Annual School District Meeting

The following is an abstract of the
proceedings of the annual meeting of
our school district held on Monday
evening last. No members of the dis
trict board being present the meeting
was called to order by Mr.. Weld, and
III. J.. Wadsworth was chosen chair
man and lIr. Weld temporary clerk.
The principal resolutions passed were:
to have nine months school instead of
eight, as last year; to raise $4,000 for
teachers wages and $1,000 for incl
dental expenses; TO adopt the free
high school system; and to allow the
Norwegian citizens to have the use of
the grammar room for a Norwegian
school during the summar vacation.
George MeKahan was elected clerk.
Owing to the absence of the members
of the school board it was thought
best to hold an adjourned meeting
July 2lst, and have the reports of the
district board read at that date. The
report OF the Treasurer showed the
total receipts of the year to be S.,
764. 90. Disbursements wa
ees, s.. S2S 90. Incidental expenses.

ICE.

Some years ago California miner
laid wager with person who said that
ice was ice, and there was no difference,
While the confident person took his
block from the nearest ice-house, the
miner brought his flpm the Sierras, and,
the blocks being brought to exactly the
same weight, the combat began by ex-
posing both alike to the sun. The ice
from the winters freezing of the plain
was like that we use every day, but that
from the Rocky mountains, cut in sum
mer from the eternal SHOWS, was more
like gem in purity, hardness and the
vivid colors of its refracted light. The
common ice began to melt at once. That
from the Sierras did not seem to know
it was summer The confident man
now tried to screen his, by giving it his
shadow, but it was Of no use. The low
land ice was only a wet spot, and two
thirds of the fiinty Ice of the far Sierra
was still there, in good order TO cool
drinks for the twenty who used it, and
the bet of the miner was won. But the
hardest ice of the Sierra is but "mush
ice" to that frozen into diamonds by the
awful cold of 30 deg. c., about the pole.
There is no spectacle on earth so mag
nifcent as those fields and cliffs of ice,
glittering in the sun.

There was quite time at the
meeting of the board of review Mon
day and Tuesday. The assessor, I: y.
Olson, had assessed property atits full
value, according to law. not at one half
or two-thirds as had been customary
heretofore, and great many farmers
came up to protest, and try to get
their valuation cut down. They did
not get any satisfaction, they would
not swear that the property was worth
less than the assessed valuation and
SO it had to stand. In two or three
instances it was raised.-Bur1aett

returning from a hunt, as is supposed,
they fired their guns into the air near
the railroad crossing on the farm oc-
cupied by Mrs. A. III. Weld, with the
rather unpleasant result of shower
of shot on the roof of the house. For
tunately no damage was done, but it
would be well for such sportsmen to
remember that shot fired in the air
will come down.
