SAILORS FOUND REST ROOM
INVITING BUT NOT OPEN

Many of the sailors who were in the

room at Fourth and Main streets and
found it closed. That it was closed
is due to slight misunderstanding of

any shore leave for the sailors until
today. The rest room will be open,
however, for the remainder of the week,
beginning this morning.
There will be plenty Of writing ma

Endemic OF Measles.

In the community of Redwood
school measles have played havoc
with the Redwood school for the
time being. For some time the
disease has been manifest, but
only this week did the school
board think it proper to close the
school until after the Christmas
holidays. This was done after
the disease had broken out in
violent form and one death was
reported as result.
