Western News Will Issue Special
Edition Advertising RecreotionoI
Attractions Of Libby Troy District

For the first time in Il years the
Western News will publish special
edition The last, put out in 1920,
covered the whole county and was
dedicated to the boys who fought
in the first World War.
The 194l edition is different in
that it is made up in modernistic
newspaper style, printed on a book
stock with light green ink. The
former edition came out in a large
book form
One feature that has never before
been tried here is the scenting OF
the paper with pine oil, thus giving
the reader a breath of the pines OF
the Kootenai
The paper will be a supplement
of the Western News and will be
named The Kootenai. Copies will be
mailed out to the regular subscrib.
ersa along with the regular issue o.
the paper next week. One thousand
copies have been purchased by the
Libby Commercial Club for dis
tribution through Montanans, Inc.

Libby Wins Over
So9Ie ! to 0

Libby cleaned up on the Sagle,
Ida, team Sunday at the Libby
park behind the excellent pitching
of Cliff Brown by score of | to 0.
1t was close game throughout and
the tension for the local fans did
not ease off until the last man flied
out in the ninth inning
Brown was in rare form after a
couple of hard luck losses and re-
covery from a sore arm and allowed
only two scratch singles while fam
ming II and walking only one man.
He was never in any sort OF trou-
BILE and except for the third and
sixth innings, nothing more than a
loud foul was hit off his pitches.
Turnbull of Sagle was all this time
pitching his usual fine game but it
was Browns day and Libby could
not be denied
Going into the eighth inning, with
row Of goose eggs for each team
up to that point, Eddie Protiva was
hit by pitch and stole second while
Katarzy struck out; Durra, Libby's
heavy hitting center fielder, then
lined a single over the second base
mans head and Protiva scampered
home. Nothing more happened and
the teams went out in order after
that.
The small crowd attending the
game really received their moneys
worth and confirmed ball fans claim
this to be one of the finest games
ever played on a Libby field. One
enthusiastic fan made a cash con-
tribution after the game to further
the interests Of the local club which
has had financial trouble from the
start because Of the small crowds Al

Libby now plays two games away
from home with Standpoint and Sa
gle and then comes home to NEE
Boomers on August 10 and post
poned game with Standpoint, prob
ably on August II.

Errors in Federal social security

Reavis of the Social Security
Boards Great Falls field office re-
vealed here today.
With July 81 being the deadline
for filing another quarterly tax re-
turn, employers throughout the state
are being requested to cooperate in
avoiding inaccuracies and omissions
which later might cause expense
and loss of time, as well as cause
possible loss to employees.
Correct tax returns are import
ant" said Manager Reavis, mot only
because this accuracy is important
to the keeping of Social Security
records but to safeguard the inter-
ests of thousands of Montana work
ers in industry and commerce for
whom accounts have been estab-
lished-and this cannot be done
without the help of employers"
Many causes contribute to faulty
reporting of an employees wages

include number, or errors on tn,

Must Stop Feeding

Arrests Will Follow

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK
Feeding bears leads to many COM
plications Ask Park Ranger Ray
E. Bryan of the Lake Mcdonald
area, in charge of the bear patrol.
The bears in Glacier are still in
a wild state, regardless how tame
they may appear, and after they
are fed a few tid-bits by motorists,
they refuse to rustic for themselves,
and begin begging. When the next
motorist comes along and needs the
park regulations which forbid feed
ing the bears, the bears become in
solent, arrogant and break into au-
tomobiles and tents in search oil
"easy food They also become bold
and approach persons which they
would not otherwise do, and per-
sonal injuries result.
Then Ranger Bryan has to go out
with his bear trap, catch the bruins
and move them to remote section.
of the park where they are not *
apt to encounter humans. Ranger,
have trapped IA bears in the las
month. Now tourists stop Bryan
and ask him why they don't see *
many bears along Going -the-Sur
Highway.
Glacier National Park this season
has had only four persons injured
by bears, due mainly to the careful
patrol that is made of the region
in which the bears frequent tn,
highway.
Feeding bears in national park
is prohibited by law because it i
dangerous, not only to the persol
who feels sorry for the "cute Lit
tie bear but also to the next per
son that comes along. Unless tn
don't feed the bears signs ar
complied with rangers will "crac
down" and arrests will follow, par

Muddy Appearance of Kooteno River

Wonder; Forest Mon Gives Explonotion

erosion when a timbered area is
burned over and the forest cover
DESTROYED. Across the international
line in Canada, the timber has been
burned as far as the eye can see.
There one sees occasional patches
of green timber; the rest is a bar
rem, burned waste. Here there are
burned spots, with occasional
burned areas.
1.-THE natural result is now fol-
lowing in that burned over area
in Canada. The forest cover is gone
and the land is open to erosion.
Recent heavy storms across the
boundary have begun to carry OFT
the top soil and move it into the
Kootenai river. That is why the
Kootenai has turned SO muddy dur
ing the past week, while local
streams have remained clear. Fro
sion is carrying off the soil in that
part Of Canada drained by the koQ,

This is an example OF how much
wiser it is to protect the forests

forces, an example Of how loss Of

Forest Fires
Fewer So Far
This Year
Only IS Blazes
Compared to 1876 in
Same 1910 Period.
FIVE MAN-CAUSED;
SIXTY BY LIGHTNING

The number of forest fires this
year has been much below that Of
last year at this time, according to
a report secured from the Libby Of
flee Of the forest service yesterday.
Up to that time there had been q
fires, while last year during the
same period there had been ~
fires in the timber. This year con-
ditions Of the forests have been
more favorable; last year the condi-
tons were just the opposite, 4 bad
electric storm last season having
been responsible for 307 fires. The
storm last Saturday night resulted
in Is fires as reported to data.
There have been so lightning
caused fires up to yesterdays re-
port. One fire came from 4 camp
fire, three fires were due to nnol-
ers, and one came from debris
burning The campfire and two OF
the smoker-caused fires were
classed as spot fires; one OF the
smoker fires was somewhat larger
but not to exceed two acres. The
fire from debris burning covered
about half acre OF the lightning
fires, one was a 2-acre fire, one
covered about an acre and a hall,
and five OF them are still burning
with the sizes still unknown. All
of the others could be classed as
spot fires.
The estimated damage to the ma
tional forests this year is only
$500. Last year at this time, the
estimated damage was $1,000. Two
fires this year have been Grimm
ally caused, i. e., by violation Of
some law
A comparison with last years
fires is interesting. To date last
year there had been four small
; b1azes frnnn zczfnp fifes, one ca1nI
: fire blaze from two to 10 acres, foul
small smoker-caused fires, 288 small
lightning caused fires, SO lightning
fires from one-quarter to 10 acre.
in size, and 80 larger fires. Making
total of 387 lightning fires, a gros.
total of 1896 fires last year up tx
this time.
Of the so lightning fires this year
4 Is of them have been in tho Troy
district, Is in the Libby district
2 and nearly all of the remaining 81
E fires have been in the Raven dis
! trict south OF Libby.
