Co S office supply business and are
opening a downtown floral shop

ago. Mr. Winfrey was telegraph
operator for Is years during which
time he worked in Oklahoma and
Kansas for the M. K & T., in Wyo-
ming for the Burlington Lines, and
in this section with the Great North
ern. His health necessitated his
leaving the railroad employ and
since that time the family has been
engaged in the greenhouse business
where they have enjoyed a steadily
growing trade.
During the time we have been in
business, stated Mr.. Winfrey, it has
been our determination to give the
public courteous, dependable SER
vice, and it is our desire to con-
tinue improving this service which
has prompted us to open our down
town shop. The greenhouse, he
added, will be open during the pre-
Christmas season, each evening I'M
til 1000 p. m.
The Winfreys state they do not
expect to be ready to give formal
opening this week on account of the
Hepners being unable to remove the
equipment in time, but
they will be open Saturday for bust
ness. Mrs. Winfrey will be in
charge of the shop while Mr.. Win
frey will divide his time between
the greenhouse and shop.

ZONOLlTE co. TESTS ORE CONVEYOR
LOADING BRIDGE ACROSS RIVER
FROM MOUTH OF RAINY CREEK

The first carload of ore from tn,
Zonolite Mine to cross the Kootena
on the new conveyor was loaded
Tuesday in a car on the Great
Northern tracks. This marks ar
epoch in local transportation for the
company, which loaded two more
cars yesterday.
All loading done to date is for
experimental purposes, for there is
much finishing work to be done
before the conveyor bridge is COM
pleted and ready for regular oper-
ations. The ore loaded yesterday
took about AS minutes per car,
capacity of a car being about 40
tons. When completed the equip
ment will move the ore at greater
speed.
AS stated in a previous article in
The Western News, the ore is
trucked to the river bank, dumped
into bins and conveyed across the
river on a conveyor belt to be I'M
loaded in railroad cars sitting on a
switch. All controls are in the con-
troll tower across the river by the
railroad, where the operator may
choose the bin with the type of
ore desired; set the scale for the
amount of tonnage wished, and the
equipment will do the rest of the
shutting off the flow of
ore when the required amount is
loaded. The distribution of ore in the
car is also easily controlled by the
operator. Cars for loading are auto
moved into position by
the operator from his tower.
The loading shed has six bins,
each with an approximate capacity
of 30 tons of ore

Board Assures
New Hospital

"A new hospital will be under
construction in Libby next spring
IS the assurance given the citizens
of South Lincoln County by the St
Johns Lutheran Hospital Board as
the Hospital Fund Drive nears COM
pletion. The public has already
raised $4,000 of which over 500, 500
is in cash and the balance in pledges.
Mr. Walter Neils, Chairman of the
Hospital Board, commented, II have
been advised of many instances of
sacrifices by persons giving dona-
tons so South Lincoln County may
have a good hospital. We are most
appreciatiVe of the fine contribu-
tions made by the many people of
Libby, Troy and rural areas. We
want to thank all who have donated,
and given their time and support
The Drive was a success and we
will have new hospital"
The present fund of the St. Johns
Lutheran Hospital, Inc, is $4,000.
This amount, with the fund raised
by the public is not enough to build
the proposed 29-bed brick hospital
without Federal Aid. According to
the Hospital Board the possibility of
obtaining Federal Aid is very en-
couraging. An application is being
prepared and will be submitted to
the State Board of Health. The
State Board is not now accepting
applications but will in the near flu
ture when approval of a State fund
is received from Washington, D. c.
When the State Board of Health
accepts and approves the applica-
ton for the Libby Hospital it will
then go to Washington for the final
decision.
AS a further explanation Mr..
Neils stated, IF Federal Aid can
not be obtained, we will probably |
plan on a smaller hospital"
