FORECAST FOR TO-DAY Snow and warmer. Friday: Fair.

With the emperatures steadily ris- ing, and snow already flying through the air, it is predicted that the back bone of the recent co1d-snap has been broken. A glance over the record dial of the Lyman recording. ther- Tnometer Main street, near State street show the surprising fact that although people shivered and explain ed how cold it has been, at no time since Sunday has the mercury been lower two degrees minus zero, and at times has registered above the freez- ing point of 32 degrees.
 The abatement of the cold weather last night and reduction of the wind, caused residents of this city to breath easier this morning. The poor and wanderer rejoiced in the prospect of being able to once more to. gain slls- tenance with greater ease, and the local raiser of poultry and eggs sought his coops in the hope that the feathered fowl had been fooled once more into contributing for the morn ing's table meal.
 Snow began this morning to fall with the prospect that it would con tinue we'll into the night, and while the railroad and trolley crews stood by in readiness to get aout the snow blows, the plum Der watching the mer- cury rise in the tube, assumed that he would soon have rest after several nights and days of continuous work.
 Like conditions existed in the outly- ing towns adjacent to Bridgeport, where the rivers have frozen over. and ice-cutting is expected to begin at any time. Several fires, believed to have been due to the care1essness of plumb CTS or those engaged in thawing out pipes have been recorded in this and adjoining towns.
 Along the waterfront, the tide was materially increased with the dying down of the wind and while large areas of the local harbor are covered with ice and foes, navigation is obstruct- ed. Vessels incoming report cold weather and heavy seas but no fa- talities or disaster.
 At the local charities department it was said by the head of the depart ment that cold weather conditions had increased materially the applications for coal, and that such sustenance as was applied for and found worthy was being offered. At the emergency hospital several applied for treatment to frost-bitten ears.

/. \. DAVIS PASSED
away ON FRIDAY

Word was received in the city this
morning Of the death of L. N. Davis of
Minot. He passed away at Chicago
but no details Of his death have yet

and favorably known in Valley City

C. Clark, and James Barclay Of this
city obtained the franchise at Minot

ORGANIZES BOYS CIVIC
IMPROVEMENT LEAGUE
OPPORTUNITY FOR GOOD WORN
AND aOYS TAKE HOLD WITH
A VIM.

Thomas Smith has conceived the
idea Of organizing Juvenile Leagues
for the purpose Of cleaning the yards
and streets which promises to be a
splendid thing for Valley City if he
receives the sU"Nort of the boys as he
expects to do. The plan is to organize
the boys of various city blocks, into
juvenile leagues, crd although the en-
terprse has only be run, two leagues
have been formed OF three boys in one
block ard two in another.
These boys have signified their will
ingness to do this civic work without
compensation and, have displayed
marked enthusiasm for the work, so
far. The idea is to clean up the yards,
pull weeds and to beautify the streets
and yards of Valley City generally,
also to maintain the same after they
have been cleaned up. Mr.. Smith
maintains that after the city is in
shape 80 far as the pulling of weeds
and cleaning of rubbish is concerned,
it will take only a small portion Of the
boys time once a week to maintain
the high standard of neatness.
Mr.. Smith states that he is positive
the boys are going 10 make big sue
cess of this work as they have taken
hold in a way highly satisfactory to
him and he hopes in the near future
with the help of the boys already en-
listed in the cause and those who will
become interested later to SHOW" the
people of Valley City what they can
do to make the town thing Of beau.
ty and a Joy forever"
