Go 70 Conceive

About "a De Molays of Libby are
planning to attend the conclave to

clave.
The De Molays have been very

vided This can be moved forward
or backward for different distances.
Stakes will indicate the varying
ranges. A rifle rest for erect shoot
ing is also provided for those who
wish to use it. A rifle rack and
bulletin board has been built. The
board carries a great deal of in

boys, which will take care of from
80 to 40 cars.
The range is just below or north

Explains Some
Causes Of Concer

Chemicals in coal tar have been
found to produce cancer. In the
laboratory of the National Cancer
Institute research scientists are max
ing use Of these pure synthetic
chemicals to produce a great vari-
ETY. of cancers in animals. This is
extremely important to us for some
people work in industries, such as
gas factories, where they are ex-
posed to the effects of coal tar.
The aniline dye industry uses GER
tain chemicals suspected of causing
cancer. Some organic dyes, it has
been learned, will cause cancer OF
the liver.
The Hindus, who eat nothing but
well cooked food, present but few
cases Of intestinal cancer. They
exhibit high percentage OF skin
type because they are less Clearly
Japanese, on the other hand, who
keep the outer covering well scrub
bed, have little skin cancer. They
consume great quantities Of raw
or lightly cooked vegetable mate
rial and suffer q higher incidence
Of stomach cancer.

The owners of the land, the Ana
conda Copper Mining company, de-
cided some time ago that they want
ed some revenue from their holdings
and plan to lease the land for graz
ing purposes. This particular dis
trict is fine for game and the Libby

Old Magazine
Tells Quoint Story

Several issues of the Saturday
Evening Put bearing d4te lines OF
1911 were found in the attic of DR..
Martins residence this week when
work was being done on new air
conditioning unit which is being in
stalled.
The magazines were of unusual
interest for they were left there by
Ben Maiden, former Libby lawyer
and owner of the house
The advertisements tell quaint
story to the average person, for they
give a graphic picture of the great
improvement in merchandise and
merchandising that this country has
gone through since that time. Au-
tomobiles are advertised for the
surprisingly high figure of $4,000
for an open car. Today a fine
closed car costs about half that
much and is built of better material
and of greater value in every way.
Superior" the perfect union
suit, is advertised with gentlemen
showing their fair forms clothed
in "The one underwear which leaves
out trouble The Imperial self
heating flat iron is said to Save
your wife from the drudgery of the
ironing day"
Testimonial advertising was hav-
ing its heyday for Judge Ben Lind
sey, father of Denver's juvenile
courts, makes the comment, Il have
used your Auto Strop Safety Razor,
and cannot say enough for ii"
The style of the magazine SO far
as makeup and type of material is
much the same as the present day

Incident in Enforcement

REMEMBERS TAKING OF
CENSUS 40 YEARS AGO

The letter printed below was re-
ceived by Deputy Game Ward4aa
Darlington and recalls sosne inch
dents regarding the taking Of the
census 40 years ago. The letter was
written by Len Lownds, who was
one Of the first game wardens d
Flathead county, when Flathead
county covered all of this part OF
the state. Mr.. Lownds' letter will
recall early-day affairs to many Of
the. old-time residents. He writes
to Mr.. Darlington from Newbcrg,
Ore, as follows:
Newberg, Ore, April |, l940-
i Poi aasy and thk census are hold
ing the center-6f the stage these
days and am wondering if you re-
member the census of 1900 and the
circumstances Of our enumeration.
You will remember, anyway, our
stay in the Rossland and Kettle
River gold camps and our return to
Montana by pack outfit. Perhaps,
when you cross the Yak bridge
now, at fifty per, you will recall
how we forded the river at flood
stage and made camp to dry out,
and you may still hear the thunder
of the storm and the crash of the
tree as it fell across the guy
rope of the tent II was ever any
Wetter, i don't remember it.
The next day we camped at
O'Brien Creek Cat Waters place)
if Pm not mistaken. Our next stop
was, think, at the mouth OF Pipe
Creek. I'm not sure Of this but I
am sure Of the details of that days
travel over the high trail above Koo-
tenai Falls and the big tree fallen
across the trail, which was too mar
row to permit turning the horses,
SO the log had to be cut and il
there ever was q duller are on the
face of this earth, / haven't heard
pf it, but we made It through.
The next. dny-I think IT w.
about July I've crossed the terry
into Libby and whilst taking in the
sights, we were accoSted by q col
ored gentleman Tin after years I
learned his name was Postum or
Posten), who said that he was the
census enumerator and il it was
alright with us, he would like to
give the towns population a small
boost So, 40 years ago, we were
listed as citizens of Libby.
/ expect there are but very few
living in the town today who were
on that list. For few years, whilst
with the game department, | was
in and out of the town, but think
few will remember me personally;
but, no doubt, many could connect
me with the saying of the late Judge
Hoffman when he awakened me, at
midnight, to announce the loss Of
some venison, which / had left with
him for safe keeping: Mr. Lownds,
the evidence is stolen"
Well, Billy, you seem to be a
permanent fixture in Libby and
once again the census taker will
find you in the old town and not
only yourself, but many members OF
your family as we'll
/ Perhaps the thought OF that CEN
sus of 40 years ago has been in
your mind as we'll as mine How
about it?

To Aid War
Sufferers in Norwoy

WASHINGTON, D. c., April 49,
Chairman Norman H. Davis today
instructed 3,700 Red Cross chapters
in the United States to accept vol
untary contributions designated for
the relief of war sufferers in Nor
way. Chairman Davis said the
American Red Cross is awaiting
word from the Norwegian Red Cross
as to its needs.
I'VE are confident" Mr.. Davis
said. that the American people will
want to help the unfortunate Nor
wegian people in this sad hour in
their history An unexpected war
has been thrust upon them and their
suffering Is all the greater because
of their unpreparedness. We have
cabled the Norwegian Red Cross
asking what help. it might require
and we expect an answer shortly"
Mr.. Davis said the Red Cross was
studying how aid could be furnished
to Norway in view OF the blockade
and other war conditions. TT is
highly possible" he said, that the
Red Cross will have to charter one
OF more SHIPS 10 carry relief sup
plies to Norway and Finland. Fly
ing under the Red Cross flag they
would certainly be allowed to pass
unchallenged through the war
zones"
In his communication to the chap,
tiers Mr.. Davis said the Red Cross
is prepared to handle inquiries from
w. ry~t<, ~ -
tives in Norway.
In addition to considering relief
for Norway the Red Cross, Mr.. Davis
added, is preparing for the possible
ity that it may have to send relief
ships to Greenland as suggested by
President Roosevelt. Such aid may
become necessary, he said, If nor
NAL communications with Green
land become disrupted because of
the war.

up. The old building has become
inadequate, and it has been decided
to replace it with a new modern
structure which will take care of SIS

For the past Is years, several
thousands of crippled children have
been receiving skillful correction OF
their handicaps no matter what the

The Western Montana Council of
the Boy Scouts, of which council
Lincoln County is part, deter
mines the Council budget for the
entire year. The total amount need
ed is then apportioned among the
several counties, according to pop
ulation. In the 1910 drive, the Coun-
Gil has assessed Lincoln County with
$4,000, OF which Libby will pro-
vide $4,000. To this sum are added
the estimated local expenses of
5000. Each city or town in the
district conducts its drive in man
ner similar to that in which it is
conducted in Libby.
A large part OF the Council bud
get goes to maintain the large sum-
mer Boy Scout camps, among which
are the Seeley Lake Camp, Camp
Paxon out of Missoula, and the an
nual Boy Scout circus at Missoula.
At such camps, each boy receives
specialized training and an oppor-
tunity to apply the things Scouting

and submitted their requests. They
found the commission sympathetic
with their idea and number OF
questions were asked as to the adj
vantages of not having sheep in that
section. No action was taken while
the delegation was there.

sons were taken into consideration
by the commission.
He also said the commission was
considering the buying of land in
the Yak country for a game area.
This proposition was brought for
ward by Mr.. Boyes several years
ago.
The continued improvement of the
local hatchery and ponds is one of
the aims of the commission. 1t will
be developed from time to time un-
til it is one of the top hatcheries of
the state.
Chairman Price voiced the COM
missions appreciation to sportsmen
in this locality for the cooperation
received in the past few years. He
said, THE sportsmen of Lincoln
county have always been fair and
helpful toward the commission and
we should like them to know it is
