ACTIVITY IN
LUMBER CIRCLES
Begins Well With the Opening
of Spring. A Good number OF
Contracts Already Made.

1.-THE coming summer will witness
a large number of buildings being
erected in this county, and the lum-
Der will be purchased from Worth
ington. One of the large contracts
that was reported to have been made
by parties in this county for material
at Fulda last year was not carried
out. The same party recently came
to Worthington, placing the contract
here saying that better quality could
be had at lower figure. Thus we
see that the reports to divert trade
from Worthington are erroneous.
The following have recently made
contracts for lumber at this point.

FREE TEXT BOOKS.
The State supt. Favors Their
Adoption and Legislative En-
actment.

The following from the st. Paul
Globe. Superintendent Pendergast
said yesterday that the free text book
system was blessing to the state,
and it would be only a few years un-
til nearly all the first class schools in
the state would have adopted the
free text book plan.
: OF the 5000 schools in the state,
nearly 1000 had adopted the free
text book, and of the number a very
large proportion are in cities, and of
schools ranking among those of the
first grade.
Nearly three tifths of the school
children in the state are now using
the text books, and Superintendent
Pendergast says that it is not at al
Improbable that the next legislature
may succeed in passing law which
would make the adoption of the free
system compulsory.
Last year the matter was preached
in the legislature, but did not meet
with favor owing to the exceptionally
large number of schools that have
taken advantage of the law. During
the LAST year the scheme has gained
favor with the people of the state ii
general.
4 law which would make the adop
ton of the text book compulsory
would, Mr.. Pendergast thinks, be ont
of the best educational laws the mex
legislature could enact.
"Did you know, said Mr.. Fender
CAST, that 1 have yet to receive tn
first complaint against the system
from districts where the plan ha
been tried.'
II have noticed carefully, continued
Mr.. Pendergast, the progress O
schools adopting the free system, ant
in all cases the attendance has in
creased at least 10 per cent. and th
general conduct of the school ha
been better for the change"
"Where school adopts uniform
system of books, every scholar in tn
school is supplied with free text book
just as soon as they enter the schoo
They are thus enabled to 20 to wor
at once, where, under the old system
the purchase is delayed several day:
and oftentimes the children neve

given books which had been use'
by their parents years ago, with tn
excuse, ''if they were good enough

The free text book system ha
given many children an opportunit.
to secure an education, where, il
many cases they would not attent

board of education.
THE system has been in vogue il
this state for four years.. and eacl
term has seen large increase in tn
number of schools adopting it. Tn
expense is borne by the school dist
riot. and imposes little hardship upor
the district, when the great good tn
system aocomplishes is taken int
consideration.
Mr.. Pendergast said that it was al
most the unanimous verdict of edu
Gators that the free text book system
was one of the best advances made il
modern education. The system hat
already proved it's desirability, and
had ceased to be among the frills O
later day educators.

GAME PROTECTION.
What It Has Been Doing for THIS
County the Past Year.

Game Warden Helms is watching
close these days for violators OF the
game law, but he realizes that the
county is so large that he cannot even.
in his daily trips guard the whole OF 1t
as he cannot be in two places at once.
He has, therefore, offered a reward for
information that will lead to the detec-
ton and conviction of violators of the
law. and it will probably have good re-
suits.
Speaking of the good done by game
protection to a Record Union" re-
porter a short time ago, the Waroeh
said: IF you have any doubt that the
game is increasing through being pro-
tected during the close season, take
ride with me on my trip tomorrow.
We will start about daylight and l Will
show you fifteen bevies of quail right
along the road, within fifteen miles OF
this city" "a
The reporter accepted the invitation,
but the start was made little later
than the time set and a number OF
early wagons were met on the road The
boast was so nearly verified, however,
that eight flocks were seen within the
distance mentioned, while the tracks OF
as many more flocks were seen where
they had been scared out Of the road
by the wagons.
1t was a convincing test and con-
trast to the statement made in one Of
the San Francisco papers the. preceding
day that there was no game in one OF
the counties near the bay, where, by the
way, there is no Game Warden, the
Supervisors refusing to appoint one. If
the San Franciscans cannot find
game near home they can come up this
way and spend their money and they
will find good shooting at the proper
season. Plenty of game in a county
or State attracts tourists and sportsmen
and they drop many a dollar among the
residents. Quail promise to be very
plentiful in this vicinity this fall
