The owners of the Opera House prop
erty have work started this week on
the %remodeling and finishing up of the
building. The front part is being ar
ranged for rental purposes on both first
and second floors as we'll AS the base
ment. The opera house proper will be
entirely rearranged, seated and complet-
ed as provided for in the original plans.
In fact money to the extent of over $500
will be expended in work needed on the
building from basement to the roof The
owners are to be heartily commended in
their undertaking and we think Lang
don citizens cannot do better than sign
the petition being circulated in which
the request is made that the people
sanction the act of the city council
making exempt from taxation for ten
years. that portion of the property used
as an opera house and place Of public
entertainment. The owners express a
readiness to meet the demands of taxa
ton on the front part Of the building.
from which they expect to realize a
srource of income by rentals. and the
request that the taxpayers give assent
to the tightening of the burden of
taxes for ten years ON the opera house
is we think a demand in which they are
entirely justified, when the existing
conditions in the matter are given nm
impartial consideration.

for the public good, but rather to Sc
cure their own personal ends. To
these few who started this agitation,
have no apologies or explanations to
make. but to any who may be in
huenced by preiudiced statements,
invite careful consideration Of the
following;
The principal grievance against the
school board seems to be the short
term of school this year, and in this
connection wish to say that no one
regrets this more than the school
board. In this district we have never
hess than nine months, and we gener-
ally have ten months, school. Our
last ten months term ran into the
month of June, and many people said
it was a shame to compel children to
attend school in warm weather.
This year the school board arranged
for nine months school. Part of the
money for school purposes comes from
general tax On the county, and the
balance Is made up by special levy in
each district, which must be made in
July. 1t is impossible for any board
to determine with any degree of &C
curacy how much money will come
from the general tax, as that depends
upon the number Of children in the
county on Sept. 10th of each year. The
general tax Is apportioned per capita.
The school board figured out as near
"a possible what the expense would
be and made the levy accordingly
One expense is always difficult to
determine in advance-that of school
supplies. All books, pencils, drawing
paper, etc, are furnished free, and
this is the only'free text hok district
in Chouteau county. The county
superintendent turned out to be less
than the year before, and two large
items of expense, which We did not
figure on, viz: rebuilding the furnace

snent made just one months differ,
ence in the school year.
At the beginning of the school year
the school trustees could have taker
advantage OF several means provided
by law for raising funds, but did not
see any necessity of taxing the people
and carrying a surplus over to thu
next year. The board could have ar
ranged for funds to continue anothe

ILLY-KINSLEY
fight TO A DRAW
Continued From First Page

Round l. Both men step to the
center Of the ring and commence
mixing at once Both land lefts and
rights. At the end of round Kins-
ley lands two lefts on Reilly. No
damage done. Honors even.
Round 2. Reilly sends IN wicked
one on Kinsley, who retaliates with
light left. They are sparing cautious
ly when Reilly sends in right and left.
Both are working hard when Kinslsy
puts two lefts on Reilly's jaw.
Round 3. Again they mix it and
Kinsley lands two nasty ones on Reilly,
when they clinch. On breaking Reilly
sends in upper cut, but missed. Again
they clinch, and Reilly puts bad one
to Kinsley's ribs.
Round 4. Both men are fighting
yiciously, when Kinsley pokes Reilly
on the left eye. Reilly comes back at
him with left to head. At the end of
round Kinsley put two lefts to Reilly's
wind.
Round s. They exchange rights
and lefts. Kinsley sends in hard one
to shoulder. Reilly however blocks
cleverly and not much damage is done
in this round.
Round 6. Both are very fresh and
Reilly puts left to Kinsley's mouth
tinging it with red, Kinsley grinning
good naturally. Reilly rushes Kinsley
and they clinch. In the breakaway
, both are tanning the air. At the close
of the round Reilly puts left to Kins-
ley's jaw.
Round 7. Fighting up this round
had been fast and began to tell. The
men are more cautious. Kinsley lands
light one on Reilly nose. Reilly
comes right at his man, but is forced
to the robes. He, however, by clever
foot work and blocking evades serious
punishment. At the end Of round he
lands right and left on Kinsley.
Round s. Kinsley comes right UP
and lands several blows on Reilly,
who contends himself with blocking
and side stepping, when, seeing an
opening, puts left swing to Kinley's
mouth, who shakes his heads and
splutters some of the red over his op
ponent's shoulders in the clinch. Both
are sparing at end of round.
Round 8. Fighting at this tins
assumed the stage when caution was
the better part of valor. Yet botf
men were apparently ready to mix 1t
should occasion demand.
Round 10. They were apparently
/ getting their second wind. Kinsle.
led for Reilly's head, who cleverl.
blocked. Reilly came hack with lef
