No new cases of flu have been

Recommended for Gallantry.
Secretary of the Navy Daniels
has commended 22 members of
the armed guard of the 'steamer
Dora for gallant conduct and at
tention to dupy when the ship
was sank by a hun submarine on
Sept. 4, 1918. Among the boys
thus honored was a former resi
dent of Eagle Valley, JosepH
McCabe, a son of Mrs. Louis
Smith. '
It will be remembered that irj
November we published a letter,
from McCabe telling of his feVcue
after Jloating for four hours'o'n a
piece of wreckage.

Sparta Irrigation District was4
held Saturday and the piroppsi;
