Editor Grit-Advocate: | believe
that the time is ripe for Sedgwick
county to erect and equip county
high school building. Not to adver-
tise our prosperity, for it speaks for
itself. but to accommodate our great
and growing class of high school STU
dents whose future we'll being depends
in great measure upon the opportun-
tiles provided them for preparing for
the great conflict of life.
While space forbids a discussion of
the real merits of the ca Sc here. | will
be pleased to divide the time with any
one contrary minded, at Sedgwick, at
seasonable time, for full discus
sion of the questNn..
Respectfully

Editor Grit-Advocate: There are
many questions of vast Importance
| coming before us. Some are of vital
| Importance, not least of which is our
county high school. We are glad to
| say we have one. We Use it as one OF
our great Inducements to get people to
| locate with US. Education is the step
ping stone to morality. Without it
we can not afford to be. Ii is like our
churches. We may not all attend.
but we are Interested.
Sedgwick county's high school is
about three years old. That it has
been success. goes without i ques-
ton.
The present directors hav We done as
we'll as any one could do under the
existing conditions. Shall we con-
tinue it? Shall we have high school
building to adorn our county?
This question is to be settled soon.
consequently Il few facts as we find
them will help us to act intelligently.
In 1907 the county commissioners
were asked for two mill levy. A
two mill levy is all there is now. and
it is thought if sufficient building
were erected this might be cut down.
We now pay two hundred and forty
dollars per year for Il building. This
is surely an unneedful expenditure of
money.
While do not favor Indebtedness
where it can be avoided. | am in ia
vor of the bond, for county high
school building. The valuation of
Sedgwck county is $1,000. OOo. 90.
This will take less than mill on the
dollar of valuation. With the reduc-
ton of mill on some other expenses
we can have our county high school
and none will he any poorer. The
citizens could and would point with
pride to our educational advantage
Bonds could he made payable in ten.
fifteen or twenty years, after which
time there will doubtless be many
more people here, a. least we hope so.
With a good county high school
building there would be no reasona-
bic excuse for the existing conditions.

Bio Fire in St. Paul

St. Paul, June l7.-The six
story Ryan Annex building was
completely Quilted by q fire
which was discovered shortly
after 8 O'Clock this morning and
which burned freely all day.
The estimated loss to the build

cupants is between $45O,OOO
and $5OO,OOO.
The fire originatedsin the base
ment of the store occupied by
the Palace Clothing company,
supposedly from a defective cleo
trio wire.
Several fremen were badly cut
by flying glass and 81 were over
come by heat and smoke. Ten
of these were taken to the hos
pita1 and the rest to their homes.
All of them will recover, with
the possible exception Of Lieu
tenant William Edwards, who
tonight is said to be in a critical
condition.
The Ryan hotel is across the
alley from the burned structure,
but it was not damaged III any
way and there was no alarm
among the guests.

Ford at several times in Canada
and told him that he would Tx
matters all right so that he
could return to the United States
without being arrested and 50
obtained $25 at one time tor
that purpose and thenhe induced
Ford to deed to him a lot which
he owned in Flaxton and in re-
turn for this he would see that
he (Ford) would not be arrested
if he returned to the United
States. In his dealings with
Ford he represented himself to
be a Especial deputy sheriff ap-
pointed by Judge Goss and had
greater powers than the regular
deputy. But Skinner was caught
in his game and he will now
have to deal with Judge Goss on
a charge of criminal contempt.

placed in the baggage car and
taken to Glasgow.
It's supposed that a west
bound freight ran over the man.
The body was cold when picked
up
1t was not known by anyone
who saw it, but from descrip-
tions given by passengers who
got off here, it is supposed to be
the corpse of one Cook, a sheep
herder, who for some time had
been in town on a drunk. Re
Gently he had been running the
Stephens ferry boat, but after
it got smashed on a sand bar,
he came to town.
He left here last night for Mi

dent happened him.
Parties who know Cook went
to Glasgow today and will be
able to identify the body if it is
that of Cook.

Drowned While Attempting 10 Ford
Arm Of Lake in Valley County.

Culbertson, June 14.-Word
was received here this afternoon
that Hugh Groin, a horseman,
who is located on an island or
peninsula OF Buffalo Fish lake,
was drowned late last eve
ming. The word was brought
here by Moses Fiddler, a Turtle
Mountain Indian, who has been
working for Groin.
It seems that a bunch OF
horses started to wade or swim
across to a point of land and
Groin, seeing them, got on his
horse to head them off. The
water was not supposed 70 be
deep at this point, and after the
horse had waded in some dis
tance, Fiddler saw the horse
plunge forward and then come
up again, and again make a
plunge. Crohn either got off to
swim or fell off and went under.
It's supposed that he was
struck by the foundering ami.
NAL and knocked unconscious,
for he never. came to the surface
The body has not been recover

Another person was at the
camp, but did not see the acci.
dent. A party left here this eve

covery Of his body. It was on
the north side of this lake where
Greer, the duck man lived and
murdered. The lake is also call.

Saturday, May ~.

Washington, May l2. - The senate
proceedings today were devoted exclu.
sively to the consideration of the rail.
road rate bill, and they included many
interesting and some sensational feat.
ures. The actual accomplishments ol
the day consisted in the completion OF
the consideration of the Allison amend.
ments, covering the question OF review
by courts of the orders of the Interstate
Commerce Commission.
There were several of these provis-
ions and all we're accepted as presented
or suggested by the Iowa senator, show
ing an almost perfect agreement among
Republican senators. Indeed, one .oi
the noteworthy features OF the day was
the practical unanimity of the Repub-
licans. They not only voted almoet
solidly for the Allison amendments,
but we're just as nearly united against
opposing propositions. When an ad-
journment was reached, there was etill
prospect of the continuance of the de-
bate for next week.
