OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

cldent occurred which reminded this
party of the old Brindley- Moose
Richard affair which took place
about year ago
At any rate this fellow was busy
doing bit of fishing when all of
sudden COW moose and her calf
doomed into view few yards
ahead unlike Brindlev and
Richard We didn't stop to dispute
the right-of-way with the critter
but peacefully forded the stream
and snuk off through the tall grass.
Before We go back to Yellowstone
next time there will be few les
sons received from Al and Tom
about How to Shoot the Moose
or Moose Tails and How to Swing
En-.
Recently dance for the young
folks of Libby was sponsored by
the PIT A. and staged at the Lee
gion hall An admission charge
/ of ten cents was made and approx
mately SO boys and girls turned out
and seemed to have an excellent
/ time
We wonder if this sort of thing
shouldn't be continued
The PIT. A., a very capable or
ganization, is willing to back the
idea They do need support
from other organizations and indi-
viduals -. If you have any ideas
on the matter, PIT. A. President
Mrs. Harold Thomson would be very
glad to receive them and make the
most of your suggestions, so don't
hesitate to speak your opinion on
the matter, .
Last Sunday on the east side of
the Butte hill this party happened
along just few minutes after a
bolt of lightning had struck and
Killed q tlagman on the highway
-. The sight was not a pleasant
one for the man was badly scared
and burned the day before
lightning struck the same spot,
stockpass on Z. S. highway No. 10
this sort Of blows up the old
theory that lightning never strikes
in the same place twice
-.
Another sight which we encount-
cred was that of passing SIS units
of army equipment on the high
way There were trucks, filled
with supplies and men, and officers
cars 81. Shortly after passing that
unit freight train passed and on
it were approximately ten flat cars,
each carrying load of three
tanks
This sight was grim reminder of
what might become a common thing
if the United States enters the pres
ent war 1t was all very inter-
estlng but not very pleasant if one
stops to think what those machines
were built for
We believe the members Of the
Kootenai Forest are in line for I'M
limited congratulations from our cit
liens for the very efficient man
ner in which they have taken care
Of the many fires in this region in
the past few weeks . i Everyone
realizes the fact that if it had not
been for the fine organization of
this branch of our government that
Libby might not be the thriving
little city it is at the present time
but might have been merely a
burned over area
Some evening when you are just
driving around why not drive down
Lincoln boulevard, by the depot
park and the various other parks
in the city . Every one Of them
looks beautiful now 80. They have
had extremely good care in the past
few weeks and certainly show it :.
The credit for this goes to none
other than L. S. Dalton 3.
Mr.. Dalton has even gone to the
trouble to spade up the portion Of
ground outside the curling along
Lincoln :. This was a tremendous
task and certainly looks as if the
blade might have been employed
on this part of the job -.
AT any rate we are willing to bet
the parks have reached an all time
high in beauty
