Ship Moves Crob-Foshion

OSLO. - Norwegian marine en-
gineers have long excelled in de-
signing special ships for specific
purposes. Development of tn e
floating whaling factory, the high

modern tanker, is largely due to
their apparent limitless magma
ton.
A recent item from Floroe, Nor

past reports. Experimenters in

Press Discusses
Marshall's Post

STOCKHOLM, January 9-(By
wireless) - The appointment of
General c. Marshall as United
States Secretary of State, sue
ceeding James F. Byrnes, has
created much surprise in Sweden
and several newspapers admit
openly to being confounded Nor
gOn-Tidningen, leading organ of
the Social-Democratic Labor par
ty, writes that the selection of
General Marshall must be seen
against the background of forth
coming Russo-American talks on
the Far East, where a situation
obtains which demands at least
as much caution in handling as
war-ravaged Europe.
The paper ends by saying that
the advent of General Marshall
probably does not mean any
changes in the American foreign
policy. THE victories scored by
Mr.. Byrnes, especially in the last
half year, have been too important
for that"
The Liberal StOckhOIms-T idnin.
gen, on the other hand, is of the
opinion that the change might
mean a INFLAMMATION of the high
est posts in the State Department.
Nothing confirms the suspicion,
however," the paper continues,
that General Marshall would be
inclined to sharpen the relations
with the Soviet Union, after Mr..
Byrnes by quiet and patient
means, has succeeded in lessening
Moscow's distrust to a consider

But the Labor Court is no in

This is because laws were often

National Museum in Stockholm, in
cooperation with the Swedish state
railways.
A number of parlor cars and
coaches has been set aside for the
purpose and in them will be hung
small, carefully chosen exhibitions

attached to freight or milk"
trains and make numerous stops
III towns and villages which the
express trains proudly ignore.
1t is planned to have an art ex-
pert travel along with each exhibit
ton and give orienting talks on the
paintings shown at the various
places where the train halts. The
interest is great both among
Swedish painters, who in this way
will find a wider market, and
among art-minded people living
far from a picture collection.

A Message For All
Veterans to Reed

Commander Metzger of Harper.
Erdmann Post of the Veterans Of
Foreign Wars has asked The West
ern News to request members OF
the VFW to pay their '48 dues
now if they wish to attend the
party of the '48-ers' which is to
be held in the near future to dedi-
cate the meeting and club rooms.
The attention of all veterans is
called to the following notice from
the United Veterans Council.
All war veterans should join a
veteran organization now With
elections in the near future, it is
essential that we all organize our
potential voting power to elect
those who are favorable to the needs
of the veteran. BY joining a vet
eran organization, be it the Ameri-
can Legion, Disabled American Vet
Grams or Veterans of Foreign Wars,
we will present an organized front
to help in the passing of legislative
bills which will help and protect
the rights and privileges of the vet
eran.
If you do not join, not only will
we fail to gain future benefits but
we are very apt to lose the ones
we have at present So all veterans,
we ask you again, think it over and
Join a veterans organization now"

Regarding The
WGyTn-Aud.
In Libby

When will Libby's new Gym
nasium be built?
A number of people have asked
this question from various school
authorities. After eonferine with
the architect recently the informa-
ton was received that the building
as planned would cost almost twice
the amount of the $115,00O.OO bond
issue passed for this purpose. When
this situation will change is some
thing upon which many people dis
agree. There are some people wen
informed on this matter who be-
leve building costs will decrease
to considerable extent during
l948. There are others who can
see no possibility of much Of q
decrease for some time. Definitely
planning is therefore pretty much
impossible at the present
In reviewing the situation at their
meeting Monday night the Board
of Trustees felt that three pos
sibilities were open to them:
/. Building now, regardless OF
cost, if another bond issue could
be passed.
2. Using the money available to
build a structure inferior in size
and quality to the one originally
planned.
3. Waiting for few more months
until the cost of building becomes
more definitely established.
The latter choice seemed the
most advisable for the present.
The question has also been asked
as to what has happened to the
money received from the sale OF
the bonds. The answer to this iss
the money has been deposited with
the county treasurer by the bonding
and can be used at any
time for building purposes. 1t can
be used for nothing else.
Another question which has been
asked is: has any advantage been
obtined by bonding at the time the
ssue was carried and sold This
answer seems to be in the af-

1916 LUMBER PRODUCTION
INCREASE REPORTED BY
EXPERIMENT STATION

Missoula, Montana, October a.
Lumber production in the Northern
Rocky Mountain region increased
1879 in 1916 as compared to 1915
according to M. B. Dickerman, chief
division of forest economics, North
ern Rocky Mountain Forest and
Range Experiment Station, Mis-
soula This increase was not as
large as the national average Of
plus 3696, but is about equal to
that of the other western regions.
This information, Mr.. Dickerman
explained, was obtained by contact
ing every sawmill in the region to
get production figures. Similar
data are collected each year. The
project is sponsored by the Bureau
of Census.
Northeast Washington and Mon
tana lumber production was higher
than the regional average of 129o.
In Northeast Washington the in
crease was 2996; in Montana, 1870.
North Idaho, the largest producing
section in the region, only stepped
up production go.
An unprecedented nation-w wide
demand for all specie and kind of
lumber was back of this increase.
Other contributing factors were, ac-
cording to Mr. Dickerman, a more
plentiful supply of labor, favorable
weather, the availability Of equip
ment, and the elimination of price
control the latter part of the year.
