Berlin, Oct. 2S.-The German gov
ernment is not disposed to take up the
case of the German fishing vessel Son
tag, which was fired on Oct. 21, of
Horns Reef by Russian warships, un-
less the owner asks for an indemnity.
The foreign affairs office does not con.
slider it improbable that the vessel was
fired on. Yet, as no damage was
done, and no complaint has been
lodged by her commander, Germany
will avoid becoming involved tn the
Anglo-Russian controversy. Persons
having close relations with the for
eign office still believe that it will be
amicably settled. They regard the
assemblage of the British feet as de-
signed for use only at the last extrem-
ity, for the detention of the Russian
squadron, If it's detention Is attempted,

When the present license went into
effect in January Mr.. Foster was one

measure and the granting of the $3.50
license went through the council
without an Directing voice, either
from the councilmen or the proprie-
tors of the poolrooms. Some opposi-
ton was expected from the pool
rooms, as the owners had stated that
they would have to go out of bust
ness if the license was increased, but
no poolroom voice was raised against
the measure when it came up for

We return to the record again and
find, Moved by Mr.. Cottingham and
seconded by McGaffey that the Board
of Education enter into a contract
with R. w. Smith to erect a building
according to plans presented on lo5
l, block l of Valley View Addition,
and lease same for school purposes
for n term of nine months. Motion
carried" (of course.)
This location is the same distance
from the w. T. Wells corner that the
Pauley building is. while the Pauley
building has gravel walk all the way,
and the school house on the hill has
none. But it is centrally located, they
say. We text find by said record, mo.
ton by DR.. Joyner, and duly seconded
that the building committee assisted
by McGaffey, be instructed to draw
up contract with R. w. Smith for a
building as outlined in plans under
consideration. Motion carried" Why
burden McGaffey alone to assist the
building committee. 1t would look ike
the finance committee should be con-
suited to know where this money was
to come from, but money is no object,
as shown by the $1,000 floating debt.
The price is not even named.
We again return to the records Of
the said Board and find, Motion by
DR.. Joyner to reconsider the order to
put down well at the Pauley school.
Here the record stops. there being
no record of the adjourned meeting
to take place August 9Th, 1904. The
next record we have of this graft is
in the Daily Roswell Record of Aug
ust 30th. 1904, furnished the paper
by the Board, which minutes are as
silent as the grave about the school
house on South Hill.
Upon looking up this school house
we find that R. w. Smith has built
a three-room frame house, ceiling on
the inside, with no closets, cloak
rooms or halls; that Cottingham sold
the lumber and Smith & Hamilton
did the painting. etc; but for the life
of me l can't see where McGaffey
did anything; but hen l was not at
any of the meetings of the committee.
Now. taxpayers and patrons of the
schools, what do you think of it? The
furniture is being removed from the
Pauley building to this new house
on South Hill with three rooms, while
the Pauley building had four rooms.
Where will the 146 children go TO
school? The Central building was
full last term. Very truly,
