present
upon the invitation of Lion G. "
Manion. Mr.. Gunkei was intro
duced in the usual Lions method
and was also given a roar. He said
he admired the spirit SO evident in
the meeting and thanked the cluL
for the courtesy extended him.
