Who Soid No. 2
Highway Not Open?

It appears that many tourists are
being routed away from this dis
trict by both Kalispell and Sand
point because of the belief that
highway No. is closed. Joe Ku-
java is the authority for this in
formation. He says numerous tour
lists have expressed surprise be-
cause they found No. open be-
tween Libby and Kalispell and said
they had been told it was closed.
This error should be corrected.
People are travelling over No.
daily between Libby and Kalispell.
A bus line likewise makes daily
trips. At one place a short detour
Is necessary but it is only a short
and easy one.
It's too bad to have tourists routed
away from this part of the state.
They lose SO much when that is
done. Many of the tourists are out
on vacations and they wish to enjoy
as many scenic beauties as possible.
When they are routed away from
this corner of the state, they miss
one of the most beautiful spots in
the entire Northwest. Our neigh
bors both at kalispell and Standpoint
should keep somewhat better posted
as to the true condition of the high ].

Will Check Further
On Radio Interference

That city officials intend to push
vigorously the campaign to elimi-
nate radio interference in the city
was signified this week by informa-
ton given out by Alderman James
Harris, who is a member of the
special radio committee. Harris
said the city was making arrange
ments to secure the use of ma
chine from Boomers Ferry that
would locate where interference is
originating In operation the ma
chine is placed in an auto and moved
over the streets of the city. AS il
passes houses or places of business
where there is interference, it will
show that there is interference orig
mating there. The owners will then
be required to correct the trouble
Anyone refusing to cooperate will
be proceeded against under the pro-
visions of a city ordinance enacted
for the purpose. Harris said the
city will probably buy one of the
machines in the near future.
A large number of citizens are
voluntarily doing what they can tc
help eradicate interference Numer-
GUS troublesome machines have al
ready been supplied with filters.

Urged To Support
New Game Law

The sportsmen of the state are
greatly interested in a new bill that
they plan to have the voters pass on
at this falls election. Petition blanks
are now being circulated and every
one is urged to sign the petition SO
that the proposed bill may 60 on
the ballot this fall.
The bill provides for a new set
UP in the selection of the members
of the state fish and game commits
sion and is most commendable
measure said Earl Switzer, presi
dent of the Libby Rod and Gun club.
IF the bill becomes law, it will
take the fish and game commission
out of politics, something that is
greatly to be desired. The bill stip-
ulates that the state shall be divided
into five districts and one member
Of the fish and game commission
shall be elected from each district.
The election Of the one member
from each district is to be by the
members of the rod and gun clubs
IN each respective district. In the
appointment of the state game war
den, the rod and gun clubs name
three candidates and the governor
must select one of these three can
dldates for state game warden. Ev-
cry county in the state except Silver
Bow is strongly in favor of the pro-
posed measure and I hope local
people will get behind the measure

To V0te0n
Bonds for New
GrddeBuidinQ
Will Come Before Voters of
Libby School District
This Fall.
PROPOSE TO BUILD
SIX ROOM STRUCTURE

Faced with the task of providing
quarters for the increasing attend
ance in the schools, the board of
trustees of the Libby schools are
now considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
submitting bond issue to the cleo
tors for the construction of unit
for grade purposes. The indefinite
results of the election last spring,
called to vote upon an expansion of
the high school building for both
grade and high school uses, con-
vinced the trustees that such a
move does not meet with sufficient
encouragement to make another at
tempt to complete the west wing, the
trustees, however, are continually
urged to make more adequate pro-
vision for the highly congested con-
ditions now existing in the main
building. and regular quarters for
the two fourth grades housed in the
old court house.
Following the advice of Harold
Whitehouse of the Spokane firm of
architects, preliminary plans are
now being drawn up for SIX class
room unit combined with suitable
convertible auditorium and play
room. Mr.. Whitehouse was asked
to survey the local schools and to
suggest the best means for remedy
ing the situation. His findings in
Guided the erection of a ten room
building and the removal of all
grade pupils from the high school
building. The trustees have modi-
fled this plan to the erection of six
room building with combined audi
forum and playroom. Such build
ing would accommodate the two
fourth grades now in the court
house, the fifth and the two sixths
in the present high school annex
with one room for future expansion
The latter would, no doubt, be used
by an opportunity room from Cen
trail. This would vacate three class
rooms in the high school building
and would relieve some of the pres
sure there but would leave the sew
enth and eighth grades numbering
about so pupils each still in the
annex.
With the assistance of the federal
government, the proposed building
would cost the district about
$500 To issue bonds to this
amount requires, of course, the sane,
ton Of 40 per cent of the registered
electors who are on the 1878
tax rolls. Before such an election
can be called, petition of 20 per
cent of these voters must be signed
calling for the election. Petitions
are now being circulated, the sign
ing of which simply calls for an
election.
The trustees are very DESTROYS of
receiving a definite expression of
public opinion on the building pro-
gram. They hope that the present
project will be heartily supported
or decisively turned down and they
urge qualified electors to get out
and vote their opinion whether it is
for or against the measure. Such
an action would help the trustees
determine their future course in re-
gard to school housing facilities
The election will be called as soon
as the required number of names
are secured on the petitions.
