were present to benefit by the pres
ence Of the young men.
In speaking of the egg law Mr.
st. John said, 1--WE have been very
lenient on the strict enforcement OF
this law for the reason that we de-
sire more people to be educated tc
the ways and means of handling
eggs"
He explained that all eggs sold
in retail must carry the state sea

Does Not Favor New
Depot at This Time

A letter to Marshall Murray of
Libby from l. +. Manion, superin-
t6ndent of the Kalspell division of
the Great Northern Railway Com
pany, indicates that the company is
not inclined to comply with i re-
quest BY the Libby Lions Club for
: new depot here. In renpenDe to i
letter OF inquiry from Mr.. Murray,
chairman of the Lions depot COM
mittee, Mr.. Manion wrote, under
date OF January Is, as follows:
This matter has been under dis
cussion both before and after my
visit to Libby on the 9th ult. At the
time OF my visit you will recall that
plan for improving the station
was submitted, which included
painting the depot inside and out,
change the lighting system, put in
different heating system, and re-
vamp the waiting rooms by putting
in better type settee and few chairs.
This proposition was declined by the
committee OF which you are chair
man, and your decision was trans
mitted to the General Offices OF
the Great Northern Railway Com
pany.
Because of the good physical
condition of the present Libby de-
pot, its cleanliness and adequacy for
handling the traffic at Libby, it has
been decided that a new depot al
Libby is not a thing OF necessity
and it is felt that the money should
not be expended at this time for
tho construction af "A rnuy cfoficp

I'VE endeavor to the best OF our
ability to give good service, both
passenger and freight, and to serve
the people of Libby the best we can
however, the revenues of the Rail

applied where most needed. / can
not give you any encouragement
with reference to new depot al
