DIES
FROM PNEUMONIA

1t is with keen regret that the peo-
pie of Valley City learn of the death Of
Miss Laila Platou, Oldest daughter of
DR.. and Mrs. L. S. Platou, who sue
cumbed to the dreaded disease of in
fiuenza followed by pneumonia, on
Sunday in a Minneapolis hospital.
Miss Platou was raised in Valley City
and was graduate of the high school
here. During the many years that the
Platou family lived here Laila made
many personal and intimate friends
who will indeed be very much grieved
to hear of her death. She was very
much liked by her friends and was one
of the young ladies who was promin-
emit in school and society doings while
resident of this city. Two years ago
the family moved to Fargo where DR..
Platou is now practicing his profess
sion. The people Of Valley City will
join with the Times-Record in extend
ing heartfelt sympathy to the be-
reaved parents and the other mem
bers of the family in the loss Of this
splendid young woman.
The funeral will be held in Our
Savior's Lutheran church tomorrow,
Thursday afternoon, at 2 o'clock.

of seven hundred feet co the work
ings. A few weeks ago the quartz in
this drift began widening and at the
same time showing better values than
at any point in the entire eighteen
hundred feet Of it's length. Two weeks
ago contract was let for carrying
forward the drift, leaving the quartz
in it's place on the wall. TO make
room for air pipes it became neces-
sary to take down this ore, and in
drilling the plug holes the quartz was
SO rich in silver sulphide as to give
the drillings the appearance of black
mud. The vein has continued to widen
out until at the face Of the drift it
showed between two and three feet,
and the silver content seems to i'm
prove in proportion as the ledge in
creases in size. A sample taken
across the ore face and assayed by j.

Mr.. Newman, one of the members
of the company who has charge of the
operations while General Manager C.
F. Littrell is away, consulting a. spei
cialist in San francisco, is highly
pleased with the way the mine is
looking, and has great expectations
for the next hundred feet OF drifting.
The old Comargo or Whitlach ledge,
from which millions were extracted in
early days of the district should in
tersect the dixie vein soon, and at the
crossing it is anticipated a concentra-
ton of values will occur. Without
any additional enrichment, however,
the value OF the development is great,
for with 700 feet Of backs on the vein
as it has already been exposed, the
owners who have persistently kept at
the task of opening up the mine have
financed it heavily, and have never lost
their nerve are as certain as anything
in mining can be to get back all they
have invested and several hundred per
cent profit for good measure.
The people of Austin are jubilant
over the good luck of the Dakota
crowd, for the success of this mine
will cause the development of other
mines in the district and cause a re-
turn of the balmy days of the old
camp, when money was plentiful and
everybody in hurry, and there was
no difference between day and night.

opening Of this ore body will cause,

of the year.-Reese River Reviille.

exception, which l am sure you based
on either wrong or transformation.
attended a meeting in Fargo at
which the object and aims of the So
called American Movement were set
forth; as there stated, there can be no
new party contemplated. AS l un-
derstand, it's aims are to call attention
to the dangers arising from the too
general faint of Americanism in
our body polite and the injury that
must follow. A movement of patriot
ism, precaution and propaganda edu-
rational and protective.
This work, if carried on in this state
could be only indirect but should aid
materially. To talk better citizen
ship, greater regard for our coun-
try and its governmental institutions
and aims, to preach caution IN the
adoption of untried governmental ex-
periments based on foreign ideals or
demands could give little comfort to
TownleNisnl. To call attention to
where we are speeding (not drifting)
and the forces that engender our
speeding surely could not hurt. To me
It looks like a national movement, a
possible aid in our time of stress.

Mr.. Crawford for whom l hold no
brief. but consider him an able and

conclusion is that he is simply dong
what he has been requested to do

for everyone without consideration OF
himself.
We all naturally have our likes and

thing, as you so we'll. put it must get

taken a good deal Of satisfaction out
Of considering myself something OF a
free lance with a possible mental
weakness of being rather too insistent
that my way, only, was the right way
For the time being, however, l have
adopted this creed. Any way that
will get the goods, is good enough fol
me to follow. Any job in the ranks
is big enough and not too small for me
to accept gratefully. Any man who
can take us over the top is my Cap
