sided, and paying glowing tribute to
Judge William s. Bonnifield as one
who had been so closely identified
with the court OF Humboldt county
ever since its establishment, almost
introduced him as the speaker.
Judge Bonnifield's address was
rare treat. He has such a fund of
raniujcconcac and rap,ap,barc .o
clearly countless incidents of the his
tory of the state and county, and pos
sesses the gifted faculty of being able
to tell the stories entertainingly. and
Mr.. Campbell made no mistake when
he told the audience he thought it fit
ting that Judge Bonnifield be chosen
as the speaker for the occasion. The
Judge duly expressed his appreciation
of the honor.
1t was 81 years ago, he told the au-
dience, that he came with his parents
across the plains. travelling down the
Humboldt river. passing within sight
of the very spot on which the court
house stands.
The Silver State deeply regrets that
the time is limited and it is unable to
give resume of his remarks.

teresting and today was the first time
that many of our people ever had the
opportunity to witness such a one.

CHAPEL AT ARLINGTON
WILL SHELTER BODIES
Arrangements Perfected to Care for
Remains Pending Their
Burial.

According to Col. F. H. Lawton,
depot quartermaster. who is in direct
charge of the Arlington national
cemetery. arrangements have just
been perfected for the use of the new
mortuary chapel attached to the
Arlington Memorial Amphitheater, in
the care of the bodies of soldiers
brought home from Europe, pending
their final burial. The amphitheater
was dedicated several weeks ago, but
the mortuary chapel has just been
completed.
Col. Lawton said that bodies had
been returned from overseas in such
large numbers recently that there
was not room for all of them in the
regular receiving vaults of the ceme-
terry, and it had been found necessary
to place the overflow temporarily in
large room in one of the nearby
warehouses. The room was deco
rated with flags and specially pre-
pared for the care of the bodies, and
besides, was then the only place
available for the purpose.
The new mortuary chapel, Col.
Lawton said, affords all the space
needed for the reception and care of
the bodies from overseas and that
building alone will be used hereafter.
