RED CROSS NOTES

The stay-at-home American cannot
realize what the Red Cross means
In This war. Just as 1t Is the worlds
most colossal struggle, enlisting more
millions and creating a wider havoc
than any other war, so are the de-
manGs for mercy greater than ever
before. Without the Red Cross war
could not be waged; certainly 1t
could not be won. 1t needs every
dollar that can be raised for 1t: ev-
cry bit of loyalty that can be mus
tered. No money expended in the
war reaps so rich a harvest of graf
itude and service.
Red Cross week affords every AM
erican an opportunity to give to his
country and his country's allies =
to do his utmost without thought of
return-that those who are suffer-
ing may be sustained to the victory
point. Let TO one be able to say
he did not give or did not give suf-
ficiently because lie had failed to un-
derstand the need.
No matter how many men are in
camp or in transit or in the trench
es, the protection of the Red Cross
must be with everyone from the
time he leaves home until he returns
or finds his grave on foreign soil.
When the boys come marching
home, can you look into their faces
If you recall that none of your dol
lars helped pave their way back?
Our soldiers give until it hurts.
You will hurt until you give.
During the enforced absence of the
chairman the work of the Chapter
was carried on most efficiently with
an increase Of output in every de-
partment, in addition to which a
splendid sum was raised for the pur-
chasing of materials for the contin-
uance of the work. The chairman
wishes to express her appreciation
to those who SO willingly assumed
the additional responsibilities. GIL.
pin county may we'll be proud of its
Red Cross organization and the com.
munity which SO loyalty supports 1t.

vivid Picture of the Red Cross in
action at the front. She explained
the composition OF base hosrital.un-

we learred that surgical teams are

CHILDREN DROWN
IN BLACK HAWK

Probably nothing ever occurred in
the annals Of Black Hawk history
that cast such pail of gloom over
that erstwhile happy city as the
death by drowning of Edith and
Guido Sualdi, about noon, Friday.
May 18th.
Those two unusually bright child
rem, aged 51s and Az years, of Mr..
and Mrs. Dominick Sualdi, while at
tempting to cross foot-bridge over
Clear Creek almost opposite the
home on Clear Creek street, acci-
IDENTIFY topI led in the stream. now
at flood-height, on account of spring
melting snow in the mountains.
The whole thing with regard to
facts is pure guess work Of course,
because no one saw the actual hap
pening. The foregoing, however,
may be deemed fairly true according
to the story told by little Melvin
Blake.
The three were playing in C. & S.
box cars at point frcm where the
Sualdi children vanished, when they
proposed to go home for some crack
ers, promising to return to the
Blake boy at once. In passing, how
strange it seems, that little brother
and sister seemed inseparable :
one never being seen on the street
without the other. The children not
returning to the car, the Blake boy
went home, and also to the Sualdi
home, to lock for his pals. They
were not there-had not come home.
Nearly every man in town was out
at once, searching along the creek
as far down as Smith hill. About
dark, Edith was found in a pool
near the old Eatwell mill. Search
was resumed the following morning
at dawn and Guido was found be-
low the Boulter dairy.
What gave particular pathos to
this sad affair, was the confinement
Of the mother-giving birth to son
about the time her other two little
darlings were swert to eternity.
The double funeral was handled
by Undertaken Hamllik Tuesday
morning at 9 o'clock. Appropriate
services were held at st. Mary's
Catholic church, Father Webber de-
livering a very impressive sermon
Tie mounds of beautiful floral offer
ings gave silent tribute to the high
regard in which the sorrowing fam
lily Is held.
Black Hawk school adjourned dur
ing the forenoon, all the pupils Wis
iting the home of bereavement in
the morning and many Of them at
tending the burial.
Black Hawk displayed true Christ
ian charity in the way automobiles
were furnished gratis for the occas-
ion.
A valuable lessen may be learned
from all Of this, by forbidding foot
bridges across the creeks within
town limits; also old mines should
be closed up as we'll as many pros
nect holes around the hills where
children roam, especially during va.
cation.

CASHIER WILL
CONTINUE WORK

VIM. Anger. superintendent Of the
Cashier Gold Mining g. Reduction
company, returned last Saturday ev-
ening from his trip east. While
away he visited Warren, Franklin
and Oil City, Pennsylvania, and
jamestown and Buffalo, New York.
and Niagara Falls.
At Warren he attended a direct
ors' meeting of the company and af
ter explaining conditions and the
future outlook fer the mine, they
unanimously voted to raise $50 900 to
be expended in sinking the shaft to
the 1900 with some other develop
ment work; also for the purpose of
making some changes in the mill.
Mr.. Anger was delighted with the
hearty welcome and royal entertain
ment he received from the Cashier
people.
The directors are displaying good
judgm ent in continuing to work the
mine considering that it has work
ed continually for the past sixteen
years and has produced grade Of
ore far above the average value.
Tie mine has paid over $1S5, 900 in
dividends to the stockholders. 1t is
learned from the superintendent that
there are at many points in the 100
good copper ore going down, thus
showing the wisdom of sinking the
shaft to a greater depth. If the
same careful management can be
maintained in the future as has been
evident in the past, there is great
future in store for the Cashier mines.
The new mill will, with but few ad-
justments, be a great factor in the
future success Of the property.
Mr.. Anger, upon his return to
Denver, purchased an American flag
70 fly from the topmost pinnacle of
the mill during the period of the
war, and as its silken folds unfuri
to the breeze win proclaim to the
world that not only the mine man
ager, but company and employees
are 1000 loyal to- the country that
allows them to extract the golden
treasure from mother earth for the
alleviation of the wants of mankind.

of $500, which he provided. Chassey

ED THIERING, ONCE OF KEUTER-

LOCAL BOARD
DENIED INDUCTION IN ARMY
VIII Be Held Behind Bars Pending
Action by U. s. Authorities
Pleads Ignorance.

Ed Thiering, an alleged Stacker, is
held in the county Jail, pending action
of federal authorities, for failure to
register for the selective draft. Thier-
ing, who is 2S years old, surrendered
to the local daft board Tuesday. He
asked to be registered, but was denied
the privilege, and was landed in Jail.
Thiering, who once resided near Keu-
terville, where he is reported to have
relatives, came to Grangeville from
Montana, where he had resided for
some time. He explained to the local
board that he did not know of the reg
istration date last year until two months
after the day when men between the
ages of 81 and 81 were registered for
military service, and afterward, he de-
clared, he was afraid to give himself
up.
In view of the fact that federal and
local police authorities in all parts of
the country are continually on the watch
IOr slackers, III Is thought sIrdhso IhdC
Thiering was not picked up during his
travels.
The members of the local draft
board are determined that Thiering
shall be adequately punished. They are
opposed to inducing him into the army,
as was done with Anton Reidhaar, also
an Idaho county man, who did not reg
lister for the draft. Reidhaar was sent
to Camp Lewis, later was rejected for
active military service because of
physical disqualifications, but was ac-
cepted for limited service.
