DISCUSSES CAR FATALITIES
AMONG YOUTHFUL DRIVERS

It's shocking that many states
will not allow a youngster to work
until he's l8, but at a younger age
will blithely issue license permit
ting him to pilot a 5000 pound
automobile as he sees fit"
This was the opinion voiced to-
day by Supervisor England on the
problem of rising traffic fatalities
among youths in the 1924 year
class. Supervisor England spoke in
connection with the Montana High
way Patrols September traffic sa-
fety campaign which has as its pur-
pose the reduction of highway
deaths among children and young
adults"
Immaturity and lack of exper-
fence are only part of the cause, :"
Supervisor England said. A lot of
the trouble lies in inadequate train
ing of young driverS-and for that
there's no one to blame but an in
different public In comparisons
between high schools not having
driver training and those having it, y
he continued, 1T has been proved
that school-tTained drivers have
from 40 to so per cent fewer acct
dents, violations, and less serious
accidents than those receiving no
formal training
The Montana Highway Patrol
pointed out that about 1900 young
people between the ages of Is and
"a are killed every year in high
way traffic deaths. AS a means Of
combating this toll, the Montana
Highway Patrol and the National
Safety Council feel that traffic
classes and driver training in high
schools provide part of the answer.
THE idea of turning an 18-year-
old boy loose with a small airplane
without formal instruction in its
use is one that would turn most
parents hair grey The same par
ents. however, think nothing of
lending a car to their son with no
assurance that he has sound under
standing of safe driving" Super
visor England pointed out.

BOOST FOR TROY AND NEARBY
AREAS; TELLS OF RECREATIONS

Troy and vicinity received q
write-up Of several pages in the cur
rent edition of Sunset, a magazine
of national scope devoted to travel
and vacations in the west. Vivid
descriptions of the country about
Troy, including the Yak to the
north and the Bull Lake country
furnish interesting reading.
The town, itself is decribed IN a
manner to intrigue the reader, while
the vacation spots of the area are
highlighted on a map and described
in some detail in the text. Those
readers of the magazine, who de-
light in beautiful mountain coun-
try, pioneer surroundings and fish
ing and hunting are pretty apt to
set forth to learn more about this
Lincoln County town and the wild
erness area in which it nestles.

Terriers Win $50
From Bonners Ferry

Libby beat Bonners Ferry $50 in
the first game under the lights this
year. Libby ran over the visiting
Boomers Ferry team, scoring in all
periods. Outstanding runs were
turned in by Bob Potter and Bob
Volkenand. Each scored three touch
downs.
The Terriers ground game worked
very well with the linemen open
ing holes for the backs consistently.
Boomers Ferry missed many passes
that should have been good for
large gains While on the whole
the Terriers played good football,
their stopping of opponents passes
was very weak.
Game conditions were excellent,
with the temperature quite warm
and the night clear.
This Friday Columbia Falls comes
to Libby to play the Terriers under
the lights. Game time is at 1870
p. m. Both teams will be seeking
their first conference win.

Begin Work0n
Z0nOIite Cable
Belt Bridge
900 Foot Bridge to Carry
Ore Across KOOtenai to
Railroad Landing Dock
LOCATE CONVEYOR AT
MOUTH OF RAINY CREEK

Work began September Is on the
Zonolite Company'S new cable Sus-
pension conVeyor system for carry
ing Zonolite ore across the KoO-
tenai River and loading it in rail
road cars The cable belt bridge
will be located some six miles up
the river from Libby just above the
Bob Baker Ranch, and John Bags
who is in charge of excavation,
states that two shifts began work
ing Tuesday, the second shift going
on in the evening.
The ore will be trucked down to
the north bank of the river where
bins with approximately 600 tons
total capacity will be located to
receive the material from the
trucks. The bins are being built
over a cement tunnel. A 20inch
belt will pass through the tunnel
beneath the structures, the ore fall
ing through escapes in the bottom
of the bins onto the belt which will
convey it across the river and over
the Great Northern tracks to an
automatic loading machine which
will load it into railroad cars.
The belt which will run on con-
veyors, will be 1870 feet in length,
the bridge being 900 feet long.
Heavy concrete anchors will sup
port two parallel steel cables across
the river from which the conveyors
carrying the belt will be suspended.
The belt will travel at the rate of
approximately 400 feet per minute.
A loading spur is being built be-
tween the Great Northern Mainline
tracks and the mountain. Approx
mately 10000 cubic yards of dirt
will be removed from the hillside
to make room for the spur which
will have a capacity of so railroad
cars.
The installation of this equipment
will eliminate a five mile haul to
the mill in Libby for loaded trucks
and their return empty to the mouth
of Rainy Greek where the loading
bins are located.
Interesting pictures were taken of
the bull dozer and power shovel
crossing the Kootenai. The shovel
is too heavy for passage over the
river bridge at Libby, so the cross
ing to the south bank of the stream
was made by low water ford used
by Bob Baker on his ranch. The
Western News plans in the near fu-
ture to publish one of the pictures
taken by Mr. Baker while the
heavy equipment was in midstream.
