SCHOOL IN A MUDDLE.

There is 'hot time" in the
affairs of the Challis Public
School between the teachers and
the trustees, which after a hear
ing before the Board for two or
three evenings past, both of the
teachers were requested to hand
in their resignation, and we are
informed that Miss May Weaver,
the principal, did as requested,
which took effect last Friday but
Miss Lois Butt, primary teach
er, did not comply with the re-
quest of the Board, but through
her attorney, L. II. Johnston,
will ask relief in the courts, if
necessary, for three months of
salary she was hired to teach to
complete her contract.
How the matter will terminate
at this time it is difficult to say.
We have no prejudice in the mat
ter nor interest in the affair only
as taxpayer who favors hav-
ing a good school, even to dis
charging the teachers if it be-
comes absolutely necessary. 1t
is said the teachers were given a
fair and impartial trial before
the Board Miss Weaver appear
ing in person, and Miss Butt was
represented by counsel. The
Board are the judges in the mat
ter, and it was very unpleasant
task to perform, to discharge
teachers in the middle of the
term. But isn't it better than to
expend the peoples money and
not get value received, as the
Board claims ?
AS to the cause of this trouble
it is said that the discipline in
the principals room has been
bad, and the teacher is too young
to manage the school. What is
need is man teacher that viii
ply the rod on some of the un,
ruly boys.
1t is generally conceded tha'
the primary teacher is excellen'
in kindergarten work, but the
primary room here is not solely
kindergarten work, and the 5tf
grade has not been taught thi:
term.
School has been in session a
this place four months, and tn,
trustees have neglected to visi
the school, to learn why sucl
disorder existed, if it did exist
before this and cause an investi
cation. 1t is an unpleasant af
fair. 1t is said school will be re
sumed after the, holidays with ;
new corps of teachers. Mis-
Weaver came here last fall from
! Ketchum and Miss. Butt from
Glenn's Ferry, Idaho.
Challis ought to have a gooC
school. The Board contemplat,
soon building partition through
the lower room and make TIVE
rooms of it and employ tw
teachers and a man for principa
up stairs, where the 9th, 10tl
and 18th grades will be taught.

YANKEE FORK COLORS
loontinued from sth page.

oou lIolll CuSUef TO this portion
OF our mineral resources.
Coming back to Yankee Fork,
there is a very bright outlook
down the river from Jordan.
The Boston and Boise Dredge
20. has bought, located, and
bonded, about all of the bottom
ground from over two miles be-
low Poquette's meadows up to
mouth of Jordan creek. Mr..
John N. Wallace of Boise has
spent four seasons prospecting
the ground, a considerable por-
tlon OF which he bought or locat-
ed, and spent one season pros
pecting the ground with boring
machine, beginning at mouth of
Jordan and extended operations
a mile below Bonanza. For sew
eral seasons Mr.. Wallace pros
pected the ground on the mead
ows boiow the Fox bridge, with
gratifying success. The past
summer Mr.. Rupert Winter of
Boise, who is one of the three
owners in the Boston & Boise
Dredge Co., came here and ex-
amined the ground, and found it
to be a dredging proposition of
great value, and bought and
bonded all the ground from Jor-
dan down the river for distance
of over four miles.
Next season the company ex-
poets to put in a Risdon dredge
on the ground opposite Bonanza,
extending up to Jordan, and
which has been prospected at
different points by borings. An
other dredge is expected to be
built for the ground on the Fox
Bridge Meadows, as that has
also been thoroughly prospected,
and the ground further down the
river will be prospected with a
lightning borer" that is to be
brought in the coming spring.
These machines are operated by
gasoline power and bore from 10
to 30 feet per hour.
The Bonanzaites are in good
spirits over the prospects for
good times in that part of the
Fork country. Their town has
been under a heavy fog for sew
eral years past, but they now see
gold lining to the big black
cloud that overshadowed them
in the dark years that followed
the early glory of the town.
Front and corner lots that a
quarter of a century ago sold at
1000 to 1000 lighting rights
thrown in), can now be had fol
the taking, but they will all be
taken before the 4th of July
next. Bonanza also claims an
other good point; it is the last
eating and watering" place
coming up the river, on the roac
to Custer, Sunbeam, Loon anc
Thunder.
Custer is fourishing in its
usual way. Business good
money apparently as plentiful as
ever, sociables and dancing par
ties frequent, school prosperins
and attendance good; nobody
kicking" and everybody seem
ingly as happy as mortals vel
can be in mountain mining
camp.
There are many other favor
able notes that could be given
but it would make too much TO
a newspaper article, and can b'
added at another time. But
looking the field well over, it il
plain to be seen that the Yanke
Fork country has not within tn
past 20 years had as bright al
outlook as it has at the dawn o
the year A. D., 1905.

Home woman's Realm.

Home without woman is a
misnomer, for woman makes the
home and home is what she makes
it. Ifshe is illiterate. her home is
coarse and tandry and no taste in
any thing. if immoral her home
cannot be the abode of virtue, if
shei is pure sensible and refined,
these qualities will reflect like a
clear mirror the snowy curtains.
dainty cushions and well arranged
pictures all tell their story of the
refined woman at the helm. The
man sees after the office. farm or
store and rests his weary self in
his home. Glad to be at ease in
what he knows is his wife's own
dominion.
