planting 100000 sockeye salmon in
the Kootenai river. The last load
of $4,000 was planted just above the

litical capital" The short distance
from such Capitalization of social
welfare to totalitarianism was en-
phasized by Brown, who warned
that there was "a tendency in our
own government toward centraliz-
alton of power in the hands of a
few pleading for the adoption of
a policy of administration of relief
removed as far as possible from
centralized power, and placed as far
as possible in the hands of local
persons" Brown cited that the gov
eminent adopted the system of rails
ing the draft army through local
channels in the World war, and
urged that there is mo reason why
the care of relief should not 20

The danger to a free people of
allowing card index systems to
grow up, which would tag man
wherever he went, was pointed out
by the counsel.
Brown also cited the advance
ments in state laws which had been
brought about through the COM
missioners association: Standardized
bridges; better highways; uniform.
ity of county standards; tendency
toward uniformity of taxes. Ir

Taboo On
Fireworks In
Local Forests
Officials Decide to Clamp
Down Because Conditions
Are So Bad.
DANGER IN HEAVY
GROWTH VEGETATION

MISSOULA, June 25.-Due to in
creasing fire danger and an antici-
pated large number of forest visi-
tors, it is necessary to close all ma
tional forests in Region One to the
discharge Of any kind OF fireworks,
Regional Forester Evan w. Kelley
announced.
This closure" Kelley stated, is
Immediately effective. The forest
service desires to do everything pos
sible to increase pubic enjoyment
of national forests and keep regula-
tions to a minimum consistent with
protecting the public interest. But
this closure is necessary because
of an unusual growth of grass and
other vegetation which is becoming
dry and inflammable, thereby in
creasing the fire danger. Even at
ter rain, dry vegetation will now
burn readily with an hour or two OF
drying sun and wind.
Recreation visitors have nearly
doubled within the past five years,
which adds to the fire risk, while
funds are not sufficient to put on
an adequate number of fireguardS.
The recent outbreak of nearly 100
lightning fires in 24-hour period
is an indicator Of how rapidly the
forests are drying and what the
fire prevention load may be. In
fact, the season so far is compare
BILE to 1881, "a, and SO, which were
critical years. So l hope the pub
lie will cooperate by not taking fire
works into the forests"
The regulation closing the ma
tional forests to fireworks applies to
the Northern Rocky Mountain Re-
gion extending from northwestern
South Dakota through Montana and
northern Idaho to northeastern
Washington. The Forest Service il
authorized by the Secretary OF
Agriculture to enforce such closures
when necessary As = protection To-

Additional news coming out this

Porthill, Ida, and will move it onto
their Libby property, the old Sill

into the Porthill property to dis

Roads in that district have not

work as yet. 1t is said this mill is a

from Granite creek. The mine is
located on Granite creek a short
distance above the Glacier mine,
south of Libby. The Silver Crown is
a gold. silver, lead property.
Another development scheduled
for the immediate future is building
of mill for the Way Up Mine. That
property is in the Fisher River
district, and lies above the Golden
West mine. The Way Up mine was
taken over some time ago by Messrs.
Harpo and Most of Deer Lodge and

ports are to the effect that they plan
the construction of a mill as soon
as the work can be got under way.
