their line to the northern limits Of
the city. The road will pass close to
the front door Of Mayor Olney and by
the back door OF l. g. Hazard. Sew.

been creased for u.s." said Chief En-.
gineer Charles Henning, in speaking
OF the admirable grade which has been
found. "Our grade doesn't 60 above
six-tenths Of per cent and the curves
will be surprisingly light. Every as.

speedily be built. as the only conol-

PLEASED WITH WORK

Territorial Superintendent Hiram

now In progress on the west side, and
left on No. passenger train for Ra-
ton.
Said superintendent Hadley. in

taken in the work, with the freedom
manifested In discussion. with the
high character n the instruction be.

ed one thing that didn't like.
II hear that quite a number of adj.
ditional teachers expect to enroll
this week with view TO taking the
examination This Is wrong In prin.
ciple and any certificates obtained will
not be legal. The law expressly pro.
vides that no certificate shall be
valid unless two weeks institute work
has been done The county superin-
tendents should not accept certificates
thus obtained in violation Of the law
and the directors should not hire such
teachers. II one teacher can obtain
a license without obeying the law
every teacher ought to be able to do
so.
Although nearly all the teachers
in the institute are Spanish-American,
nothing but English Is used in carry
ing on the work and ! addressed the
teachers in English without the in
termediary of an interpreter. This Is
