A third wire was strung from the power
house couple of weeks ago, which per-
mits better flow of "juice," and gives
much better light. Since Mr.. Koberg
took charge of the Light Co, the first Of

Monday night was set for an adjourned
meeting of the school board, but with
DIR. Dumble absent, Captain Blowers
sick, Chairman Baker and Clerk Barnes
failed to make quorum. There are
several matters to attend to, chiefly the
securing Of money to cash teachers sal
ary warrants. The district is out of
funds, with none coming in until the
March pportionment. The money
question is apt to cause some deep think

the coming year. The 10-mill tax voted
in December will likely leave defcien-

houses are overcrowded and the people
on the hill want one up there. They
ought to have it, too.
