At the beginning of last school year
the crowded condition of the North
school made it imperative that another
teacher be employed for that build
ing, and this was accordingly done. At
the middle Of last year it became
necessary to employ an additional
teacher in the Park school, and at the
beginning of this year it was necessary
to employ another teacher for the Park
school, so that at the present time all
of the rooms in all of the school build
ings are occupied, except two unhn-
ished rooms in the Lincoln school. All
of the buildings except the Lincoln are
now crowded, many of the rooms hav-
ing from so to 60 pupils each, and it
is necessary that additional room for
the accommodation of the school chill
dren be provided and that an addition
al teacher be employed.
In consideration of the demand for
additional room in the schools, and of
the present financial condition of the
district, the board would respectfully
recommend that a levy of eight mills
be made for the ensuing year for the
purpose of maintaining the schools and
providing the necessary rooms and
grounds for the proper maintenance Of
the schools, and that the board be au-
thorized to provide such necessary
rooms and grounds.
We would also suggest that a good
and substantial brick building, suffi-
cient for the needs of the district for
some years to come, can be erected
this year and be paid for out of the
tax levies for three years without
either increasing the levy or leaving
an Indebtedness on the district on ac-
count of the building.
Respectfully submitted,
A. o. CONDIT,
w. H. BYRD,
f. M. CROISAN,
A. A. LEE.
During the reading of the report
many more came in until the court room
was jammed full When it was all read
there was a general discussion of the
report.
p. II. Darcy spoke in favor of a
frame building as best If the matter
had been decided by the board it was
not necessary to discuss the matter
c. A. Wallace spoke against new
building. Some of the rooms could be
furnished and save putting up a new
building at present.
Gid Holz discussed the matter of 10.
cation and the kind of building to be
erected and when it should be fin
ished. A building started early this
winter and pushed along would be put
up at least 10 per cent cheaper than
if undertaken later in the season.
Director Byrd said the establishment
of higher grades neeessitated providing
room. The central location was the
only one owned by the district. The in
tention Of the board was TO finish the
building by September next.
The report was adopted amid great
applause. Mr.. Wallace said that a ve'
neered brick building at Newberg had
given great satisfaction.
Frank Davey reviewed the school
district report and moved a vote of
thanks TO the board. Carried.
Director Lee spoke of the need of a
better class of buildings, as present
buildings were causing expense.
On motion the meeting adjourned.

Helena, Mont, June Ex-Governor
Toole win not demand Of the governor
of Missouri extradition for William Miles,
the Cougar old laborer who a few days
ago at Kansas City confessed that he hac
killed a brakeman on the Montana Union
railroad near Deer Lodge in 1885, for
which crime man named Waltham IS
now serving a life sentence in the penl-
tertiary. The governor announces that
he has reached this conclusion with re-
gard to the case, and that In addition,
because of the mental condition OF the
convict who Is paying the penalty Tor
what may have been the crime OF an
other, he is disposed to pardon 'Waltham.
The case is a most unusual one for the
reason that in both instances the men
have confessed that they were slayers Of
the brakeman. In 1886 Waltham, who is
referred to as Murphy in the confession
OF the man at Kansas City, surrendered
to the police of Minneapolis confessing
that he had killed brakeman. Waltham
was taken to Deer Lodge, tried, con-
victed and sent up for life.
The story Waltham told at the time
of the trial was a rambling one, but there
were facts sufficient to give it more than
a semblance Of genuineness. He is SO
and Is considered of unsound mind, and,
taking all the facts in the peculiar case
into consideration, Governor Toole has
shown a disposition to extend executive
clemency in the shape of a pardon. Con-
corning Miles confession, Governor Toole
said: -
IT shall not demand the extradition OF
Miles. It may turn out that he is not
mentally responsible. He is more thar
go, and certainly there is nothing upon
which to convict him but his own state
ment, which seems far from sufficient"
