Tie Daly=Gerard organization Of
New York. one of the largest oper-
ating mining companies on the con
tinent. viii very likely add the Red
Top TO its properties in the Port
land Canal district. according TO
Western Canada Ming News. This
property adjoins the Rufus=Argenta
which was recently secured by
them.
J. G. Calvin, who interested this
organization in Rufus-Argenta. is
now on his way TO New York with
an option on the Red Top and pa
pers signed by officials of the com
pany at this end. It is confidently
believed that he will be able to
place the Red Top with them.
Arrangements are IN hand to still
further add to the holdings of this
company in Bear River section, and
ultimately II may have over 1000
acres of claims adjoining George
Copper on three sides.
The Red Top group was staked
IN 1905 by Ben 0. Erickson and
John Mcneil. but Mr. Erickson sold
his interest a few years ago to j. j.

months ago they sold to w. Living

Civic

The Civic Club met last Saturday
afternoon and transacted the usual
routine business. The librarian re
ported that it has been found nee
essary to lock up certain current
magazines in order to prevent their
being taken from the reading table.
This action was a matter of regret
to the club women who feel that it
is not fair to the patrons of the
reading room who go there outside
the regular library hours, to de
priYe them of the current numbers
but the loss OF magazines has been
so great in the past, that it is the
only course left open. Signs ask
ing that no magazines be removed
from the reading table without the
permission of the librarian are sim
ply disfegarded and no information
has been forthcoming as to the
identity of those who carry the
reading matter away and fail to re-
turn it. The magazine subscrip-
tions are a considerable item in the
expense of library maintenance,
while a card emitting the holder
to all library privileges for a month
costs but % cents.
Twelve volumes of Carpenters
travels were added to the Wrangen
Library recently and they are prov
ing among the most popular books
issued. Among them are Canada,
The Alps, Danube and Near East,
Alaska, Our Northern Wonderland.
Mexico, France to Scandinavia, etc.
Those who have read any of them
declare them SO fascinating that it
is hard to lay volume aside before
it is all read. According to the re-
port of the librarian, III books and
IS magazines were issued last
month and $5.35 received in cash
for library cards.

Regarding School Board

AT special meeting OF the Town
Council held Monday evening con-
sideration was given to the Ques-
lion as to the most satisfactory
course to pursue to settle the tie
vote between two candidates for
member OF the school board.
A letter was read from p. c. Nc
Gormack, clerk OF the school board.
which stated that a majority of the
school board Mrs. Wheeler and
himself. were of the opinion that
the most satisfactory course to pur-
sue would be the holding Of a spe-
eial election, but that they were
willing to defer to the judgment OF
the Council in the matter.
Some OF the members of the
Council expressed the opinion that
no vacancy exists to present mas
much as members OF the school
board hold office until their sue
cessors are elected and qualified.
Thereupon a motion prevailed that
the Council take no action on the
matter at this time.

unit, cots, mattresses, blankets and

canteen was established at Newhall,
about 80 miles from Los ANGELES,
where so workers cared for the sur
viyors as they were brought in and
served the hundreds of men on the
rescue squadst a dressing station
also was established.
This is what happens wherever
