The Anthony Weeky Bulletin Harper County Friday February 18, 1898 Off For The Klondike. Harry WHITNEY adn Richard SETHMAN started Wednesday afternoon of this week, for Portland, Oregon, where they will buy their outfit to make their trip to Klondike. They have not fully determined whether to attempt to cross the path, and save a month or six week's time, or wait until they can travel by water route. The young men are both vigorous and ambitious, and leave here with high hopes and aspirations, and we certainly hope they may be spared actual suffering and may realize handsomely from their venture. The undertaking is a hazardous one and fraught with many privations, if not actual dangers and such zeal deserves success. If honest endeavors count for anything in that country, we predict for them a rich success.

The Anthony Weekly Bulletin Harper County Friday January 28, 1898 Death of Charles Costa. Charlie COSTA died last Saturday morning at 10 o'clock, of membranous croup, at the residence of his parents, Mr. and Mrs. James J. COSTA. Charlie Costa had been a sufferer nearly the whole ten years of his life; being attacked when quite young by a disease of the hip. He had recovered from three severe operations, and had seemed to grow stronger after the last one. The little fellow was a reasonably patient sufferer, and had many friends who always had a kind and cheering word for him; though not able to indulge very much in the pastimes of his companions, he always enjoyed being with them, and took pleasure in their enjoyment. He had been ill for nearly a week and his many friends hoped that he might recover, but he gradually grew worse, until his suffering was terrible and death was a relief when it came. Owing to the malignant character of the disease it was deemed advisable not to hold a public funeral, and the interment took place Sunday afternoon. The Bulletin joins in the wide spread sympathy that is being extended to the bereaved ones.

The Lawrence Daily Journal-World Douglas County Friday January ?,1942 Confirm Bad News About The Girdles. War Production Board Includes Golf and Tennis Balls in the Ban. Washington, Jan. 23, (AP), Sorry, girls, but the war production board confirmed that bad news about girdles today. After February 1, an order declared, no more crude rubber or latex may be used in manufacturing girdles or other foundation garments, golf and tennis balls, erasers, bathing suits and caps, lawn and garden hose and hundreds of other common household items. Extending already strict government control over the rubber industry, the board made public a long list of "essential" products which may be manufactured; established production quotas for each class of products, and directed that use of crude rubber for a wide variety of "essential" civilian good be reduced about 75 per cent below recent annual consumption. After February 1, the order stipulated, all products not on the list may be manufactured only from reclaimed rubber. It was this provision which torpedoed girdles. Reclaimed rubber, experts say, cannot be used satisfactorily in material which is subject to recurrent stretching. After a few stretches, it doesn't bounce back into shape. Since last December 19, when the government halted production of all non-essential goods pending a detailed study of the rubber shortage, the industry's output has been subject to general limitations. The new WPB order tells the industry exactly what it can and can't make and how much of it. Specific permission must be obtained from the board before crude rubber or latex can be used to make tires or tubes, retreading material, insulating compounds, jar rings, and other items. Further, WPB may at any time change specifications of all products on the approved list to reduce the amount of crude rubber used. Consumption of rubber on the approved list is based on average montly comsumption during the year ended March 31. Each month, for example, the industry may produce exactly the same amount of hospital and surgical supplies and infant feeding products as was produced during the comparable month in the base period. The same 100 per cent limit applies to such goods as industrial protective clothing, tire repair materials an surgical and medical equipment. Equipment for printing and publishing is cut to 80 per cent; water bottles and ice bags to 75 per cent. Only 30 per cent as much rubber footwear for workmen and athletes may be manufactured, but fire and mill hose output, necessary for civilian defense and increased industrial activity, is boosted 80 per cent. The order provides that, until further notice no one may sell trade or transfer any crude rubber or latex without permission from the WPB or the Rubber Reserve company, an RFC. subsidiary.
