have seen his patch near his sum-
mer home agree that it certainly is a
good one. He has been At the work
of raising Strawberries for the past
three years or more. and during that
time has learned some things about
this delicious fruit and its pcculiari-
tics. one of the things being that salt
is not conducive to the successful
growth of the vino. This fact was
demonstrated two years ago. when he
sprinklcd the patch with salt to kill
the weeds. and made n barren waste
of the whole patch. After he had got
the salt out of the earth he set out
another lot of plants and feels today
that he has got one of the bcst lots

Complaints are made that the small
boys around the city are catching
pigeons, not with the snare. which is
bad enough, but with hook and line.
which is a type of cruelty which ought
to visit upon the offender the extreme
limit of the law. An instance of this
kind was noticed on Commercial street
Sunday afternoon by a gentleman who
was coming down the station platform
from train No. IL. and who saw two
boys catch pigeon in this way. Tho
boys stood in a doorway near Hotel
North. and had baited a fish hook with
something and thrown it out into the
street where is was quickly taken by a
pigeon. and the bird with the hook in
it's throat was hauled struggling to its
captors. The matter has been re-
ported to the police and a sharp look
out will he kept, and If any of the
young misCrcants are detected in the
act of catching pigeons by any means
it will go hard with them.

the following teachers were elect
ed for the ensuing vear: Supt.,

Strichen, in the high school.
Grades Bessie Kane, Phoebe
Minsart, Blanche Dalager, Ethel
Lloyd, Anna Martin, Bessie Mel

Clark. Out OF the twenty three
teachers, only twelve applied for
reelection
The wages OF the teachers were
raised materially, owing to in
creased living expenses. When
Mr.. Wolfe took hold of the school
in 1900, there were but five
teachers and175 pupils. Now
there are 100 pupils. Miss Ida
Clark, one OF the teachers, has
been connected with the Minot
schools for many years and is
getting more popular every year.
1t may be of interest to know
that Miss Clark taught the Mi
not school when she was the
only teacher.
