Next years report Of the school
treasurer of Grand Rapids will be
more interesting reading, If possible,
than last years report, which the
general reader has not bad a chance
10 see yet, hut which will appear in
time for all To read and digest before
school election next spring. We re-
commend every tax payer to give that
report careful reading before he goes
to the school election. -The Cooley
and EmmOnS Congl0merative Com
binatiOn.
The above article is the fourth Or
fifth of similar nature that they
have published in the last two years
casting reflection upon the School
Board Of this city AS "a member of
that body we do not propose to allow
any further inSinuations of the above
nature without some facts to sub
stantiate their insinuations Theo-
dore Lipke is our school treasure r
now, and his predecessor was Guy
Nash. The people of Grand Rapids
know these gentlemen sufficiently
we'll to know that neither one would
inappropriate any of the school
funds. We know that there are no
members Of hat body that would in
any Way be wasteful of school funds,
or misa ppropriate them in any way.
This years report made in March last
is in the hands of MeSsrs George w.
Paulus. II. G. Wipperman and Jacob
Scarls TO check UP and report upon
the same. Why they have not done
SO we are not aware. There is moth
ing in the treasurer's report to cause
the above insinuations? The School
Board is anxious to have the people
know all about the school expenses
They have been high and will con-
tinue to be high as long AS the city
grows. The increased expense in the
last two years is due to the erection
of new high school building at a
cost of $4,000 when our loan con-
sisted of only 500, 200. The extra
$4,000 came out Of the general funds
which gave US an over draft. These
are facts that no member of the
Board is personally responsible for.
The contracts are all on file and Just
the amounts paid for in each case.
Nothing is being covered up and no
member Of the School Board has any
desire to cover any OF their actions.
The records are on file at the school
house with the clerk and everyone has
free access to them.
This constant desire on the part of
the above hamed persons to infer and
insinuate that there is something
wrong in our school matters, is an
insult to every member OF the school
board and we for one will not submit
TO any more OF it. The coward and
sneak will never come out in the open
and make his charges like a man. but
like human owls vigilant in darkness.
and blind to light, mousing for vermin.
are never looking for the good in any,
one or anything. ITO admire moth
ing" seems to be their motto.

Farmers Review,

AVv0S oaWs AhsAADola.
Farmers Review,
Chicago, July %, 1908.
Most Of the prairies in the United
States have ceased to exist Man has
broken them up with orchards, for
ests and farm buildings. But in
Western Canada the prairies stlll
stretch grandly from horizon to hori-
zon as yet unmarried by the hand Of
man, save where the iron road has
been laid. To a city man there is
something deliciously restful about
the vast grassy solitudes.
Numerous clumps Of trees mark the
course OF the Assiniboine river, which
keeps in sight of the railroad for some
distance.
Grass is one of the notable things
about all the landscape OF Western
Canada. Il is a remarkable fact that
the entire length of the Canadian Pa
cific railway from it's eastern termi-
nus to the Rocky Mountains is over
plains where grass grows. The sage
brush appears at some points. but
never to the exclusion Of grass There
is thus not a mile of this country that
cannot be used for some agricultural
purpose either for tilling or ranch
ing.
Moose Jaw is town Of over 1000
Inhabitants, and one Of the most i'm
pOrtant places in Assiniboia, being the
center of very good farming coun-
try and great grain and stock ship
ping point.
Near Moose Jaw agriculture and
ranching go hand in hand; for near
the town was seen a herd of beef
cattle several hundred in number. On
another side was seen good sized
herd Of dairy COWS, the property Of
the citizens in the town.
I'm riding over the prairies we saw
many good fields of alfalfa. The great
need of the country is timber, which
grows readily where planted, as was
demonstrated by the shelter belts on
some Of the farms, and the trees on
the residence lots in the town.
"Stories we're told the writer Of
men who last year cleared from their
wheat crop more than the land on
which it was grown originally cost
them. This is easy to believe, in view
of the large crop and high price for
wheat last year."-Henry f. Thurston.
