Appoints Committee at Special
Meeting to Devise Ways and
Means-Executive Session Follows
to Elect School Teachers-Procee

Regular Meeting Saturday Even
ing.

The school board met in special ses-
sion last night TO discuss the proposed
demonstration of the school children
during the semi-centennial celebra-
ton.
All the directors were present when
President Hughes called the meeting
to order and announced the purpose of
the special call. The proposition of the
children appearing on parade was
taken up and discussed at length. The
opinion favoring the participating in
the jubilee celebration was unanimous,
but the directors We're at a loss as to
how to proceed. Like councils, the
school board was prohibited, by law
from contributing anything 10 the gen.
erai fund; the idea would have to he
carried out in way that would not
conflict with the authority and pawer
of the board. Accordingly a commit
tee, comprising Messrs. Kerwn, Swi-
CERT and Gallagher, was named TO de-
wise ways and means and report at the
next meeting of the board.
Immediately after the special session
the reporters had to withdraw, for the
hoard went into executive session to
dispose of, If such be possible the cleo
-
year
1t will be recalled that the board at
its last meeting became deadlocked
over the election of a principal, and
later in the same meeting there was a
deadlock over the three or four teach
ers whose names were also proposed.
When 1t appeared that the whole corps
of teachers would be embraced in the
deadlock adjournment was taken un-
til last night. Thes was a repetition
Of last years trouble over the election

MARSHES WILL BE DRAINED.
important Decision Handed Down BY
Judge Webb.

Judge Webb.
Grand Raopids, Wis, Oct. 9.--Judge
Charles NJ. Webb yesterday handed
down his decision in the Remington
drainage case, granting the prayer of
the petitioners.
This decision is of great terest to
Wood county as it means the opening
up for colonization of 500 square miles
of marsh land now practically use
less. The land will be drained and
converted into farms. The drainage
canals will be six and ten miles in
length one to empty into the yellow
river and the longer one into the Ju.
neau county drainage canal.
Early settlers and cranberry grow
ers in particular, are deeply interested
in the subject of draining the great
cranberry marshes to the southwest
of Grand Rapids. Years ago these
marshes produced great quantities of
wild cranberries, but the forest fires
that have swept over the district year
after year have destroyed fully 95 per
cent. of the vines, so that today the
marshes are useless for this purpose.
though this condition applies to wild
cranberries only. In this district are
several large marshes of cultivated
cranberries that are in most thriving
condition. The drainage Of the wild
marshes can in no wise affect the Gran.
berry and will open up 500 square
miles Of fine farming land which is at
present only a useless waste.
