The state has acquired a tract of
forty acres there which has been put

everything in the shape of agricultural
products has been put in. A new brick
building is being erected. which win
be a beauty when completed.
The tract of land known as Wash
ington field covers about 5000 acres of
the finest kind of soil. The water sup
ply comes from the Rio Virgin and it is
often the case for wheat to yield from
forty to seventy-five bushels to the
acre.
The citizens of St. George, the colonel
states. are greatly interested at the
present time in the location of the new
Indian school, for which institution the
government has appropriated $4,000. A
government agent was on the ground
recently but as yet the site of the
school has not been announced. St
Georgeites are in favor of the school
going to Middleton, a village a short
distance out of St. George. There has
been some talk of it going to Majodse,

The players took a rest after the
third inning and watched a foot race.
They came to bat again with that

The faculty in this inning whitewashed
