High School Library Day.

1t has been the practice In this
school to set apart one day of the
year as Library Day" On this
day the children are allowed to con-
tribute as many pennies as they are
years of age, and, In this manner,
many new books have been Sc
cured for the library Yesterday
was set as Library Day" and S42
was contributed for the purchase
of new books. A program was
rendered and all participants ac-
Quilted themselves nobly. The
music was exceptionally good and
the High School in the opening
song certainly gave The visitors a
roval welcome.
One number worthy Of special
commendation was the Grafton OF
Robert Flnlayson on The Value of
a High School Education. He
showed In such appropriate terms
the practical value that he must
surely have convinced some OF the
students of the lower rooms to enter
High School upon conclusion Of
their work In grammar grades.

Transcript of Extradition Proceedings
Received From England.
Whatcom, Wash, March 24.-The
transcript of the extradition proceed
ings in the case of H. st. John Dix,
charged with wrecking two banks in
this country, were received today
from London and show the reports
sent out from London relative to the
decision of the court of the kings
bench ON his appeal against extradi-
ton, to have been erroneous, in that
they state that it was refused on the
charges of receiving money, knowing
the bank to be in a failing condition"
There were three indictments of this
kind and while extradition was refus-
ed on two, it was granted on the
third. The state was proceeding on
the basis Of the press reports and the
petitioner was expecting that the
transcript procured before the trial
had been entered upon never dream
ing that it contained such bad news,
for himself. A new charge was also
filed, and the prisoners bond placed
at $4,000.

Roer Generals Would Recognize Au-

The Hague, March 24:-Regarding
the fears expressed in the British
press, that the Boer generals would
not be inclined to recognize the au-
thority of the civil government of
the South African republics in case
the latter decided to open peace ne
gotiations, a few we'll informed per-
sons here declare that such apprehen-
sion is unfounded. They point out
that the Boer military and civil au-
thorities have always worked in per-
feet harmony and Mr.. Schalkberger
and his cabinet could not have pro-
ceeded to the Orange River Colony
via Middlesburg and Pretoria without
at least the consent of General Botha.
