AS sample of public sentiment in

Following from the Caldwell News. is

should be reserved for every beef
steer--are making their last stand,

Undoubtedly there are many honest

Doubtless, there is room for i'm

MADRAS TO HAVE HIGH SCHOOL
VIII Not Allow Religious Services In
the Rnilding.

The question of establishing high
school at Madras, says the Pioneer Of
that place, under the provisions of the
new law recently enacted, was sub
mitted TO the voters and carried al
most unanimously. only one vote be-
ing recorded against 1t. on this sub
jecs two questions were submitted,
one for the establishment of a union
high school and the other for the
establishment of district high school
should the union high scool project
fall through. Both questions carried
with little opposition.
Another question which was sub
mitted to the voters of the district
was that of permitting the several
church organizations of this place to
use the building as n place of wor-
ship. For some time this question
he's been a mooted one, many object
ing to the use of the building for 9TH
er than school purposes, and others
claiming the privilege for the church,
es until they had church buildings in
which to worship.
The vote was very close, 13 voting
for a closed building and 12 voting
for the churches. The vote was
tic M to the last vote. and It re-
quired that vote to decide. This de-
cision is, OF course, not final, as the
school directors have the right to
grant or refuse permission for the
churches to use the building. but 1t is
likely that the wishes OF the voters
In the district will be regarded by
them. as 1t was for this purpose that
the vote was taken.

Times.
He was at Dewey working for 81

him to come to work there.
Mr.. Gainer came Immediately, but
on arriving at Atlanta after hard
trip over the deep snow and mud of
the mountain roads, he was told that
the work would not be ready for four
or six weeks.
There being no stage coach, and
horses being a detriment instead Of
a help in the condition of the roads
and trails, Mr.. Gamer left Atlanta on
foot for HALEY by the way of Mat
tlngly creek and the Sawtooth lakes.
He expected TO make the 20 or 23
miles to the lakes by dark the same
evening, but he did not reach Clark's

noon the next day.

Mr.. Darrow is about so years old.
He was born In a little Pennsylvania

that his father was continually prod
