The list as printed in The Eagle, was given to us as official, and no ad- ditions as they suggested ap- peared on this list. It appeared, however, that we did not have the complete list as later posted, but our info, mation, we assure the Press, came from the same source as they secured theirs, and what assurance have we that they were official. Our previous statements regarding the B. V. P. up the street have yet to be contradicted. Silence gives con- sent. Attention lier will be a special meeting of the 7,ommercial Club at the Fire Hall Monday evening, Aug. 13, at 8 o'clock. It is very im- portant that everyone be there, as there are important matters that must be attended to. S. A. Holt, Pres. By M. T. Houghton, Sec. Pups Winners Again Sunday afternoon the Ekalaka Pups took the Prairie Dale boys to another cleaning on the local diamond, the final score being 17 to 3. Quite a number were out to witness the game, but the one- sided proposition didn't inject much pep into the rooters. Catcher Trogdon of the visiting team received a broken hand in the last inning, being hit while att,empting to strike the last ball thrown over the \pan.\ The lineup at Sunday's game was: Pups—Campbell, c; Maloney and Malmquist, p; Houghton, es; H.

Draft Examinations Wednesday morning the local exemption boarG met for the ex- amination of the boys who will make up Carter county's share of the big new army for Uncle Sam. Very few 80 far have been given their discharge for physical de- fects, nearly all the bove having come up to the requirements in this respect. Claims for exemp- tion, we understand. will be many, but as the board will not complete its work on the first call until probably Saturday, tto exact figures can be given. The town has been lively since the boys have appeared for examina- tion, and they are all anxiously waiting the decision of the local board. Those who will be ac- cepted by the local board will be re-examined later at the point where they will mobilize, which will probably be the state capitol. _ Jake Ridgway and family were in town a few hours yesterday enroute to their home at Plevna. They had been visiting friends at Camp Crook. You will want to keep posted on all the new developments in the army draft plan.

A delegation from the vicinity of the Mill Iron postoffice ap- peared before the board, and re- quested the repairing of the bridge that collapsed over Box Elder this spring. The board will rebuild the bridge as soon as possible. On recommendation of the superintendent of schools, a tax of 10 mills was placed for school district No. 5, and a tax of 5 mills for district No. 16. County Treasurer Connolly was instructed t,o go to Baker and complete the transfer of monies in connection with the division of property with our parent county. He was also authorized to issue a warrant in the amount of $34,- 342.87 to Fallon county as our in- debtedness to them as found'by the adjusters' report, Mr. Con- nolly is in Baker this week mak- ing the transfer. A tax of one mill on each dollar of assesaable valuation in the county was or- dered forthe. matatosanee -of three year course of high school. A contract was entered into with the clerk and recorder of Custer county for the comparing of the transcribed records, his salary for same to be $5 per day. The matter of allowing the sheriff's office one deputy for the Alzada territory was discussed, and the same will be allowed upon the citizens of that town building a small jail, which we understand they will do in a short time. T. Vv. Morris of the Piniele section was appointed Justice of the Peace to fill the vacancy caused by the resignation of L. J. O'Grady. Wm. Turner was given the appointment as road super- visor in the Piniele se.ction, in place of R. Burgey who was ap- pointed to another road district.

Fair in September Part of the advertising ma- terial for the coming Carter County Fair has arrived. and the committee in charge is busy send- ing out the \dope\ On account of the dry year it has been de- cided to issue no premium list this year, but prizes are going to be offered for any exhibit of a meretorious nature, and all ex- bibitors are requested to bring in the best they have to offer, no raatter in what line, just so long as it comes within the meaning of county fair exhibits. It is hoped that the fair this year will not lack any patriotism on the part of those who have grains, garden truck, etc., to exhibit by reason of the fact that no list was issued. Elsewhere in this issue will be found the entertainment pro- gram for the two days. Together with this program there will be amusements of all.kinds, includ- ing dances, picture shows and free street attractions. Now is the time for you to prepare to take in the fair next month.

Twice a year the fire boys give a big \hop and it is hoped that the coming event will not fall be- low the success of all those pre- vious.
