very effectively.

the lumber at discount of 60 per cent.
Thirty one pupils are enrolled.
Petitions Tor tran fers of part of district
No. SO (Sine) to Dist. l6 (SummiD will
be head by Supt. Walton at Summit,
next Wednesday. In the evening Mr.,
Walton will assist in an entertainment
at summit to raise money to purchase
books for the school.
An election will be held at Rayvile
soon for voting bonds to build a new
school house. Supt. Walton will lecture
at Rayvile Sunday afternoon on venlila-
ton and lighting of school rooms, and
hopes to ave a strictly modern building
put up in that district.
Supt. Walton is working on a plan to
establish travelling Libraries for the bene.
fit OF the country districts. Each district
can furnish am sum it desires to buy
books, which will be kept at the supern-
tendent's office, then the district can
draw at one time number of books in
proportion to money expended. Com
missioners are authorized to levy a
special tax for libraries, but will not be
asked to do do SO until the plan has first
been tried as outlined above.
The county auditor extended time for
receiving tax levies from school districts,
and thereby saved a number of districts
from losing their share of public school
money Under new law districts which
did not hold school six months in the
year or levy a special tax OF at least three
mills, could not draw public money after
June. 1906. Nearly all the districts
which have now levied special taxes, SO
they will be able to get their share of
state school fund.
Supt. Walton will organize teachers
associations in the larger towns espe-
cialy tor the benefit of the country
teachers. The first association will be
organized at Elma. October 81; second
at Montesano the week following, and
the third at Aberdeen the next week.
Meetings will be held every six weeks,
the class at Aberdeen holding sessions
alternately at Aberdeen and Hoquiam.
Object of these meetings is to get better
and more uniform results in the country
schools. subjects for discussion at first
meetings will be: Appearance of school
room, ventilation, writing, using of
globe in geography; classes Of children
will be used to illustrate use OF phonetics
in lower grades, and also reading in
fourth, fifth or sixth grades Sabin's
Common Sense Didactics will be used as
text book at the meetings during the
ar.--Vidette.

A MONEY MAKER FOR YOU.
A Chance to Take Stock in. a Home

This company has created considera BILE
interest among investors in this city, as
it offers an opportunity. for those who
have but little ready money. to invest in
inside city properties, such as are bring
ing good rents. Under its plan man
with bnt $50 to invest can place it where
it will bring returns, and at the same
time be a good nves ment
The preferred stock OF this company is
being sold in blocks of from ten shares
up. The stock may be paid in cash, or
in monthly installments II draws a
yearly dividend of 5 per cent, and re-
ceives one-half of the balance OF the pro.
fits of the company. Shares are sold at
81 each, never less. They are non-assess-
able. Ten shares may be subscribed for
ana pai'l'at 81 per month.
This company has already secured op-
tions Oh property bringing from fifteen
per cent to twenty-five per cent per
annum, and has several other &C, ID buys
in view. 1t will be dividend from the
very first. 1t is safe to say that those
investing in its preferred stock will not
only receive over ten per cent in div-
dends, but will have an investment that
is steadily increasing in value.
1t is surprising to note the rapid in.
crease in the values Of inside city pro.
perty in the west, during the last few
years. Business property in Seattle has
increased in value 1000 times in the last
twenty-five years. Aberdeen is far
more promising city today than Seattle
was twenty-five years ago. Today Aber-
deem pas pay roll of $3.50 900. 1t is the
largest lumber shipping city in the
world. And with its water-frontage, and
railroad facilities, it can offer induce
ments to thousand of manufacturers,
aud this is what but few cities of this
coast can do. There is not doubt but
what this city's population will double
in less than five years.
This company has the advantage of
two real estate offices, each with we'll
established business. Thus it will be
enabled to buy at the very lowest figures,
and to sell to the best Advantage. 1t had
no commissions to pay; no salaried Off.

it advantages the best. Every dollar
derived from the sale Of stock goes
directly into income paying property.

WAYS Of Shoeinu a Horse,

Complaint is made that the horse
shoers of England are behind those
of continental Europe and that the
perfect way Of shoeing a horse is
yet to be discovered, although it
seems that there are ll5 ways of
shooting horse as practiced in the
different armies in Europe.
The chief farrier of the Four
tenth dragons of the French army,
a. NJ. Grosset, spent nearly the
whole of his spare time in obtaining
specimens in order to constitute il
Illustrations of these methods. When
he died a short time ago he pre-
scented the whole of his collection to
the French minister of war.-Black-

The Book Saved His Life.

"Moved by excitement" began
General Joe Wheeler in relating one
of his stories, "a Young man deter
mined to enlist. He accepted Bi-
bic from his mother and as he placed
it in his inside coat pocket promised
to read the book every day.
During one of the important
battles this mans entire company
was annihilated, but he escaped"
"Same old story" interiected a
veteran-"bullet hit the Bible"
"No," continued the doughty lit
tie general, "the book saved his life,
but not in the common and accepted
way. The soldier was found seated
behind tree, keeping his promise
to his mother. "-Washington Post.

LORD KELVIN'S NAME.

The story of how the famous SCH
enlist, Sir William Thomson, as
sumed the name in the peerage by
which he is now known all over the
world is thus told by a journalist:
at was New Years day when l
called. The interview took place in
his lordship's library in the corner
building of the range of picturesque
professional mansions on the emf
nence known as Gilmore Hill,
around whose base winds a stream
made classic in song. Lord Kelvin
led me gently by the arm to point
from which the stream alluded to
could be seen winding in beautiful
curves through the grove called KEEL
win. Pointing toward the river, his
lordship, with quiet enthusiasm, re-
marked, i have lived and labored
all my life on the banks of that
stream, and why should l not call
myself after it?'"

The question of injurious sub

people, does not concern those who
use Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
Mothers need have no hesitancy in
continuing to give it to their little
ones, as it contains absolutely moth

only perfectly safe to give small

Cows Horns and Milk.

There is no doubt that cow
yields more milk after the removal
or suppression of her horns. This
was proved by Neumann, who saw
four Dutch cows without horns give
from thirty-six to thirty-eight pints
of milk day on poor pastures,
while some of the same breed, but
with horns, gave only twenty-four
or thirty pints on good grazing land.
This curious fact has been confirmed
by American breeders, who have
tried similar OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
