To thsSvoters Of School District No. !,

TO thSVoters Of School District No. i.
Thinking that you nave ere this
seen or heard of the notices posted
IN regard to High school building,
wish to say few words in reference
to the same.
First let me say that your schoo
board has deferred asking you fol
the "where-with" to build, until il
has become positive necessity so to
do. Many of you, perhaps most Of
you, already know the crowded con.
dition of our school buildings and
that because of lack of proper build.
ings, we are obliged to use two old
buildings wholly unfit in every way
for school purposes.
Now it is for YOU to say whether
we may have the means to build this
much needed building and we ask you
to please look into the subject fairly
and honestly.
Remember it is for your children's
good that We ask it and don't let the
word bonds frighten you over
much.
Perhaps you say you have no child
rem, or they are already out of school.
n.
Did no one make provision for YOUR
education or for your grown up
children? Have you no duty to do
in passing it on? You never had
a High school education" then know
ing what you missed you will surely
be interested in helping others miss
it not.
You say, eff we have High school
building how will that relieve the
grades% Because our High school
could then give up the rooms it now
occupies, which were intended for
grades, and which are as inconveni-
ent for High school purposes as you
can well imagine.
Now, as to the bonds; the school
law provides for the issuing of bonds
to run for Is years, the first pay
ment to be made in FIVE years; sup
pose this district were bonded for
twenty thousand dollars at FIVE per
cent, how much difference would it
make in the average persons tax?
At the assessed valuation of the
district, $4,000 it will be about
one mill on dollar. Calling the
average person worth fifteen thous-
and dollars, this will increase his tax
five dollars year. being assessed on
one-third value, and a goood High
School building will add more than
to the value of his property.
Then when it comes to payment of
the principal the increased valuation
of the district and increased popula-
tion will make the tax not much, if
any, more.
We have now one hundred and
sixty pupils in the High school, six
teen or seventeen of whom expect to
graduate this year, leaving about one
hundred and forty-three, to be in
creased in number by from sixty to
eighty who will enter next year from
the grades and new pupils, so that
there will be seventy-five or eighty
High school pupils next September
without any roof to cover them for
school purposes. The need is i'm
perative.

TWO MEN BEHEADED.
They Laid Down to Sleep on the Railroad
Tracks Near Hanover

Elrino Chavez and Leon Mora, were
run over by the Santa F'e train and
were decapitated near Hanover, on
Tuesday evening, besides being other
wise horribly mangled. Mora it is un-
derstood, was engaged to a step
daughter of Chavez, and the wedding
was to have taken place Wednesday.
Both men were celebrating in anticipa-
ton of the joyful event and We're
drinking heartily during the evening at
the different resorts in the camp. Some
time early in the evening they started
down the Santa Fe track leading to
Hanover and when just outside the
limits of Fierro, they laid down to
"sleep off" the effects of their dissipa-
ton. AS it was long past train time it
is supposed they thought the train had
passed, but unfortunately it was eight
hours late that evening. The train
came along before 10 O'Clock but the
heavy rumble failed to arouse the sleep
ers and the entire train passed over
their PROSTATE bodies. The remains
We're not discovered until early We'd
nesday morning by men going to work.
Both bodies We're headless and were
otherwise horribly mangled. The men
