The Question OF EIeCtIng a South SIDE
School Trustee Being AgItaIed.

A number of south-sIde citizens were
at the Clark hose house last evening, for
the purpose of discussing the school
situation and the possibility of having a
representative elected at the annual meet
ing on Monday next.
A meeting of the newly organized
branch of the boilermakers' ASSOCIATION
had been called at the same place at the
same time. and it was decided to adjourn
the school meeting until tonight after
some informal discussion as to candidates.
The South Side is thoroughly aroused
on the question of representation in the
school boa I'd. That portion Of the city is
growing more rapidly than any other.
Just at the present time more real estate
is being sold there to prospective home
builders than in any other part of town.
The completion Of the vladuct will give
the south side a genuine and substantial
forward move. But nothing is being
done or considered towards having the
school facilities and accommodations in
crease proportionately. At one of the
schools the attendance is so large that
halliday sessions only can be held, half of
the pupils attending 10 the morning and
half in the afternoon.
The South Side people say If they had
a representative on the board something
might be done toward giving the South
Side the same consideration as is shown
other parts OF the CITY. They do not in
sIst that their representative live on the
South Side, but they desire some n
elected who understands their interests
and who will work for them in school
matters. The names mentioned for the
place were John Roberts and Thomas A.
Reid. Neither OF these men live on the
South Side, but both are considered rep
resentative men of that part of the com
munity, and in either of them the rail-
road people have confidence and would
eswillIng to place their interests in their
hands. Mr.. Roberts has heavy property
interests south of the track and possesses
the confidence and respect of all classes
Mr.. Reid. also is a representative of every
workingman and railroader in that part of
tine city. As a city councilman, legislator,
member of the constitutional convention
he has always stood up for the laboring
man.
1t was expressed by all who spoke of
the matter last evening that either of
these men would be acceptable to the
South Side and tonight meeting may de,
eide to present the name Of one of them
as the candidate for the South Side on
Monday.

Thought 1t Was a Big Ranch

A ranchman living on the Cheyenne &
Northern visited Cheyenne yesterday
and brought his son, a boy of -, with
him. 1t was the first time the boy had
ever ridden on a railway train and the first
time he had ever seen a town larger
than Wendover or Bordeaux. When
the train stopped at Fort Russell the boy
could hardly find words to express his sur
prise at seeing so many houses, but when
they reached Cheyenne he was paralyzed
with astonishment. Father, he said,
as the train pulled into the depot, "a
ranch like this must have an awful lot Of
cattle"
