Two Thousand Books
Sent to Camp Dodge

Twenty-Five boxes containing about
two thousand books were shipped on
Thursday from Valley City to Camp
Dodge. These books were given in
the recent campaign for books for
soldiers, and represents the gifts
from several nearby towns as well as
those of Valley City.
All books in this shipment have
oeen prepared so that they will go
into immediate circulation upon their
arrival in the camp library. This pre-
paration has involved FASTING a book
plate in the front of each book, a
book pocket in the back, and the
making of book card for each one.
For the non-fction simple shelf cards
have also been made. This work was
the contribution of the local librar-
ians.
Shipments will be made during the
duration of the war, and it is hoped
that the interest shown in the recent
campaign will continue.

Director Hubbard, of the Munich
pal band, will start up the concerts
in the park next Sunday, program for
which will appear in this paper later
on. Mr.. Hubbard is going to ask the
indulgence of the public little for
the benefit of the band boys and what
he is going to ask is in our judgment
perfectly right. He is going to com.
mence these concerts at 2:30 instead
Of 3 o'clock. This change is made in
order to let the band boys have it,
tie more time to themselves. Most
of the band members work hard dur
ing the week, then the Sunday con-
cert takes up all their Sunday after
noon. If they get through with this
a little earlier we think it will give
them little more time to themselves
and do no one any harm. If there is
no real objection to this the concerts
will start at 2:3O.

Owing to the quarantine regula- tions preventing the dispatch of mail and also debarltng persons from travelling, local claim owners and oth- requires recording have found them selves unable to meet legal and other requirements with the result that llany have suffered considerable mental perturbation over the question of what to do. Particularly those who were under the necessity of fill Ing proofs of intention to hold mining claims before the close of the year,
 have found themselves facing an un-
 rleasant prospect of possible litiga-
 tion owing to their inability to place
 themselves on record as intending to

 been set up in some quarters that the
 action of posting letters in time to

To assist in resolving the difficulty, If possible. the Chamber of Commerce has wired Chas. Sulzer, who is cred itcd with being the father of the res olutton suspending the annaul as sesSment law during 1917-1S, stating that the quarantine regulations have stopped the mails, no one is allowed io travel. and it IS impossible for many to reach the recording offices.

The Bureau of Education esti- mates that the cost for caring for he sick from the commencement of the epidemic to present date will ap- proYmate $70OO0 Of this amount approximately ten per cent has been expended on the care of white per sons, the remainder in looking after tine sickness and subsequent needs of tho native population of the district The number of deaths occurring so far approximate eight hundred, including both whites and natives. About two hundred and fifty orphaned native children are at present being cared fer by the Bureau of Education at an estimated cost of approximately $500 per day.

 Northwestern Division of the Army Engineering board has intimated a willingness to recommend the contin- uatlon of the project. Owing to war conditions, the original appropriation cf S105,000 only suffices for the build ing of the revetments along the river banks and the dredging of the chan rel for a distance of 100 feet from shore, leaving nothing for the con- struction of the jetties, upon which the future stability of the copstruc- tion will depend.

LOSS OF MONEY
LEADS TO ARREST

Peter Vasso, a Greek, who keeps a
store on Palafox street, was arrested
yesterday by the sheriff's deputies
and charged with grand larceny. the
allegation being made by a former
employer on South Palafox street,
that Vasso had taken about 5000 of
the formers money. This alleged
theft was said to have occurred in
Christmas week, but there was no
action taken until Yesterday. when
the aforementioned developments
came out
Some few weeks ago, it is stated,
Vasso entered suit for $4,000 against
the loser of the money, who is George
Fevrus, it was stated that this action
followed the accusation on the part
of the employer named that Vasso
had made off with the missing coin.
During Christmas week, it is stat
ed Fevrus lost a roll of about $500,
and the mysterious disappearance of
the money has gone unsolved up to
the present time.
