Will P| dnt
Salmon In
The Kootendii
$4,000 Eggs of Sockeye
Species Coming To Libby
Hatchery.
TO BE PKANfED BELOW
, FALLS NEXT SUMMER

Recently NJ. K. Kedzie suggested
to Ed Boyes, chairman of the fish
and game committee of the Libby
Commercial Club, the possibilities OF
planting Sockeye salmon in the Koo-
tenai river.
Believing the idea to be a good
one Mr.. Boyes contacted John w.
Schofield, superintendent of state
fisheries, and received the following
answer, Il believe that the planting
of Sockeye salmon in the Kootenai
river has great deal of merit, and
| am of the opinion that it is worth
giving a trial"
Although Mr.. Schofield is in ia
vor of the scheme he states further
IN his communication that it may
not be possible to stock this project
this season. He makes this state
men in view of the fact that the
spawn taking operation of this spe-
cies is practically completed.
In event this arrangement can
be made, Mr.. .Boyes said, 1T will
mean much to sportsmen of this vi
cinity and tourists who come by this
route. In the Flathead area sports
men find great pleasure in trying to
catch this species of fish. The Koo-
tenai is a natural SO far as being
the proper place for such planting
The salmon will run out of Koote-
mai lake up the Kootenai river and
will ascend many of the small
creeks running into the river for
spawning. OF course, they will not
be able to get over the falls in the
river"

Liquor Permits Must
Be Approved Locally

Retail bar operators throughout
the state have been reminded by
the liquor control board to have
their applications for new licenses
approved by city councils or boards
of county commissioners before
sending them to the boards offices
at Helena, according to Administra-
tor L. NJ. A. Wass.
Wass pointed out that the last
legislature changed the retail bar
law so operators would have to get
permission from local authorities
before the state board could issue
new licenses. Wass also pointed
out to operators that they should
get in their applications as soon as
possible.

The city will decorate what is
called the city Christmas tree next
week, said Mayor Clay Parker yes
terday. There is a most lovely ma
tural tree growing on the lawn at
the city hall and it has been deco
rated for the past two or three
years. The same excellent practice
will be continued this season. The
tree has grown considerably in the
past few years and it will be neces-
sary to purchase more lights this
year, said the mayor. The lighting
of this tree will be probably the
first act in the general decorating

When Is a Knockout?
IF A boxer fails to answer the bell

IF A boxer fails to answer the bell,
in which round was he knocked
out?
That highly technical problem was
answered recently by the National
Boxing association, members of
which turned it over to special
committee. They decided this way:
II boxer fails to answer the bell
for the new round, then the referee
must rule he was K. O'ed in the
new round, but the bell must be
rung.
Which means that II the fighter
finishes, for instance, the fourth
round, but is unable to enter the
ring for the fifth, the referee notes
the ringing of the bell and declares
the knockout came in the fifth.
The committee raised two cues.
lions. First, suppose the fighter
leaves his corner and goes to the
dressing room before the bell for
the next round? Second, suppose a
fighter is cut and a physician adj
vises him not to proceed further
with the match?
The N. B. A. decided the rule
holds good in both these situations.

position-top man in a field of Sec
ond rate pugs.
That is no reflection on Louis.
He's willing, even anxious, to meet
all contenders worthy of a crack
at the crown. The fact that most
of his fights have been too easy is
his own misfortune. They're too
forced-high powered publicity has
put them over. None of them have
been "naturals." The outcome was
pretty well established long before
the sound of the opening gong.
Crist for the Mill
Louis won the championship in
1887 from Jimmy BraddOck, even
then has been. Courageous and
smart, but still a has been. His
next fight was with Tommy Farr,
who crossed up the dopesters by
staying the Is round route. Nathan
Mann and Harry Thomas followed
in quick succession. Shirley Tenn
pie might better have been matched
with King Kong. Max Schmeling,
seeking to repeat his stunning up
set Of 1886, wherein he knocked
Louis out in the twelfth round, was
next on the list. The champ put
the finishing touches on him in the
first round Of their return bout.
John Henry Lewis failed to last
one round. Partially blind, he was
not a fit match for Joe. Then came
Jack Roper, an aged gentleman who
practically tottered into the ring,
only to be knocked out in the first.
Tony Galento, Louis next opponent,
managed to last four rounds.
Pastor, by dint of courage and
determination, stayed with the king
for II rounds. The outcome was
never in doubt, however, from the
beginning of the fight.
All of which adds up to the fact
that Galent0 is the only possible op-
ponent for the next championship
bout. The buildup will have to
be immense. Able to last only four
rounds in the first fight, GaIento
managed to reach Louis only once.
On the strength of his showing, Tony
is clam0ring for return bout.
Nova Myth Exploded
True, it might as well be Galento
as any other contender. He sur
prised experts and fight fans alike
by knocking out Lou Nova, who was
looked upon as the most promising
of the hopefuls-another Tunney.
The rotund beer dispenser exploded
that myth and, at least in his own
mind, earned another chance at
the title.
That's the sad part of the situa-
ton today. One contender is not
much different than any other.
They're all fodder for the Louis mill.
and none Of them show promise Of
being able to give the champ a good
fight, much less win the crown.
There have been rumors of Louis
retirement for some time. Most of
them have little basis. It is entirely
possible, however, that he win quit
the ring sooner than might be an
ticipated ordinarily.
