Promise Libby
Hatchery New
Rearing Pools
Game Commission to Build
Four Cement Pools Which
Will Replace Dirt Pools
SPORTSMEN UNITE TO
SUPPORT HATCHERY
What can be accomplished by the
Chamber of Commerce and The Rod
& Gun Club working together was
ably shown last week when the
Libby Hatchery was promised new
cement rearing ponds by the state
game & fish commission.
Realizing the need of these im
provements on the present hatch
ery, Game Commisisoner Boyes
called a meeting May 9, of Libby
sportsmen at which A. G. Stubble
field, superintendent of state fish
hatcheries, and Department Engin
eer Dalton, Helena, were present.
The matter of the new cement rear
ing ponds to replace the present
unsanitary and costly dirt ponds
was discussed and ail agreed the
improvement to be the needed solu
tion to the present difficulties in
fish culture at the hatchery.
Some delay has been experienced
in getting action by the department
on the improvements but at the
open meeting of the commission
called by Governor John Bonner
for August 10-11, the local hatchery's
interests were well represented by
President John Horn of the Libby |
Rod & Gun Club, and Superinten
dent O. Lloyd Gillespie, represent
ing the Libby Chamber. These
men so ably backed the requests of
Commissioner Boves for the im
provements that the commission
saw the wisdom of the proposition
and took favorable action on the
same.
According to the present set-up,
advertisements for bids on the
work will appear in the near fu
ture, and the work will be done if
possible this fall. It provides for
replacing the present dirt ponds
with four 10' x 100' cement ponds,
using the present ponds' site to
save excavation costs. The new
ponds will turn out many times
more healthy fish than present
facilities are capable of producing
and is just what Sup't Stubblefield
agreed last May with Commissioner
Boyes, Hatchery Foreman John
Sheehan and the Libby sportsmen,
is needed to put the Libby Fish
top pro
duction of fish.
The Western News feels that con
gratulations are due the Libby
Chamber, the Libby Rod & Gun
Club and Commissioner Boyes for
their success in obtaining this
needed improvement.
Designer of Libby
Bridge Won Honors
A letter written by Governor
John W. Bonner on August 10, to
Mrs. Lou M. Joughin of this city,
gives promise of a distinctive bridge
design for the new bridge which
will cross the Kootenai at Libby.
The letter follows;
Accept my thanks for your let
ter of August 8, urging that the
bridge to be built across the Koo
tenai River at Libby be a distinc
tive and beautiful span. I want to
assure you that the Engineering De
parment of the State Highway has
personal charge in designing this
structure and that the utmost con
sideration is being given to it. As
a matter of fact, the designing en
gineer is William Jones who won
a national prize in 1933 for a bridge
which he designed at Belton. Of
course, primary consideration must
be given to the bridge's strength
and its ability to carry heavy traf
fic, but I am certain that the en
gineer will also produce a very nice
appearing structure.
Thank you very much for your
interes t in this matter.

Burning Index
Critical High
Over Forest
Danger Most Acute in 19
Years; Check of Safety
Conditions Made Daily
REPORT FOUR SMALL
FIRES YESTERDAY
Critical burning conditions exist
in the Kootenai, forest officials re
ported yesterday, as the burning;
index rose to a 58 average through
out the area. The outlook is for the
index to remain at the critical point
during the next several days, unless
there is a definite break in the
weather. With the reading of 58,
burning conditions in the forest
have reached their highest peak In
ten years, officials stated.
The science of determining this
burning index involves primarily
moisture, measured by weighing a
half inch stick, and wind velocity.
Time of year and humidity
modifiers of these elements.
Special half inch sticks of
are
pine
sap wood are used to measure the
moisture. These sticks are cali
brated by the Northern Rocky
Mountain Experiment Station for a
period of twelve months before they
are sent to ranger stations in forests
throughout the country. The cali
brating process furnishes a stand
ardized measuring stick. Thus a
treated stick us e d any place
throughout the country will absorb
the same amount of moisture under
the same conditions
These measuring sticks are used
at a high and low station in each
district. Kept outside, their
tu re absorption
afternoon at 4;30.|
along with wind velocity from each
district is sent to the Kootenai head
quarters here in Libby where they
are averaged and a burning index
for the entire forest is established
daily.
The index is a scale ranging from
to 100. At 0 to 35, burning con
ditions are not serious; from 35 to
55 they have reached the danger
class; and at 55 on up is the critical
level. When the index reaches 70
conditions are at the blow-up stage.
Should fire break out then it is
almost uncontrolable. At this point
the forestry automatically mobilizes
fire fighting crews.
Two hang-over fires were re
ported Monday in the Kootenai.
