Roy Sims, a Willow City Boy, Writes
Interesting Letter.

The following letter, dated
at Callao, Peru, February %,
1908, was received this week by
Miss Maud Sims Of Willow
City from her brother Roy,
who is with the Evans fleet,
Roy is the son of Postmaster
F. Sims, and the letter will
doubtless prove of interest to
our readers. 1t follows:
We arrived here February
20 and expect to leave the Goth.
When we left Rio de Jam
eiro the governor received the
fleet, and as each ship passed
his yacht a salute of twenty -one
guns was fired from each ship.
We stopped five days in Punta
Arenas, Chile. We passed in
review at Valparaiso, Chile, and
as each ship passed the gov
ernor's yacht salute of
twenty-one guns was fired. /
never saw so many people in
one place as there were along
the shore when we came in
sight of the city. l didn't t
think that there were that many
people in South America.
The governor gave a bull
fight for the benefit of the men
and officers of the fleet. 1t
took place at Lima, the capital
of Peru. Two thousand men
and 600 officers were invited
and it was my good fortune to
be one of the lucky ones who
went. A train was waiting at
the dock when we arrived, and
took us to Lima. At the sta
ton we were met by a band of
forty pieces. We marched from
the station to the arena where
the fight took place. Two men
were killed and one wounded,
and the prettiest little iron
grey horse that l believe / ever
saw, was killed during the
fight. [ dom t think that [ care
to see any more such sport for
a while. One of the men was
thrown about fifteen feet in
the air and landed on the crit
ter's' horn and it went through
his body"

city on the part of increasing
numbers of the most desirable
class or citizens. If we can
have a tirst-class public library,
also, it will add another power
full cord to our drawing in
fluence. The cost of maintain
ing such library will be
putting the least money to
the largest use in promoting
our solid growth and develop
ment as community. This
will be plain to every thought
full mind.
A public library, as an in
tellectual rallying place for the
city, will promote the strongest.
unity and the highest fellow
ship. 1t will refine the quality
and increase the delight of
life. Good books are the best
of friends. They take us by
the hand and lead us into new
worlds of thought filled with
new visions of beauty and
fresh springs of inspiration.
A public library is a common
treasure house, offering equal
riches to all who will but
accept it's wealth more precious
than the gold of Ophir.
If we show the proper appre-
citation by offering to do our
part in sustaining it, there is
a prospect that Mr.. Carnegie
will furnish the building for
such library. Our city
council stands ready to fulfil
our will and establish library.
Less than one half of one per
cent is the largest tax our state
law will permit us to levy.
But that will be enough to
insure a library. Let us en-
power our council to proceed.
BY all means let US have
BOttineau at it's best.
A public library will put us
close to the goal.
Let us make it unanimous
next Monday at the polls.
