Hos Marrow Escape
In Cor Smash

Earl Buckingham is considering
himself lucky that he came out OF
a bad auto crash with no more serl-
Gus injuries that he did suffer. Last
Sunday afternoon, about o'clock,
as Mr.. Buckingham was driving
toward town on west Sixth street,
his car was crashed into by car
coming from the south, the collision
occurring at the intersection at the
corner of Robert Neils residence.
The Buckingham car, a heavy coupe,
was turned over a time or two,
rolling almost into the Neils yard.
Mr.. Buckingham suffered several
painful injuries. Broken glass was
gouged into one shoulder, his scalp
was cut, and his left leg was also
injured. The car was badly de-
molished.
The car responsible for the acct
dent was occupied by four or five
boys, all minors. According to re-
port, the car did not have license,
neither did any of the boys have
drivers license. 1t is also said
the car was without brakes and
could be stopped quickly only by
throwing it into reverse. It is I'M
derstood juvenile authorities are
looking into the matter.

may Be purchased with blue food
stamps by those families taking part
in the food stamp plan. Theodore
S. Kennard, Surplus Marketing Ad-
ministration area supervisor, an
nounced that nearly $1,000 low-in-
come persons were participating in
the plan in the eight Montana coun-
ties operating the program last
month.
Blue stamp foods as designated
for the month Of August are as fol-
lows: Fresh vegetables, including
potatoes; fresh plums, fresh prunes,
fresh pears, fresh oranges, fresh

Deer Runs Away
With Week S Wosh

GLACIER NATIONAL PARK
Park Ranger Ariel Edmiston, sta
toned atop Logan Pass on the con-
tinental divide at an elevation of
1854 feet, in Glacier National Park,
is still having his troubles with the
Wildlife in that region of which he
is the guardian during the summer
months.
First porcupines chewed up the
upholstery on his automobile and
then the whistling marmots kept
Edmiston and his family awake
nights, but now he has other trou-
bles.
Mrs. Edmiston looked out the
window of their house trailer,
which serves as temporary ranger
station, the other day to see three
deer calmly chewing on the diapers
she had just hung out to dry. She
made dash to save the baby's APP
parel, but the deer too made dash
still chewing diapers-and one
large buck hooked the clothesline
in his velvet antlers, dragging line
and all as he sped out across the
alpine meadow with his band.
There is no place on Logan Pass
to obtain baby clothes and Ranger
Edmiston sent in a rush call to the
warehouse where employees did moi
know what to do with the order
The supply for Edmiston was re-
plenished from Kalispell.

Repairs Mode
Just in Time

County Commissioner Mahoney
IS considerably gratified over the
fact that Improvement Of the Koote-
mai river bridge at Libby was com
pleted just in time This was dem
onstrated when the repair crew was
putting in the last work during the
past week. The men were at work
tearing out part of the approach
at the north end of the bridge,
to be replaced with new construc-
ton, when a portion of the ap-
proach collapsed The timbers had
deteriorated to such an extent that
it was highly fortunate an accident
had not happened there.
The floor of the bridge has now
been completely rebuilt. New tim
bers have been put in supporting
the floor and new floor material
laid for the full length of the struc-
ture.
The repair work was a Co oper-
alive project in which the state and
the county united to pay the costs.

Thinks Cigarettes
Responsible for Fires

Edward FansloW, proprietor of
the Montana-Made Single Com
pany of Troy, was in Libby Satur-
day. While here he said he ex-
pected to rebuild his mill as soon as
possible and get back into pro-
duction.
He is quite certain that the fire
which destroyed his mill and also
the one that burned business houses
in Troy last week were caused by
the careless throwing around OF
cigarettes. He said the last fire
started in the rear of business
house right where cigarette stub,
tossed by someone walking through
the alley, could have been response
bic for the damage.

Has Fourth
Explanation For
Muddy Kootenoi'

Here's a fourth explanation re-
garding the cause for the muddying
of our beautiful green Kootenai
river at this time of the year--a
most unusual occurrence. It will
be remembered that readers of the
Western News have advanced three
causes for this phenomenon--dredg-
ing at TT Steele, on the headwaters
of the river; flushing out storage
pond Of a power company, and Gro
sion on burned over land caused by
heavy rains.
The fourth explanation seems a
very reasonable one. It Is given by
Earl Lovick OF Libby. Earl spent
the weekend It Wardner, B. c. Wis
ting his mother, Mrs. Louise A.
F1esberg. Wardner j. on the upper
Kootenai and inaEmuch a he had
read the explanation OF the mud
dying Of the river, he was inter-
ested and discussed the mystery
with people Of Wardner. There he
was told what he thinks is probably
the true explanation.
The Kootenai muddied up twice
clearing up between the two muddy
spells. He was told that r1ins
warm weather and the thawinG d
glaciers on Bull river, Z tributary
Of the Kootenai, had caused large
landslide on Bull river. This slide
damned the river for several days
and backed up the flow for = con
siderable distance. Finally the cur
