BELoITs SCHOOL SYSTEM.
Splendid Work Accomplished During
the Present Term.

Beloit, May 25-The people of Beloit
are proud of her schools, and the teach
ers have never appealed to the people
without receiving valuable assistance
There are about 635 scholars enrolled in
her city schools. OF these there are 49,
enrolled in the high school. Dr. E. E.
Brewer is president of the board of ed
ucation, and he never hesitates to serve
the schools in whatever capacity he is
called. Work is progressing on the 3d.
900 addition to one of the ward school
buildings. A large number of students
from outside take advantage of Beloit' S
school facilities, especially of the high
school. One7half of the buttons paid
by these students goes into the school
library fund, and a large number of
volumes are thus added to the library,
already a large one, each year. About
$500 or $500 of buttons are collected each
year.
The success of the BeIoit schools in a
measure is due to her efficient board of
education, as follows: President, DR..
E E. Brewer. secretary; J. w. Mccall.

A DAM CONTROVERSY
Power Company and Cottage Owners
In a Wranqle.

The Granville, n. Y, Sentinel says:
A contemplation of the embroglio over
the outlet Of Lake st. Catherine, In
Wells, develops many humorous and
interesting features. A few years ago
the Granville Electric and Gas com
pany purchased the dam property by
the highway. In this connection 1t is
opportune to say that ever since, and
especially during the past five months,
there has been whole lot of damn
ing going on. In the dam controlled
by the Granville company there Is a
water gate. In dry weather this gate
is opened to allow greater volume OF
water to escape into the stream that
supplies the Granville dam with motor
power The result has been that for
the past two summers there was not
enough water left In the lake to afford
habitation for the fish. The lower
lake was not navigable for row boats.
In the upper lake, where many cot
tages are located, docks and boat
houses were several feet high and
dry above the water. Granville prop
erty and cottage owners were natural
ly wrathful and went on the war path
The only way to retard the
Granville octopus from swiping all the
water i'm the lake was for the people
to construct another dam farther IN
stream which would prevent the wa
ter being lowered beyond a certain
depth. To do this II was necessary
to get authority from the Vermont
Legislature. Wells people generally
and Granville cottage owners especial.
ly joined in this request. 1t Was
granted and money subscribed to con-
struct the dam. Among the most ar
dent advocates of the new dam We're
several Granville gentlemen who have
since become stockholders in the cleo.
trio company. Even while the new
dam was being built they engaged in
a legal effort to prevent its construc
ton. Finally about the time the cam
was completed an injunction against
the builders was secured from Yer
mont court. This Is one of the humor
Gus features of the affair. And
thus ends the first lesson.
And now comes another mirth pro
voking act The electric company is
rebuilding its DAM as one director In
formed the Sentinel. Ito drown out
the other dam" The reconstructed
dam will be higher than the old one
but the dam built above being of stone
will not float and will therefore re
main where 1t is unless the court next
March. when the injunction is return
able, orders it torn down. Several of
the parties who own stock in the first
dam also have an interest in the sec
ond one, each structure being direct
antithesis to the other in its purpose.
To those who fail to see joke with.
out lantern, the Sentinel will state
that right here Is where it is apparent
to the naked eye. Now II is said that
the loyal and undivided friends of the
first dam, who We're restrained from
completing 1t, will apply to the courts
for an Injunction to prevent the elec.
trio company's dam from being com.
pleted and state waters monkeyed
with.
