 Among some navy men there was clear evidence of anger over what they regarded as this dis courtesy to the admiral.
 There was also no word as to who will succeed Denfeld in the top navy post, or as to what du- ties may be offered to Denfeld.
 Charles G. Ross, Presidential press secretary, told a news con- ference he had no information on that.
 Ross also said, in reply to a question, that the White House had received no messages over night protesting Denfeld's remov- al.
 Denfield'S aides said that at least 1,500 telegrams had arrived by this morning for, him; but that the admiral had not had a chance to read them. Telephone lines into his office were jammed with in coming calls, they said.
 When Denfeld arrived at his of flee, a Marine sentry told him that a number of men were outside ito pay their respects"
 Denfeld told the sentry to let them in.
 The door opened and the 250 sailors in their blue uniforms be- gan filing in, finally packing the large room.
 A spokesman for the group told Denfeld:
 Admiral, when you are Presi- dent we hope you will put the navy back on its feet"

 A. Polet reported on the tourist committee that estimated thou sands were turned away from Alaska for want of transportation and hotel accommodation and hundreds were turned away from Nome last summer.
 He proposed that winter tour ists be encouraged and program be set up fo rthem as it would be most beneficial to the economy of the country, and Alaska has much to offer tourists in the winter com parable to Switzerland and the Scandinavian countries.
 A committee has been organ ized to work with him on laying out an extensive program, they are Joe Wallace, Keith Hedreen, L. MacAllister, Bill Woods, Dick CornWel, Lester Bronson and Tom Martin.
 Ed Kling told of the possibility of a reindeer racing set-up sim liar to the Irish Sweepstakes which would make Nome the center of attraction the world over.
 Hopkins of the U. s. Geological Survey stated that he saw no req son why Nome should not be the number one spot in Alaska for tourists as it has so much to offer and he gave several suggestions on the subject from the viewpoint of potential tourist.
 Ted Duffield reported on his study of the Alaska Development Corp. as proposed by the depart ment of the interior and stated that in his opinion the passage of such a bill would be most detri- mental to private industry and de- velopment of the Territory.
 However, he also stated that the proposed billion dollars for the enterprises should be sought for the various necessary projects such as water power, etc, to be administered through loans to in- dividuals and Alaskan companies at low intertst rates. This would be more directly beneficial to the people of the Territory.

Doe Quota Is
Now Nearly
Reached

A total of 2,038 hunters had been
checked into the Fisher River and
Wolf creek drainage area up to
Monday evening. At that time 1868
does and fawns, 81 bucks, and 8
black bear had been reported.
Following is a station by station
report covering the same area as
totaled in the foregoing. These fig
ures are for the season up to Mon
day evening.
Brush creek station:-7l does and
fawns, S bucks, and 425 hunters.
Waylett's checking station-69
does and fawns, l3 bucks, and 6l3
hunters.
Pleasant Valley station-223 does
and fawns, 36 bucks, 3 black bear,
1000 hunters.
The courtesy and cooperation of
the hunters has been exceptionally
good and has been appreciated by
local representatives of the State
Fish and Game department.
Roads are extremely slippery now
and special caution should be used.
Especially is this true of the Fisher
river road.
If hunter success continues at
above rate, the doe season may be
closed after the coming week end,
according to department officials,
Schmautz and Fish. AS previously
stated, it will be closed upon three
day public notice when the 500 does
and fawns are taken.
It might be of interest to the local
hunters to know that l9 of the deer
killed have been mule deer.
Mr.. Fish also reminds again that
all hunters keep in mind that any
tagged deer be reported; as to when,
where, what, and tag number taken;
to the Fish and Game department
in the Forestry Building, or
to your local game warden.

TRAINS NOS. 3 AND 4
NOW STOP AT LIBBY

The Libby Chamber of Commerce
was informed this week by E. M.
Boyes,s Great Northern station
agent, that trains Nos 3 and will
hereafter make regular stops in
Libby; No. 3, westbound, at 5:57
p. m, and No. 4, eastbound, at los
p. m.
These trains have been listed to
stop on flag but it is said they have
never failed to stop at Libby in the
past II years. To correct this flag
stop" arrangement is something the
c. of c. and Postmaster DeRosia
have been working on for some
time.
The new arrangement will result
in a great convenience in many ways
from the standpoint of those travel
ing and in receiving and sending
mail. Heretofore parcel post mail
was dropped off at Troy and brought
to Libby on a later train. A sim
liar condition existed in respect to
mail for all of eastern Montana east
of Whitefish. Parcel post mail will
now come direct TO Libby on these
trains without the dropping of and
picking up procedure. Passengers
have frequently been discommoded
in thinking that these trains did
not stop at Libby.

Libby Loses to
Poison, 20-6

The Poison Pirates came sailing
down upon the Libby Terriers in
the homecoming game in Libby last
Friday, and forced the Terriers to
walk the plank to the tune of 20 to s.
The Pirates were just too much
for the fighting Terriers, although
it was nip and tuck throughout the
first half, neither team scoring in
the first quarter. In the second
quarter, Poison was able to open a
hole through Libby's left tackle that
frigate could have sailed through
and a Pirate went galloping to a
touchdown with marry a hand laid
on him. Conversion for extra point
was good; score to 0 for the Pirates.
Shortly thereafter the Terriers
we're also able to score when Vol
Remand took high pass from Gompf
and, shaking of pursuers, ran 20 or
more yards to pay territory stand
ing up. Conversion failed; score
7-6 favor Pirates.
In the second half the Pirates ap-
parently gained in proweSs while
the Terriers were unable to make
much progress. The visitors were
able to score twice, largely through
successful passes. Their final touch
down was made within the last few
minutes of play, with the game end.

Plans for the 43rd annual Christ
mas Seal Sale of the Montana
tuberculosis association, which win
be held from November 81 90
Christmas, are already of to a good
start in Lincoln county.
Libby Woman's Club will spOn-
sor the sale in Lincoln county and
Mrs. Fred Robertson will be county
chairman. At the last club meeting
the members willingly offered %
help in the mailing of letters whieh
are sent out each year. Mrs. Nd
Driear, Club president, will appoint
additional committees as they are
needed.
Mrs. Luvia Craven, Mrs. Harold
Thomson and Mrs. Fred Currie have
started work on the mailing list
file bringing it up TO date.
Lincoln county residents felt for
tunate last year to have the Mobile
Unit spend several days in this Sec
ton. During the SIS hours the unit
operated in Libby, Troy and Eur
eka, they examined 2,723 persons
which was thought to be about 38%
of the eligible population as child
rem under II are not X-rayed by
this unit. Findings showed that
there were II cases moderately ad-
vanced and two were far advanced.
In addition to tuberculosis there
were conditions such as cardiac,
aorta and others found in 80 cases
and these were referred to their
family physician. In the follow UP
work it was found that most Of the
cases we're inactive but a comment
at the end of the report for Lincoln
County stated: These observations
would indicate that although Lin
coin county had few recorded deaths
from tuberculosis among the resi-
dents, this chest survey revealed
more than twice as many cases per
thousand examined than the aver
age for the state. This would in
dicate that there is a very definite
problem among the
residents of this county and there
is need for a continued case find
