r. F. Robinson. superintendent
of public instruction for Multno-
NAH county, was in the city Tues
day visiting the schools here. Mr..
Robinson is most enthusiastic
educator and greatly interested in
his work. The schools of the
county are most successful under
his supervision which speaks
strongly for his efficiency. We
were very glad to meet him as we
had known him several years in a
business way but had never the
pleasure of meeting him personally
until that date.
The city council is becoming a |
very weak sister. They meet
every meeting night and adjourn
without doing any business on
account of the holidays. At the
last meeting Tuesday evening the |
matter of clearing the city Of rats
was discussed and it seemed the
opinion of the solons that this |
should be done lest that dread |
scourge of the Asiatics. bubonic |
plague, should get foothold here.
We are not much scared at the |
plague, but we have no love for |
rats and we hope those who have
supply of the rodents will get
busy and make them hard to catch.
