Delta within two weeks to COM
plete his purchases and open an
Office. The syndicate expects to

from Missouri. Thru Millard

Payne's Mesa Needs a School.

N. P. Masten YVES down from Payne's
mesa to spend Sunday with his family.
On account of the lack of school on
the mesa he is compelled to bring his
family to Delta each winter that the
children may have educational priv
ileges. Mr.. Matsen says the growth
and advancement of that section is be-
ing seriously retarded BECAUSE there is
no school and it is we'll known fact
that the American people will not live
where they cannot educate their child
ren, which is to their undisputed credit.
While Mr.. Matsen lives in Dist. lS, the
nearest available school-with the ex-
ception of the Dry Creek school and
that only runs three months-is at Eek
ert five miles distant. He contends
that Payne's mesa can support school
and that there will be plenty of schol-
ars. but the people will not remain
without one.
He says they had t3 scholars last fall
but on account of lack of school privi-
leges the people moved away.
MIR. Matsen says there is finished
lumber on the ground, bought two
years ago, and that log frame is up.
One would think, under these circum-
stances, school house should be pro-
vided in short order.
The situation, as near as we can
gather, is one wherein one district COW
ers about as much territory as three
ought to. 1t is very likely that three
districts should be made out of No. ls.
The country is developing rapidly and
the people demand and must have
schools. A school house on Cedar mesa
is now under construction and those
whose duty it is to attend to these
things should see that Payne's mesa
has a school ready for business by the
fall of 1907.
