A Lively Session and MINIS OF
Work.

The World-which, by the way, is the
official paper of Trego county, by reason
of having the largest circulation-wil
have to wait until next week for the
clerks official report of the full proceed
ings of the board of commissioners.
The board met on Monday, and, when
we saw them yesterday forenoon, they
were yet hard at work, trying to complete
during the day the labors of the regular
April meeting.
just now we will jos down few of the
items which they have acted upon:
A new municipal township, named
Riverside, has been carved from the
south ends of Ogallah and Glencoe town.
ships. Its dimensions, not counting the
infinite tons of rich soil below the sur
face are 10x12 miles.
A new township has been formed from
the south end of Collyer township. It is
ten miles square, and will sail under the
the name of Franklin.
In the appeal, taken from the county
superintendent decision, to set section
26, in school district 10, into district 81,
the commissioners refused to interfere.
The petition by people in Wilcox
township, to change the name of that mu-
nicipality to White Rock, was laid on the
table.
The report of Trustee Pershing, which
was unfavorable to the building of a
bridge across Sand draw, north of Big
creek and near Ed. Chalk's place, was
agreed to.
Lawyer Danford appeared for the q.
P. Railway, to urge the board to allow
$3.50 each for three crossings to be built
between Wa-Keeney and Collyer. He
stated that as soon as the allowance was
made the company would begin the
work. Up to yesterday morning, the
commissioners had not taken action in
the matter.

indispensable adjunct to every school
