WILL SHORTEN II SCHOOL YEAR.
Board Decides This is Preferable 10
RehMcinE SnImries.

Reducing Salaries.
The school board held a long meeting last
night for the discussion of matters pertain
ing to the coming school year and finally
decided to reconsider the boards action and
shorten the school year to nine months.
The matter was brought up by Mr.. Thomas,
who stated that there was a demand and a
necessity for general retrenchment and
economy. There were two ways In which
this could be accomplished; one was to
shorten the school year and the other was
TO make a general cut of 8 per cent on all
salaries. He was personally on the fence.
He would vote for either proposition. He
had made inquiries and found that most of
cities in the west were having but nine
months school.
Mr.. Robertson was in favor OF economy and
preferred shortening the year rather than
cutting salaries, Mr.. Snyder and Mr.. Spruit
We're both in favor Of having as long a
school year as possible, but in view of the
necessity for economy, would vote to shorten
the year. Finally the motion formerly
passed was reconsidered and the board de
cided to shorten the school year TO nine
months.
T. X. Winter. who was elected janitor
the High school, rendered his resignation.
former ianitor, elected to fill the vacancy.
The salaries of the teachers and ~janitors
were then fixed for the ensuing year.
The president and secretary of the board
were instructed to be present at the Bloouer
school on Saturday, at a meeting of the
teachers with contracts prepared for their
signatures.

Coal dealers and the consumers who have
to buy are worry much exercised over the
prospect Of excessively high rates for hard
coal this winter. Last year at this season
the best hard coal was selling for 81 a ton,
and 1t reached as low a figure as $3.50. At
the present tiHc $9.75 is the lowest price
quoted. Dealers have withheld their orders
in the hope that a drop in freight rates
would occur that would give them some of
the advantages they enjoyed last year, but
there has been no drop, and none is in
sight. While waiting for better rates whole
sale prices In eastern markets have been
steadily rising until 60 cents a ton has been
added to the early summer prices. Not
enough coal has been bought 20 make one
winter days supply. and while the dealers
are waiting prices are climbing still higher.
Unless there Is a break in freight rates $40
and $l1 coal will be on the market this
winter for the first time in ten years.
