From interviews had with prominent

that they are anxious to have the Ameri-

visit Chill and investigate fully ALI mat
ters relating to the differences between
the two countries. Minister Pedro
Montt has cabled from Washington his

NEWS FROM COUNCIL BLUFFS
Action of the School Board in Discharg-
ing Teachers Causes Trouble.
THEIR FRIENDS WISH AN EXPLANATION
Property Owners Request Educational Fa-
cilitics for Cut-OT Island-May Sell
the City's Interest In
That Locality,

The action of the school board IN selecting
teachers for the ensuing year has caused
great deal of dissatisfaction on account OF
the sweeping change that was made. Out OF
the seventy teachers employed last year only
about forty-tiye were retained, the rest being
dropped on one pretext or another. About
dozen of those who were lost in the final
shuttle are considered among the best
teachers In the schools. and their friends
arc inquiring tho reason for this. SO far
there has been no answer TO the question.
In yesterdays report of the school board
lack OF space prevented the mention. OF
suggestion made by Superintendent Sawyer
In his monthly report. He wants to nave an
evening school started under the direction OF
the school board, for the benefit of people
who are now engaged In business but but
lack of early education. He has
been trying to instil this idea into the minds
OF the mem bers OF the board for pear past.
but some OF them opposed 1t on tho ground
that such scheme would cause the district
too great an expense. Superintendent, Saw
yer, however, is an ardent supporter OF the
plan and will probably keep after the di-
rcctors until his opinions on the subject are
recognized.
The question of locating school house on
Cut OF island under the direction of the
Council Bluffs school board, is again being
ngtated. c. H. Keith Is one of
the foremost in making tho de-
mund. He claims that there are
thirty -eighV children in that part of Cutoff
island belonging to Iowa absolutely without
school privileges. The uncertainty of the
boundary line has prevented any definite
action from beng taken heretofore, but now
that that difficulty Is out of
tho way there will probably be
something done in the near future.
l.. M. Shubert has been directed to see that
the property owners put their demands and
the reasons therefor In n tangible FORM AS
soon as this is done the whole board. with
the superintendent and Engineer Thomas
Tcstevin, will look over the ground with a
view TO seeing what Is best to be done.

Nyadts to Improve Big Lake

A scheme is on foot to make some i'm
provements in Big lake that will make it one
Of the finest resorts in the west, unless the
plans of the promoters of the enterprise fail.
w. A. Mynster, who owns large
amount of real estate in the vicinity
of the lake, has prepared resolution
which will ne presented for action to the
council Mt a meeting to be held next Friday
evening. The resolution requests Congress
man Bowman TO do all in his power TO get
bill through congress authorizing tho park
commissioners OF Council Bluffs TO
sell part or all of the
land belonging to Council Bluffs on
the west side OF the Missouri river, the pro-
ceeds to to devoted TO making such improve
ments on the lake as may be deemed neces-
sary.
The idea of making Big Lake park into
pleasure resort is one that has been favored
by the park commissioners for q long
time past but lack of funds has
prevented anything from being done The
natural beauty of the lake and Its surround
Jugs could DO greatly enhanced by the judi
cious expenditure Of q comparatively small
amount OF money. There arc about $50
acres of land belonging to the city on the
west side of the river, which it is claimed,
could be sold for enough to pay for large
amount of the proposed improvements A
motor line to Big lake was projected some
time ago by Mrs. Maria MINISTER, but the
plan fell through on account of the refusal
of the city council to grant a charter. 1t is
likely than the project will be brought up
again in case the resolution presented by
MINISTER passes the council.

renewed efforts be made to re-establish a

continued strife of the Irish factions. He
urged that concessions be made on

stituencies in the approaching general

1t is estimated that the liberals will have

yesterday. "This article says that at the
present price of feed it costs about $50 per
month to train q horse, and when 1t Is taken
into consideration that there are about
500 horses in training in tine county
it will be seen that the training of horses
alone circulates about $50, 900 a month among

try, and at the present time there are over
1000 racing horses at st. Louis. and which
