reason of the absence from roll call of
different members of the assembly

The white man now has the golden

thousands of farmers and stOckmen in

he has asked. and it is even doubtful
now if he would be asked to come back
at his old salary. as the sentiment in
favor of a graduate coach is quite

A great deal of confidence is felt in
