@. N. Does Fine
Business Here

According to authentic figures
recently received in this office bus
mess has been very good in the
past two years SO far as the Great
Northern transportation facilities
through Libby are concerned.
Official figures show the approx
mate outbound cars of lumber alone
in 1887 to be 2,013. In 1898 there
was decrease with only 1,547 cars
going out. However, this year au-
thorlties expect this number to rise
and perhaps exceed the 1887 total.
Cars inbound for the J. Neils
Lumber Co. in 1887 amounted to
5,l20 and 1888 1850. These ship
ments consist of logs, part cars of
lumber and miscellaneous items.
The reveiue reaped from the in
dustries and merchants of the CITY
of Libby by the Great Northern
Railway in 1897 was Sl.450, 10000
while 1888 Melted them some
$3.50, 10000
With the j Neils Lumber Co.
doing a regular shipping business
of several thousands of dollars per
year and the steadily increasing out
put OF the Universal Zonolite In
sulation Co, business is bound to
maintain a pretty even par from
Libby so far as this transportation
facility is concerned.

Unextinguished Hunting
Fires Are Dangerous

MISSOULA. - Careless hunters
are responsible for many serious
forest fires during the fall months
according to Axell Lindh, chief of
forest fire control in Region One
of the United States forest service
with headquarters at Missoula.
The week of October 8-14 has
been designated as National Fire
Prevention Week by the National
Board of Fire Underwriters, and
will be dedicated to the prevention
of fires in both city and forest, !"
says Mr. Lindh. 1T seems, there
fore, a very fitting time to stress
the fact that each year the national
forests suffer severe losses through
careless hunters smoking, building
unsafe campfires and warm up fires
in the woods.
I'VE should stress the need for
putting out completely all fires in
the forest regardless Of existing
weather. Conditions change quick
ly, and dry windy day may cause
some smouldering ember to spring
into life and spread to the forest.
Hunters are naturally interested
in keeping the forest and its wild
life from burning up. The great
majority are undoubtedly careful
with their fires. The small mi
nority probably would be if they
fully realized the hazard"
