FREIGHT Train
Mon.
Eve Libby

Fifteen railroad cars splintered
twisted, and piled high in a tan
gled mass was the result when a
through freight on the Great Nor
thern Main Line was wrecked a
bout two hundred yards east of the
Libby depot. The train of So cars
carrying lumber, coal, oil and other
commodities was roaring through
enroute from Whitefish to Spokane
when the accident occurred at 1880
p. m. Monday night.
A wheel broke on heavily
loaded coal car about a half mile
east OF the depot but the car held
the track until inside the city limits
before leaving the rails and causing
the cars behind it to buckle, IA of
them crashed into the derailed coal
car. The train was a diesel drawn
outfit running at about As miles an
hour when the accident happened.
Within four hours after the wreck
occurred, trained crews from White
fish, end from Hillyard, Wash, were
here ready to begin clearing away
the debris as soon as daylight came.
In addition to cars belonging 10
the train, two loaded ones sided on
the No track were also crushed
by tie derailed portion of the train
In spite of the amount of wreck
age, no delay in train service thru
Libby was experienced, though 20
rails were torn from the roadbed
when the cars left the railbed. Three
of the cars were so badly wrecked,
i was impossible for them to leave
Libby on their own trucks, as did
the ether IL
Large crowds from Libby were at
the scene of the wreck all day Tues
day watching the crews clear away !
the debris. The work was so well
organized that early Wednesday af-
ternoon, practically all the wreck
wos cleared away.
Fortunately no crew members or
others were hurt in the accident.

Study CoIorfuI
Montana History

o. L. Gillespie was the leader for
the Montana Study Group Tuesday
evening in the Library, on the sub
iect MONTANA A PLACE TO
LIVE. Starting the subject was a
brief presentation of early Montana
history including the different tribes
Of Indians living in the territory.
David Thompson was the first white
man known to be in our local vic
Unity and his trip down the Koo-
tenai River from Canada was dis
cussed. The large Thompson map
in the library and small photostatic
copies Of pages Of Thompson's diary
were shown and discussed.
Fur traders and trappers made a
colorful part of the history of the
state as did mining history. The live
stock industry has affected the his
tory of the state a great deal and
the gradual increase of farming to
the large production point at the
present time has been an aid to
economic sterilization of the state
Montana is still a frontier, geo.
graphically and culturally. How
ever, Montana industry has been
faster in modernization than many
states and is more progressive in
many ways.
There are differences in the Gull
ture and industry on the two sides
of our state and their economy be.
ing so different it is difficult to have
a state unity. With the develop
ment of irrigation farming has chan
ged and become more stable and
in many ways conditions have IA
vored the introduction of moderni-
zation not only economically but the
people have also been quick to add

In the last home game of the
season the Libby Terriers over
whelmed a scrappy Flathead Re
serve team SO to 37 The Terriers
were at their best in running up
their highest score of the year. Pas
sing was good and the Terriers had
many close-in shots to connect on
a very high percentage of attempts.
The Flathead team made a valiant
fight of it and were most dangerous
in the last quarter when they be-
gan to hit on their shots, McGinnis
hitting four shots in succession be-
fore missing one. Both teams star
ted slowly and the game was dull
at times while the two teams were
feeling each other out. It was not
until the end of the first quar-
Ter that the game began to speed
up bit The last quarter was
free scoring affair with Libby hav-
ing the best of it. The Libby team
worked as a unit with all boys de-
