 A trustee of one of the outside school
 districts interested in the High Sohooi
 writes the High School Board Rs fol-
 lows: ''I wish to express for myself and
 this end of the valley our confidence in
 you to select suitable location for the High School building. We are equally interested with Phoenix and other con- tiguoue school distriote, in the High School. We are impressed with the propFiety and economy of purchasing the Churchill property foP the purpose. You are in position to decide whether that fine building can be utilized for school purposes, If 1t can be, the locs- sion is as good as can be chosen and the price is satisfactory. The building we'll and substantially built has cost much more than is asked for the whole prop erty and the fine block of land, well located, Is thrown in. If the purchase of suitable property for public use at half price is '.jobbery." the Territory and county can stand it and may well commend it's public servants for having such ''jobs." Public servants who get i the most and the best for the money voted for public use suit the people and i they com mend them and will sustain i them"

IN view of the sending of the special ambassadors to the jubilee and other expressions of good will and smity to- ward Great Britain, it is interesting Go note thss this government has been twisting the Lions tail In good old fashioned American style. In few deys the President will send to Congress correspondence relating to the seal fish cries which Is being closely guarded by the State Department. The most im- portant dispatch bears date of May 10, '97 and is in the foam of instructions to Col. Hay, Ambassador at London. This dispatch in very polite and diplomatic language charges the English govern ment with evasion, duplicity. and bad faith in carrying out the terms of the Paris award in the Boring csee The administration believes this dispatch will, when made public, create ss much popular approval as did MT.

MIR. CLAUS SPREcKELs in a exhaustive discussion of the beet sugar industry, written for the Pacifc Rural Press of July 10, says concerning the production of the sugar beet and the money in it for bhe formers:
 Contracts are made which guarantee the payment of s4 per ton for beets de- liveFed at the factory. Land adapted d to sugsE-beet growing will average four- teen OF fifteen tons to the acre, from which the farmer will realize about S6o. The cost varies with varying conditions and localities, but will in general range from $50 to $40 per acre. The farmer will ihus net from $2O to s3O per acre on his crop. No grain crop can be oom- pared with she sugar beet for results. A single example will suffice to show this. A particular tract of 225 acres planted to barley returned $I2.75 per acre, but when planted to beets netted $59. .33. Last seasons operations at Wstsonville show an average of s56 .24 per acre, gross returns, on the whole crop of over 10000 tons. The average
