The SCHOOL MEETING
Large Attendance, Interest Centered
In Election of Members of
Board.

There was evidence that consider
able hustling had been done in get
ting out crowd at the annual school
meeting Monday evening, as nearly
two hundred voters we're present, a
large number being ladies.
Many who were there, however,
were interested only in the election
of school trustees and as soon as that
order of business was accomplished,
which was short and decisive, left for
their homes.
The annual financial report of the
board was read by f. III. Hudson,
which exhibited total expenditure
for the past year of $13, ,3l4.34, this in
cluded teachers wages, the payment
of 1880, previously borrowed, the
amount paid for the purchase of addi
tional grounds which was $3.50, and
the Incidental expenses incurred in
running the schools. The report
further showed that there was bal
on hand In the sum of 50, ,562. 81 which
10 good nest egg. 1t was voted to
raise 1880, the coming year for
school purposes
II. Frank ireland made fine speech
In placing H. j. Leonard in nomina-
tion as a trustee to succeed Edwin II,
Spencer and w. B. Travis did the
same in proposing Mr.. Spencer's name
while urging his reelection.
The ballot for trustee to succeed
H.J. Connell resulted, IL. j Connell
120, w. B. Reed SO, E. Il. Spencer IL,
DIR. Geo. A. Stanton 2, j. Leonard
and 2. w. Gooding /. The second
ballot resulted, II. j. Leonard 1lS, K.
r. Spencer So, I. Frank Ireland l.
At the close of the balloting all but
25 people left the building although
important matters appertaining to
the question of more school room was
to be considered, as the proposition to
build a $1,000 school building had
been voted down at the special elec-
tion held few weeks ago. w. l.
Benedict exhibited diagram on the
black board and explained how some
changes could be made in the build
Ing to relieve the present condition
somewhat, but this would only be
temporary
Another proposition was suggested
to dispose of the school house in the
first ward and build good one on the
rise of ground west of the Shoe fac
tory.
The matter of publication OF the
proceedings of the board and 6nan-
cial statement at the close of each
school year, was urged by F. A. Wash
burn as being one of Importance to
the patrons and Taxpayers.

They Like Rev. j. e. Butler,

Rev. j. E. Butler is holding regular
services at the Congregational church

crowded to it's fullest capacity.
Desirable dwelling houses are
scarce in that city and Mr. Butler is
contemplating buying one suitable

Congregational people of Lowell are
fortunate in their new pastor Here's
a glad hand, Mr.. Butler"

THEY VOTED FOR 1T
Bonding Proposition was Carried by
Tremendous Majority on

Evidently the voters of the city ia
vor the establishment of more facto-
ries in the city, at least the result of
the special election held on Tuesday
for the purpose of authorizing the
Common Council to issue bonds to the
amount of $4,000 to secure another

a feeling of that kind, as there were
only Is votes cast in opposition to the

f. 4. Chapple is Making an Addition
to His Grist Mill Near the Dam.

AS an indication of the advantages
to be gained by the new dam at the
Richardson Silk Mill, f. Z. Chapple
is building quite an addition onto the
building used as a grist mill.
This addition will put things.in fine
shape for the business and will give
him a good chance to handle the busi-
ness that has been growing so rapidly
IN the past. This is good move, as
it will give every farmer desiring to
have his grist ground, a chance to get
prompt service.

 Counsel for Senator Burton contends that the judgment of the court below should be wholly reversed. It is insisted that the United States was not intec= ested in the question whether a fraud order should issue against the Rialto Grain and Securities Company and that consequently the lower court should have sustained the demurrer to the indictment or should have granted a motion in arrest of judgment or di- rected verdict for the defendant. Counsel holds there was no evidence to establish the guilt of the defendant and that the court erred in refusing to di- rect d verdict of not guilty. The de fendant it is coRtended. during the time Cf his employment by the Rialto company did not even know that an in quiry was before the rostsffice depart ment as to whether a fraud order should issue and he never rendered any service having reference to the issuance, oC a fraud order.

The Irrigation Awakening.

Probably the greatest econoniica
development which is to mark thu
speeding Of the twentieth century
10 the United States, 10 the extension
Of irrigation, and the gradual trans
formation thereby Of an empire o.
waste lands into an empire Of gar
dens, orchards and fruitful fields
The work OF such Transformation n
yearly progressing on an increasingly
larger scale. Years ago the country
knew Of some small irrigated areas In
California, Arizona and elsewhere
but the idea Of Transforming half q
continent by means OF irrigation was
only beginning to make an impres.
sion on few alert, far-seeing minds.
Not until the National Irrigation
society was organized were the i'm
mense possibilities Of the movement
SO presented as to appeal to the PEG.
pie at large and to congress.
But, encouraging as is the awaken
ing already wrought, and the winning
OF government cooperation, the steps
thus far taken are but preliminary to
still more important ones. The $27,-
000,0 so far accumulated in the
United States irrigation fund Is really
but drop in the bucket in COMPARE
son with the requirements Of the sit
uation. The redemption Of Mon
tana's ten million irrigable acres
alone, it is estimated, will cost $780,
900, 900, and Of other irrigable areas,
still larger sums. II it were pro-
posed to burden the nation with taxa
ton for such tremendous amounts,
not all the eloquence of the propa-
gandists Of the new agriculture would
avail to secure popular consent. But
the demonstration already made that
irrigation is the greatest creator Of
land values ever known, and the en-
tire feasibility Of methods which will
make available for it's purposes great
revolving funds-without any resort
10 taxation, direct or indirect bring
It within the power OF the people to
accomplish what would otherwise be

Kansas Mineral Riches,

mineral products we're valued at $27,'

more than 1902, the highest previous
output Of the state. 1t notes that
there was for the first time in recent
years no attempt to find gold and sill.
yer, every attempt at such being
proved failure and the only smelter
in the state that tried to secure silver
from Kansas ore having abandoned
the plan. The lead and zinc products
diminished slightly; coal increased
about 100000 tons. The great in
crease was in oil and gas. The oil
product Of 1902 was 1922, 023 barrels;
last year 1t was l,0lS,199 barrels.
Even this does not give a complete
picture Of the actual oil finds, as the
state geologist notes that probably il
all the wells that were brought in
had been connected with pipe lines
and the oil marketed, the product
would have been 100 per cent greater.
The average wells daily production
