School Notes.

Cities are not anxious to see the
day of first-class country schools.
No teacher should be employed to
teach in the rural schools who knows
nothing of alienation.
Only three states in the union have
begun to make speciality of training
teachers for country schools.
The rural districts must be willing
to pay more than the city teacher re-
ceives for teaching one grade.
The country schools should he
graded and have system of classifi-
cation and alienation of work.
If the patrons of the country dis
tricts wish good schools they must
have at least eight months each year.
The training for the teachers pro-
fession is conducted along lines for
eign to the needs of country schools.
The county superintendents should
have meeting and devise a system
Of grading and classification for the
country schools.
The country people pay taxes to
train teachers how to instruct city
pupils, yet city school boards will
not hire them until they have made
a success In country schools.
There should be county superin-
tandents' meeting each year and the
ieApensas should 10 provided for by
law the same as the county assessors
meetings.

Our Water Works.

Another pressure test of our water
works system was made Wednesday,
the many leaks on the line having
all been repaired. The gauge indi-
Gated pressure of So pounds at the
school house and lO6 on Water street.
The result Of the test was that leaks
have sprung up in IL number of new
places, and these must and will be
repaired before the system can be
said to be in first class condition.
The opening of the pipe joints at
the Sheridan bridge was fixed up last
week, the water being turned off and
the pipe raised to its former position.
1t is yet undecided what change will
be made in the matter of something
permanent to conduct the pipe line
across the river, and it is possible
that none will be made for the
present.
In regard to extending the system
to all the inhabited portions of the
town, 1t is evident that nothing can
nor will be done this fall. Doubtless
this winter the council will take up
the matter, decide on the extensions
and advertise for bids and let CON
tract, so that work can be com
menced next spring.
After that rain in the early part of
the week the town was treated to Il
quality of water which was anything
but pleasant. 1t was of dark amber
color and it's principal ingredient was
mud. 1t seems tina! this condition of
the water may be looked for after
every freshet until the intake at the
headworks is changed to something
more practical than the existing
plan. The filter there is no filter in
any sense of the word, and even If it
were in working condition no provi-
sion was made for it's cleansing un-
less the system is shut down for u
week or SO. Two filters would have
overcome this-using one while the
other was being cleaned, say, twice IL
year-but this was not considered
when the specifications were drawn.
The board has now under serious
consideration u plan for doing away
with the entire present headworks

n Ahe pHSSlcdnS ol Cne clUy are
amazed at the work he is doing, and
have tried to shake the wonderful
influence he has over the people,
even going so far as to threaten pros
ecution, but rs he does not accept
any money for his services and does
not give out any medicine himself,
they have been powerless to inter
fere.
Cooper created considerable amuse-
men9 at the expense of the doctors by
asking them-why they did not write
their prescriptions in English SO
their patients would know what they
were taking.
Since the interest has become so
widespread that Cooper cannot meet
the.people personally, he is receiving
an enormous mail and keeps large
force of stenographers employed In
answering it. In the meantime
stories of marvellous cures continue
to pour in.
Mrs. G. Fry, living at 1872 Oak
street, had suffered agony for months
from rheumatism. In telling about
her case she said:
II have had rheumatism for over
nine years. 1t has been getting
worse every year until have been
almost a cripple from it for the past
past eighteen months. / have been
unable to write for over three years,
as the knuckles of my hands We're so
swollen l could not close my fingers
enough to write. Every joint in my
body was in the same shape, swollen
and intensely painful. The suffering
has been too great to describe. /
have seen n doctor every week for
ten months and have tried in every
way to get we'll.
Last week 1 came here and bought
some of the Cooper medicines. l
was told to come back in case / did
not improve. have come back any
way just to express my thankfulness.
'YOu see my hands. The swelling
las almost gone. SO has the pain.
If you will lend me IL pencil j will
show you that can-write." Mrs.
Frye here took II pencil and used it
reapily. ~ told neighbor who has
rheumatism about IT, and she said
maybe it isn't the medicine; maybe
it's something else told her that
until I knew what the something
else was Ishould keep oa-+s.king the
medicine and l advised her to do
likewise.''
Cooper claims to have received the
formuiar of the medicines he is using
from an aged priest in a sleepy Span
ish town in old Mexico. The Mexi-
cans believed that holy water or
some supernatural element entered
into their composition.
Cooper receiver an enormous daily
mail. Letters are coming from every
part of the state asking for advice.
The philanthropist reads every LETT
ter carefully, and replies to eacl:-..se
advising the remedy which is appll-
cable to each individual case.
While his remarkable cures are the
chief topic of conversation, many
stories are heard on the streets and
in business places Of his goodness to
the poor. His gifts of food, money
and clothing have relieved great
amount of dlsefess and have greatly
endeared him.to the people.
He is beginning to show the great
strain he has been' under the past
two weeks, and IT is understood that
he will remain here only one more
week.

Give US a few more boosters like
Sheriff r. G. McNeill, says the Ver-
nal (UtaM Express, and the popula
tion of this valley will be doubled in
a few years and the real estate will
soar skyward. He actually kidnapped
a man at Mack the other day and
brought him to Vernal. The man
was SO pleased, after he saw this
beautiful country that he bought a
valuable farm and then hurried to
his Colorado home to tell his friends
about the wonders of this part of the
world. Fifteen more Colorado FAM
lilies will settle in this county as a
result Of Mr.. McNeilrs boosting.
Otherwise they probably would have
gone elsewhere. The man who~pur-
chased the farm says he never had

Upon motion the various bills of
II. Hamlin were laid on the table. 1t
will be remembered that u few
months ago Mr.. Hamlin was given
the contract to tap the water mains
and installing the service throughout
the town, but the bond he was to file
at the time is yet Forthcoming. hence
the above action.
The board then proceeded to select
officers for the remainder of the
term, they having been elected last
spring for only six months. 1t re-
suited as follows:
II. B. Scott, clerk.
Mrs. Mary Lord, treasurer.
DIR. Samuel French, health officer.
Office of attorney not acted upon.
The clerk was instructed to notify
the owners of the Thayer ranch to
put in n drain in the gulch they filled
up at the extreme west end of Main
street.

excepting the valve with which to
turn water OH or off. The new plan
calls for an eNtention of the Pinch
pipe up the river from its present
terminus, on II slight grade, several
hundred feet, and the upper end to
be perforated pipe. This pipe would
be from 10 to l5 feet under the level
of the river bed and covered up, and
1t is thought would furnish the town
with plenty of clear water the year
round. II this should not be suffi-
cient, the perforated pipe could be
extended farther up. The soil there
being nothing but sand and gravel, 1t
is thought the plan is very feasible.
