We had another very successful debate
on Wednesday evening. The large
school house was crowded to its utmost
capacity. Songs, readings and Rotations
were given. The subject for debate was,
resolved: There is more pleasure in
anticipation than realization. The de-
cision was rendered in favor of the Mega

resolved: That incompetence is a greater

1t will be remembered by the readers
of your valuable paper, that an article on
the future welfare of our school was pub.
lisled, in which reference was had to
non-residents. Now the school board
has tried to carry measure to build a
school and pay cash for the same, but
being strongly opposed by the clerk.
Now. if the board will read the school
laws of this Territory they will find out
that they have no authority to do the
same. 1t now appears that they are liy-
ing OH government lands. and BY paying
cash for the school house they would only
have to pay very small share of the
school tax.
