TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN.

In The Forum last week there
was d letter signed by Fl. f. Brink.
The article purports to state the law
governing the board of county COM
mlssloners IN acting upon road
claims incurred against Lincoln
county The statement of the law
as made in that article is mislead-
ing and incorrect. as is also its at
tempted application
presume the article is an attempt
to answer the 81 page pamphlet
which | prepared after thorough
examination of the action of the
boards of county commissioners up
on road claims at every session of
the board beginning in July, 1929.
Among other things | stated in
my pamphlet that the board of
county commissioners of which Mr..
Brink was chairman incurred road
expendstu lures Oh liabilities in 1881
that exceeded the 1881 road budget
appropriation by S6,24363. that the
books in the county clerks office
showed an apparent balance of
S282.23 to the credit of the 1881
road budget, that this alleged bal
ance is false balance, that it is
false because claims incurred under
the 1881 budget amounting to $l0,-
549.76 were carried over into the
1882 budget and paid, not with mon
ey appropriated for 1881, but with
the money appropriated for road
expenses to be incurred under the
1892 budget that the difference

But it's something think, to wild goats drink

Inordnate, base desre
I seemed hear chordssometmes almost the words
Of mountain symphony,
When the mountains of night by my camp-fres light
Drew close comfort

But Spring is the way.
Soon the hills will be white with syringa there might
Be of strike day!
The mountains reckoning yonder

Clear sunlight, cool waters, pure air.
I'VE offer you fragrance Of pine trees,
Pine martens will come to your hand

You'll live like Prince of the Land
Though the gold that you seek deny you
You may live by the gold that you find
True trove health for the body

SHIPPED-IN MILK.

Many Libby milk consumers have
remarked that when the milk re-
ports are published, no reports are
given on the large amount of milk
shipped in from outside the county
for Libby consumption The Libby
dalrymen are tested, published and
publicly chastised on all occasions.
Why do not the outside dairy
men receive the same treatment
The consumers who are forced by
law TO feed their babies this
shlpped-in milk should be told lis
age, its bacteria count, the name
of the producer and whether or not
his cows are diseased Is there any
reason why the condition of this
shipped-in milk is being kept such
secret from the consumers?
Some people Justify themselves
IN buying illegal milk by saying
that they want fresh. local milk.
that they want to know where the
milk comes from that they feed .heir
babies. that they would like to be
able to go and look at the diaries
supplying it. Others land the Lib

the home daires that pay taxes and

It is claimed that the reason fer
this flood of outside milk Is because
the government camp prefers mix
from dairymen outside tire county
Then why not let the camp ship
IN its own milk and let the Libby
people buy fresh, home produced
milk from their own excellent
diaries?

Post as Executive Secretary
Looms for Miller After He
Leaves Helm of N: B. A.

of his active career in the service
of the association and plagued by
the exacting duties of his dye busi-
ness and in need of much needed
rest wants to retire. He wants to
hand over the business of the ex-
ecutive secretary S Office to younger
man and it is significant that the
man he has chosen as his successor
is Heine Miller, secretary Of the
District Boxing Commission, chair
man of the N. B. A. ratings COM
mittee and slated to be its next
president. Heine is slated to assume
the secretarial post in 1910 after his
term as president expires.
Heine Earnest in Work.
In Miller, Foster sees the type OF
man who can steer the N. B. A. to
its avowed goal of governing boxing
in the United States. He sees IN
him the same loyalty, enthusiasm
and willingness to work that he.
Foster, brought to the N. B. A. IL
years ago. And he recognizes IN
Heine the pure-bred strain OF execu-
tive ability so important to the post,
as well as other necessary traits.
A reformed sports writer with a
delicate sense of news values and a
keen mind for publicity stunts,
Heine knows how to keep the N. B.
A. in the public spotlight. With a
career of fighting in the Navy be-
hind him he knows the tricks of the
game and can see the gladiators'
viewpoint. AS a promoter, he can
sympathize readily with the boys
who stage the shows and can help
them over rough spots. Lastly, as a
fan, a magazine editor and an off,
Ger in the Marine Reserves, he can
grasp the situation from the pub
lies viewpoint.
Under Miller's Craftsmanship the
N. B. AS rating committee has won
the respect, if not the cheers, OF the
sporting public, for the lists have
been compiled impartially and with
every honest effort to name the bet
ter men in proper order. This effort
paid rich dividends generally, par
ticularly in the case of dubious Tony
Galento and frail Billy Conn, and
the policy of naming the men it
thinks best in its mind will be con-
tinued by the committee.
Will Go After New York.
As president of the N. B. A. Heine
will have ample opportunity to dis
play his executive and co-ordinating
ability and the biggest nut he'll be
called upon to crack will be the New
York State Athletic Commission,
which has persistently remained be-
yond the pale of the association and
whose membership would assure its
complete and final success. A work.
ing agreement exists between the
two now, but to have New York as
member would be boon to the
N. B. A. and distinct achievement
for the man who accomplishes the
task. If anybody can persuade New
York to join Heine can, and he'll
make every effort to do so.
In relinquishing his post, when the
day comes, Foster can rest assured
that his duties will be entrusted to
capable hands and to a man whose
first love is boxing, whose soul is
wrapped up in 1t and who will han
die the presidency as it hasn't been
handled before.
