Moved Telephone Line

For the past month the users of
the Bell Telephone branch line,
which runs up Spring creek, have
been having trouble in that some
malicious person has been cross
ing their wire with the line that
runs to the Kuykendall ranch.
For half a mile in the edge of
town, the two lines run on the
west line fence of the Hot Springs
property and someone has several
times twisted the two lines to-
gether, thus cutting both parties
off from connection with the GEN.
trail Office here in town. Had there
been any very urgent need for a
doctor, or aid of any kind, this
would have worked a great hard.

Forest Service Items

Administrative control of the
forest reserves is beneficial to the
grazing industry. The sentiment
of stockmen turnout the west is
unitedly in favor of such control
because of the gain to them now
that the reserve ranges are safe
from overcrowding and deterior-
alton. Thus the rights of the in
dividuaI SCI are respected, and
the permanence of this great re-
source is assured. l wish to com

President Roosevelt issues or.
der Resembling Hitcock's order
Requiring Examination before
Issue Of Patent.

Washington, Feb. l5.-Westerr
members of the senate today re-.
ceived from President Roosevelt {
copy of an order just issued
which virtually revokes Secretary
Hitchcock's order suspending issu.
ance of land patents until entries
can be examined on the ground
by special agents.
The President has so amended
the secretary's order that a home
stead and timber land entries may
now be patented, wien entrymen
have complied with the law and
submitted proof thereof, no field
examination being necessary.
In fact, under the modified or
der, examination by special agent
is only required where fraud is in
dictated, or when the homesteader
is endeavoring to commute.
The modification is in line with
the recommendations which have
recently been made to the presi-
dent by several Western senators.
The presidents order states that
no examination in the field by a
special agent shall be required in
the following classes:
First-Final fve-year homestead
entries heretofore made where the
proof is satisfactory and complete.
Second-Final certificates and
receipts in final 6ve-year home
stead proofs heretofore or hereaf
ter made when the proof is salts
factory and complete.
~Third-Homestead entries COM

which annual payments r re-
quired.
Fourth--Entries where claim
ants compliance with the law has
been established by contest or 9TH
er regular adverse proceeding.
Fifth-Entries confirmed by
virture of any act of Congress.
Sixth-Selections and entries in
which no residence or improve
ment is required by law, when the
lands embraced are situated in
noh-mineral localities, as shown
by records of the geological sur
vey, or when their character has
been fixed by investigation and
classification made in accordance

SCHOOL BOARD
Teachers Salaries Increased
lnducement to Attend
Monthly Meetings.

The Parish School Board, at its
meeting last Saturday, increased
the salaries of teachers, raising
white teachers salaries as follows:
First Grade $50; second grade $40;
third grade $50; principals, at
Covington, 80; Vaudeville rs; Sill
dell, rs; The salaries at Slidell and
Covington are largely supplemented
by the Town Councils. Other prin-
cipals will be paid 5 90 additional
for each assistant working under
them.
Negro salaries were raised to SAC
for first grade, $50 for second grade,
the third grade salary remaining at
$25. The aim of the Board is to
have as few as possible of the lower
grade of teachers. One hundred
dollars was appropriated to the
local colored school and the manage
ment of the school placed in the
hands of the trustees Of the Coving-
ton High School.
The Board resolved to require the
presence of every teacher In the
parish at the monthly institutes,
and that there might be no cause
for absence, 1t will after Sept. 16,
pay 6 cents per mile to every
teacher attending, besides the ex-
pense of conducting the institute.
The Board agreed to pay half OF
the cost of nstalliug new furniture,
the balance to be raised by local
trustees, and to pay from the fund
of the Seventh Ward, the cost OF
the construction Of the new school
building on Bayou Lacombe.
Superintendent w. G. Evans
urged the Board to employ a super
visor of penmanship and drawing
for the schools of the PARISH, whose
duty it would be to go from school
to school ana instruct both teachers
and pupils, and 1T the monthly in
stitutes to teach the same subjects.
Mr.. Evans urged this as a step to
wards the introduction of manual
training at later date. The Board
was not quite ready for this step.
but passed resolution requiring all
the teachers in the parish, attend
ing the summer normal schools to
take instruction IN these subjects.

Summer Normal Schools.
Continued from first page.

Summer Schools during the sum
mer of 1907. 1t is considered adj
visable to classify these schools as
follows: Three schools for begin.
ners IN teaching; six schools for
teachers now holding SECOND or
third grade certificates and two
schools for teachers holding first
grade certificates and normal
school and college diplomas.
Considering tue convenience OF
the largest number f,teachers, and
i former distribution of summer nor
NAL schools. it is thought best to
locate the eleven schools as follows:
/. Schools Cor beginners 10 teach
ing, eight weeks, at Natchitoches,
Ruston, and Lafayette, schools be-
ginning June 3, and closing July
26, 1907.
2. Schools for teachers holding
second or third-g grade teachers Ger
tiicates, four weeks, at HOuma,
NaJchitoches, Crowley, Hammond,
NapoleonvilIe and JonesviIle. The
Schools beginning June 3 and clos
ing June %, 1907
3. School for teachers now hold
ing first-grade teachers certificates
and normal school and college di-
plomas, six weeks at Baton Rouge.
School beginning Jure 8 and clos
ing July IL, 1907.
Capable faculties have been pro
vided, and the schools will be con-
Quoted along new lines, enabling
each teacher to select such subjects
as will best prepare him for bis spe-
cial line of school work next ses-
sion.
No teacher in your parish should
fail to attend one Of these schools
thus failing to gain the benefits to
be derived from a month Of faithful
effort in professional improvement,
Those attending are allowed a
credit on their examination for Ger.
tifcates, aud under the law are en-
titled to preference when teachers
are selected for the schools.
It is particularly important that
superintendent do all in theiI
power to encourage large num-
Der of capable young people to at
tend the schools for beginners in
teaching, to the end that the genera
J shortage in the teaching force
throughout the State may be sup
piled with teachers having at leas
fair preparation for their work.
Manuals of the work of the
e schools have been mailed to th,
teachers, but superintendent ma,
obtain needed supply by writing
