A West Side Letter on the Proposed
School District.

Editor of the TRIBUNE: We find pub
lished a labored protest over the names
of the school board of Il school district on
| what is known as "Sun river bench"
When we consider the efforts being
put forth to encourage the development
of the country around Great Falls, such
protest and attempt to hinder those set
tiers from securing what is theirs by
right-a convenient and properly con-
Quoted schools, to say the least, sur
prising.
Admitting, as they do, our right to the
enjoyment of such privileges, what mo-
tive lies behind all this protesting? They
offer to give us the school. What about a
school house? A school house we must
have. Do they propose to bond the whole
district-No. Ito build us a house?
How else? In giving us a school, will
they give us as many months of school as
our allotment of money entities us to?
If they do so, what advantage to the
school of Great Falls can come Of our re-
naming in the present district? The
bond question cannot enter in this mat
ter, as no one disputes the fact that the
district as existing when the bonds were
issued will be held for the payment Of
them.
1t may be as is hinted-that WI petit
TONERS are wanting in intelligence and
integrity, so that we should not be en-
trusted with the management of our
school affars-that they desire to remain
the dispensers to our children what be-
longs to them by right. they plainly tell
US. Why? They say, IN effect, "The
Great Falls school will suffer by your be.
ing set off," which means, I'VE will take
your children's money and use it where
we think best; but while doing SO will
they allow us to have a voice in school
matters; will they give the OUTLYING
schools a member or two of the board? l
trow not; such is not there purpose.
Their ten reasons tor protesting are
gauzy, and-unless taken as a whole
misleading. The key to the protest is,
"We want your school money, and mean
to have it." 1t is to be hoped that the
commissioners will have the nerve to do
as the superintendent of schools advises.
1t is a curious fact that the protest con
tains no quotation of law bearing on the
case, but simply asserts the law requires
so and so; does it? j. G. EPLER.

sPRINGTIME HAS COME,
Interesting Letter From the Upper Belt
District.

UPPER BELT, March 3.-"Tell it not in
GATH" but let the people rejoice that
gentle spring with all its ethereal mild
ness is here. The chinook of Yesterday
carried everything before it, and the
fields and hills that have been snow
bound, ~frost-bound and forty-below-zero-
bound for a most unprecedented time at
this season, are now nearly bare, and we
reasonably (?) hope to be making garden
in a few days. We have had but two
cold snaps this winter,and these have last
ed but a few days. The most extreme cold
has not been felt, as ten and twelve below
zero are in the states beyond the Mis-
sissippi. The thermometer registered at
aeon today in the shade 80 above. Birds
are singing and all nature proclaims that
the winter is ended and spring is surely
here.
MORE NEW BUILDINGS.
-Four new cottages are going up IN the
Michigan colony, and didn't those live
pilgrims spring a trap that would have
astonished v e McGinty's ghost, On the
old timers at Kibbey last Saturday. The
occasion was that of voting on the ques-
tions of appropriating what public money
was due this section to the building of a
$1,000 school house at Kibbey and add
ing four per cent. to the already heavy
taxes of the settlers to provide the bal
ance of the money needed. Both meas
ures were lost by IN overwhelming ma
jorlty of noes. Kibbeyites were astounded,
and when they saw the south township
delegation over forty strong and heard
the result of the ballots they concluded
that the balance of power no longer re-
manned In their hands. 1t was consider
ably the largest vote ever polled at Kib-
hey.
A SEPARATE D1sTR1CT DESIRED.
The injustice of the scheme will be
readily understood when it is known
that the Kibbey school has an average at
tendance Of only seven or eight pupils,
while in this township VIZ have now about
80 children, all of whom are too far from
Kibbey to attend there, We had already
applied for a separate district organlza-
ton and school, VIII oh we need at once
and we fully appreciate the neighborly
spirit that would force us to pay for this
school and either go without ourselves or
maintain one at private expense.
A composite photograph of the dozen
or more solons that were involved
in the transaction would present a
woeful picture of disappointed greed.
varying the old refrain a little, let us
sing:
The right shall sometimes come uppermost,
And justice shall sometimes be done.

ROCKY MOUNTAIN TELEGRAPH CO
Making Progress in Many Directions
Great Falls to be a Repeating
Station.

Supt. L. 0. Leonard of the r. M. Tele-
graph company informs us that his COM
pany expects to build many miles of
extensions this year and in all probability
will connect with the postal line at Spok-
n Falls before the end of the year.
They are now building to Missoula and
will push the line on westward to Spok-
ane without delay. This will complete
the circuit from San Francisco to Great
Falls and the east, through American
territory. At present all messages by
this line to thu east go by way of the Ca
madam Pacific, a long circuitous route.
When this result is accomplished Great
Falls will be the repeating station for all
through business. The Rocky Mountain
will also have the line or the Great Falls
& Canada r. r., and all business east
will 60 that way instead of via Fort As
sinniboine and the lonesome prairie," as
at present. Mr.. Leonard will establish a
repeating office here at once and will add
to his force of operators. NJ. G.
Williams will be in charge of the
wire, while Mr.. Fortier. the present
popular manager, will look after the COM
mercial and general business of the office.
The Rocky Mountain will have the line
on the Neihart branch (now completed to
the end of the track, the Sand Coulee
line, and it is proposed to extend lines to
both the B. g. M. and Montana smelter.
Great Falls will be their most important
telegraph center. Mr.. Leonard has
achieved much success in building up
this new telegraph system, which is prov
ing with its connections, an interesting
competitor fol the Western Union.

AN APPALTION APPEARED TO nRUTUs.
IL saw the White Lady," said the king, as
though speaking To himself and covered his
face with the bed coverings. Next day he
ordered his coffin and made the queen, his
wife, lie in it, in order to see il the size was
right. 1t was his last act of cruelty, for he
died that night
Forty years later Frederick the Great, in
his last sickness Mt Sans Souci, saw the White
Lady, who departed through closed door
And thus she continued TO appear on all
proper occasions till Napoleon Bonaparte hui
inflated Prussia; then she disappeared for
ever, and 80 did nearly all the old family
ghosts Of Germany. The long wars Of i702-
1918 CLOSED the spooks' careers. The peasants
still have a saying that 'Bonaparte killed all
the witches.n
y ghost in stone Is a novelty, indeed; but
any one may sec it any day by going To Bass
HarbOr, near Mt. Desert, Ne. la that viii
liage lived Elias Rich, who was somewhat
fanatical in his way, and was especially con-
cerned that any one should doubt the immor-
tality of the soul. In his last DAYS he pro-
claimed with great earnestness that he would
return from the life beyond and show himself
or do some work to convince the doubters
that he still lived. He died in 1861, and q
smooth white marble slab was erected at his
head in quiet and secluded rural graveyard.
a few months later strange tracings began
to appear on the tombstone They deepened
and darkened slowly till they showed a par
feet outline Of human face and bust
shrunken and cadaverous Of feature, but still
perfect. Stranger still, the intaglio head is
surmounted by phantom crown. Upon a
close inspection this crown resolves itself into
n dark mass that might be taken for hair
rather than a crown; but when viewed from
the highway the lights and shades form a
veritable crown beyond all chance of dispute
To say the least, the whole figure represents
a strange looking object, aud one that makes
the flesh OF even the most skeptical fairly
creep To look at. The country people Of
this section have dubbed 1t "Rich's Spook;"
and there are many of them who would not
pass by it after dark for n deed of the whole
township
The ghosts Of antiquity are familiar TO all
readers. To deny their appearance is to deny
the combined voice Of Scripture, history and
tradition. II the spirits Of the dead did not
appear in Jerusalem, IL the npparitions re-
lated In Josephus did not show and If the
Greeks and Romans saw no ghosts, what
ancient event can we be sure OF, seeing that
the same history testiiies TO alll OF all the
classic tales Of spirits the most affecting. per
haps, Is that related of i3rutus-affecting for
Its extreme simplicity. The apparition spoke
not a word too little OF too much: it had all
the dignity Of dying republican Rome Bru-
tus was alone in his tent writing by a dim
light, all his army asleep; the white form APP
peared in the tent door
