CONSUMPTION
Editor. The Times: Some Of
the proponents Of the conscrip-

reasons is that youth needs dis

We might answer this with
the fact that age and so-called

in all directions.

Forest Fire
Outlook Is
Favorable
Present Conditions Indicate
Hazard This Year May
Not Be Great.
STILL UNCERTAIN
ABOUT TWO MONTHS

MISSOULA, April 17.-Higher
forest fire danger in May, but less
in June throughout western Mon
tana and northern Idaho is indi-
Gated by snow conditions as re-
ported by the Soil Conservation
Service on April |, according to
H. T. Osborne of the Fire Re-
search division of the Northern
Rocky Mountain Forest and Range
Experiment Station.
''The snow survey data show that
snow depths on April | are gen.
orally less than during the past
few years, hence if normal weather
occurs throughout April and May,
the ground will become bare SOON
er than usual" says Mr. Osborne.
This will permit last years dead
vegetation and all dead branch
wood, logs, and Windfalls to dry
out before the ground and air tenn
peratures in the mountains rise high
enough to permit growth Of grasses,
weeds, and shrubs. During this Pc
Rod fire danger can, therefore, be
expected to be higher than usual.
AS this is the usual season for
burning brush and debris in ranch
land cleanup, special care must be
taken to prevent fires from escap-
ing from control if large and ex-
pensive fires are to be prevented :
THE snow survey and other
weather data show, however, that,
because more than an average
amount of moisture came in the
form of rain, the total precipitation
since October |, 1889, has not been
far from normal, being 90 per CERT
Of normal in central Montana, 9TH
per cent of normal for western
Montana, Ia per cent in northern
Idaho and 11llz per cent for east
ern Washington. Soil moistures are
reported as good, and the Soil Con
servation Service predicts, excel
lent conditions In the ranges IND
in the dry farming areas through
out the Columbia Basin this sea-
son.
This is quite definite assurance
of excellent vegetative growth In
late May and June which in turn
is one factor contributing toward
reduced fire danger by reason OF
the high moisture content OF new
plant growth. The Fire Research
Division Of the Experiment Station
therefore anticipates lower fire dan
ger in June than in early May be-
fore vegetative growth commences
Fire danger in July and August
the two peak months Of the fire
season, have not been found to be
greatly influenced by snow depths
or water contents of the previous
winter. The amount and distribu-
ton Of rain during these two month:
seems to be the major determi.

Operations to Begin on

ORE BLOCKED OUT;
ABUNDANCE OF POWER

A letter this week to the stock
holders Of the Glacier Silver Lead
Mining Company, with mine south
OF Libby, states that the mill will
be put into steady operation with
one shift to start with, on Monday,
April %. Sixteen men are employed
at the mine, and much ore has
been broken down and made avail
able for the mill.
AT this time there is sufficient
water to supply the hydro-electric
power plant to run the mine and
mill. The $40 hip. Diesel power
plant recently purchased and in
stalled at cost of nearly $4,000 is
ready for use when needed.
The directors of the company
have voted another assessment of
one-half cent per share. In giving
notice of the assessment, the direc-
tors say.
UNLESS unexpected difficulties
arise which cannot now be foreseen
and are not anticipated, no further
assessments should be required. 1t
is planned to use portion OF the
money from this assessment to es-
tablish surplus cash reserve on
the eve of starting the mill in OPP
Grafton and to meet additional pay
roll, material and equipment costs
until smelter returns are available.

Will Clear Lund
Here in June

After negotiations of several
weeks arrangements have been
made whereby julius brent Of Bon
ners Ferry will move his equip
ment here in June and take up the
clearing of $50 acres of land. That
acreage has been signed up at the
present time and probably an adj
ditional acreage will be cleared be-
fore brent, finishes his present con-
tracts.
brent uses large pulldozer in
the work. It is understood he has
cleared over 400 acres in the vi
cinity of Bonners Ferry. The use
of bulldozers in the clearing of
stump land has proven very sue
cessful and it can be done at a cost
figure that makes it practical.
This project has been sponsored
by the local Grange. The Grange
has also made arrangements where
by powder for clearing purposes
can be obtained at an attractive
figure. A large amount of powder
has been contracted for by the
Grange from a Seattle company
1t has been hauled by truck to Bon
ners Ferry and stored there, from
which point it is distributed
throughout this district. Farmers
in this section who have contracted
with brent to clear their land are
now engaged in blasting the largest
stumps, heaving and cracking them
with powder SO that the bulldozer
will be able to handle them more
readily.

Tells of Labor
Agreement in Local Mill

The following article was pub
lished in the April % issue of the
Flathead Labor Journal and should
be of interest to people of this
locality.
Following several months of nego-
tiations with union representatives,
the J. Neils Lumber Co. at Libby,
Mont, has signed working agree
ment with Lumber and Sawmill
Workers Local 1881 of Libby and
Loggers Local 1862 of Troy, accord
ing to general representative, G. A.
Paddock.
The agreement guarantees exclu-
sive bargaining rights to the union
for all employees eligible for union
membership and also establishes
seniority rights and GRIEVANCE
committee system. 1t further pro-
vides that all workers having sem
iority rights will be employed be-
fore new men are hired and in case
of temporary transfer to job call
ing for a higher rate of pay the
higher rate will be paid, whereas
transfer to lower paid job will
involve no reduction in pay.
Now that the matter of a work
ing agreement has successfully been
settled and the possibility Of a
strike, which threatened, is out of
the picture, it is reported that a
concerted drive for a larger mem
bership in both locals will be made.
Also plans for the +. S. w In
vention, which will be held in Lib
by in July, will soon get underway
in an effort to top the kalispell
and Lewiston, Ida, convention held
last July and January 1. S. w.

tations wherever they are held and
it is confidently expected that the

best Flathead locals are planning

Man
Home From
Norway Visit
Left Two Days Before
Invasion of German
Armies.
SAYS NAZTS ACTION
WHOLLY UNEXPECTED

Andrew Ramlo, well known IN
this vicinity, arrived in Libby Fri
day from % months visit in his
native Norway.
When interviewed concerning the
present trouble in that country Mr..
RamIo stated that he had left Nor
way just two days before the Ger
mans invaded the country He said
the people had no idea that any
such invasion was coming when he
left and business was running along
in the usual manner. No extraOr-
binary provisions had been made
for projection and citizens were
taken completely by surprise.
Mr.. Ramlo said he left Norway
April S and it took eight days to
make the journey across the water.
The boat left from Oslo and they
locked at Bergen for short while.
The journey across was unevent-
full with the exception of the fact
that the passengers had nc idea OF
where they were. When the ship
docked at New York they read in
newspapers that they had been
chased by a German boat but previ-
Gus to that time had no idea that
such an action was taking place.
Approximately $50 persons OF all
Municipalities were passengers on the
boat which is owned by Nor
wegian shipping firm, At the time
of the departure the boat was from
neutral nation and had huge Nor
Wegian flags painted on it.
According to Mr. Ramlo there
was no particular shortage Of food
/ in that country when he was there.
! Prices were normal on most things.
The only thing that caused bit OF
worry was the fact that the gov
eminent shut down on practically
all types of business for few days
at the beginning of the Finnish con-
flict. After they had made a check
on their resources things openet
again and business went ON tn.
same as before.
Mr. Ramlo agreed that it was very
nice to be in America although ht
said he did enjoy his visit very
much This is the third time he
has been back to Norway since com.
ing to Libby in 1919.
