DAVIS COUNTY CONTEST.
Proposition to Consolidate School
Districts Meets Opposition.

Proposition to Consolidate School
Districts Meets Opposition.
Pennington, Jan. 1.-THE county
commissioners heard arguments today
for and against the petition of John H.
Coles and Il others asking that the 18th
and 18th school districts of Davis
county be consolidated. J. H. Coles,
James Warren, w. H. BeaZer, Henry
Williams and w. H. Miller were heard
in favor of the petition. a strong re-
monstrance was made by D. K. Egg
bert, Peter Christensen and David Cal
ley on behalf of residents of the 18th
district. 1t was shown that while the
property valuation of the 18th was
sIS1. 00O as against $4,000 in the 18th,
the bulk of the voting population is in
the latter district, and hence amalga-
nation would result in the weaker dis
trict financially debating TO the
also in the choice of sites for school
buildings. County Superintendent
Porter spoke in favor of consolidation,
and after an informal conference
among the commissioners the matter
went over until next Monday, when a
decision will be rendered by the board.
This afternoon another important pc
tfuiOn was presented, asking that Clear
field and Syracuse precincts be united
The territory involved in this petition
is practically the same as that en-
braced within the school districts men
toned above, and the contest was
based upon about the same facts. This
petition also went over for one week.
NOTES.
A marriage license was issued today
to Hyrum B. Parlkin, aged %, of South
Bountiful, and AIillesant Parrish, aged
10 of West BOuntiful.

A Flag on Jumbo.

Missoula, Sept. 15.-There is a" flag
flying from the top of Noun Jumbo
to-day from n tall staff planted at the
summit last night by a party that
scaled the mountain after sunset and
came down i'm the darkness. On the
way up a stop was made near the base
to cut a pole, and a sapling about 20
feet long was selected for this. 1t was
easy to cut and trim this and the par
ty proceeded upward. The ascent, in
Guiding the time spent i'm cutting the
tree, required an hour and % minutes.
When the top was reached, red fire was
set off and the flag was raised with
proper ceremony. The red fire burned
out and he men came down in the
dark. They missed their way and came
down a portion of the distance in a
hurry, sliding down a steep descent
and tearing their clothes and skin.
They were not seriously injured, and
reached the city all right. but slightly
d~isfigured. The party consisted of
