Christmas Tree
Business Good

Last year there were approx.
mately 279 car loads of Christmas
Trees shipped out of the country
This year there will be approx
mately 280 car loads.
Many people think that christmas
tree business tends to destroy our
forest, but rather it helps for a
better growing. By cutting trees
1t IS found that it weeds out. It
IS all beneficial and not destructive.
The Douglas fir trees are found
to be the most desirable because of
their beauty and tendency to stand
rough usage. They also stay green
and keep longer.
The income on Christmas trees
for Lincoln county for the past year
was 100000, with the Eureka VIC
nifty leading in production.
There were 100 individual sales
this year and an average
stump rate of six inches per tree.
By the first week in December
County Christmas trees will
)e shipped all over the United
states, mostly in the middle states
where trees do not grow.

of highway construction in Mon
tana's history is now under contract
with about S6,300,000 worth actually
under construction, Howard w. HoI
mes, state highway engineer, ha!
reported
He said of the $1O,OO0,OOO under
contract 100000 was let last week
when the commission accepted, sub
ject to feedral public roads admin
istration approval, bids on nine con-
struction projects.
Bids on an estimated $1,972,500
In projects will be opened Dec. 10,
which, if let, would bring the states
total to more than $12,O00,00O, since
bids were expected to be slightly
larger than the estimates, a spokes-
man explained.
Projects scheduled to be let Dec.
10 include 4.8 miles of the Avon
HelmVille road, estimated cost $110,-
JOG; 3.3 miles Bridger Canyon road,

Holmes pointed out that most of
ne projects contracted were grade,
lrtace and oil projects, and only
ne serious steel shortage has pre-
ented construction of new bridges.
He explained that most materials
eeded for all construction were in
tort supply, and that the depart
ent and commission had worked
nder unfavorable conditions be-
luse of the uncertainty of govern

Great Success

Libby's 1916 Halloween obser-

IN the records as. the best in his

organizations joined in providing a
thoroughly enjoyable program of

destructive trick or treat of pre-
Vious years, and the window-soap-
ing which made merchants dread

OF the new plan has issued a state
ment which makes clear the sue
cess of the event, and the wide
interest and participation in it. The
statement follows:
