a RAISE IN SALARIES.
Teachers in the Denver Public Schools
Get Handsome Raise.

TeAeherS in the Denver Public Schools
Get Handsome Raise.
Denver.-The salary schedule. pre-
pared by the committee on salaries of
the Board of Education, has been pre-
sented before that body and practically
approved. When the teachers con-
tracts were signed last Jane the
amount of the salary was left vacant
The sloyd teachers. who teach manual
training works in the grades. proved
SO scarce that their contracts were filed
out n few days ago. in order to hold
them. Although the board has not
formally accepted the schedule, il prac-
tfcally did SO by this action. The sloyd
teachers have always received the
same amount as grade teachers and
their contracts have been filed out for
$50 a month for twelve months in the
case of all old teachers.
The total increase in the salary APP
preparation will be when all the old
teachers now holding position. reach
the maximum of $5S.0o0 n year. The
board is confident, according to one of
he members, that no increase in the
school levy need be made to met the
extra indebtedness. BY curtailing ex-
aenses in certain lines the extra salary
appropriation can easily be met, IL is
asserted. with confidence. Knockers
may claim that this is not so and that
an increase in levy will be necessary.
Happily, however. according to mem
bers of the board. there viii be found
few Knockers to cry down a long
needed increase in the salaries of Den
yer teachers. The need Of larger sal
aries to set teachers Of ability has long
been recognized. as the taxpayers are
as anxious rs anyone to have their chill
dren taught by competent Instructors,
The question Of an increase in sal

school election II was deeply agitated
and facts given TO the public that
aroused much interest The public
had not stopped to consider the in
creasing needs of larger salaries, the
fact that many had families dependent
upon them and that more money could
be made in other professions, The
question was not one Of politics. both
contestants promising to help raise
salaries II possible.
In raising the salaries the Denver
School Board was only following the
example set by Colorado Springs
which raised the salaries Of its teach
era to $Se the year around, last year.

Or. Marade. the French inventor of
voice telegraphy. says that the reason
women can talk longer. and faster.
and harder than men is because their
larynEes are narrower. He asserts
that there is need for tremendous

broad larynx-that an orator talking
to a big crowd does as much work as
. porter who shoulders 400 pounds.
On this basis there are several gen.

Spirited Meeting Held at
Ladysmith, for the Purpose
Of Continuing Work.

Reorganization on a new basis,
under new system, new man
agement. and possibly a new
name will perpetuate the spirit
and work of the North Wiscons
sin Farmers Association, if
action decided upon at the meet
ing of the delegates and officers
held at Ladysmith last Saturday
be carried to fulfillment. Steps
to bring about the desired con-
dition is to be taken at once and
when in shape for presentation
will be brought before another
meeting to be held at Hayward.
ID. M, Maxcy of this city who
is Chairman of the Executive
Committee and represented
Bayfield, County at the meeting
returned Sunday. Mr.. Maxcy
who since the organization of the
Association has been a hard
worker for it's success express
ed much confidence in the re-
suit of the conference and hopes
for the continuance of the good
work in affecting the settlement
of Northern Wisconsin with a
desirable class of farmers apd
others who are adding to the
wealth and resources of the
whole commonwealth by putting
the new lands under cultivation.
I: The plan in view is to effect
organizations in each county for
the promotion of the interests of
that particular county. as pro-
Ivided by the new state immigra-
ton law and to effect union of
these organizations to keep the
"Grassland" car on the road and
in other ways continue the work
that the association started some
years ago.. A Mr.. Maloney of
Rusk county was employed as
an organizer to get the various
counties in line and he was di.
rected to be begin the work at
once with a view to getting the
car out promptly next fall.
The legislature recently pro
vided for the appointment of a
commissioner of immigration.
The position was given to A. D.
Campbell, a Ladysmith news
paper man. The law on the
subject stipulates that each
county may form it's own asso-
citation for the purpose of pro

Nav Be Made the Basis OF Suit
Against an Ex-offic;al.
Former Register Of Deeds
G. A. Calder says he is not
Worrying About it.

| was the word "plne" In the
deed recorded in the Office of the
Register of Deeds Of this coun-
| ty in 1902 or was it added by
mistake? This is the question
that will be settled soon.
Whether it was or not makes no
difference SO far as the actual
suit is concerned as that has al
ready been commenced by one
Roberts against the John D.
Young Lumber company. The
amount of damages asked is
$4,000 for trespass. The basis
of the suit is this. The Lake
Superior Lumber company sold
to the John D. Young Lumb her
company the timber on certain
tract of land in this county, The
claim is made that the instru-
ment conveying this timber read
"all the tim ber", while the re-
cord in the Office of the Register
of Deeds reads all the ''pine'
timber The grantees cut all
the timber, not alone the pine
timber but all other kinds of
timber. Now comes one Roberts
who bought the land from the
Lake Superior Lum Der company
subject to the tim Der deed and
claims that he purchased it on an
abstract of title taken from the
records in the office of the Re-
gister of Deeds, which reads
that the "pine tim Der only had
been sold to the. John D. Young
Lumber company and that
therefore he is entitled to dam
ages in the sum of $4,000 for the
cutting of the timber other than
pine from the land. The entire
matter hinges on the word
"pine". Was this word IN the
original deed or did the register
insert it in the records by mis-
take? Mr.. Calder who was re-
gister when the transaction took
place and who made the record
says thatit either was or it was
not and that Notwithstanding the
fact that he has been rendered
the defense, his attorneys main
tain that he cannot be held re-
sponsible. 1t is a fine point of
law and will be tried at the pre-
sent term of court held at Ash
land. No suit has as yet been
begun against Mr.. Calder or his
bondsmen. He was bonded for
$4,000, and f. Tetzner, B. Un-
grodt and L. A. Simonson were
his sureties. It has been ru-
mored that the action against
Mr.. Calder had already been
started and that he and his
bondsmen have actually been
made defendants in O. damage
suit for $4,000. The impression
has also gone abroad that Mr..
Myhre the present Register is
involved and that the trausac-
tions took place during his term
of Office. Neither of these stories
have any foundation and it is
possible that nothing will ever
be done about it. Mr.. Calder
says that he does not propose to
permit either himself or his
bondsmen to suffer and he will
fight the matter at every turn.
