Library Board Organizes.

Judging from the manifestations of
interest being displayed the prospects
look bright for Princeton's soon hav-
ing a public library.
So many towns of the size Of Prince
ton are conducting successful libra
ries that it would seem that it ought
not to be an insurmountable task for
our town to do So also. ~
The libraries heretofore started in
our midst, which have all resulted in
failures, have done so because they
were not started on the proper basis.
The universally successful library
is the public or municipal library,
formed and managed under the pre-
scribed laws Of the state, and that is
the kind in the forming at present
here in Princeton.
The village council took the first
step in the right direction when it
appointed a library board. At the
last regular meeting it appointed the
following to serve on said board: Mrs.
E. K. Evens, Mrs. Ewing and DR.. H.
c. Cooney for one year; DR.. D. A. Nc
Rae, Mrs. Fred Keith and w. C. Doane
for two years; Mrs. J. F. Peterson,
H. A. Garrison and Mrs. Cowles for
three years.
Last Saturday evening all these
named, with the exception Of Mrs.
Cowles, who is not at present in town,
met at DR.. Cooney's office for the pur-
pose of organizing.
Mr.. Doane, who was chosen tenn
porary chairman, first read the state
laws in order that the organizing
should be along the right lines, after
which DR.. McRae was chosen presi-
dent and Mr.. Garrison secretary of the
board. The board fixed the secretary's
bond at $4,000. 49,.
Ways and means Of getting libra
ry properly established were dis
cussed at length and committees were
appointed to look after the different
branches of work to be accomplished
before a library can be established,
after which the meeting adjourned.
Everyone is requested to bear in
mind that the library board must
have the support of the whole COM
munity to make success of the work
attempted.

The Bows Earned It.

The bill allowing our guardsmen
fifty cents per day in addition to their
federal pay meets with little opposi-
ton, although it takes 100000 from
the state treasury. The boys certainly
earned it, and Minnesota now has the
nucleus for dozen fighting regiments
on short notice. Hastings Gazette. .

ICES the business of the tonnage tax
bill and the. demands of his constitu-
ency for legislation along that line.
AS for his desertion Of the newspaper
boys, you will find that when the ses-
sion is over Bob Dunn's votes will
have been recorded on the right side
of the ledger on all measures that are
for the benefit Of the country press.
One Of the best bills introduced at
this session, which would make vari-
GUS town publications compulsory, has
been introduced and is championed by
the "sage of Princeton" Bob Dunn
is not only one of the ablest and fair
est newspaper boys of Minnesota, but
he is likewise one of the squarest men
now representing the people Of Min
nesota in the halls of our legislature.
* * * ..-
The bill providing for the publica-
ton of the session laws and constitu-
tional amendments in pamphlet form
came up on general orders in the SEN
ate this afternoon. Senators Gandrud,
Peterson and Ward talked against it.
Senator Vibert, himself newspaper
man, was presiding, and on a motion
to indefinitely postpone the bill he
made quick ruling that the motion
was carried. Now I hope that the
newspaper fraternity will rest easy,
as the bill is dead beyond the hope of
resurrection for this session.
* * *
Two weeks from tomorrow the
fortieth session of the Minnesota legis-
lature will adjourn sine die. There is a
big grist of bills to be acted upon in
both houses, and if majority of them
never grace the statute books of the
state no great harm will result. But
there are some measures of impor-
tance that ought to be enacted into
laws. Some time ago I thought the
state tax levy would not be increased
but I have changed my mind. If the
needed appropriations are granted
there must of necessity be an increase
in the state tax levy. R. c. D.

AMERICAN EFFICIENCY.

German efficiency has been held up as a degree of excellece unattainable by a democracy. The accomplishments of the United States since April 5th last seem to refute the truth of the claim. In the short space of time since that day the Unit ed States has accomplished the following:
 Declared a state of war as ex- isting between this country and Germany.
 Seized 91 German ships and begun repair work on them.
 Authorized unanimously a war fund of $7, ,OOO, 100000.
 Appropriated $500, 100000 for merchant shipping and as much for air fleets.
 Agreed to loan our allies $3, GOO, 100000, and advanced them a large proportion of that sum.
 Passed a selective draft law, and Tn single day registered nearly ten million men for militia ry service.
The border vidette., 1917-08-11

Enlisted 6OO,OOO volunteer soldiers in the regular army and the National Guard of the States.
 Sent commission to Russia to aid democracy there and a body of railroad men to Russia and another to France to advise and assist in railroad transporta- tion in those countries.
 Begun the construction of 32 camps for our soldiers.
 Sent to England a fleet of de- stroyers and to France a detach- ment of troops.
 Authorized and now enforcing embargo whereby our enemies will receive no more food or material from us.
 Passed food conservation law.
 Organized many volunteer commissions and boards which are aiding the government and the people in speeding up the work, conservation of food, and other national movements.
 Drafted by lot 687 ,OOO men for military service.
 While the Government was accomplishing these things the American people have loaned the United States two billion dollars and offered billion more, over four million citizens subscribing GO the loan. In ad- dition they have given over $1OO, ,OOO,O GOO to the Ameri- can Red Cross and $3 ,OOO, ,OOO to the Young Mems Christian as 
 All these things were accom- plished while our soil was not or even threatened with and without any dis

WHAT IS GOOD GASOLINE ?

In an article, dealing with the Bureau of Mines tentative gaso line specifications. Oildom for March, 1917, says: Tn these specifications gravity is omitted en ntirely as a basis for test, vola- tility being the basic property for determining the grade and usefulness of gasoline.
 Volatility is just another term for boiling points," said MT. J. B. Balsley. district sales manager of Standard Oil Com pany, in discussing these pro- posed specifications.
 Motor fuel efficiency depends on the boiling points or volatil ity of gasoline, just as the Blu reau of Mines indicated. These boiling points must be in a con- tinuouS chain, an unbroken, gradually rising Series--low boil ing points for easy starting, me dium boiling points for quick and smooth acceleratiou, high boiling points for power and mileage.
 Needless to say, gasoline hav- ing this correct series of boiling points cannot be made by mix ing or blending. There are too many intermediate points to be provided to make the unbroken chain. On the other hand, in straight refinery gasoline, the continuous chain of boiling points is developed naturally during diStillatiOn.

ToMesTonE--NoeALEs.

The suggestion that the state highway be changed SO that one line goes to Nogales from Tomb stone and the other to Vail through Benson, is a mighty good business proposition in view of the fact that it would materially aid the proposed mili- tary highway by taking in Doug las, Bisbee, Tombstone, Fair bank, Elgin and Patagonia to NOgales; then up to Tucson and make the distance six miles shorter ard cut out the bugaboo of the Empire Ranch.
 The distance to Tucson would alone be shortened twelve miles and serve the localities of Curtis St. David and Benson and the Robinson tPomerene] district.
 This idea has the original en- dorsement of Lamar Cobb, pre- decessor of Tom Maddock, state engineer, and it is also said to have the endorsement of MT. Maddock.
 Both routes would then avoid the almost impossible Empire Ranch, where one is lost to all in the way of The Tombstone Pros pector.

A WAR IN EARNEST.

1T hope none of you think that this war into which we have entered is going to be either short or cheap or bloodless, or that we are facing an exhausted enemy; that is not the way we feel here about it. The spirit in which we look at it is as if we stood alone against our antag- onist at his best. No other way Is safe; from our point of view, no other way is possible.
 Now that means sacrifice for US all. Ten Cabinet boys are on the job now, in either the army or navy; we have tried to do our share. It means that we have got to pay taxes; we have got to take up loans-not one, nor two nor three nor four, perhaps please do not feel as if two thousand million dollars was a very enormous contri button to- ward this job. It may be only the beginning; it is certainly on- ly the beginning, so far as we can now forsee. Do not let us treat it as if that would put an end to it. Seven thousand mil lion is a big sum but it may have to come once and again. Let us hope it may not have to come a third time. Two millions of men are a good many, but they may not be enough, there may be

The Value of Army Training.

l Much of the diversion to the
 draft which was manifested ir the early days of the call was
 due to a misconception rof the
 nature of military life and the
 hardships it entails.
 Few men are towards, but al
 men like comfort To one com fort may mean a town house and
 a country house, a flock of motor
 cars and a yacht. To another
 a tenement room opening on a
 fire eacape, and on the shad y
 side of the street. The one is
 as loath to exchange his com
 forts for the problematical hard
 ships of the camp and the trench
 as the other.
 That it is dread of the loss of liberty. the rigors of discipline,
 the life by command and by rule, and the petty diScomforts of the camp rather than the actual or deal of battle that deters men from the enlistment is shown by the fact that voluntary recruit ing always swells with the pro bability of active Servlce. The assertion that the marines are always the first to fight" has been the most effective enlisting slogan of the whole recruiting period.
 Had the youth of our land en- joyed the advantages of compul sorry and universal military train ing there would be manifest to- day none of this reluctance to enlistment which appears in many quarters. Young men would know that the process of making a soldier results in the making of @ mana man sound in mind and body, trained to meet emergencies, to face peril unfiinchingiy, to obey orders and to carry himself intelligent ly and resourcefully when no orders are forthcoming. The trained mind will be backed by a sound body. The weddings of our city streets are built up to manhood by the physical ex ercise which comes with the months of preliminary training. Our slouching farm hands will be transformed into erect and commanding figures of men. No man ever enjoyed the advantages of military training - even though forced upon him-and regretted it. What it has done for the cockneys of London has been the marvel of all England.
 Had we begun at least three %1 the youth of our land we should have had now the nucleus of an army trained in body and mind for war. Much of the scandal attending the present rush for exemptions would have been averted But while we have wasted valuable years the time to take up universal train ing is here and now.-Tucson Citizen.

ORE OF GOOD GRADE

Billy Dwyer, who has been in

Fay, where he reports there is quite
a little mining activity at the present
time. The camp. he says, is show
ing more life right now than it has
for many moons.

Short is back on the job after hav-
ing been away for a number of

that property in the producing class

recently acquired the interests in
the property formerly owned by
John Dern and others of Salt Lake.
New equipment is being hauled in
and everything indicates that Gold
Springs is going to come back.
At Stateline, also, a good deal of
interest is being revived in the
mines of that camp and more men
are employed there than for sew
eral years.-Pioche Record.

COLO MOUNTAIN
COMPANY MEETS
PROPERTY NEAR HORNSILVER
HAS QUANTITIES OF ORE
IN SIGHT

At a meeting of stockholders of
the Gold Mountain Mining and Mill
ing company, held in Goldfield dur
ing the week, Nicholas p. Thee was
elected president of the company,
Adams f. Brown vice president and
Jacob w. Davis secretary and treas
urer.
The company owns seven claims
in the Hornsilver district, situated
about two miles southeast of the
townsite, and a large tonnage of eX-
cellent milling ore has beer exposed
on the property. A considerable
amount of development work was
performed last year, adding mate
rally to the volume of ore in
sight. There are two shafts on the
property that are about 800 feet
deep, with another shaft of less
depth and approximately 1900 feet
of lateral development work.
