ROSEBUD.
ROSEBUD, July %, 1908.

contray to the usual situation the tax
payers of the district are trying to
move the trustees to action in the line
of submitting the question of improve
ments to the electors. This is some
what unusual as generally the trus-
tees are the ones that have to do the

good shape financially as any in the
county and has not even presentable
school house, and it does not seem in
harmony with these progressive times
that thriving community should be
so inadequately equipped in this re-

services during the next term, but the
young lady has already been engaged
