1t is a strange freak of nature OBJ
servable on the school grounds. A
box elder tree about six inches in
diameter was dropped about two feet
when the grounds were graded in the
summer, and the tree cast its leaves
very early. During the past two
weeks it has put out a fresh growth
which the severe frosts neither checked
nor killed, and they are as fresh as in
the spring, and almost half grown.
The tree seemed to have gotten be.
wildered by the change made in it.

great enterprise. That is the trans
formation of the old silver smelter OF

The fall rains have made the roads
very muddy, but they could be greatly

sufficient channel to the road side to
drain them; and other places where
the center of the read is lower than the
sides. demanding the brief service of a
road machine. 1t would pay the farm
ers in every road district to give lit
tie attention to the road this fall.
