A Thought for Today

Therefore when thou dOest thine aims, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hy- pocrites do in the synagOgues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verify say unto you, They have their reward. Matthew 6:2.

School Children
Wotch Big Horn
Roms in Bottle

WARLAND.--As most everyone
knows, the Ural schoolhouse is sit
uated on the east side Of the Koo-
tenai river at the foot Of high
mountain where herds OF big horns
are visible most every day from the
school yard. It Is indeed an inter-
esting sight to see bunch OF ewes
and lambs peacefully feeding along
the cliffs, and yet always on the
alert for an approaching foe. Quite
often the big rams come out and
stage battle scene for their ex-
elusive audience, the Ural school
children and their teacher, Julia
A. Beebe.
The other day the children and
their teacher witnessed an event OF
lifetime, SO says Jackie Fitzpatrick
who goes to the Ural school. Jackie
says they, saw two big rams fight
ing up on the cliff little ways
from the schoolhouse. They would
back off and come together with
such terrific force that the sound
was similar to the bang Of q small
calibre rifle as the impact OF the
two big ram heads met head on.
They would then shake their heads,
back off and try it all over again.
The children watched this fight for
about Is minutes until finally q
young ram walked out and decided
to take 10 to chance at one OF
the big boys. Jackie says he made a
desperate attempt but went down
for the count in the first round.

FaithfuI Friend
Dies After Years
Of Service

EUREKA big Boy the IS
year-old Chesapeake Bay dog of the
Schagel family, died last week. He
helped the younger Schagel chill
dren grow up, accompanied them to
school, acting as watch dog over
them and playing with them. At one
time he saved his younger master
Billy, a lad of seven or eight, from
drowning by pulling him out of
the deep water of the mill pond
where he had fallen. When winter
would arrive he would act as sled
dog, pulling the youngsters four or
five miles in q day. big Boy"
when young, went along on hunt
ing and fishing trips with the fam
lily and when swimming season was
on would 60 along with the young
sters swimming. When old age fl
nally caught up with him, he spent
his time as watch dog at the home,
and up until his death would ac-
company Miss Helen Schagel to the
office each morning, then he would
turn around and 60 home. He was
faithful to the last and will be re-
membered as faithful friend to the
now grown up Schagel children.

High School
Help In
Tree p dntinQ

Tree planting on the Kootenai
national forest, completed this week,
includes $4,000 Douglas fir on the
Libby district, 21,60O Douglas fir
and Ponderosa pine on the Fortine
district, 1900 Douglas fir and Pom
derosa pine on an experimental plot
on the Rexford district and there
will be planted On additional $4,000
on the Rexford district May I and
8. The tracts planted to Douglas fir
and Ponderosa pine are planted half
fir and half pine in alternate rows.
1t was planned to plant $4,000
trees but high temperatures and
drying winds during the past weeks
made this impractical.
The planting was done hy young
men from the Troy, Libby and Eu-
reka high schools y all about 80 Of
these young men Contributed their
best efforts to theswork.
On a smalf area of Douglas fir
planted on the Fortine district in
1041, 80 per cent Of the trees are
living. This is considered an excep-
tional survival.
It Is realized by the foresters that
the "a, 500 trees planted on 36 acres
i not major part Of the amounts
lost each year by fire. It is hoped
the studs being initiated on these
comparatively small areas Will re-
suit III much better understanding

Many Honor Couple
On 50th Wedding
Anniversary

Mr. and Mrs. w. E. Dexter held
open house Tuesday at their lovely
home on Louisiana avenue in COM
memoration of their golden we'd
ding anniversary, and it was in
deed an open house, judging from
the unusually large number OF
friends who called both afternoon
and evening to extend their con-
gratulations and best wishes to this
estimable couple.
Hours of the pleasant affair were
from to S in the afternoon and
from to II in the evening. The
home bore a festive spring atmos-
phere because Of the great pro-
fusion Of lovely lowers gifts from
well-wishers for the occasion. Across
the end of the dining room and in
front of the fireplace, there was a
long table with lovely appointments
and from which were served coffee,
tea, wedding cake and other light
refreshments. The ladies who
poured during the afternoon were
Mrs. Don Leach, Mrs. Lionel Shau-

Registered
Voters B Small

An official notice Is running Ia
this neWspnpsr IT this time that car
RS nnn1 impoFtaaee this xear,
4. Gs1aGsu1Ds - eeurrCteJk J1ld|
Recorder Schuck telling the public
that registration books for the pri-
mary nominating election on July
Is of this year will close at S
o'clock on Friday afternoon, June 2.
This is important news this year
because the number OF voters in
Lincoln county who are registered
up to this date is abnormally small.
AT the last presidential election-in
l940-the registration was some
what over 1900. In the election two
years ago the registration was 5000.
So far this year the regiSeration is
little less than 1000, or less than
half the 1910 number.
This decrease in numbers can be
explained easily. A large number
OF former residents have left the
county in order to work in war in
dustries. They may still retain their
legal residence here but many of
them are careless about keeping up
their registration and applying for
absent voters ballots. Another ex-
PLANTATION is that quite large num-
Der failed to vote at the last gem
eral election and that makes it
necessary that they should register
again il they wish to vote this year.
Those who did not vote at the last
general election or those who voted
by absent voters ballot must re-
register.
It is passing strange how many
people there are who are positive
they voted at the last general cleo
ton but who in fact did not vote.
That is proven to them by a refer
ence to the precinct poll book which
discloses that they did not sign the
poll book and therefore did not
vote. The safest way to do away
with any such mistake is to take
the necessary steps to be sure that
one is registered before the books
close on June q
A president Of the United States
Is to be elected this year as we'll
as congressional, state and county
officers, 1t is the duty of every
American to cast an intelligent vote.
This can not be done if one is not
registered.
Electors may register by appear
ing before the county clerk at his
office in the court house or by any
deputy registrar, justice Of the
peace or notary public.

Reports On
1913 Business

Despite record breaking revenues,
the 1943 net income Of the Great
Northern railway barely exceeded
the average for the years from 1901
to 1880, stockholders were informed
by +. J. Gavin, president, in the
company's annual report.
Return on investment was report
ed as four and four-tenths per cent.
Dividends Of $500 a share were
paid stockholders.
Funded debt was reduced $23,-
100000 during 1943, and fixed
charges At the end Of the year were
on q lower basis than at any time
since the first World War.
In order to earn about the same
net incon1e Is for the average from
1901 to 1880, the railroad had to
increase its business by @l1o,000,-
000. which required the Transports
ton OF nearly three times as much
freight and two and one-half times
as much passenger business.
Comparing 1913 with the earlier
3O-year average, wages were $780,
100000 higher. $4,000,000, 900 was
paid out for old age benefits and
unemployment payroll taxes, and
taxes were up $3e,00o,OO Taxes
for 1913 totaled $48, 461, 070, or about
one fourth OF the total revenue.
Movement Of grain produced in
Great Northern territory totaled
229, 000, 900 bushels, which was 80
per cent more than the 1915 record.
A large part OF this increase repre-
sented the movement Of held-ovex
grain.
Mr. Gavin reported that many
measures had been adopted to make
up for manpower deficiencies, in
Guiding frightening OF the work
week; building dormitories and res
taurants for workers in congested
areas employing women for round
house, shop and track work; and
employing special maintenance
crews Of high school boys during
the summer.
Looking toward increased activity
in the Pacific war sphere, Mr.. Ga
vim said that the railroad is i'm
proving its line on the west slspe
Of the Rocky mountains, relocating
six miles Of railway and construct
ing three tunnels totaling about
$500 feet.
1 The report calls attention to the
fact that 1943 completed a half
century of transcontinental service
by the Great Northern.
Mr.. Gavin stated that the un-
precedented volume Of war traffic
had been moved with dispatch and
without congestion" and acknowl-
edged the splendid cooperation re-
ceived from shippers, government
departments, and the company's
employees
"As the war in the Pacific in
creases in intensity. said Mr.. GA
vim, "even greater transportation
demands are expected. Despite the
critical manpower and material sit
uation 1t is believed that the Great
Northern will effectively bear its
full share of the war effort"
