THE WESTERN TEACHER,
Troubles Experienced By Trustees On
account Of Frequent Marriages.

We take pleasure in announcing that
our school board has hired Miss Eunice
Peters to take charge of the recently
organized school. Miss Peters comes
to us from the East highly recon-
mended as an efficient teacher, and we
welcome her to our bustling young
city. The children Of Placer Gulch
are to be congratulated on the pleas
ant and profitable year before them.
With four churches already built, six
more projected, the foundation for the
county jail laid and the best half-mile
race track west Of the Missouri River
we are certainly booming.
