COMPANY TO BUILD

Manager C. r. Simpson, of the
Gamble Robinson Co., of this city,
informs the Times-Record this morn
ing that work on their new warehouse
was commenced this morning. The
building is to be 35x90 feet, one story

west of the Valley City Grocery Com
pany on Front street, is to be of

ped with the last word in cold stor-
age and banana refrigerator rooms.

ing which is now being started.
The erection Of this building is an
other proof Of the Importance of VAL

point and it will enable our good
friend, Manager Simpson, to better
care for his rapidly growing business.
Since Mr.. Simpson came here he has
SO conducted the business that it has
grown rapidly and is coming all the

VALLEY LOSES
OPENING GAME

The local baseball season opened
with rush yesterday afternoon when
Valley City collided with the fast
Cooperstown team. Mayor Bonhus
pitched the first hall and was one of
those kind which commits all kinds
Of manoeuvers and which makes the
batter think he is cross eyed. How
ever, no home run was made from it.
The game opened with Blackburne
in the box for Valley City, and Gran
gard of Rogers receiving. The
Cooperstown boys, however, seemed to
connect with Blackburne's curves very
easily with the result that Coopers-
town had three points to their credit
before the inning ended. Smiling
Bill Parsons" johnson was substitut-
ed for Blackburne in the latter half
of the first inning, and did some
creditable work throughout the entire

ROBERT BRUCE
WITH BIG BAND

Harold Bachman, director Of The
Million Dollar Band which is to play
in Valley City on the 31st of May an
nounces as special feature Robert
Bruce, the worlds greatest Indian COR
netist, who is now playing under Mr..
Bachman's baton for the fourth con-
secutive season.
Educated at the leading Indian
schools of the United States, namely
Haskell and Carlisle, Mr.. Bruce be-
gan his musical studies at very ear
~ age. After his graduation from
Carlisle he played with Arthur Pry-
or's famous band at Atlantic City and
then played with the famous Bethle-
hem Steel Works Band at Bethlehem,
Pa, where he created quite furore
over the entire east with his Won
derful cornet solos played in full In
dian costume, war paint and all.
From this engagement, Mr.. Bruce
came to the band which Mr.. Bachman
had organized for overseas and served
in the army nearly two years, fifteen
months of this time being spent over
seas.
During the past year with The Mil
lion Dollar Band, Robert Bruce has
made a tremendous hit all over the
country and he is at present looked
upon as one of Americas finest solo
lists. In fact, he does several stunts
on the cornet that no other cornetist
has been known to perform. lis tone
is soft and velvety and his technique
nothing short of marvellous.
At school MIR. Bruce was promin-
inent in athletics as we'll as in musi-
cal circles. He was d member Of the
Carlisle football team at the same
time that Jim Thorpe, the worlds
greatest all around athlete played. He
and Mr.. Thorpe are warm friends.
Mr. Bruce appears on every pro-
gram given by The Million Dollar
Band.

When Blackburne was taken from the
pitchers box he was sent to right
