The game will be called at 4:30 o'clock and the Brigham City Military Band will be at the ball park to enliven the proceedings with music. "Bill Morgan and Jesse Keller will do the heav. ing for Brigham City and Ed Ramshaw will also be in the game for the home team. The local players who have been engaging in strenuous training for the past ten days, are getting into form and a rattling good team is de veloping. The Garland players have been organized for some time and are a formidable bunch, so the management of the local ball club is anxious to have the stands and bleachers at the ball park filled to capacity tomorrow in order that there inay be some spirit to the game. Admission wt.l be 25 cents and children under twelve years of age will be admitted free. This Is the first opportunity the community has had to show its attitude toward the efforts being put forth to introduce base hall and make It a fixture in this city. Everybody ought to quit work and turn out to the game thus encouraging the club and getting some needed recreation besides. It may not generally be known that Urigahm City has a hall of relics and judging by the extent of patronage which the hall has received since Its establishment about a year ago, but very few people know of its existence. The institution was brought into activity by the Dalghters of the Pioneers who assiduously gathered togeteher all the relics they could find and then received permission to place them op permanent display in the basement of the Carnegie library. In all, there are 191 articles, all relics of the days when this was first settled by the pioneers. The collection includes a complete set of homemade machinery for the manufacture of homespun aloth together with samples or wool yam and cloth showing every step in the manufacture of cloth. Tlie loom holds a piece of cloth in the making, the exhibit being the workmanship of the hands of Mrs. Maren J. Norton. There Is a large collection of Indian relics made of bone, wood, iron and crockeryware, showing the art of the aborigines in the manufacture of implements of peace as wel as implements of war. A miniature leech for PROMONTORY GRAIN IS lye m.anufacure has been secured and HOLDING UP WELL. given an honorable place in the hall of relics. This curio forcefully reminds W.

Needleseason been favorable, the Promontory work, manuscripts, articles of clothing would have come into its own this year worn by early day dignitaries and furniture used by the came people and as a dry farming section. numerous other Interesting articles make up the cf lection. In establishing the hall of relics, the ladies hr.d but one object in view, that of perpetuating the memory of the men and women who laid the foundations of this community and at the fame time keep before the gaze of their children and childrens children the evidences of those days when the fathers and mothers suffered so much in order that wo who live today might enjoy the blessings we are in possession of. It is the earnest desire the Daughters of (jie Pioneers that the Hall of Rolics be made use of by the general public as It is open every day BOX ELDER COUNTYS VALUATION INCREASES. With the completion of the work of making assessment on public utilities in the various counties of the state by the State Board of Equalization, it is possible to give the total assessed valuation of Box Eider county. County Assessor Lorenzo Petts total assessment of lands, live stock and personal property, was $18,186,720. This is a marked increase over the valuations placed on the sane kinds of property in 1918.

Russell. During his stay in France, Mr. Morgan was in the motor car service acting as a chauffeur for a good part of the time. He was one of the men assigned to drive visiting lawmakers about who went from Washington, D. C., last summer to make an inspection of war conditions at the front and happily came into the company of Congressman Milton H. Welling. During the last months of his stay in France, Corporal Morgan was in the office checking up motor cars used by the army and which were either disposed of in France or returned to this country. Every inducement was made to keep Bill in France by his commanding officers, even to the promise of a commission and good assignment hut when the choice was put to him to stay or come home, it did not take him but a very few seconds to decide. He will remain in Brigham City and become associated with his father in business. Mr. C. W. Hall was down from Portage during the week on some matters of business. Bishop Moroni Ward of Riverside was a business visitor to Brigham City yesterday. Mr. M. D. Evans of GarLand was a business visitor to Brigham City two days during the present week.
