ENCOURAGE THE FIREMEN

The fire department will request the
city council to give them the use OF
the back room of the city hall for
their use The boys need the room
as a place of meeting and also pro-
pose to fix it up as a reading room
where they can go to spend an hour or
two Of leisure time. The fire depart
ment is an organization which the city
should encourage in every possible
way, and one of the best means OF
doing this would be to fix up good
quarters for them. 1t would be a
means Of banding them together and
the efficiency OF the department would
be greatly improved, as the boys would
work harder to build up the depart,
ment if they knew their work was
being appreciated. The boys are
thinking of giving dance or two the
coming winter to secure money TO pur-
chase some much needed equipment.

Superintendent Brown Has a
Well Formed Plan
BRoONAGS HIGH EQUAL TO THE BEST
Pupils Should Study Course
to be Introduced

The city board of education has set
September 2 as the time for the fall
term of the city schools to begin 1t
should be remembered by all who ex-
pect to attend that you should be there
on the opening day of school, as there
will be no classes formed after school
is organized. This fact is emphasized
especially to the parents of children
six or seven years of age. Children
in the primary grade should be on
hand the first day. There will be no
classes starting at Christmas time in
the primary grades, hence If you ex-
pect to seud your child to school dur
ing the school year start him the first
day.
Only few changes will be made in
the textbooks in the grades this year
Mines Progressive Arithmetics" will
be substituted for Princes "Arithme
tics by Grades" Mines is new up
to date book just from the press It
Is three book series and thus will
make it little cheaper in the long
run to the purchaser. The third book
Of this series was in use here last year.
Some changes have been made in
the seating of the grades for the COM
ing year The fifth grade pupils will
be on the first floor of the new build
ing. and the first and second grades
on the first floor of the same building
The remaining grades will be in the
old building the same as last year.
with the exception that the fourth
grade will occupy the room which the
fifth grade in charge of Miss Miller
occupied last year. The room which
Mrs. De Motifs had last year will be
used as a geological laboratory and
the room which Miss BOnesteel oc-
cupied last year will this year be used
by the high school class Of mathema-
tics.
Last year our high school changed
from a two year to three year course,
ana tnlS year the tOurtn year VIII be
added. The following is the course Of
study prepared by the superintendent.
It will be seen that two courses are
offered and the student may select
either one The course is strong
one and compares favorably with the
best anywhere. Students graduating
from this course will be able enter any
university in the country without eX
animation. The high school students
are requested to study these courses
closely and have your work pretty
well arranged before the beginning Of
the year The following is the course
which will be followed rather closely
the coming year

the college experiment station. Mr..
Chilcott is now in the employ of the
department of agriculture and has
charge OF all the experiment work of
the department in dry land agriculture
He spends about one-third of his time
travelling and the balance of the time
is engaged in experimenting the work

the work being carried on at the col

the work being done by Prof. J S. Cole
Mr.. Chilcott went to Highmore Mon

the sub-station and will go from there
to Belle Fourche in the Black Hills.
At the latter place the department is
carrying on some experiments in irri-

ATHLETIC PARK IMPROVED

w. S. Elliott, who is in charge Of
the improvements at the college ath'
letic park is certainly doing fine job
and when he gets through the grounds
will be in the best shape they have
ever been. The large embankments
at the turns, which were put on when
bicycles were in use, have been taken
off and the dirt will be used to grade
up the ball field. The football field
has been plowed up and number Of
loads of stone turned up have been re-
moved. The whole field will be filled to
the depth of six inches with black dirt.
The greatest objection to the field in
the past has been the number Of peb-
bles which have constantly worked to
the surface and made it dangerous for
use as a football of base ball field.
Another improvement contemplated is
the cindering of the finish for about
200 yards.

A WELL RENDERED PROGRAM

The congregation at the Methodist
church Sunday evening was treated to
a delightful song service rendered by
the church choir under the leadership
of Prof. F. J. Haynes. Every anthum
sung by the full chorus was far above
the average of church choir singing.
Prof. A. B. Crosier delighted his many
admirers with a flute solo and Miss
Josie Williams also clearly exhibited
her skill as an accompanist on the
piano.
The song by the ladies quartet com
posed of Miss Ruby Williams the
Misses Degnan and Edith Hubbart
was worthy Of special praise. This
quartet has not been practicing to-
gether very long yet their voices
blend so nicely and they sing so we'll
in unison that they are recognized as
one of the best ladies quartetS in the
city.
Prof Haynes and Miss Ruby Will
liams in their duet deserved the pralS-
es they received, while the male quar-
tet composed Of Mcssrs Hubbart, Gro
sier, Haynes and Sharp rounded out
the program in fine form.
Miss Edith ThOrnber presided in
her usual easy manner and the invo-
cation by J. S Miller was we'll suited
to the occasion.

PlUCkY BALL TOSSER

Little Lefty Burwell, the southpaw
who did some pretty work in spring
training with the Indians, has uncco
sciously accomplished one of the most
remarkable feats ever heard of in base
ball. After a tryout, Manager Carr
sent Burwell to the Sharon team Of
the Ohio and Pennsylvania League.
The youngster made a great showing
there for time, and then his work
fell of bit. A few days ago a pain
in his shoulder. which had bothered
him more or less for month. became
SO severe that he went to a surgeon
to be examined. An X-ray photograph
of his shoulder shows a fracture of
the shoulder blade, and a crevice an
inch long was discernable. Burwell
then recalled the time when his
shoulder first bothered him seriously
and found that he had pitched IL
games since the injury. Most Of his
games were winners, at that. For
pure. downright gameness. Burwells
exhibition just about surpasses any
thing in the national game. He is a

EAST BUTTE EXPECTED
TO REACH HIGH PRICES

This statement concerning East Butte
by George l.. Walker. in the Boston Com
mercial. will sound good 10 the Salt LAX
crs who got in at 3. particularly as the
market is now around SIS:
East Butte has emerged from the leas-
ing system and has begun operating its
mines on its own account. The company
began hosting ore from the 4O0-foOt level
OF its No. 1 shaft on Monday. It's shaft
is already below the 600-foot level. where
q station Is now being cut. and from
which a crosscut will be extended imme-
Liately.
while the area or demonstrated min
eral values owned by this company IS
comparatively small. its several ore bod
fes. or veins. are exceedingly rich and
the company will earn great deal of
money during the coming two or three
years. il copper remains at about its
present level. The high grade character
OF It's ore should enable the company to
produce its copper at a very low cost
and 10 earn dividends even on a 12-cent
metal market IL is understood that the
company has excellent mining manage
ment. and il is a well known fact that
its financial backing is of the best. Those
who are largely interested in the stock
believe IL will be worth between $25 and
$40 per share one or two years hence"

CHARMING ON COPPER.
Shows Why Price of Metal Must
Hold Strong This Year.

In reviewing the copper situation. j.
Parke Claiming president of the Ten
nessee Copper company, says:
while the figures of production for
1906 are not yet available. it seems quite
likely that the production of, the United
States will not exceed 1000. 900 pounds.
or that OF the whole world, 100000 600
pounds which will be but slight in
crease over the figures of 1895.
Many factors have operated to pre-
vent any material increase i'm production
i'm the year 1906. the two most important
things being the immense demand for Ia
bor all over the country for new con-
structiOu and the inability of the rail-
ways Of the country to handle the neces-
sary supplies"
After commenting on the various camps
of the United States and Canada, Mr.
Claiming concludes as fOllOws:
''While undoubtedly Recent copper Will
interfere to a certain extent with new
construction il seems that at 20 cents
capitalists are willing to go ahead with
the classification of existing railway
lines and therefore il can with confidence
be predicted that nothing at present VIII
cause the price to break below lS or ~
cents pound. While aluminium theo-
retlcallv at it's present price could SUI
persede copper. yet the difficulty OF OBJ
tanning any quantity OF this metal ana
the mechanical difficulties of handling IL
have prevented its extensive use In trans
