The Hand.

In old days there were angels who
came and took men by the hand and
led them away from the city Of de-
struction. We see no white winged
angels now, but yet men are led away
from threatening destruction; a hand is
put into theirs which leads them forth
gently toward a calm and bright land,
80 that they look no more backward.
and the hand may be a little child's.-
George Eliot.

Circular Letter to County SUI
perintendents.

new school law provides that ap.
portionment of the public school
fund shall be made by the county
superintendent on the third Mon
day in January, April, July and
October of each year or as soon
thereafter as the county superin-
tendent shall receive the certificate
of the Territorial Superintendent
OF Public Instr ction, signifying
the amount apportioned to each
county. This implies that the
Territorial Superintendent shall
make an apportionment during the
early part of the months named in
the foregoing. 1t is the custom of
this Office to apportion the common
school fund at these times if there
is any considerable amount Of
money in the Territorial treasury
belonging to this fund. If how
ever, the amount is so small that
the apportionment to each county
would be an insignificant sum the
apportionment is not made. At
present, for instance, there is less
than $4,000 in the treasury to the
credit of the common school fund.
1t would, of course, be unwise, to
apportion this small amount. Let
it be understood by the county
superintendent therefore that when
appointments are not made from
this Office as specified in the law
the reason therefor is that the
amount of money to the credit Of
our fund in the Territorial treasur,
is too small.
Section XIV, closes with this
proviso: That no portion of the
money derived from said three mil
levy as hereinbefore mentioned
shall be apportioned by any county
school superintendent to any dis
trict which does not levy a specia.
tax annually of not less than three
mills on each dollar on the taxable
property of that district for its dis.
trict school purposes is hereinbe'
fore provided" At present the
Territory levies a two mill tax fol
general school purposes, but o.
course this proviso does not apply
to the collections under said two
mill tax. 1t will be proper, there.
fore, for each county superintend
ent to apportion the county school
fund on the third Monday of this
present month, irrespective of the
amount of special tax levied by
any district in the county. The
three mill tax provided for in thi:
this section will be levied by the
Territorial Auditor this month,
Collections for this levy will moi
take place before December Ist o,
this year. This proviso hereinbe'
fore mentioned does not become
operative, therefore, until the APP
portionment is made for the month
of January, 1908.

provides that school directors anC
boards of education, shall make ar

OUTLOOK IS GOOD
FOR THIS SEASON
Dun and BradStreet Give
More Cheerful Reports
of Conditions.

Duns Review says: Aside from some
conservatism in preparing for remote
requirements, directly due 10 stringency
In the money market, the volume Of
business is satisfactory. Trade exceeds
even the activity of last year In many
sections. ana as the crops are secured,
there Is a demand for goods at leading
jobbing markets that makes the outlook
bright for fall. Wholesale dry goods
sales are nearly concluded at the South,
and merchants are now hurrying ship
ments forward to meet the autumn retail
demand that is about to open.
Bradstreets says; The more cheerful
tone OF matters financial is reflected in
the reports OF expanding trade at large
jobbing centers on fall account Con-
servatism in buying is. however, stin
enforced by money market conditions,
and purchases are not so large as they
are numerous at many markets. Rela-
lively the best reports come from lead
ing Northwestern and Southwestern
centers, which apparently find crops
turning out better than earlier anticipat-
eed.
Crop conditions vary with sections and
crop reporting. Corn has been helped
by warmer weather. but needs a long
warm fall season If a full crop is to be
had from the record acreage. Cotton
reports range from good on the Atlantic
coast TO poor in Texas, the latter be-
cause of drought. Oats is the shortest
crop in fourteen years. Spring wheat
cutting is completed, with irregular
Yields. In connection with this matter
of ascertalRed short crop yields, Il might
be stated that the feeling is that higher
prices for all grain and cotton will go
far to make up for smaller quantities
harvested.
