Superintendent Chalcraft commeno-
ed writing checks Thursday to pay the
Indians for their timber .old some
me ago. The amount was $19,980.
The sum each one received whose
name was on the pay roll is $47.80
-the whole sum paid to these Indians
within the last six months amounts to
about $02 000. A part of this money
was put at once into circulation and
helped to lubricata the wl.ee.is of

thing a recipient did when he received
his check was to cash It and pay bU the BeasIlore and the roar of the water

REMOVAL OF CLUB HOUSE
Tho American Legion is compelled
to move what is known as the Sol
diers Club House to make room for
the construction of dry kilns by tho
Pacific Spruce Corporation.
Upon the liberality of the people of
the City of Toledot, depends whether
we are to have a place of amusement
or not. It is Just ns important to pro
vide entertainment for the people a&
to provide housing facilities, and is
Just one of the many increased respon
sibilities that come to us with the in
crease in population.
This building will be moved to a po
sition nearer the center of the City,
where suitable ground has already
been secured, It will serve as an ad
ditional display building for County
Fair purposes as well as an Armory,
Club House and Ball Room. It is tho
present plan to construct same so
that the ball room will be reserved
for dancing only.
The removal of the Club House Is
too big a financial undertaking for
the American Legion without outside
assistance limsmuch as it will cost ap-
proximately $2000.00 and the total WANTS MAN
