Free Text Books,

The discussion of the last few
months in regard to free text
books, combined with the recon.
mendation of the county board
OF education,is bearing some tan
gible results. Many of the dis.
tricts have already circulated the
petitions and in several of the
districts the school boards have
taken action by passing resolu.
tions to adopt the system.
There is a slight misunder.
standing in some places as to
the next step after the petitions
have been filed. In several cas-
es the petitions were sent to the
county superintendent. This
should not be done The petition
is for the local school board, and
is authority of the patrons for
the adoption of the system. The
next thing after the board has
decided in favor of free books is
to order the books. This will be
place where the superintend-
ent may be of some aid. In gen
eral the mum ber of books needed
will have to be gauged by the
last teachers term report. If
the board is in doubt as to the
number of each kind of textbook
to order it will be well to give
the superintendent a chance to
aid in the matter. The schools
of Grant county are going to
stand at the head of the schools
of the state for the coming year.
for this is the only county heard
from that is making a wholesale
business of free books. 1t is a
step that will certainly make the
schools a great deal more efficient,
and 1t is hoped every district
will fall in. Co. SUPT.

The Harvest.

Grant county is on the eve OF
one of the finest harvests II
has ever gathered. A ride in
the country at any time during
the several weeks past would
quickly convince an observer
that the growing season this
year had been all that could pos.
sibly be desired. Field after
field of wheat. oats, corn, fax,
barley, etc, all presented the
same thrifty appearance. Much
barley and oats have already
been cut, and next week the
binder will be very numerously
found in the field, although the
wheat is not yet ready for the
sickle. The outlook is promis
ing for a bountiful harvest.

MAJESTIC coMPANY's SHELTER.
Deeds to New Site Filed For Record
in Beaver City.

The Majestic company's smelter viii
be located at Tadpole springs, three
miles south of Milford. The company
has purchased 100 acres of land from
L. +. Myers of MinersviIle for 1000
the tract taking In the springs and
adjacent ground, The money was paid
over TO Mr., Myers this week by County
Clerk William Hurst, acting as Mr.
Lewis agent, and the deed placed on
record IL conveys the land to Josiah
Osborne, the Majestic company's su-
perintendent. but ii is known that the
purchase was made by Mr.. Lewis for
the Majestic company.
There is no positive official informa-
ton that the smelter win be located
upon this tract. but it is the general
belief that such will be the case. II is
stated that Mr.. Lewis, upon the occa-
sion Of his last visit 10 Milford. said
that the smelter would be located some
distance from the present town and
that new town would be started.
The site is considered a good one for
smelter purposes. The springs afford
an abundant supply of water. which, il
is believed, can be greatly increased if
necessary The land is close to the
railroad. and is nearer to the mines of
the Star district than to the .. K and
Old Hickory. but is easily accessible
from all points.
Some people at Milford believe that
Mr.. Lewis located the smelter at such
distance from the present town be-
cause of some personal difficulties with
some Of MilfOrd's citizens. but those
who profess 10 know declare that the
site was selected with sole reference TO
its commercial advantages, and that
sentimental considerations did not
enter into the matter. Opinions differ
as to whether the present town Will h,
benefited or injured by the location OF
the plant at such n distance. but the
opinion prevails that a new town will
be built up around the plant. wherever
ii is located.
Should the railroad company build a
depot at the smelter it will bring Bea-
Yer three miles nearer TO the railroad.

GOLD PROPERTY BONDED.
J. c. Dick Acquires Valuable Group
Not Far From Beaver CITY.

]. c. Dick, the we'll known civil and

where he succeeded in acquiring the
Daisy group of five claims under a

thing.
Previous to going down into Beaver

clares. he saw some most promising
properties, and he has no doubt that
when the railroads penetrate il many
big mines will be developed.
