MORE
Paid i'm Wages to Sauk Coun-
ty Teachers.

County Supt. Synder has com
pleted his report to be submitted
to the county board and from il
the following interesting facts are
CLEANED concerning the schools OF
Sauk county:
During this year SO of the teach
ers are employed for seven months
and 1877 for eight months or more.
Seventy-one of the teachers are
paid from $23 to $50 and 1875 are
paid $35 or more.
For the year ending June 80, 1904,
there were Sc common school grad
yates, 38 graded school graduates,
and 81 high school graduates. The
80 included those from Baraboo
and Reedsburg.
Wages Increased.
During last year the number of
teachers employed was 25 and the
average salary paid them was
$388.O4 against $3.50. 30 for the
year ending June 80, 1903. Dur ing
last year 184 female teachers were
employed at an average salary of
$238 29 against $207 81 for the pre-
vious year. The advance in the cost
of salaries is attributed to the in
creased cost of living on the part of
the instructors.
Last year 240 certificates we're in
force and this year 250. In 1903,
221 applied for certificates and in
1904, 256. During the past year SO
failed to pass the examinations. Of
all the certificates in force this
year, 35 are first grade, Is second
grade, 140 third grade and 23 state
licenses.
The cost of the teachers institu-
tes during 1902 was $191.19 and 146
enrolled. The cost of the spring
and summer institutes in 1904 was
191. 38 and the number enrolled at
the Reedsburg sessions was 1876 and
Baraboo 17O. The amount of insti-
tute money now on hand is $201. IA.
During last year the school at
tendance increased rs, 900 days.
During the past year the cost of
maintaining the schools of Sauk
county was So, ,653.52 less than the
year previous. The decrease in
cost, after paying more to the
teachers, is due to fewer school
houses being built and not so much
for charts and other supplies ex-
pended.
The above items do not include
the Baraboo and Reedsburg schools
as they are not under the jurisdic
ton of the county superintendent.
The entries at the Sauk county
fair was 233.

PocATELL.o
Is Much Like Raraboo OnIy
Worse.

Frank Burlington, a former Bar
aboo merchant who has made Idaho
his home, tells some interesting
things in letter to his mother.
He is now at Pocatello closing out
stock of goods. He says:
Don't know how long I will be
here, but do not think it will be
much later than Christmas, as I
will want to go down to Twin Falls
again at that time. The irrigating
dam down there was to have been
done last June, but they were de-
layed on account of unusually high
water. The dam will be completed in
about 60 days. I have built little
house down on my ranch in the sage
brush, and the first one to go into
it was Prince (the horse) with
Shep (the dog) a close second. Had
to back Prince out because he could
not turn around in it. Jim Curry
and Henry Peck were out here and
left with a very favorable impress
ion of the country"
"Josie and I went up the noun
tains last Srnday.I went to the top
of the highest peak in this vicinity,
about three-fourths of a mile
straight up, and ten miles from
home. On one side was great
sage brush plain, with the Snake
river twentY-six miles away looking
like a great, green worm, and on
the other side were more mountain
peaks as far as I could see. The
sun was shining on some of them
while others were enveloped in
clouds, and still others not very far
away, were doing battle with the
thunder and lightning. I never
felt so small in my life. also had
sort of a funny feeling come over
me as though I was not needed
there, yet wanted to stay a little
while. An unusually sharp streak
of lightning on near by peak
suddenly reminded me that Josie
and Shep were eating all the lunch
way down on the mountain side
where they sat looking like specks. "
"Pocatello is about the size OF Bar
aboo and like it in many respects
as it is a railroad town. 1t has the
shops, and the usual nice homes
and lawns, and widows. But it is
very much more cosmopolitan.
They have street fairs, prize fights,
horse races, gambling, Sunday
base ball and all such terrible
things that would not be tolerated
in similar sized town back East. :"

evening by the local camp, proved to
be decided success and all present
report a very fine time. A list of

with the Woodmen colors, red.
white and green and suspended
from the ceiling hung the emblem,
the beetle-ax and wedge. Adainty
supper was served to 10 guests

order has had a remarkable growth
in the past six months and at pres
ent there are 25 more new applica-
tions.
