Following the example of Salt Lake, Brigham City is now a "closed" town. This action was taken by the local board of health yesterday forenoon and the school children were permitted to meet in the afternoon just long enough to sing a song and be advised that school was out" indefinitely until the health situation clears up. W hen the matter of closing was put up to the management of the picture houses and the pool hall proprietors, they heartily accepted the decree ot the health board and immediately closed their doors. The presidency of the Box Elder Stake likewise accepted the decree and in a signed statement, found elsewhere In this issue, they abolish all church gatherings until the danger is over. That this is not mere hysteria is evidenced by the fact that six families are now afflicted with the dread disease and some of those afflicted are seriously ill. City Recorder Noble M. Fishburn, wife and children are all in bed with the malady and Mrs. Fish-burhas had some pneumonia. All the members of the family have suffered greatly and while some improvement is noted in their condition today, they are still very ill. Mrs. G. Stewart Horsley Is down with the Flu and is a very sick little woman. Every attention Is being given her in the hope of warding off The influenza Itself Is pneumonia. of such a malignant character that It completely prostrates those whom it fastens itself upon. Mr. F. W. Fishburn and son Raymond have had a siege of the grip but are improving and in the family of Mr. and Mrs. Oscar G. Nelson, who reside on Fifth West between Forest and First South, a number of the members of the family are down. In deciding to close up the city, the Board of Health acted upon the Instructions of the State Board of Health, whose power is absolute in such emergencies, and they give very good advice to the people in a signed statement below. While hysteria does no good and people should keep their heads as much as possible, there should be no laxness in dealing with the present situation The menace is at our very doors and by taking the necessary precautions a great deal of trouble will be overcome. Now that school has been suspended and the children will be at home, it would be a wise thing for each individual family to keep its little flock inside its own premises and not permit the children to run together in the streets nor to visit with each other at home. Eternal vigilance, in this crisis, is the price of happiness and health. n TO BRIGHAM CITIZENS. With the full concurrence of our mayor and other city officials Brigham City falls into line in applying the instructions issued from Salt Lake City yesterday morning, and the board of health makes the following announcement: Until further notice all public assemblages in this city will be strictly forbidden and this includes the following: Churches, Sunday Schools, theathows, res, ward meetings, picture meetings, pool halls, dance halls and library. This move is deemed necessary at this time to avert an epidemic of Spanish Influenza, and we appeal to every individual in the city to aid the move by proper and intelligent conduct where symptons of the malady appear. Symptons are as follows: Bodily weakness with pains in the head, eyes, back and elsewhere in the body. Vomiting sometimes occurs and dizziness usual and the temperature is from 100 to 104. The appetite is lost and constipation Is the rule. In fact anything in the nature of a cold at this time Is justification for extreme care and should any of the above symptons develop your physician should be notified at once and you should cease to mingle with any one. The disease is carried in the breath and particularly in the discharge from the throat and nostrils. The most eminent men in the state believe it possible to utterly stamp out the malady in a very short time. We shall all concede that It is well worth the efTort. We would like for a few your honest cooperation days. Will you help? We advise that every family keep within the bounds of their own premises and do not entertain visitors from outside points. BOARD OF HEALTH. Up until the evening of October 9th, Box Elder county had purchased bonds of the Fourth Liberty Loan to the amount of $156,000. This subschiption is divided among 1656 individuals and firms and is less than half of the total allotment for the county. There are just eightmore days of the campaign and the canvassing committee proposes to drive for all its worth in order to bring the county over the mark with a good margain to spare in order to succeed in this, it will require doubling up on the part of many subscribers who have not purchased bonds commensurate with their ability to invest. It isnt a matter of simply investing spare funds in Liberty Bonds but men who have the financial backing in the shape of property, are asked to borrow money and purchase heavily. The banks are willink to lend the money and no borrower will work a hardship upon himself because the interest government will pay on the bonds and the banks will charge not over 8'; on the money so the in' in order to patvestor pays only riotically support the government. The good news from the battle front should stimulate rather that discourage the purchase of Liberty Bonds. The time to deliver the knockout blow is when the adversary is staggering. In order to bring the war to quick end, every demand of the government should be instantly met for every dollar invested in Liberty Bonds adds just one more blow to Kaiserlsra.. Box Elder County must pot fall down. It would be a reproach upon our loyalty. Men of means who have subscribed only' for small amounts must double and treble their subscriptions and every 'dilzen .vho can, and that means practically every man in Box Elder county, should own a bond. There ought to be 0, md subscribers instead of onlv 1656. Dont be a Bond Slacker. Get in your pocket and dig up. 4' BEET DIGGING ON FULL BLAST. The Amalgamated Sugar Company received its first car of 1918 beets at the Brigham factory today. For a week or more, the factory has been running to get properly tuned up and it is uie hope of the superintendent to begin slicing beets on Tuesday next. The beets are coming in in fine shape this year, being full and well up The recent rains in sugar content. have put the ground in first class condition for digging and the farmers are hard at in order to get the campaign over while the good weather lasts. LABOR BUREAU FORMED. The High School and the County Agent have combined to aid the pres ent labor situation in placing students on the farm where they can not only earn money but assist in harvesting the tremendous crops that are still Teachers and students who desire to go to work should confer with County Agent R. H. Stewart and farmers who need help should file their applications with the same official who will then see to it that both parties are brought tergeather. CHURCH WILL COMPLY WITH CLOSING ORDER. While working In bis field during the week near the old S. I, railroad track west of this city, Mr. H S. Larsen plowed up the remains of a human being. The skull was the first part of the remains to be uncovered, the point of the plow forcing it out of the ground thus attracting tile attention of Mr. Larsen and his son who then did a little careful excavating to secure the balance of the remains. They discovered that the leg bones were lying over the head denoting that when the body was deposited there it was doubled up od else there were two bodies, the heard of one and the feet of another being placed together. The remains were found just east of the railroad right o. way, on t he north side of the road and just between the slough and the right of way. Mr. Larsen cannot determine (whether the remains are those of an Indian or a White man. When the great race was on to build the railway and the two companies were performing titanic labors in Box Elder County to win the goal, there were undoubtedly occasions when human life was sacrificed and it Is quite probable that the remains found by Mr. Larsen alongside the railroad right of way, are those of one of the men who were working on the grade at that time. The board of county commissioners met in regular session Tuesday, all members present. Thomas Haws, road stqiervisor of Plymouth, appeared relative to the county roads in his district being washed out. Instructed to make the necessary repairs. John W, Smith, road supervisor of Centerdale, appeared relative to fencing the county road there, also as U making some repairs on road near the Idaho state line.
