Will Increase
Water

The water supply for Libby is to
besdoubled and trebled many times
over in the near future At least
that is what this office infers from
the legal notice for bids appearing
in this weeks issue of The West
ern News, and a short discussion of
the same with the local manager,
E. j. Driear of the Mountain States
Power Co.
Plans call for the construction of
new dam to impond water about
a mile and one-half above the pres
ent reservoir on Flower Creek, the
dam to be located about S miles
from Libby. The new dam will be
constructed SIS feet above bed rock
and will be 125 feet long.
The structure calls for the use Of
1920 yards of concrete, IL yards
of rock excavation, 1000 lineal feet
of fence around the reservoir, and
a small amount of steel and pipe.
Bids will be opened July 2, and
as soon as is possible after the job
is let, we understand the work will
begin. This improvement should
provide an entirely adequate sup
ply of water for the city, even in
extreme dry wears.

Beer Fails to Poy
Any Red Points
Alice B. Day

For the past week VIM. Hellenga
and Ed Leonard have been bear
hunting in their back yards. On
his first raid the bear took nearly
a quarter of veal. A few nights
later, with no respect for the O..
P. A. and not leaving any ration
points, he drank a gallon Of cream
and ate four pounds Of butter. Then
the hunt started. Ration points or
his hide! For several nights they
gave UP and went to bed just be-
fore the bear came-but he always
came!
After he tore the pen to pieces in
vain effort to get the calf, the
men decided to cut the night into
shifts and watch all night. Friday
night Bill got in shot during his
shift sometime after IL o'clock. The
wounded bear plunged through the
creek and into the thicket beyond.
The next day they trailed and fin
ished him. 1t took three shots The
light of day revealed the fact that
their boarder was huge grizzly.

Troy
The Company is Building
With the Idea Of Supplying
Increased Postwar Needs
WILL INCREASE THE
GENERATING POWER

Construction Of the big nume IN
Lake Creek Canyon, east OF Troy.
has been started, according to e
+. Veldman, of the J. Nei1s Jokdee
force.
The preliminary work Of tsariux
out the old nume, which was CEN
structed OF plank in 1915 by d,e
Snowstorm Mining Co, and tn
tearing down of q great deal a
mountain to make way for 1not-
ings for the new flune has be<aL
completed.
Art .Neils and A. v. Dunkle win
have supervision of the work which
they exptc. to last we'll into thfa
coming fall, with "a men being
employed on the project, as much
of the labor coming from local men
as possible
The old project, which supplied
the power for the plant at Troy,
was capable of creating 1850 Hlo-
watts. The material in the flume
was badly deteriorated, with much
water being lost on the course from
the dam to the penstock.
The new flume is to be built OF
wooden slaves, which the Neils mill
will manufacture, $4,000 board feet
being required. Cement cradles will
hold the wooden flume, which will
be reinforced at all prominent
curves with metal construction.
The new flume will start at the
dam, which will not need any work
done on it, and travel about 1900
1set to the present penstock. It will
be 10 feel in diameter at the fore
BAY and talSeoff from tbs dam.
which is much larger than the pres
ent layout, and will make it posi-
BILE to enlarge the present penstock
to increase generating power, after
the war. Wren the project is COM
pleted, generating power will be
increased an additional 5000 kilo-
watts, having total Of about 1850
k. W.
Having confidence that industry
in this area will be on the increase
IN the years to come, the company
is building with that in mind. Their
own Prest-o-Log output is to be in
creased, and with sustained yield
unfolding timber production, our
natural resorces and other insti-
cations, the company hopes to be
able to meet the demand for more
power from this perfect.

A COW moose alone is one thing,
but a COW moose with her small
calf is something else! At least that
is somewhat the way the thoughts
rushed through Don Hargreaves'
mind last Sunday when he sudden
ly found himself facing a sour ap-
pearing old COW moose and her
small calf
Don was fishing on Granite Creek
when a seventh sense" caused him
to look up and there the two were
looking him over from only a few
yards distant. A hasty glance con-
WINGED Don the COW was ready TO
defend her calf, and inclined to be
somewhat aggressive about the
same The fisherman "froze' and
after several minutes the old lady
calmly turned about and led her
child back into the bush.
The Libby man followed exactly
the right tactics, for while ordinar-
lily moose II z very timid animal,
yet when wounded or when q COW
believes her cali to be In danger,
the animal may become extremely
dangerous and is almost impossible
to scare away.

Pomona Grange Held
Picnic Sunday

The annual picnic and regular
meeting Of the Lincoln County Po-
mona Grange was held at Warland
on Sunday, June 10. The picnic
was held on the beautiful camp
grounds Of the u S. National For
est Service, which, together with
the mess hall and kitchen, were
generously thrown open for the oc-
casion. After all had partaken
heartily of the usual abundance OF
eatables served at such events, a
program was given under the d.
rection of the Pomona Lecturer,
Mary Moses Of Eureka. Numerous
songs and skits were presented by
groups from the various Oranges
Of the county; an original article
about the State Correspondence
School was read by Mr.. Peterson
Of Warland, and Mrs. Jackson read
an essay on Grange activities, aims,
and purposes, written by Marie
Shea of Eureka.
The program wound up with a
Liars contest, which clearly dem
onstrated that we have some OUT
standing talent in this direction
among our membership.
At the business meeting, held in
the Warland school house, six new
members were given the obligation
by Master Winton Weydemeyer. A
resolution protesting against the es-
Enlistment of a Columbia Valley
Authority was introduced and
adopted. 1t was decided that the
next Pomona meeting will be held
in Eureka on the fourth Saturday
of August at which time the Fifth
degree will be given in full form to
all candidates not having been
previously formally initiated in this
degree.
The weather was perfect, the at
tendance was exceptionally large,
the eats were bountiful, the pro-
gram was enjoyable and entertain
ing, the meeting was harmonious,
and the day will long be remem-
bered by those who attended, and
your reporter is one of many who
feels that the line of our song which
says, ooh: It's good to be Granger"
is very appropriate at an occasion
of this sort

f Bond Sales
Lag in County
Loan Drive
County Chairman States
Lincoln Raised $3.50;
To Renew Loan Drive.
COUNTY DROPPED TO
48th RANK IN MONT.

Lincoln county has slipped back
somewhat since last week in the
standing Of Montana counties for
the 7th War Loan. A bulletin Tues
day from the office of Mrs. Jessie
Fagerberg states:
Late reports received from state
war bond sale headquarters indi-
cate that Lincoln county has
reached the $685. mark in the sales
OF E bonds. Total individual bond
sales, exclusive Of corporation, now
amounts to $00,50O. Bond sales in the
Seventh War Loan Drive climbed
above last weeks sales making us
40th in state.
Lincoln county shows 94.5To to-
tai individual sales, which will be
well over the quota by the end of
the week. More intense work must
be done to reach the e bond quota. !"
Mrs. Fagerberg asks all pulchas-
ers to fulfill their pledges as soon
as possible.
Discussing the shortage in Lin
coin county Chairman krall of the
Libby drive states that another
drive will be put on in Libby be-
fore many days to endeavor to
bring the drive to q successful end
in Lincoln county before the closing
date OF June 80. With a deficit the
first Of the week of about $685. 900
it becomes necessary for all to do
even more than their part.
The following news release ex-
emplifies the spirit which should be
followed by every Montana citizen
during the 7th War Bond drive.
Hayes is shown in the picture pub
llshed last week on Page Of The
Western News. The story follows:
Marine Private First Glass Ira
n. Hayes, one Of the three survivors
Of the historic Two Jima flag-rais-
ing, is being returned, at his own
request, to duty overseas.
The Marine Corps announcement
that Hayes would 60 overseas for
his third tour of duty fulfills wish
he expressed when he first returned
to the United States for the war
bond tour assignment He said then
that he knew he would be happier
with his buddies overseas.
Hayes was SO loath to leave his
outfit the 18th Regiment, conquer
ors of Mount Suribachi, that when
questioned in the field he was re-
luctant to admit his role in the
flag-raising. Before he left the out
tit, he was introduced to Major
General Keller E. Hickey, Fifth Ma
rine Division Commander and asked
his commanding general if he could
eventually be returned to his old
outfit. He had his first combat as a
Marine parachute trooper on Bou-
granville. Hayes is the man sec
ond from the left on the famous
picture. He is carrying his rifle,
slung over his shoulder"
With such spirit among our
heroic fighting men, how can we
at home excuse ourselves should
we fail to back them to the full
in the present war bond drive?
