Editor Virginian;
In your brief editorial Of January
/. recording the deaths OF a few
eminent men IN 1915. II IS rather
odd that you omit the names OF two
men. who in contributions 10 modern
thought belong TO a distinctly higher
class than any of those whose names
are mentioned. These two men. OF
course, are Ellie MetchnIkoff. head OF
the Pssteur Institute in Paris. and
Sir William Ramsay. OF England.
Possibly neither Metchnikon "a hi
ologist and investigator in immunity
nor Ramsay as chemist and discover

SHAFT. ON THE PATHFINDER
Building of a Mill Will Follow
on the 20 Acres Held by
This Company

A shaft is being sunk and
mill will be erected on the 20
acres southwest of BaxterSprings,
in the St. Louis district, which is
held by the Pathfinder mining
company. The capacity of the
mill is planned to be $50 tons.
This tract of land has been
thoroughly prospected. Excellent
ore bodies have been found in IA
holes running from 110 to 1870
feet. The hole, where the shaft
is going down, showed ore at the
112 foot level. A second shaft
will be sunk at the same time
the mill is under construction.

COUNCIL GRANTS
WATER FRANCHISE
Authorizes Lateral Sewers aud
Discusses Street Paving and
Other Important Civic
Improvements.

The ordinance authorizing the
main sewer system passed last
week by the city council, was
followed at the Tuesday night
meeting by another ordinance
ordering in the lateral lines. 1t
went through on unanimous vote.
This work practically completes
the legal steps to be taken, be-
fore bonds can be offered for sale.
and contracts let for the building
of the sewers. The next step to
be taken by the council will
probably be to authorize the is
suance of bonds in sum suffic-
lent to. build the trunk line ew-
ers. This is estimated to cost.
100000, all of which must be
paid by the city as a whole, or
such part of the city as has been
included in the sewer district. A
city may issue bends for sew
purposes without the vote of the
people. The plans and specifi-
cations are now ready for the in
spection of contractors.
The council passed another Or
dinance granting a water fran
chise to Messrs. J. H. Havens
and j. G. Stevens, both recent
comers to Baxter Spsings. The
franchise is the Foshay instru-
ment with a number of changes
made to more closely protect the
interests of the city. 1t is under
stood that the grantees have not
yet accepted the franchise but
are likely to do so within the pre-
scribed period. The plan of the
new company is to buy out the
plant now in operation and en-
large and improve it to meet the
demands of the city.

LAST CHANCE To

We Must Prove Our Loyalty
by Giving Drafted Boys
a Banquet and a,Big

Several boys from the Baxter
community have already gone to
war without the slightest demon
stration on the part OF the pub
lie, although in almost every
other city and village the people
have held rousing meetings to
show their appreciation Of the
sacrifice these boys are making
and to give them parting words
of cheer as they leave their home
town and friends.
A dozen or more Young men,
whose names are mentioned else
where, received orders this week
to be ready to report on "a hours
notice. they will likely have to
leave before October 5.
Is Baxter Springs going to do
the right thing and get up a big
reception and supper for these
fellow townsmen? We are sure
our people are fully as apprecl-
ative and fully as loyal as people
elsewhere in the country. There
appears to be the need Of some
one to start the affair off, and Tor
that reason The News his taken
it upon itself to urge the people
To get busy and raise a small sum
for a banquet for the boys and
also to plan a big gathering after
the supper. Do this to let the
boys know that we are with them
and let all the people get ac-
quainted with the men who are
going away to a foreign land to
protect our homes against the
German terror.
Who will? Don't wait. Now
or not at all. If you are willing
to do your part, come into the
News office today and help to ar
range for a meeting to get the
work under way at once.

Explosion Ininres Two

The explosion of a drill rig
boiler near the Blue Noun S,
west of Baxter Springs, last
Friday, burned seriously Frank
Congdon and Otis Easley of this
city.
Congdon and Easley were
working around the drill rig
when the explosion occurred and
it is said that the accident was
due to effectiveness in the boiler,
for Congdon had remarked a day
before that he was afraid that
the boiler would explode some
day.
Congdon was burned from his
breast down almost to his knees
and Easley's face was pitted
with cinders and burned very
badly. The injury is not fatal it
is said. Congdon is only II
years old and Easley 81 and is
married. The former was taken
to his home while the latter was
transferred to st. Johns hospital
in Joplin. Both are getting
along nicely.
