These Ho1landers make good settlers
and there are already several colonies
on the Sound. which have come out
from the Middle states and located or
VIII libby Island and other points. By
| the expenditure of a few hundred dol
lars in seeding logged lands just after
fire has run through, it soon affords
good stock range, besides improving
the appearance of the lands; and the
Mill Companies and others holding
large bodies of land can more readily
find market for their lands when they
wish to sell. They also do stroke fo1

The recent decision of the Supreme
Court against the constitutiona1ity of
the law allowing County Superlntend-
ents SIS for each school visited, is quite
a blow on that officer in the smaller
counties, but Supt. Gunderson says he
will continue to visit the schools as be-
fore. In the large counties, it was
possible for the superintendents to
visit half dozen schools in one day,
and this coupled with mileage and the
large salary, made it fine thing, but
great injustice to the taxpayers. In
Mason County the salary of that officer
is but $500 per pear, but the last legis-
lature increased it to $500 to take effect
next year. Supt. Gunderson visited
the schools in the vicinity of Dewatto
this week. Mileage at ten cents a
mile will hardly pay his actual trans
portation expenses, to say nothing of
living expenses during the three days
required for the "trip, SO it can readily
be seen how the decision operates on
| the superintendent in the less pop
| u1ous counties.
