show what they were saying. But
we soon found that if we were. to
publish all the compliments received
there would be nothing eiss in.this
issue of the RECORD, SO numerous and
so fattering have the compliments
been. Following are some of the
opinions expressed the first day; must
cut the others out.
But after all the compliment that
counts most both for Us and for the
town is to have people send copies
away. We still have a number which
we are selling at ten cents a copy,
wrapped for. mailing when desired.
Every person in Canon City ought to
send few copies east.

EiGhty-Fiyc Districts In Redwood
County Have school Libnries. s
In his annual report to the state
superintendent of schools Supt. Race
of Redwood county, after reporting OIL
the total attendance, which was 4,64s,
and touching on ventilation of rural
school houses, reports that Redwood
county rural schools had eighty-fve
out Of 101 districts equipped With school
libraries last year. This year thirty.
one rural schools will come in for the
state aid of 500 to each district, the
largest number of any county in the
state. Last year Redwood county re
ceived state aid for 'twenty-seVen,
which Blue Earth county reported as
having tied, but one district Of the lat
ter county was cut out, and Redwood
was given first place last year.
Mr.. Race reports that ninety-eight
out of the 101 districts in the county
have free text books, at an eyerage
cost per pupil OF only IS cents. He Is
a strong advocate of the system, oW-
ing to it being much cheaper to the
parents and to the district. and as be-
ing instructive to the pupils to be as
careful as possible of sthe books. Hs
also advocates more months of school
in the rural districts.
Last year Redwood county teachers
We're paid Sal 600. an average of S4l pei
month for males and $3S per month Tor
females. The total cost of Redwood
county schools for last year was $1S,-
900. Mr.. Race makes the following inn
portant recommendation on school dis
trict consolidation:
"There is all over this state move
nlent to still further uplift the rurat
schools by consolidation of several
schools in township into one graded
school, transporting the pupils by
teams. The plan has been tried in ONO,
Indiana and Michigan with marked
success There is no real good reason
why pupils in the country should not
be given as good schools as 1t is pos
sible to give. I can easily see now
four or five districts could unite. II the
territory were not too extended, and a
school house could be built with TOUR
rooms and four good teachers hired.
They certainly could do better work
than four teachers In four separate
school buildings. There would be the
same number of grades, but there
would be a teacher for each two
grades A good graded school IN
rural community. as well as anywhere
else, would be good investment.

IT have taken up the matter with
the authorities at Washington. The
only remedy would appear to be FOX
the government to round up all the
Indians on the reservation and insist
upon vaccination and proper treat

'There seems to be no abatement or
smallpox throughout the state. In

There are some strange features to
the timber market at Duluth and to
the position of head-of-the-lake lum-
bermen. During the past season from
time to time timber tracts favorably
located for saving at Duluth or Su-
perior have been sold to men located
further away and whose logging costs
for the logs must be in excess OF those
that would be met If the logs were
brought here. Still it has been the
fact time and again that the more dis
tant logger has been able to pay a
price for the timber that the Duluth
man has not seen his way clear to
offer, and many millions of feet have
been sold for mills some distance Off

purchase Of timber by mills some dis

then referred to the log rates of the

were unnecessarily high. He thought
that at the present discrimination be-

would be fostered and the logging
traffic to Duluth would decline.
