This has been much improved by the con-
struction of a water line and the erection
of fire hydrants at various places about
the grounds. which together with the
necessary hose and small force pump,
yet to be procured will leave the instt-
tuition well provided for in case of fire.
The moving of Earns, sheds and other

The necessity OF suitable building on

THE IRON SPRINGS.
How it is Being Made a Pleasant Sub
 urb of PheniX,

An erroneous idea of the project of the Iron Spring Outing company seems to have sprung up. Many people be- lieve that it is an exclusive organiza- tiOn.

Any person of responsibility is eligible to membership
 Many families of Phenix are arrang- ing to take up a summer residence there and a few are there now. among whom are JerryMillay and wife, w k. James and family A. w Byers wife and children. Frank Alkire's family MT. Grouse and family. O, H. Christy and family and Rev. c. Y. Cowan and family.

Arrange
 ments have also been made for the en- tertainment of the Indian School band during the outing season and concerts
