PAYS $4,000 FOR BOOK
HENRY Il. HUNTINGTON GETS
FAMOUS GUTENBERG BIBLE.
First Book Ever Printed From Tyne.
and Was AuctiOned Last Week
at the Hoe Collection Sale.

First Book Ever Printed From TYNE.
and Was Auctioned Last Week
at the Hoe Collection Sale.
NEW YORK.-The first book ever
printed from movable type tonight
brought the highest price ever paid
for any book. The prize was the
Gutenberg Bible, the purchaser,
Henry E. Huntington of Los Angeles.
and the price $4,000.
The purchase was made at the
opening session of the sale of the
library of the late Robert Hoe, the
largest public auction sale of books
ever attempted. Experts have esti-
mated the collection to be worth
more than a million dollars, and
wealthy amateurs and dealers from
Europe have come to vie with the
American collectors in the bidding.
1t was eveident from the progress of
the sale that American bidders were
taking the cream of the offerings at
prices averaging higher than any ev-
er offered at a public book auction.
The highest price previously paid
for the Gutenberg Bible was $2O,-
900, at which Bernard Quatrich pur-
chased it in England fourteen years
ago. At a private sale he disposed
of it shortly afterward to Mr.. Hoe
at profit of $4,000, and it has re-
NAMED in the Hoe collection ever
since. The copy was printed some
time between 1850 and 1855.
Bidding for the treasured book
was spirited, with Bernard Quatrich.
son of the former owner, participate
ing until the bids passed the S21,-
600 mark. From there it Jumped
by thousands at a clip to $4,000.
At $4,000 P. A. B. Widener of Phil
adelphia, who had been the most de-
termined of the runners up, dropped
out of the race, and the even $4,000
was bid by Mr.. Huntington. The win
ner is a son of the late Coils P.
Huntington.

CIVIC IMPROVEMENT CLUB IN
AUGURATES A CAMPAIGN FOR
CLEANLINESS AND BEAUTY.
FRIDAY, MAY 9Th, THE DAY


Pound of Cure" and 1t Is Cheaper
to Clean Up the Town Than to Pay
Doctor Bills. A Committee Named
for Each Street in the City.
Filth, flies and fever!
Unpleasant subjects? Yes.
But one follows naturally in the
train of the other, and we might as
well look the disturbing fact square
ly in the face.
AS humiliating as it is to our city
pride we are all forced to admit that
Dawson is very dirty town. The fra
GRANGE of many beautiful flowers is
waited on every breeze, but mingled
with it are unmistakable odors that
suggest fever and other ills that can
be traced to unsanitary conditions.
Garbage heaps and pyramids OF
TIN cans mar the view in many places
where grass and flowers would beau
tlfy If given chance. We blush to
make public such conditions, but to
cure a fostering sore it is necessary
TO probe deep and lay bare the troub-
lie. The smallest child should under
stand that decaying matter is a seri-
Gus menace to health. The doctors
tell us that sound minds can only ex-
list in sound bodies, and we all know
mat sound bodies are impossible in
an atmosphere reeking with disease
germs.
There was never better time than
right now to begin working for a
cleaner Dawson. Hot weather is
coming on, and there is not mo-
ment to lose if we would get the best
results. Filth holds out standing
invitation to the death-dealing house
lily, and there is no telling how many
fever germs these little insects can
scatter in very short time. The
advantages of a cleaner town are
100 obvious to require comment. Just
at this time it is of paramount i'm
portance.
Realizing these facts the thirty wo-
men composing the Wednesday AT
ternOon Club have been impressed
mat they can be of real service to
Jnls community by inaugurating a
toWn-wide cleanup day. Timely and
practical" is the opinion of all who
have been approached on the sub
lect, so these home-makers look con-
hdently to the citizens for the help
and consideration which they feel
they have right to claim in their
efforts to raise the standard of home
life Loyalty to Dawson should
prompt everyone to fall in line for
the City Beautiful. A good citizen is
not free to debate whether a thing

the economy experts pruned down
the house payroll.
Representative Cox of Indiana pro-
posed to cut the mileage allowance
for congressman from 10 cents to
cents a mile, but his plan met with
no warmth of welcome and was ruled
out of order.
Representative Garrett of Tonnes
see urged Mr.. Cox not to make the
motion now, when we all need the
money" but to make it at the next
session.
The house passed bills to pay
100000 in mileage to members of
the house and senate and to provide
for pages, extra employees and sta
tionery and printing of speeches for
the individual members.

CONGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE.
Brantley Hopes Congress Will Allow
Georgia Time to Re-District.

Georgia Time to Re-District.
A Washington dispatch says: Con-
gresham Brantley said today that
he would use his best efforts to get
the reapportionment bill passed i'm
mediately. He fears that considera-
BILE time may be lost in the senate,
as that body shows no disposition to
hurry legislation.
Mr.. Brantley believes it may be-
possible that unless quick action ia
had in this matter it may be necessa-
ry for the Georgia legislature either
to meen in extra session to re-dis-
trict the state or make provision for
a congressman at large. This may
all be avoided, however, by prompt
action here.

Mr.. Donnelly and his brother-in-

each time the higher courts reversed
the judgment. Mr.. Donnelly has

his share of what was left came to
