Amount received last year from
state school fund income, county school
tax and graded school aid was $685..
Estimating the same amount to be
received next year it would require
the raising of about $500 by taxation
in order to meet the appropriations.
The balance on hand this year, 1929. 03,
was considered unnecessarily large, and
only $500 was levied for the coming
year. Glen Flora Star.

FISHING SEASON OPENS.
SpeckIed Beauties Beginning to Bite
Summer is Here.

Speckled Beauties Beginning to Bite
Summer is Here.
The bright summer days the
past week have ushered in the
preliminary days of the fishing
season, and there are precious
few men in Elk City of the Isaac
Walton tendency who have not
tried a cast in one of the spark
ling mountain streams in this
vicinity. The close of the long
rainy season appears to have
come as a relief and the cool re-
treats where the speckled beaut-
les abound in season have enticed
business man, miner and laborer
out in natures garden. 1t is yet
early, however, for trout runs,
and the varying results has
caused the expert to be cautious
about letting competitors for
highest honors know of their
movements. Some fishing tackle
is hid in the timber and the
owner. occasionally goes for a
walk. A citizen strolling along
American river one day this week
ran across fourteen business men
all of whom had decided the night
before or early that day that they
did not want to go fishing. The
average fisherman is thinking so
much on the number of fish he
has caught that all he needs is a
fish pole to tell a good story.
1t is a little early for good fish
ing, and the roily water from the
work of the placer miners pre-
vents lively biting by the few fish
that are now in the streams. L..
C. Ross holds the belt thus far,
having caught 80 trout Tuesday
afternoon.

win first money from a stranger.
The subject of horse racing was
brought up in Nick Ingram's sa-
loon. The stranger had horse
that could run some, but there
were a number in the crowd that
lowed" Miles Rice's gray could
beat EN-. A match was made,
$40 a side, and the crowd went
out to see the fun. 1t was easy
money for the gray.
