Frank y. Slick Passes.

EUREKA.-The death of Frank
Slick on Tuesday, May 2, came as a
shock to all who were not intimate
ly acquainted with Mr.. Slick for
he had the courage to keep up until
the last. MFR. and Mrs. Slick came
to the Pinkham district in 1906 and
homesteaded there, being among the
first people into that area. In 1886,
due to the failing health of Mr..
Slick, they moved into town.
Since coming to this country Mr..
Slick has won the respect and adj
miration of all with whom he has
had business or friendly contact.
For all the years since the forma-
ton of Pinkham school, until COM
ing to town, he was most valued
member of the board. Mr.. Slick
leaves his widow; a daughter, Mrs.
leila Silverman of Lewiston, Ida,
and three grandchildren; also four
brothers, Daniel in Wisconsin; New
ton in Michigan; Clinton in Idaho
and Russell in Michigan. Funeral
arrangements are pending hearing
from relatives.

the best in the state.

Il wish to express the appreciation
of the entire school for the inter
est and support shown by the cit

Welfare Bourd Asks
Counties To Pay Up

HELENA-A resolution adopted
by the state board of public welfare
at its last meeting in Helena urges
counties to resort to all lawful
means to pay the state their delin-
quent shares of the cost of relief
programs so the board will have
enough money to carry on its work
this month and in June. The res
olution, sent to all counties, points
out that the welfare law itself pre-
vents counties from receiving aid
from the estate department If all le-
gal means of raising relief money
within the counties have not been
exhausted
The board has more than $3.50, 900
coming from counties as their share
of the money spent for old -age as
sistance, aid to dependent children
and aid to needy blind. The state
makes the payments and gets one
half back from the federal govern
ment and is supposed to receive part
back from the counties.
Under terms of a measure passed
by the last legislature, counties can
issue funding bonds and can levy
special taxes to take care of float
ing indebtedness. Through either
System counties can obtain money
to match state relief funds, the
board said.

by the county commissioners in

on the Libby-Jennings road. The
state highway commission had
agreed to provide a survey for the
project. They write they will do
SO when they are definitely assured
the WPA will 60 through with its
part of the agreement While the
WPA has expressed favorable
opinion in respect to the road prof.
ect, it seems they are now taking
the position that they would prefer
to see such WPA projects as the
Libby swimming pool and improve
ments at the state fish hatchery
further along before starting a new
project. There are also a few de-
tails as to board Of men, etc, to
which the WPA is objecting. How
ever, it is not definitely refusing
to okeh the road project
The county commissioners are
working on the affair and expect
eventually to have the project I'M

Worlond Bridge
\ Work Delayed

The county commissioners of Lin
coin county are carefully studying
the cooperative agreement present
ed to the board by the forest serv-
ice covering building of the Koote-
mai river bridge at Warland. Upon
the advise of County Attorney Long,
they are refusing to sign the present
draft of the cooperative agreement.
The commissioners are taking this
position because of certain points
in which the cooperative agreement
differs from the stipulations as set
forth in the call for the bond cleo
ton, by which the taxpayers au-
thorized the county to issue $4,000
worth of bonds as the county's share
of the cost of the bridge The bridge
was estimated to cost $4,000. The
cooperative agreement places the
cost at $4,000 There is a differ
ence also as to the ownership of
the bridge after construction.
The commissioners hope to have
these differences ironed out SO as
not to delay building of the bridge.

LOOKING TO THE
FUTURE OF LIBBY

c. K. Spaulding, assistant super
visor of Kootenai forest, recently
stationed in the Clearwater forest
tells of the present condition of the
once prosperous towns in northern
Idaho.
1T is not a pleasant picture. new.
ertheless it is the result of saWmills
using all of the timber resources
in the vicinity and then folding
up Mr.. Spaulding said.
THE Carabel mill, east of Ka-
miah, Idaho, was once flourishing
business concern employing almost
as many men as the present Libby
mill. Included in their equipment
was a logging railroad to the woods
with flume to carry the lumber
to the shipping point It was very
modern and efficient set-up at the
time it was built but unfortunately
they ran out of timber
To-day all that remains of this
once fine concern is part of the mill
structure and some of the railroad
equipment. Not a single man de-
rives any income from the opera
ton and not one family is left in
the once prosperous mill town. Ev-
cry last employee has been forced
to move away in order to obtain a
livelihood"
Mr.. Spaulding continued. "Anoth-
er instance of the same unfortunate
happening is that of the modern
mill in the booming city of Elk
River. This mill was the first in
Idaho to boast of electric operation
The frame work of the buildings
was of steel and of very substantial
construction. It was built before
the war and was meant to be a
permanent operation. The town
residents, 1000 strong, believed that
the mill could run forever with the
stumpage in sight.
In 1880 the mill operators an
nounced that the plant would be
suspended permanently due to lack
of stumpage Since that time the
machinery of the mill has been
salvaged Today approximately loo
people still reside in Elk River but
the men are forced to seek work in
other localities; they cannot take
their families with them due to
lack of money. Homes which were
worth $4,000 in 1880 were sold in
1896 for $3.50. The purchasers cut
them up and moved them to other
localities.
4 know of one resident Mr..
Spaulding said, "a former sawyer,
who still owns his home in Elk
River, that bought the house next
to his for $500. Now he uses the
former fine house, which was worth
about $4,000. as a barn for his COW.
He built manger in the kitchen
and uses some of the other rooms
for storage of hay for the cow"
Most certainly the residents of
Libby do not want similar hap
penings to occur here. 1t is to
every persons personal interest to
see that Libby at least remains the
fine city it is and perhaps help to
improve conditions here.
The answer to this problem is
Sustained Yield!

EUREKA BEST IN GRADE
SCHOLASTIC EVENTS
(Reported for the Tamarack)

Last Saturday the Libby Terriers
won their first track and field meet
since 1885 Lincoln County High
School of Eureka placed second and
Troy was third. Libby amassed
total of 54hs, Eureka made 46h.
and Troys total was 1913.
Although the wind hampered the
distance runners in the back stretch.
the meet was quite fast. Three rec
ords were broken in the events that
were shorter, or the weight made
lighter. Eugene Fleming. brilliant
l.. {. II. S. sophomore broke both
hurdle records while teammate.
Wayne Richmond. tossed the discus
for new record All events were
faster this year than last. with the
exception of the mile run and the
relay
The Libby team was the best bal
anced outfit Libby has had in years,
scoring IN every event except the
discus in which the boys were far
below their usual form. This we'll
balanced team is due to the fine
cooperation between Coach Bill
Erickson and the boys. A fine
squad like this was not built in one
year, but has been building up for
several years Four seniors will be
lost from this championship squad.
Karl Klehm, high scorer for Libby,
Wayne Johnson, double winner, and
Bob Nolop, winner of mile and
point scorer in the $50. Clarence
johnson, although he didn't make
any points in the track meet, helped
the meet out by furnishing compe-
ton In the Javelin and mile
The commercial department was
not quite so lucky as the athletic
department. Although they didn't
bring home the proverbial bacon,
they proved their mettle, and they
hope that next year it will be their
turn to win.
