Standard Has Risen.
rom the Monroe Journal.

From the Monroe Journal
 Prof. J. L. Dodson, chairman of the State Board of Examiners, discussing the public school questions declares that the standard of efficiency as concerns teachers in the public schools has been greatly elevated under the operation of the new examination law. On the first examination the board was forced to issue low grade certificates or depopulate the schools. At each subsequent examina- ton the papers submitted have shown steady improvement until now when third grade papers practically equal the second grades of two years ago. The last legis- lature so amended the law as to raise the standard still higher.

Street Commissioner Brolin Has Solved

Especial to Inter MOuntain)

Especial to Inter Mountain)
Anaconda, Dec. 11.-Street Commits
sioner George Brolin has solved the prob
lem Of cleansing the streets of snow, and
in manner which will meet the hearty
approval of every citizen of Anaconda.
Mr.. Brolin made an effort to induce
every property owner to clean the snow
from walks passing their premises with
out expense to the city.
This plan has not proven feasible, some
people have refused fatty to remove any
snow from sidewalks at all, no mat
ter how deep it happens to get.
The device arranged by the street
commissioner consists of plows, made in
w" shape, of heavy planks 1t is
proposed to hitch team of horses to
the plow and drive along the snow
covered walks.
This system was adopted in Salt Lake
City several years ago and there proved
to be a great success.
The method is inexpensive ana does
away with many unpleasant duties which
the commissioner has had to perform,
heretofore.

Bees for Use in War.

y From Russia, by way of the British
war office. comes suggestion to the eff
feet that honey bees be tried as military
messengers in place of homing pigeons.
1t was urged that for such purposes
they would be preferable to the birds in
more than one way, inasmuch as they
could hardly be intercepted, and it would
certainly be out of the question for the
most skllful marksman to hit such a
carrier of intelligence.

the latter were transferred by micro pho-

This piece of paper might be fastened
to the insects back and on the arrival
of the little messenger at it's destina-
ton the writing could easily be enlarged.
The homing instinct of the bee is as
strong as that of a pigeon, and its
method of finding it's way to it's hive is
the same as that whereby the bird gets

Quiet Reigns Around the Justice Mills

Especial to Inter MOuntain.)
Anaconda. Dec. 1.-THE number of ar
rests in this city during the past few
weeks has been remarkably small and
justice courts, as well as the police court,
are almost entirely free from the trials
of petty offenders.
Another noticeable feature is the alb
sence of DRINKS on the streets. AS rule
on paydays the number of offenders is
larger than usual but for the past three
months the criminal business even at
these times has been small. There can
be no reason advanced for this. 1t always
seems to go in spurts; in all probability
there will be a rush some day and the
police force will find plenty to do.
One year ago this time the saloons We're
crowded every night with men who had
no other place to stay.
This year it is much different. Men OF
this kind are in the minority or as the
police express it. 1.-The town is clear OF

The sweetest and purest play ever

Acres" which is to have fine scenic
production at the Margaret theater to-
morrow night and the success it has
gained throughout the country during
the past nine years is justly deserved.
Those who are familiar with it's manifold
beauties have compared it to the poems
of celebrated poet and speak of it as a
pretty and truthful story of human life,
in which there appears at no time any
evidence of stage device or claptrap to
offend the artistic senses of the audience.
