EDITORS WEssISGroN SrRISGs HERALD;
Another cold snap is.over and we are
not frozen up yet.
Ne would like to know what has be-
come of Hector and Jeff" from the
flresVeel. We hope they viii furnish
more news from that part Of the coun-
ty. Cheer up, boys. and give us the
news. Our county paper needs more
neighborhood news. and we VIII be
glad to hear from others, if the editor
will give the space. What we want is
to haze our paper Herald forth spicy
news that will be interesting to all.
And, by the way. we think Z. j. DIS
communication to the Nashua. Iowa
Post, deserves more than a passing no.
tlce, and we think he had better return
from whence he came until his mind
natures, and then try and give the
readers of the Post a more correct ac-
count of our rich, fertile soil and health
full climate.
Mr.. John Sullivan and wife have
moved Oh their claim.
Mr.. Miller is teaching school in the
Patten school township.
Mr.. Hanson was presented by his
wife with a fine boy not long since and
Mr.. H.now carries a verysmiling coun-
tenance.
We expect a boom ia this township
this spring, bui it is not e. j. o.'s kind
OF a boom.
Mr.. Stick has moved his machinery
from Iowa to this township, for MAX

That Blessed 60 School Law.

-
The territorial school superintendent
and those who suggested and helped
frame the provisions Of the school law
at the last session of the Dakota legiS-
lature, should be presented With leatll-
er medals, and not only that, but they
should be compelled to wear them
where everybody could see them. The
results of the w0rking of this iiiotic
law are now becoming painfully appar-
cnt When the commissioners are set
Ting up the business Of the year. Even
with the most economical management
the current expenses Of q county like
this must reach a considerable amount.
The levy for the county fund, rom
which the running expenses of the
county must be paid, is limited to six
mills. On a valuation of 100000. pro-
videG every dollar of taxes We're co!Iec-
ted, this would give q revenue frr the
county fund ofonly 5000. hisamonnt
is of course totally inadequate. Be-
fore the passage OF the last school law
all licenses and fines We're payable into
t~he'county fund. These licenses and
fines il Pennington county amounted
to from 5000 TO $500 per year. The
school law places all this money in the
common school fund, thus reducing the
county fund revenues forthe year fully
one-halt. But TO heap Injustice upon
injustice. thclaw further proTtdes that
the salaries of the county s~UperintenG-
ent and school township officers shah
be paid for out OF the county fund. IN
View Of these facts it is not strange
that the county indebtedness accumi-
latas. Here ii a subject of needed leg
iSlation. and one that slonid receive
the attention Of our next legislature.
The act should be repealgd, and the
men who framed it should be sent to
back seats where they al never again
needle with The making Of laws. in
the mean time we must grin and bear
It. Black Hills Journal.
