There were stores, court houses in
which courts were held, restaurants,
auction sales, and many other means
through which the visitors to the new
ly erected carnival grounds contribIt-
cd their donations.
The comely senoritas acted as po-
lice, and certainly did their part when
it came to bringing in the delinquents
to the kangaroo COURT" at the sa-
loon, representing the old-time min
ing camp barroom, the aqua pura was
much in evidence; to say nothing of
the delicious dainties that were OBJ

the efforts Of some Of the more elder

All in all, it was grand success;

The Virgins hotel passed at Z
o'clock on the morning of February
II into the control of MessrsJ ]. H.
Davis, J. E. Davis and George Staiger,
who are to be the managers Of the
hotel. Mr.. Jack Chambers was the
lToker. The consideration was not
made public
The Virgins hotel has been in op-
GRAFTON for the past sixteen years. In
1904 Bob Virgins came to Ray and
leased the old frame building which
stood, until destroyed by fire in 1911,
on the same location as the present
building, the site being owned by Mr..
Virgins. Subsequent to the fire,
when the whole town was rebuilt with
freproof material, the Virgins was a
rather upstairs arrangement, just hav-
ing hallway and stair running from
the second story to the sidewalk be-
low. Recently the enterprising Mr..
Virgins remodeled the whole front
and put in lobby on the. first floor,
thus making it one of the incest and
most convenient hostelries in the
camp.
The new proprietors are all tUsi-
ness men of Ray and, having faith in
the future of the camp, have put ad-
ditional money into what they con
slider an opportunity without waiting
for outside capital to come in and get
hold of the good things. Mr.. ]. H.
Davis is interested in the Del Monte
building and Mr.. J. E. Davis is a
rancher, while Mr. Staiger, familiarly
known as Sunshine" owns and oper-
ates the pool hall Mr. .Staiger will
be in direct charge of the hotel

A unique and impressive ceremony
one which perhaps you may never
witness again, has been arranged by
the American Legion for Sunday
evening, Feb. 22nd, when the French
government will present the memor-
ais to the parents OF the boys "who
did their bit over there" and did not
return.
These certificates could be sent di,
rect to the nearest relatives by mail
or as the distributors inclination die
tates, but the members of the John
Pruitt Post feel they must present
these certificates in person, and SO
honor the memory of their former
comrades.
Feeling thus, they have invited the
parents Of deceased service men to
be their guests of honor at pretty
ceremony that is being arranged espe-
cially for them.
The presentation will t9 directly
under the supervision of Mr.. M. V.
Eusey, former chaplain in the Ameri
can army. Mr.. Eusey was selected
because he is peculiarly fitted to con
duct such a ceremony, having offici
ated on many similar occasions while
in the service, and the splendid pro
gram he has arranged will make the
affair an occasion long to be remem
