WHILE it is true that in some in.
stances the land laws have been abus.
ed by corporations that have illegally
taken up government land, yet in the
main the laws are good and have en-
abled tens of thousands of worthy
people to secure lands at a nominal
price who otherwise would be with
out them. And so, when the big
syndicates come along and wants
Congress to enact law withdrawing
the entire public domain from private
entry they should be sat down on very
hard. 1t looks like gigantic land
grabbing scheme, for when the veal
thy syndicates had secured everything
in sight they would then sell out again
at their own figures to the small in
dividuals who desire to buy. Congress

BUILDING BONDS
District No. 20 Preparing High
School Building.

If all goes we'll at the special cleo
tion to be held Monday next bonds
will be voted in District No. 20 for
the erection of high school build
ing.
Only qualified voters who have
paid school tax in the district in
the year next preceding the said cleo
tion may vote at the special election.
The amount of bonds to be voted
will be determined by vote of those
present at the opening of the polls.
The plan is to vote about 100000
which will complete the payment of
the site and build the high school edi-
fee, which, according to the plans is
to be handsome and modern struct-
ure.
The building will be complete in
itself but erected in such shape that
it can ha added to at any time with
yut marring its proportions or general
symmetry.
When ready for use, which will be
at the beginning Of the next school
term. the Central high school build
ing will be converted into ward
school and will relieve the pressure
in all the other schools in the district.
Pupils will be drawn off from the
Danforth, the Bessemer, the Mime
qua and the Columbia schools to go to
the stone building, and their places
filed by the overflow either now go
ing to the cottage buildings or at
tending but one session day.
There was talk of a $5OO,0OO |
school building, but this is only an
idea advanced for the remote future.
That is. the building as now in con-
temptation will be complete in itself,
but may be added to from time to
time as the necessity calls for it, and
in the years to come will be'enlarged. |

Houses Filling Up.

The rapidly increasing list of en-

had its effect in filling up the houses
in the Bessemer and Mesa districts.
There are not nearly 80 many vacant
houses in the city as there were a
couple of months ago and at the pre-
sent rate they will soon be as scarce
as they were last summer. When
the full force is on in the mills now
open, the number Of employees will be

The Milky Way.

A novel theory as to the milky way
has been evolved by S. L. Adams, an
amateur astronomer of Sydney, N. s.
w. This luminous phenomenon, 1t
appears, is really a shadow.
The Milky Way" says Mr.. Adams.
"is constantly being seen at many DIFF
ferent angles and in many parts OF the
sky. but it always preserves the same
luminous front arising from the
telescope stars in ks background.
Now. as this background is con-
stantly changing. and the luminous ef-
feet is only seen wherever the fore
ground happens to be the Milky Way
il rs evident that it is not the teies-
copic stars themselves which produce
the effect, but something projected on
the foreground of the sky. That
something is the earth's shadow.
The supposed nebulae. continues
Mr.. Adams, "are all shadows, and this

gravitation and their refusal to con-

Beetles on MeIon Vines.

Relative to the striped cucumber
beetle on melon vines, bulletin OF
the Oklahoma station says: In addi-
lion to the preventive measures OF
cleaning up rubbish and thorough
cultivation of the melon ground, the
use Of Bordeaux mixture as a repel-
lent, and squash as trap crop are
among the most promising of the rem
sdies recommended by those who have
successfully dealt with this insect.
Equashes are planted about four days
before the melons. One or more rows
Of squashes should be planted, &C
cording to the size of the field. Some
Of the trap plants may be busted with
Paris green when the beetles gather
on them. Others should be left to
sttract the. beetles through the sum-
mer. It seems that spraying the young
melon vines with Bordeaux mixture
not only repels the cucumber beetle,
but also poisons some of the insects
which feed on the sprayed leaves.
