Question.-County Commissioner Yellott ex-
pressed himself as being much pleased because
the Court of Appeals affirmed the decision OF
Judge Duncan in the matter of the Baltimore
County Water and Electric Company against
the Highways Commission. tits not because
l am antagonistic to the company" be said,
'but because of its action in trying to over
ride the authority of the County Commission
ers over the public highways of the county
The Board was perfectly willing to grant 1t the
right to lay its pipes along Belvidere avenue.
but it was the water company's arbitrary
manner in attempting to force themselves into
Mount Washington against the protest of SO
per cent. of the residents and taxpayers that
caused us to take the action we did,"
Asked as to his views on the policy of the
water company now, in view of the decision,
MIR. Yelott said he thought 1t would make
application to extend pipes along Belvidere
avenue, for which right it would have to pay.
II would not object to granting it the right
over this avenue" he said, land would not
advise that the company be made to pay an
exorbitant price for the franchise, because the
people IN the eastern section of the county
need pure water badly, and it would not be
wise arbitrarily to deny the water company
the right to lay its pipes on any of the high:
| ways in the county in view oe the great demand
| for pure water from residents of Towson,
Govanstown and Lutherville. consider the

Making an Old Farm "Shine.''--Mr.
william JOeSLlnH. OF tal0 Mu U Ia hdllIOdu
now owner of the Reich Fendall-Amos farm.
saws the Belair Democrat has made substantial
improvements since his occupancy of a few
years The buildings are not now the objects
of his special care beyond placing them in
good habitable condition, their permanent i'm
provment being deferred until the land-the
! true source of wealth-is made sufficiently
/ productive to pay from its surplus the cost of
the increased building accommodations Mr..
Joesting bought the property few years ago
from the late DIR. Reich. Previous to his
purchase it had been in the hands of tenants
for money rent and the usual result followed.
The. buildings and the fences were neglected,
the fence rows allowed to widen with the
growth of weeds and bushes and the land was
refused all nourishment that cost kopeck.
In this condition Mr.. Joesting found the farm.
He found with it, however, good soil that was
hungry for food and responded readily to the
nourishing diet provided. This food and the
intelligent care and cultivation it receives has
restored its fertility of fifty years ago, when il
was accounted one of the best and most profit
able farms in Hartford. Mr.. Joesting Is moi
discursive but does things, is good neighbol
and possesses profitable farm, made so at 9
minimum cost-as proof of his skill, industry
and good management.

occupied by A. i.apean and Ed.
phalen caught fire in the roof about
two O'Clock Sunday afternoon, pre-
sumably from the chimney
An alarm was turned in but the

the signal and ran in the opposite
direction as far as the High School
bull ling before their mistake was
dis covered. There were but few
teams on the street and by the time
the boys had reached the fire they
had run a mile and were call in.
In the meantime the original fire
had been eXtinguished by buckets,
but the sparks blown by the high
wind had ignited the roof of \.
Weidman's house across the street
east, which was all ablaze when the
firemen arrived. OF course, the boys
made short work OF it but the roof
was quite demolished before the fire
was all out.
The house is allow one story

were saved. II the ytiref had gained
a little more headway several houses

Letter From State superintendent
Madison, Wis, April %, 1907.
Board OF Education,
Ladysmith, Wis.

Board OF Education,
Ladysmith, Wis.
Inspector Terry report OF his visit
to your high school on April 18th is
received. He expresses himself as
we'll pleased with the general cond:-
ton OF the school as he found it, and
he speaks especially OF the good
discipline and OF the attention and
responsiveness of the pupils in recta-
ton. He has no criticisms to make
or suggestions to offer in regard to
the general conduct of the school.
The boys clubhouse is very poor
and was in bad condition. No doubt
the board fully realizes othis and will
make an early Improvement. About
the only satisfactory arrangement
for schools seems to be to put the
closets in the basement. If this can
not be done a new and larger out
house should be built.
The ianitOr work in the building
was we'll done and the rooms were
neat, clean and attractive.
From forty to fifty dollars should
be allowed for the purchase OF
additional physical apparatus next
year. A minimumlist is given in the
high school manual, and at least this
should be reached assoon as possible.
The inspector has no further recon-
mendations
congratulate you on the present
good condition and on the favorable
outlook for the future ofyour school.
Yours very truly,
G. p. CARY,
State superintendent.
