Police Jurors, Take Notice.

There in Grant parish a vast body
OF timber lands held by syndicates
and corporations, whose sole object
is.to denude the land of all timber,
and leave barren waste after the
timber is gone. The only chance the
bona fide residents of the country
have to get any benefits from these
concerns is to tax the land for all it
is worth while the timber remains on
it. The rule in all OF the parishes is
to put taxes on timber lands up to
the top notch. Referring to the late
large raise made by the police Jury of
Avoyelles parish, tho Lake Charles
American has this to say:
"The action of the police iury. in
taxing nonresident land owners on
$4OO, 900 more than last years valua-
tlOn. will not cause any tears to be
shed In CatahOula parish, nor would
an increase OF four times the amount
cause any particular worry. People
who hold on to property i'm this par
ish, expecting the labor and enterprise
OF those who are already here. to i'm
crease the value of their holdings.
ought to pay their full share of the
taxes: Some of them have never spent
a dollar, nor ever expect to spend a
dollar, to help along The work of i'm
prOvement, except what the tax col
iector takes away from them. We
nave no fault to find with those who.
though absent in person. are helping
or have helped in the work of devel- |
opment; but the assessor should be |
careful not to under estimate the |
value Of the property of those who
expect to thrive by Others labor"

COUNTY SCHOOLS.
Convention Of school Officers
and Discussion Of Prac-
tical Methods.

The county superintendent has
been interesting himself in
meeting of the district school
officers for nearly year past.
His plans eliminated in the long
desired meeting last Saturday
at the court house in Milbank.
Of the 125 officers in the county,
there were about half present.
The attendance was gratifying,
for many of them came from fiji
teen to twenty five miles.
Sup't Ramer acted as chair
man; Mr.. E. M. Harper was elect
ed secretary. Mr.. A. L. Partridge
gave very interesting and pro
titable talk on compulsory Ed
ucation, /" urging officers to look
after this part of their duties.
There was considerable profitable
discussion.
Supplementary Reading was
than very ably handled by Mr..
G.. S. Amsden.
Officers were urged in the dis
cussion to secure supplementary
reading books at district expense
for at least the first three grades.
Our whole education system is
undermined by the fact that
pupils do not read intelligently.
Mr.. w. H. Gaynor, handled the
present condition of the school
houses in the country very plain.
ly, telling Of some existing con-
ditions that were perhaps, not al
together welcome, as it reflect
ed on the way matters are look
ed after in some places. His
talk was, however, practical,
dealing with truths, and should
be spur to get things in better
condition for the future. he
showed his fearlessness in treat
ing the subject as he did.
After dinner, Mr.. NJ. A. Hagen,
discussed "Monthly Examina-
TONS" His talk was profitably
discussed by men of different
beliefs regarding the matter.
Mr.. Emmett McCollum deliv-
cred an able address on the sub
ject of Teachers Salaries He
| contended that teachers ale like
any commodity The better they
are paid, the better they will be.
AS it is, there are not teachers
enough to select from and officers
are compelled to engage those
that offer themselves. Many OF
the better teachers go into some
other vocation each year as the
pay is not sufficient to sustain
them in the teachers profession.
Mr.. McCollum moved that so
far as second and first grade
teachers were concerned, that
the demand Of the teachers be
granted; that we do not want
third grades. This seconded.
Then Mr.. Hagen moved as an
amendment that it be the sense
of this body of officers that good
teachers should be better paid.
The amendment was seconded
. and carried.
! Mr.. Geo. Mitchell discussed
) the free text book matter; much
valuable discussion followed. 1t
was quite generally conceded
that free text books would DC
t much cheaper and more effec-
: tive than the present plan.
The question box was openec
/ and several very useful ques
v tions answered.
Sup't. RameI expressed nj

meeting. Itwasadjourned hth'

: derived by all present, Whlci

The wheat crop Of Grant
county with that of the whole
northwest has been badly affect
ed by the drouth that has been
pretty universal over Minnesota,
North and South Dakota. Just the
amount Of damage which the ecrop
in this locality has suffereditwould
be difficult to estimate looking at
any particular locality, for there
are spots where it will be a use
less matter to drive harvester
over the ground, and then again
there is quite large area that
with favorable conditions during
the balance of the season only q
partial crop will be harvested.
The probabilities are that air eady
the crop prospects in this county
have been reduced one-half, and
| that taken as a whole hardly one.
half an ordinary crop will be
harvested.
