for Filing Purposes.

for Filing Purposes.
That an addition to the county
clerks vault at the court house is a
fact that all who use the vault have
knowledge of. The urgent need Of
more room was brought up in an of
ficial way at the meeting of the board
of freeholders on Wednesday. Free
holder Edward d. Neighbour called
the attention of the board to the
necessity of building an addition to
the vault when he handed in his
recommendation for next years APP
preparation for permanent improve
ment to the court house and jail.
County Clerk E. Bertram Mott says
that at this time al the available
space in the present vault has been
utilized and there is no more room
for storing books and other records.
He suggests the demo ition of the
barn on the Western avenue front
age of the court house and the build
ing of the vault out to Western av-
enue with an entrance from that
thoroughfare 1t is estimated that
about 100000 will be needed for the
purpose. The matter will probably
be bro9ght to the attention of the
new board of freeholders that takes
office JANUARY list and an appropria-
tion asked for.

Meanwhile our magistrate governs

danger here is that in this uncertain
state there may be local disorders,
due to bandits, which are too serious

The greatest anxiety was that the
railway might be torn up and trains
stopped and then it would be impos-
sible to take our families down that
way. 1t would be very trying and
perhaps dangerous task to take so
many little children down overland
and perhaps almost as bad to go by
boat. So two days ago 1t was decided
that the mothers and children should
go to Shanghai. 1t seemed best for
me to stay If possible as the hospital
is very busy and it would cause great
alarm If it was closed. The Misses
Murdoch did not want to go for the
same reason. The men of the sta
ton refused to take the responsibility
of advising their staying, but we did
not strongly urge their going as we
felt that it would be far easier for
them to get out with our help in
case of difficulty than for mothers
and little children. They can ride

could get down to the Yangtsge in
