A call for the Republican City eau
Gus is made in this paper, to take place
March 25th. The crop of candidates
who are willing to accept places on the
municipal ticket is very light this spring
and from the present prospects it looks
as if force would have to be used to find
people to stand for the election.
The most severe snow storm Of the
season commenced Sunday night and pre-
vailed all day Monday, calling to mind the
great storm twenty-three years ago that
date March IA, 1881, which blockaded
most of the railways in the state for a
week. The storm brought good foot
of snow which was piled up more or less
in the country. Many of the rural mail
carriers were unable to complete their
routes Monday on account of the storm.
Literary talent is seldom looked for
in the writings of the ordinary hobo,
but the story told in another column by
Edgerton's most noted tourist of 5000
mile ride on the trucks of passenger
coach is not without interest The man
who sleeps in freight cars and is familiar
with all the division yards of every rail
way west of the Mississippi river can
tell of interesting experiences of side
of life that few of US ever hear of.
! While in Chicago last week Supt
Morrissey purchased, subject to the ap-
prevail of the council, new Smith-Vale
pump, the price being $3.50. At the
meeting of the council Tuesday evening
the transaction was approved and the
purchase was made by wire or Wednes-
day, The new pump is duplicate of
the one now in use and will be shipped
in about two months. About all that is
lacking now to complete double pump
ing station is another we'll or large res
ervoir. In all probability this addition
will not be made within a couple of
years.
The open season for spring shooting
begins April 18th and closes April Oath.
During that time all game. except NAL
lard, teal and wood duck, may be shot.
The new law says that only Is birds can
be killed each day by one hunter. Wild
geese can also be hunted during the
open season. During the general closed
fishing season, between March l and
May 25, no fish caught in inland waters
can be Sold offered for sale or shipped.
Reports from the deputy wardens show
that due rs are beginning to appear in
the southern part of the state. Licenses
are good for one year from Sept. 1st, but
they really expire after the spring shoot
ing, as the game is all protected from
that time until the fall open season
starts in September.
The building for the primary de-
partment of the public school is practic-
ally completed and the eight thousand
dollars which the school board was au-
thorized to borrow from the state loan
and trust fund has been received and
portion of it applied on payment to the
contractor. A few minor changes of in
terror furnishings are yet to be made
and the seats placed before the
building is ready for occupancy. 1t is
the intention of the school board to have
everything in readiness for the opening
of the spring term, which will be Mon
day, April 4th. At a meeting of the
board last Saturday evening it was de-
cided to retain all of the present teach
ers for another year providing they de-
sired to remain. According to a state
ment of Principal Clark and in the
judgment oe the school board the best of
satisfaction is now being given in all de-
partments and for this reason it is hoped
the present teachers will be continued
for another year. It is now proposed to
install kindergarten department at the
commencement of the next school year
and at the meeting of the board Satur-
day evening the advisability of this move
was discussed at some length, the senti-
ment of the members present seeming to
favor this plan. Equipped as it is with
force of competent instructors, commo-
dious buildings furnished with the latest
necessary appliances and managed by a
board sound in judgment and liberal in
