Almost every little city has a room open to the pub- lic where good books, news- papers and periodicals are to be read by all who care to see them, and where books can be borrowed and read. To open such a place in Prairie would be compara- tively easy if the matter were taken up by the right people. The initial cost could be met in various ways, and it has been found in other places that there are many people who own books that they have read, and are glad to donate to such a cause. March 7, 1941 Blue Mountain Eagle 75 years ago Staking a claim Simple as it may be there are those constantly asking how to stake a mining claim. A mining claim is 20 acres, 600 feet wide and 1,500 feet long. At the point of discov- ery, which is mineral rock in place, the notice of location is posted. Within 30 days from the time of posting the claim must be staked. A post or monument is placed and marked at each center end and a post or monument, marked at each corner making six in all within 60 days from the time of notice of location, the location work must be done and recorded in the of¿ce of the county clerk. This loca- tion work is a hole 6 by 4 by 10 feet or its equivalent. That will hold the ground for a year and fraction of year; that is for one year from the following July and then the assessment work must be done each year there after which amounts to $100 worth of work and under a recent law this proof of la- bor must be recorded. second in the event at Chan- dler.

Your Rural Fa mily Health Clinic LONG CREEK — The future of the Long Creek Seventh-day Adventist Church building will be the topic of a planning meeting at 4 p.m. Friday, March 11, in Long Creek City Hall. The local Seventh-day Adventist congregation plans to erect a new church to replace the existing one, which was constructed in 1896. The Long Creek Histor- ical Society would like to save the building and have it moved four blocks away to its Fort Townsend site. Historical Society members say, while it is small, it’s in good shape and would serve the group’s needs as a long-awaited museum for housing artifacts. The community is wel- come to attend and offer in- put. Long Creek City Hall is located at 250 Hardisty St. For more information, call City Hall at 541-421-3601.
