H,sroa,cAl SKETCH

Indicative of La Junta's progress
and prosperity is the growth and
development of her public school
system. The public schools open next
Monday morning for the fall term
and at this time it is an interesting
thing TO look back and make com
parisons. Thirty years ago, away
back in 1877. the first school district
was organized in La Junta. The
first school room was of cottonwood
logs. l0xl4. half tone engraving OF
which. reproduced from an ancient
photo. is herewith presented. This
building is still in existence, being
now utilized by Mrs. George Spane.
of the Wickham addition, as a
chicken house. Compare La Junta's
first school building with the mag
nificent O.CO0 high school building
completed this year and now ready
for occupancy.
In September. 1877. when the
schools opened. the enrolment was
thirteen, embracing all the school
population save ten or twelve. The
enrolment this year has not been
completed but it will be in excess OF
200. The first school directors in
this district were all women Mrs.
George Spane. Mrs. A. J. Anderson
and Mrs. Cooper. Miss Ida Critten-
den was the first teacher. and Miss
Florence Brondage and Mrs. Hol-
lingsworth her successors.
In the year 1879 the school popu-
ton was thirty and the adobe build
ing now utilized as Catholic church
parsonage. was built, costing 81 600.
Mrs. Marshall taught in this for a
! little time, also J. e. Gauger.
| former county clerk of Otero county.
Messrs. Russell. Kilgore and
Spane, in 1883. put up the stone
building. No. 1. costing 81, 800. Two
teachers were employed. In 1904
| five room addition was completed at
cost of $4,000.

until 1890, assisted by Miss Lyon

During the year the Board of
Education has accomplished much.
Every effort has been put forth to
relieve the crowded condition of
the grades, and provide comfortable
rooms for all and in large measure
they have been successful. The re-
moval of the High School from the
Columbian building will afford the
use of FIVE additional rooms for
& ade purposes, though it will still
be nece ssary to occupy three base
ment rooms. 1t is earnestly hoped
that even these may be abandoned at
an early date. % S'ss's

have much to substantiate this.
Modern educational methods have

during which success is enjoyed in

modern education is no: responsible.
The Rockefeller type belongs to the
old school school that taught
nothing of the humanities. but tend

ficient in the things Of the mind to
the neglect of the heart. Moral

background. while business effici-
ency stood in the first ranks.
Instruction in formal ethics is a
small part of the work of the public
schools. There are times and places
when such formal instruction is Of
the highest Importance. The home
and church should recognize thei-
opportunity in this regard. The
public school. however. does its most
effective work by its persistent in
sisting. through its ordinary ex-
ercises. upon the qualities so fund
amental in civic morality. What it
teaches has. and must have. practi-
cally unanimous support.

What a Mans Beard Tells.

"You can tell some of mans habits
and read some of his traits Of charac-
ter from his beard" said the old bar
Der. eff a man spends his days at a
desk beside window his hair and
beard will grow faster OH the side to-
ward the window. Plants and boards
both flourish under the influence of
sunlight. Why, one Of my customers
found the effects of the side light SO
pronounced that he changed his Office
desk to face the window. Another in
teresting fact is that. when man is
up late or works long hours. he needs
a shave oftener than if he took the
usual amount of sleep. That's because
in being awake he keeps the vital proc
esses of his body in greater activity
than when asleep. The growth of the
hair depends largely on the circulation
of the blood, a: ::s;;y2 tt..s heart slows DOWN
when we sleep."-Kansas City Star.

Price of Ice to Be 10 Per Cent Higher

Local ice dealers have announced
that the price of ice will be 10 per
cent higher this year than last. This
advance is explained by the managers
of the various companies as due to
the increased cost of manufacture
and distribution owed last year.
Frank V. Morgan. manager of the
Seattle Ice company, stated yester-
day that the cost of producing ice
had increased more than 10 per cent
during the last year.
Practically everything necessary
to produce ice has advanced" Mr.
Morgan says. Pipe alone is 95 per
cent higher than it was year ago,
and fuel, lumber, horses, wagons,
harnesses and labor have all in
creased in price so much we are
forced to raise the prices. "-P.-I.

Chelan's future as one OF the great
mining camps Is assured.
So far not enough work has been
done to determine the size OF the
ledge. Mr.. Fourtner, who located the
first claim last November, has return
ed and will begin work Immediately.
He has some pieces of almost pure
gold that were taken from the rock
last fall.
A remarkable feature of the new
strike is it's accessibility and near
ness to supply sources. The best
claims are not more than two or
three miles from Chelan and they are
even nearer to the Columbia river.
1t is said that parties living near
mere have known of the existence of
gold on the butte for number o.
years; but have never ben able to
Locate it.
Placer gold found on some of the
bars along the Columbia river is sup
posed to have come down from Che
ian butte. Never, however, until IA
fall was any gold-bearing quartz dis
covered It is likely that the next few
weeks will determine whether there
will be any permanency to the new
discoveries.

A North Atlantic Curiosity.

'In the midst of the north Atlantic,
there is an enormous field of floating
seaweed which kept its place presum-
ably for centuries said an old sea
captain. ut occupies an immense
eddy about the fifty-sixth degree OF
west longitude and between the twen-
ty-second and twenty-eighth degrees Of
north latitude. There is a great differ
ence of opinion regarding the origin of
this floating mass. Some believe 1t to
be detached from rocks at considera-
BILE depth in the latitude where it
floats. Others suppose it to come from
the shores of the northern seas. having
been detached from the rocks by the
violence of the winds. Some again i'm
agine that it comes from the rocky
shores of Florida and Mexico, while
many others agree with me in believ-
ing that it has never had any other
than its present place Of abode. No
one has ever seen it attached to rocks,
nor have roots ever been discovered
belonging to it,

Barrel Rscira on Ice.

An exciting form of winter sport in
which Canadian boys excel is barrel
racing ON the ice. Ordinary barrels.
with their heads removed, are place
at regular intervals along the race;
course for about quarter of a mile.
Then at q given signal all the boys
skate for the first barrel. Many reach
it together. and as each skater must
crawl through all the barrels in or
der to win 1t is to be imagined that
there is quite scramble for first turn.
Sometimes barrel wheels completely
around while the boy is working his
way through it, and when he comes
out he is so confused that he skates
of in the wrong direction. Usually
the laugh of the spectators makes him
realize his blunder. and he quickly
turns about and tries to make up for
lost time. It is quite an exciting sport
and an interesting one also for the
spectator, as the boys and barrels bob
about in the most. amusing fashion,

Is brought into strong relief by the his

is the disembodied framework of
man, an Arab and an assassin. In the
flesh he was Suleiman ell Aleby, and
his hand it was that murdered Klebcr.
the commander Of the French revolu-
tionary army in Egypt For this crime
he was condemned by French court
martial to have his right hand burned
off, to be impaled and exposed to birds
Of prey and to have his body reduced
to skeleton. The burning off of his
hand Suleiman bore without a groan or
even vince, but toward the end Of
the dire ordeal the executioner hap
pened to touch another part Of his arm
with the redhot iron. ''This punish

the rest of the execution without CIV
