Merciful Rest

The season of Thanksgiving is
upon us. 1t is an American insti-
tuition, originating in a desire to
give thanks for good health and
good crops in new country. What
the Pilgrim Fathers began, sue
ceeding generations have honored.
To take care of those unable, ply
sically and financially, to care for
themselves is distinctly and emil
nently American.
Will YOU help take care OF the
incurables of our state by con-
tributing to the $4,000 endoW-
ment fund for the Home of Mercl-
full Rest, Union street and Lever
ing Ave-, Wilmington? In the home
are 16 patients, two blind, all
crippled in body and limb, and
none of them able to walk out OF
their rooms. They require the
services of physician and a train
ed nurses, and besides this they
are provided with comfortable
cheerful home, overlooking sun
ny garden on one side and the
Park Drive on the other. These
who live there will be comfortable
and happy in mind, when they
know that the income to MAINTAIN
their home is assured.
During more than 20 years o.
existence the management has de
beaded on private sources Tor sup
mort. and there is now imperatlv'
need for a fund that will lnsuf'

LOCAL ITEMS.

There is quite an argument going the rounds upon whether or not the recording of assessment work is re- ally compulsory. Under the Alaska law the failure to record assess ment work is considered equivalent to an abandonment of the ground. Come now the legal sharks who de- clare that this clause in the Alaska mining law contravenes the letter of the United States statutes, and is therefore invalid and not binding. This is a dangerous view for any claim holder to follow, pending a court decision. It has to be pointed out that other states contain clauses compelling the recording of assess ment work in their mining laws: Co., lorado d' for example or California. Any person failing to record assess ment work on mere hearsay argu- ment would be jeopardizing their holdings needlessly, to say the least. especially if those are any actual worth. It is noticeable that all the larger concerns are taking no chan ces, and are duly recording the per- formance of their assessment work.
