has always stood for progress and ad-
Tancement as well as the highest and best
type of citizenship. His influence and
efforts were always at the disposal of his
friends, and he turned not away from
thosexho sought his help and guidance.
As railroad commissioner and law maker
he stood for the interests of the
whole people, and his record is one OF
which any man might well be proud.
His broad craftsmanship and conservative
counsel will be sorely missed in this com.
munity, where he was potent factor in

the drivers and the footmen had had

at once left her sleigh. ''They have as

to her party. And she waited patiently

Water and Lights.

last Monday evening, an exclusive fran
chise was granted to Messrs. Howell and
Jordan to establish a water and light
plant in Bamberg. The aldermen present
and voting were: Messrs. W. P. Riley,
Geo. A. Jennings, Miles J. Black, and
Henry J. Bradham, Jr. Mayor s. W.
johnson presided at the meeting. While
the mayor was in favor Of the franchise,
under the law he had no vote. All the
aldermen present voted in favor OF the
franchise.
A good deal of discussion was had over
the terms of the franchise, and the meet
ing lasted until twelve o'clock at night.
The question was carefully gone over in
all its phases, and we feel sure that our
citizens have offered to them most ad-
vantageous proposition. The franchise
extends for period of thirty years, and
the town has the privilege of buying the
plant after ten years, the price to be fixed
by three disinterested parties. The price
for arc street lights is $50 per year, and
for fire hydrants $50 per year.
Council contracted for rs arc lights and
90 fire hydrants, which, well distributed
over the town, will give US ample light
and protection from fire for several years,
even if the town should grow rapidly.
The minimum rates to consumers OF
light and water is also incorporated in
the franchise, and our citizens can rest
assured that they are fixed at low rate,
one which any one can afford to pay.
Council has gone into this matter in
businesslike way, and they have made
most advantageous contract, much better
than many towns double our size have.
The reduction in insurance rates will
be considerable, and our people will have
protection from fire as we'll. The town
can afford these Improvements without
increasing the present property tax rate'
and it will be money saving proposition
on account of the great reduction in in
surance rates, to say nothing OF the
protection from fire losses.
Next week we hope to comment more
fully on the terms of the franchise, and
also to; print some figures from other
cities, showing the tax rate and the price
paid for lights and water hydrants by
these cities. We have written already to
several places. Orangeburg's property
tax rate is 49, mills and also a license
ordinance; Spartanburg's rate is 12i mills
and license ordinance as well; Sumter's
rate is 144 mills with license ordinance.
These are all growing and prosperous
cities, yet the tax rate of each is more
than double that of Bamberg. Here we
can pay for lights and water without in
creasing the property tax one cent. Is
not that a good business proposition,
when We will save several thousand dol
lars year in insurance premiums

THE CRIMINAL SQUIRREL.
Hs Il q Thief and Q Murderer and q
Forest Destroyer.

Forest OeStroyer.
I wish to take away Tor all dme tne
character Of the squirrel he Is a
thief and a murderer. Admired By ig-
norant city people and by journalists,
he devotes his life to eating the eggs
and killing the young Of harmless and
useful birds, which, II permitted to
live and increase, would protect the
forests from harmful insects. BY KILL
Ing these birds the squirrel takes rank
as g forest destroyer. Moreover, the
red squirrel Is not the only sinner. In
my opinion the gray IS almost, II not
quite, as bad.
I have killed many squirrels caught
in the act Of eating eggs OF young
birds. Any bird that selects nesting
place which Is also adapted to the use
Of squirrels Is almost certain to be
elected. When q forest has been de-
stroyed by fires, lumbermen or insects,
It is almost impossible for natural Ne
forest1ng to take place II squirrels are
abundant In an adjoining tract because
they eat the seeds. Fifty seeds per
head each day would be low esti-
mate. Yet even this would make 49,
250 in a year. And seeds are not the
only thing. In winter the ground Is
often stewn with twigs that have been
stripped Of buds by squirrels. The
trees attacked are generally situated
at the border Of a dense forest and
would, If left alone, yield the greatest
seed crop. A single squirrel thus de-
sroys in one day thousands Of seeds IN
the germ. In Montana I have seen
the grays rob BIRDS nests Country

that it was matter that should be
handled very carefully, and the law
strictly enforced. 1t was felt that there
is too great a tendency to take children
out of school. Superintendent Franklin
said that at Faribault truant officer
is employed and all children are compell-
ed to attend either the public or paro-
chial schools.
superintendent Kennedy of Fairmont
and Torrens of Madelia spoke upon the
subject, The Young Teacher, Fresh
from the Normal Sehool-What Ought
to Be Expected of Her, and What Can
the Superintendent Do for Herr This
was well discussed, especially as to what
extent the superintendent should at
tempt to direct the work of such teach
ers. The general opinion was that the
teacher should be made independent oil
any attempt at dictation, and should re-
ceive the cordial, friendly support of the
superintendent.
How to Deal With the Problem OF
the WORKOUT Teacher was a subject
of great interest, discussed by President
C. II. Cooper, City Superintendent
WATSON of st. Peter, and County Super
intendent Sander of Nieollet county
The salary question naturally came in
for q large share of attention. 1t was
suggested that economy on the part OF
the teachers might provide for their re-
lief in advancing years, but this was
answered by the argument that salaries
ire not high enough in view of the de-
mands for living and for education to
permit the teachers saving much. The
general sentiment was that the public
should realize that the cost of living
has increased 100 per cent in recent
years without any material increase in
he salaries Of teachers. The idea was
proposed and approved that a canvass
5e made among the teachers of the
lifferent Minnesota cities in order to
secure report on the cost of living and
what the teachers are able to save.
