BlaCkhall's Father Dead.

Forest ranger, James Blackhall,
who came down from Encamp-
ment Tuesday, had just received
word of the death of his father,
James Blackhall, at Rat Portage,
Canada, on the 10th inst. He
was a travelling man and died sud-
denly from heart disease while alb
sent from his home which was in
Toronto. AS he was a hale,
hearty man, his death falls as a
sad blow to his family and Mr.
Blackhall has the sympathy of his
many friends here in his bereave-
ment.

Right OF Way Attorney Here.

Chas. E. Oehler, an attorney
from Denver, arrived here Friday
and will make settlement with
property holders for the right of
way of the s. & E. road. His
headquarters are at the Hotel
Wolf. He has not yet been over
the line of road but expects to
take the matter up soon with each
man thru whose land the road will
run. 1t is now practically decid-
ed hal the road will not go up
Spring creek but it will follow the
first line of survey up the river.

Electricity is the coming power and
electric roads the future means of all
local and much thru traffic. Many
of the large trunk lines are turning
to electricity as the most safe and
economical power and the time is not
far distant when all railroading will
be done by mean of electricity. The
trolly line is one of the most revolu-
tionary inventions of the age. By it
all places, no matter where located as
regards elevation or situation, can be
reached and the great and pressing
question Of quick transportation Is
practically solved. The people of
this valley may look co~nfidentally to
the electric road as their means of
redemption from isolation. 1t will
not be five years until the Saratoga
valley will have electric connections
with Denver. When that time comes
our progress will simply be phenome
nal.

Short of School Funds

District No. 8 is not the only one
that feels the shortage of funds in its
treasury. The auditing 'committee
that made its report in District No. 8
at Rawlins on the day of the annual
school meeting, had this to say OF the
shortage of funds, which it says is oc-
casioned by two things:
"First-The poll taxes collect
ed in this district we're only about
'one-half what was anticipated.
"Second--The amount appor-
toned to this county from the
state land income fund, and con-
sequently to this district, was
very much less than was antici-
pated in the estimates of a year
ago and very much less than we
have received before"
The same state of affairs existed in
this district, as we said i'll last weeks
Sun, and it is useless to cavil or find
fault with the trustees, for it is a
matter beyond their control.
