Additional Colored Schools.
Larger Buildings Suggested.

One of the changes to be recommended
by the public school building commission.
which was created by act of Congress last
winter and which will report directly to
Congress this fall, will be the building of
new Central. Eastern and NJ Street high
schools and the use of the present Struc-
lures as big grammar schools. 1t will be
recommended that the new Eastern be
moved several blocks east of its present
location, the Central to the vicinity of
Washington Heights and the NJ Street
to a point north Of its present site.
It will be further recommended that all
three of these new structures be made
large enough to accommodate an average
attendance of 1000 pupils, representing
a total enrolment each term of 1000. and
that they be modern in every respect.
The erection of fourth academic
high school for white pupils in the south
west will also be recomme nded. as well
as a second acade mic high school for
colored pupils and separate colored
commercial high school.
Sale Of Grade Buildings.
Four of the ten or fourteen graded
school buildings whose sale is to be recon-
mended by the commission were named to-
day by Supt. Chancellor. They are the
Webster, 10th and H streets northwest; !;
the Berret 14th and Q streets northwest; :;
the Potomac, 18th street between Mary
land avenue and E street southwest. and
the John F. Cook, colored. o street be-
tween 4th and 5th streets northwest.
The first two are twelveroom build
inRs, and their sale is to be suggested
because they have no Fairgrounds and
the ground around them Is too valuable
for purchase In the opinion Of the mem
bers of the commission, who think that It
would be better to move the schools to
less valuable sites near by and get plenty
of ground. The Potomac Is regarded as
too small, poorly constructed and badly 10
Gated Lack of a proper playground is
the fault that is found with the John F.

The remainder of the schools that are to
be suggested for selling are small build
ings and do not At into the scheme of
consolidation proposed by Congress. AL

been definitely decided on by the commits

A neighboring paper tells of
miner who was going to his cabin
in the dark. He had been drink
ing some and on his way fell into
an old shaft. AS he fell he caught
a cross timber at the top of the
shaft, to which he hung for dear
life. While holding to the timber
he shouted for help but received
no encouraging answer. Then
prayed for safety. Finally being
unable to hold longer he let go
and fell exactly six inches. Get
ting up and rubbing the cramp
out of his hands he exclaimed:

As to Foreign Ads.

Within the past two months
the INDEPENDENT has had per-
haps fifty letters from outside
advertisers and advertising agen-
cies asking for space by contract.
The prices offered range all the
way from 25c. on the dollar 10
rs per cent of regular prices, and
most of the applicants wanted
special positions. The reply was
the same to all: That no favorit-
ism would be shown foreign ad-
vertisers over home advertisers,
either in price or position; that
the INDEPENDENT would make
contracts with advertisers who
were responsible, at exactly the
same rate home people were
charged, where the advertising
matter offered was not objection
able. So far we have not made
but one or two advertising con-
tracts on the many propositions
offered, and we shall not lose a
wink of sleep in case we never
make another one.
This matter of foreign adver-
tising" has been given much dis
cussion by the press of the coun-
try, and by editorial and press
associations at their meetings;
but there is just one way to
handle it. and that is for all the
papers to make this kind of a
stand. There is no reason why
that class of would-be patrons
should be favored above those at
home, whose prosperity and in
terests are identical with those
of the home paper, and whenever
a publisher discriminates in such
a manner he does his home pa
irons an injustice and would be
entitled to lose their custom.
Yet there are scores of local
papers that are taking such ad-
vertisements at from less than
regular rates to less than one
half regular rates-just because
they come from away-and tax
ing long chances of getting beat
out of the pay, besides.

in favor of such a tax in a county
like Delta, particularly when it
would amount to so little to each
property holder, and it solves
the problem of raising very
important fund; a fund which,
properly expended, would in
crease the value of every dollars
worth Of property good many
mills, instead of one-ffth of a
mill, which it would cost the tax
payer. The difficulty in raising
and maintaining such fund by
private subscription lies in the
fact that part will give freely,
while many will not. Then, when
county takes hold of such a
matter it Immediately becomes
one of public interest.
Such Associations, having for
membership all the enterprising
citizens and property owners
of the county, could do vast
good for the whole county,
and the INDEPENDENT believes
that the Delta county commits
sioners, with the sanction of the
taxpayers of the county, could
render excellent service and bring
about great future benefits by
taking this matter up. At any
rate it is a good subject for dis
cussion.

The Business Men S
Association.

DelCd COuHCy mas al dCIlVe
Business Mems Association, but
it needs a larger membership,
which would give it better CO.
operation of citizens and greatly
increase its influence.
No one will deny the good that
can be accomplished by such an
association, and this one should
be encouraged. Citizens of the
town and county should all take
an interest, become members and
attend the meetings.
At a meeting held at the Court
House Monday night it was de-
cided to inaugurate what has be-
come known as the Greeley
plan" for increasing interest, by
having the ladies of one of the
churches prepare evening dinner
at 6 o'clock, the citizens of the
town to be invited to the dinner,
each man paying for his dinner
and then attending the associa-
ton meeting to be held immedi-
ately after. These dinners will
be rotated among the churches
and will form an interesting
social feature of the Business
Mems Association meetings. 1t
was decided by the committee on
this matter to have the first of
the dinners by the Methodist
ladies, on Monday, November q,
Immediately after which the
business meeting of the associa-
tion would be held at Odd Eel
lows Hall.
AS a matter of fact very much
depends upon a good, active COM
mercial association in any county
that is trying to keep abreast of
the times. The last Colorado
Assembly recognized this when
it passed the law authorizing
county commissioners in the state
to levy a tax of one-ffth of one
mill on the taxable property of a
county to create a fund for ad-
vertising its resources and pro-
ducts. That Act reads as fol-
lows:
SECTION 1. The Boards of
County Commissioners Of the
several counties within the state
of Colorado, or any of them, are
hereby authorized and empower
ed to levy a special tax on the
taxable property within their re-
spective counties for the purpose
of creating a fund not exceeding
Ten Thousand Dollars in any one
year to be used for advertising
the county for the purpose Of
encouraging immigration and in
creasing trade in the products of
the State Of Colorado, provided
the total tax levies for such pur-
pose in any one year shall not
exceed one-fifth Of one mill on
each dollar of taxable property
according to the assessment roll,
and provided further that the
moneys appropriated under this
act shall be expended only under
the direction of regularly organ
lied and incorporated Boards of
Trade, Chambers of Commerce
or Commercial Associations,
either State or Local in character.
