Submits Report on
Boy Scout Plans

An interesting letter was mailed
this week by Marshall Murray, fl
nance committeeman for the Boy
Scouts, giving considerable informa-
ton regarding Scout finances and
plans The letter was mailed to
contributors to the Boy Scout fund
and said, in part:
THE very efficient work of our
solicitors for the 1910 Scout Drive
resulted in a total of $388.95 in
cash and pledges. This was larg-
er sum than it was anticipated
would be received, but you may be
assured the money will be just as
carefully used as though we had
barely enough funds to carry us
through. AS goodwill measure,
the Scout Committee feels that you
would wish us to share the over
subscription with the Girl Scouts
and thereby save the people of Lib
by from another drive for their
purposes, and has accordingly
agreed to pay not to exceed $500
toward the 1910 Girl Scout Camp
expense.

in sending about rs Libby Scouts tt

Promise Arrests If
Practices Not Stopped

A condition has developed around
the Libby school houses that has
caused the school board to take
drastic action, according to Joe Ku-
lava. chairman of the board. For
some time CCC boys and other
young men OF the community have
been in the habit of gathering on
the grade school grounds of an ev-
ening, amusing themselves with the
play equipment and having a gen.
eral good time. Certain young girls
of the town have been meeting them
there. 1t turns out that some of the
boys at least, have abused the priv
ilege of gathering at the school
grounds. 1t appears that they hang
around until all hours of the night,
and have defaced the south en-
trance to the old grade school
building with the filthiest and most
depraved drawings and writings.
Some of such inscriptions have been
cut into the woodwork and it was
necessary for janitors to chisel them
out. THE drawings and inscrip-
tons were SO utterly and complete
| ly filthy and depraved that no one
could imagine anything worse said
Mr.. Kujawa Many evidences OF
other immortality were also found,
according to Mr.. KujaWa.
Because of the almost unbeliev-
able depravity evidenced, Mr.. Ku-
java took the matter up with po-
! lice authorities and with Captain
J. H. Hughes of the Gees. 1t has
been decided to maintain patrol
of the school grounds and anyone
found doing anything improper viii
be arrested and prosecuted to the
fullest extent of the law In this
decision the school board has the
fullest cooperation of city police au.
thorities, says Mr.. Kujawa Captain
Hughes has also promised to do ev-
erything he can to correct The
evil and for a time refused permits
sion of the boys to visit the city O.
an evening.

Mr.. Kujawa, that we do not hole

are as fine as one will find any
