Seven Tractors on
Highway Job

Don Boots, superintendent of the
Peter Kiewit Sons Co. job on high
way No. 2 near Happy's Inn, an
nounced yesterday that seven cater
pillar tractors are now at work on
this project. Four scrapers, two doz-

working west from the east end of
the last section of uncompleted
highway between Libby and Kahs-
pell.
BY tomorrow morning Mr.. Boots
said that $4,000 yards of dirt will
have been moved. Ross Kirkpatrick
is now busy with his clearing and
grubbing crew and they are burn
ing debris at the present time.
The bridge across the Pleasant
Valley Fisher river is now complet-
ed, except for paint, and is being
used regularly.
John Oehlrich, timekeeper, was

Auto Kills Deer
At Hoppy's Inn

The killing of two deer on the
highway near Libby cost Jesse Ken
nedy, Spokane lumber broker SITS.
The cost was not through any
game law fine, but in damages to
the Kennedy car through the clash
with the deer on the highway. MIR.
Kennedy was speeding eastward on
highway No. east Of Libby. With
in 100 yards of Happy's Inn, the
deer started to race across the road,
one of the animals plunging right
in front of the car and was hit
head-on. The second animal
plunged into the side of the door
and caved it in sufficiently to cause
damage of $40.
THE only thing that kept me
from turning over was the speed
/ was travelling fast, and ! never
saw deer plunge into sight SO quick
ly. Both of the deer were killed
instantly, said Kennedy. '--Missou-

PIonning Big
Refrigeroting Plant
For Fish Hatchery

Graham Caldwell, superintendent
in charge of the state fish hatchery
at Libby, is gathering plans, speci-
fications and costs for a refrigerat-
ing plant at the hatchery, now that
electric current is available.
Mr.. Caldwell says he is gathering
data for a cotton refrigerator. This
would make possible the keeping on
hand of six months supply of feed,
which would be sufficient for the
number of fry it is expected will
be carried at the hatchery when
the rearing ponds are built up ac-
cording to- plans. 1t is necessary to
freeze and store so large a supply
of feed for the reason that the cat
fish, squaWfish and other undesir-
able species can be caught to best
advantage only at certain times Of
the year. These are frozen and used
for feed
It is said that state officials are
favorable to the project, and that
it will probably be put in as soon
as the money is on hand. Mr.. Cad
well says he hopes that will be
late this fall or early next spring.

Beer Causing
Trouble at Comp

A black bear has been causing
some trouble at Happy's Inn where
the Peter Kiewit construction camp
is now located. John Oehlrich, who
is timekeeper for the company, said
recently one family was awakened
by noise on the roof and discov-
cred it to be a bear. The roof of
this cabin is not too solid and if the
bear had fallen through he might
have killed the occupants, man,
his wife and two children. Undoubt-
eddy the fall and surprise would
have made him unusually ferocious.
Mr.. Oehlrich also said that the
bear had attempted to break into
the meat house but had not sue
ceeded. He asked that the deputy
game warden look into the matter.
1t is believed that it is the same
bear that has been raising havoc
near Fairview.

Committee PIons
For Sole of
Defense Stamps

Last evening the members Of the
Defense Savings Executive Com
mittee for Lincoln county met at
the library to discuss program up
on which to work.
Those present agreed to sponsor
an essay contest with defense stamp
prizes to those who win. The contest
will be thrown open to all of the
schools in Lincoln county and
County Superintendent Jessie Fag-
erburg will be committee chairman.
Other members of the committee,
as appointed by Chairman ]. F.
Fennessy, Jr., are A. l. Dean OF
Troy, E. E. Price, Eureka, Harold
Miller.
The prizes will be large enough
so it will be worth every students
time to work hard on the project.
A theatre plan was discussed also
and M. D. Rowland was appointed
chairman of this committee.
Vernon Crotteau, chairman, and
F. l.. DeRosia were appointed to
contact the business houses OF Lib
by asking them to sell defense
stamps. They will also Distribute

will be held later in the year.
After a little more deliberation,
complete details of the plans will
be announced through the columns

In the general discussion that fol-
lowed, it was suggested that bridge
hostesses give defense stamps in
stead of some trinket that might
prove very useless to the winner
In this way the ladies would be
doing their share to get the defense
idea started and at the same time
would relieve themselves OF severe
worry and mental agony as to the
necessary prizes.

Libby Dog Wins
Prizes in East

Something over year ago pure
bred Chesapeake female dog owned
by DR.. v. A. Hannigan but kept
and handled by Gus Delzer, gave
birth to III fine pups. One of these
pups was given to Ray Bryan, high
way patrolman of Kalispell, owner
of the sire of the pups. He in turn
gave the pup to friend back in
Wisconsin. Word now comes back
to Montana that this pup, now
full-grown dog, has been entered in
several dog shows in that section
and has taken number of first
prizes.
Several of this same litter are
owned in and around Libby. They
are all strong, vigorous dogs and ex-
cellent hunters and retrievers. Their
owners think highly of them, with

Tuesday while on their way
grouse hunting Mrs. Glen Nolop,
daughter Celia Ann, and Mr.. and
Mrs. George Heath had the good
fortune to see a COW moose cross
ing the road near Paul Bunyan's
grave. The animal was in no par

mind the presence of the car or
people.
This is very unusual sight along
highway and the occupants of the
car consider themselves very lucky
to have been at that spot at that
time.
