Libby Mill
Bids In Star
Greek Timber
Means Spending of $694,OOO
Locally in Logging and
Manufacture of Lumber.
$4,000 MAN DAYS
OF LABOR ANNUALLY

On July 20, the regional forester
at Missoula advised that the j. Neils
Lumber company was the success
full bidder for the timber offered
for sale in the Star Creek drainage
of the Kootenai national forest. The
estimated volume to be cut amounts
to ,25 million board feet, composed
of 10 per cent pine, other species be-
ing larch, Douglas fir and hemlock-
white fir. In addition to the saw
logs, $4,000 cedar poles are included
in the sale.
Logging operations will involve an
estimated expenditure of 100000
for labor and supplies. 1t is esti-
mated that the manufacturing of the
logs into lumber will require an ex-
penditure of $350,000 for labor and
supplies. About $4,000 will be
spent for stand Improvements and
slash disposal work. The foregoing
expenditures will mean about 49,
900 man days of labor for residents
of this locality.
Logging operations will be COM
pleted on Star creek within the next
two years. Prior to completion of
logging operations other areas of
national forest timber will be Of

sources of the Kootenai national
forest will be cut on a sustained
yield basis, the allowable annual
cut of the forest being 1914 million
board feet of pine. Other species to
be cut at the same time as the pine
will result in an estimated annual
cut of all species amounting to rs
million board feet, resulting in APP
proximately $4,000 man days of la
Dor annually.

Arguing City Case In
State Supreme Court

Marshall Murray of this city and
Hans Walchli of Kalispell have been
employed by the City of Libby to
argue case in the state supreme
court, which is being heard today.
The case is one brought against the
city by B. J. McIntire following re-
fusal of the city to grant him
liquor license, for the sale of beer
in the Blanche Avery building. The
city refused for various reasons,
one of which was that no more beer
licenses should be granted in the
city.
1t is said that McIntire holds
state beer and liquor license issued
for The Mint, at St. Regis. He is
attempting to transfer that license
to Libby, where he proposes to
call his establishment the Mayfair.
His attorneys contend that the Ii
cense can be legally transferred to
Libby, and further, that the city
has no power to refuse him license
here. McIntire has carried the dis
pute direct to the supreme court,
where it will be argued today.

Bad Electric Storm
Causes 48 Fires

One of the severest electrical
storms to pass over this region for
quite some time treated the inhabi-
tants Friday night to display of
lightning and a bombardment that
recalled to memory similar storms
in the midle west of years ago
Black clouds, forerunners of the
storm, climbed up over the noun
tains to the west about 8 o'clock
Friday evening. Reflections from
the flashing lightning could be seen
in these clouds from the storm that
was still too far behind the noun
tains to be witnessed directly. The
disturbance in the heavens came on
slowly and by midnight the center
of it was over Libby. Then there
was an almost incessant display OF
lightning with a few terrific jolts
from striking bolts The display,
accompanied by wind and rain, con-
tinued about a half hour and then
passed on eastward.
Forest service men report that "a
fires were caused in the timber as
result of the storm. All were
reached and extinguished before at
tanning any size. The largest were
three, that covered about five acres
One of these was in the Fisher river
above Jennings, one was on Quart
creek and one was above Sylvanitt
on Meadow creek.
Assistant Forest Supervisor Lille
Wig reports that all of the fires were
soon put out. The regular firt
fighting organization was augment
ed by number of CCC boys from
the Libby camp and by hiring Al
extra men. These were scattered
over the forest in small crews tt
take care of the numerous fires.
Reports from the Kaniksu forest
west of here in Idaho, were to tn,
effect that 1870 fires were started
there by the storm.
The worst fire developed in tn
Cabinet forest, over the range to
:. ward Thompson Falls. Late report
are that that fire is now under con
: troll after burning over 400 acre.
About 270 men were on it at on
| time. AS this was in rather dill
ficult region to reach from the otf
J er side, some supplies for the figh'
I ers were trucked in from Libby b
the local forest organization.

''~a.-.-a. On Mountain Top

Spending two days and two nights
in the top of Dome mountain was
the INTERESTING experience of James

the week end.
The two boys left Libby Satur-

and spent the night there. Sunday
they crossed over to Dome noun
tain and spent the day exploring
that region. They were right in
the snow and ice. The two young
mountainers enjoyed many expert
ences new to them. One of the
most interesting was the sight OF
some mountain goats and they were
able to get within 10 to IL feet OF
one of the animals. The boys also
took a number of very interesting
kodak pictures. They slept out in
the open both nights, rolled up in
their blankets. They made their
way back to town Monday, coming
down Parmenter creek.
The boys report that they got {
Hot of enjoyment out of the trip bui
doubt that the pet dog got much
pleasure from the experience. They
say he was SO nervous and excitec
that he got practically no sleep from
the time he left town until he go
back home. The young explorer
went unarmed and did not carr,
firearms of any kind.
