cap operation in the yard. Two
hundred men were put to work
this morning along the line be-
tween this city and Piedmont and
it is the plan to use large crews in
rushing the work through. A we'll
fenced right-of-way means no
danger of running over cattle and
stock and the fence like every
other part of the Iron Mountain is
being put in the very best of con-
dition.-PopIur Bluff Republican.
For the purpose of correcting
the impression that the Valley can
only take care of a limited number
of summer visitors, and to facili-
tate locating them upon their ar
rival, l request that those who are
in a position to accommodate peo-
pie through the summer write me
fully as to the following points:
1. Number that can be COM
fortably boarded.
2. Number you have at pres
ent.
3. Rates by the day, week and
month.
The idea is to give a copy of this
list to the proper official of the
Iron Mountain Railroad and to
send out in answer to all inquiries
of this nature that may be re-
ceived. In order that the list may
be kept up-to- date, it will be nee
essary to let me know by phone
or letter from time to time of any
vacancies, etc. A reply from all
interested will be appreciated.

The smallpox situation in Flat
River has improved to such an ex-
tent that the city authorities feel
warranted in removing next FRI
day at noon the restrictions against
public gatherings which were
prohibited by the mayors procla-
nation of June II. The County
Board met at Pennington We'd
nesday and removed the restric-
tions SO far as the rest of the coun-
ty is concerned, and unless a new
outbreak of the contagion should
make it's appearance affairs will
soon be in a normal condition.
Most of the smallpox patients in
Flat River have been released and
only a very few new cases have
been found during the past two
weeks. The diseases rapidly dis
appearing and the health officers
have little fears of another out
break, although they are taking
every possible precaution to pre-
vent any such recurrence. We
are glad of the opportunity of
again commencing and c%ongratu-
lating the local authorities upon
the efficient manner in which they
handled matters during the small
pox epidemic.-Ledd Belt NelUs.
Last Sunday about twenty st.
Louis newspaper men came down
on a special car to the Valley to
view the beauties thereof, arriving
at l P. NJ. 1t was a rainy day, al
together unpropitious to the out
ing, but the members of the Bust
ness Mems League met the visitors
at the Arcadia station, neverthe-
less, with covered rigs, and drove
them about the Valley. 1t was
seeking pleasure under difficulty,
and the prospect of mountain, vale
and plain was sadly obscured by
driving rain and gathering mist.
However, drives were made to the
Shut-In-but not through ito
the Pilot Knob Lake, and around
Shepherd Mountain. Then a view
of the Arcadia College grounds
took up the short remainder of the
afternoon. At five o'clock the
cry, "all aboard" gathered the
visitors into the car and in a few
moments they were on their way
homeward. AS their especial" in
cluded a ''diner," let us believe
that they made their return neither
dry-lipped nor a-hungered.
The Royal Neighbors of America
met for the first time in the [. o.
0. F. hall, Ironton, Mo-, June II,
1910, for the purpose of organizing
a camp with Mrs. Wendt, the
District Deputy and Supreme
Oracle, having secured the re-
CURED number of applicants. Of
ficers were elected and installed
and the camp named Arcadia VAL
ley Camp. Then we adjourned to
meet again in two weeks. Mean
while the District Deputy and Su-
preme Oracle went to Graniteville
and secured the sufficient number
to organize a camp there, and on
the 8th Of July the A. v. Camp
was invited to come and help or
ganize the camp there. We ac-
copied and a very enthusiastic
camp was organized. The A. v.
Camp met again in the l. o. O. F.
hall at Ironton, July 18th, 1910,
transacting all unfinished bust
ness, with Mrs. Wendt, the S. D.
& S. O., in charge, and itlwas de-
cided to meet every list and Sd
Tuesday afternoon at 2:30. After
which we had a delightful treat
and all the neighbors unite in
giving a vote of thanks to neigh
Dor Percy, our newly elected
Oracle. CAMP S.
