CITY PRINTING.

The matter of the city printing
came up before the council Monday
night. 1t was discussed pro and con.
This Is a matter over which there
shou'dsbe no controversy whatever.
That there is any controversy is en-
tirely owing to the obtuseness Of the
editors Of the town. Do you hear
anything of the city asking for bids
on bridge tmbers? How strange it
would seem for the council to ask for
bids from the hardware men on nails.
When the city wants supplies Of
any kind 1T goes and buys them at the
market price and everybody is satls1
fed But where it wants a little
printing done the question immedl-
ately comes up, "How cheap can it be
done?" The council is not to blame
for this condition. They have been
educated to it by the editors themse'-
yes. If the editors Of the city had u
ick. of business sagacity and a spark
ot brotherIy love in their makeup,
they would simply agree that the
city should pay the legal rates for all
official matter and current rates for
all commercial work.
There is no more reason why the
newspaper men should give away
their profits than the hardware or
lumber men only that the newspaper
managers are set of champs, or at
least have one among them who is
lUt amenabie to reason.

The SChoolboard.

The meeting Monday night was
quite warm affair. A mum Der OF
cOlOred men appeared before the
board to protest against the previous
action Of the board in separating
the white and black children in the
schools. Milton CASTOR, j. w. Wins
low, j. $. Hale, Tony Bradley ana
J. w. johnson, prominent colored
men of the city made earnest talks,
asking the board to rescind their pre-.
vlous action.
These gentlemen seemed very much
in earnest and made impasSoned
talks They were assured hy the
board that the colored children would
be given every facility that was grant
ed to the white children and treated
with the same courtesy IN every way.
Tue board argues that the frequent
friction among the black and white
children tends to Subvert discipline
and that the move will be for the best
interest OF all parties.
The board employed Miss Mabel
kRogers, colored girl who graduated
from the Emporia Normal the past
year, as teacher in the cOlored depart
ment. Miss Rogers is bright, cul-
tured young lady of experience in the
schoolrOom and will do good work.
Miss Nellie Gaughan was employed
for the and 7th grades in the Fourth
ward. A better selection could not
have been made. Miss Gaughan is
one of the very best and most sue
cessful teachers in the county.
The board let the contract for a
new supply of seats. They also let the
contract for the addition to the old
high school building. J.W Baugbm an
gets the foundation, S. u. Roth the
brick 'work and Jacob McLane the
frame work. G. V. Dennis reported
children of school age as follows:
lst ward 26l increase A.
2nd ward 4l4, increase 90.
3rd ward All, increase 70.
4th ward $50 increase III.

over the city printing proposition.
The secretary of gas reported re-
celpts of 81 ,045.39 for last month.
The street commissioner reported
that he had run down eighty-three
men and held them Up for their poll
tax.
His Honor, the Police Judge, re-
ported fnes collected to the amount
of sl22.
The rock crusher,or white elephant
belonging to the city, came in for a
little discussion. 1t is now proposed
TO use the thing occasionally If the
Neosho river has to be drained for
power.
Geo. Northup and Charley Boman
proposed to buy the strip OF land
sbutting on their lots, along Fifth
street. Strip sold to them at $40 per
front foot, they to put in sidewalk

FRIEND TURNER
Thinking that you might like to
hear from u wayfaring man from
this Northwestern country.I will give
you short description of my peram-
bnlatiUns. left Chanute May 14th
and visited my daughter at Spring
field, Mo-, and then my son at Skid
more, Mo-, then nv son at Fargo.
y. D., where / found Grantand fam
ily keeping house, excepting little
Aud-y who died at Skidmore. Mo-,
with typhoid malarial fever, and was
taken to Dunlap, Iowa, for interment.
This was a sad loss to us.
Grant and left Fargo on the 10Th
and came up to Winnepeg to the EX-
position and from there TO this place,
$50 miles west OF Winnepeg, where
my son, A. G. Otis, has some 1000
acres Of as fine land as the sun ever
shone on. and such fine crops of small
grain as it produces would take the
eye Of Kansas farmer, but the long,
cold winters would send him flying
back in the fall to enjoy the comforts
of plenty Of gas and sunshine. The
weather is so cool here now that am
wearing my regular Kansas winter
clothing. Grant left here Saturday
and went back to Fargo and 1 went
with two others 80 miles further
north to look the country oyeC in a
region where they are just surveying
out the land where l am going to file
on three homesteads, one for myself
and one for each Of the boys. 1t only
costs $40 to file and one only has to
stay on their claim six months In each
year for three years and then get
deed and the land will likely be worth
at that time two or three Thousand
)llars a quarter.
Every alternate section is owned by
company and they are asking $l120
a quarter for them. There are thous-
ands of people coming ur into this
country TO invest money and get
homesteads. The cars are crowded
and the hotels are full. Prices are
very high on everything even sinners
charge l5c and glass Of beer is 15c.
Nearly every hotel has a'bar and there
is no license to pay. We visited the
Touring mill at Winnepeg, which is a
Inc one. Capacity 200 bbls per day.
They grind the finest KIND of No. !
nard wheat. think they own about
100 elevators along this line of rail
road which is the Canadian Pacific.
In every town along the line there
are from . to 9 elevators showing that
there is some grain raised here. A.
we came along up through South and
North Dakota we saw hundreds of
mi es Of wheat and the crops look fin
most OF the way. Prairie chickens
aud ducks were quite plentiful and
north of here up about Prince Albert
we saw some autelopes and cranes
and we caught two young foxes ano
brought them here alive. We had
camping outfit and enjoyed the trip
very much. Hoping to see Chanute
again next winter, remain
Yours truly,
ISAAC Otis.

SAYS BRIDGE is PAID FORT;
That Is the Reason Kent County Does
Not Settle With New
Castle.
Special to the Evenlng Journal.

Special TO the Evening Journal.
Dover, Jan. 30.-Levy Court Commits
sioner Alden r. Benson said last night
in an interview that the claims of New
Castle County Levy Court against Kent
county for the payment Of one-half Of
the cost for the construction of a
bridge at Fleming's Landing, had been
paid by Kent county and that was the
reason for the Kent county court not
settling with the upper county men.
He said that in 1895, a bridge was
erected at Fleming's Landing, one-half
of which was to be paid by each
county. The contract price was S1.555.
of which Kent paid one-half. The next
year a large boat collided with the new
bridge and severely damaged it 50 that
repairs amounted to S942. In 1901 Mr..
Benson said, New Castle county sent 20
bill for the payment Of one-half
Kent's share for the bridge in 1905. =
special man was employed TO look this
item up and in the county treasurer's
report an allowance was made for the
bridge in 1906.
