street regarding the school system,
| have concluded that it is time
some;hing was said by the board OF
directors, and have decided to take
hard myself, being a member of
that body. Some, by inuendo, 9TH
ers by direct charge, state that the
school system is controlled mainly
by one member of the board in con-
junction with a certain member of
the faculty, to the detriment of the
school. In fact, you have stated that
Mr.. Kyle lives in the country, and is
very inaccessible; that l am so busy
with other matters that the manage
ment is consequently left to Mr.. Lit
tlefield. Therefore, all the crimes
and inproficiencies of the school of
teachers and pupils are traceable to
him and the city superintendent l

just conclusion and likewise unjust
/
| wish the patrons of the district
to distinctly and emphatically under
stand that l have been a party to
every official act performed by the
board since | took the office a year
ago. No teacher has been hired nor
teacher dismissed without the sane
tion of the whole board Not one
cent has been expended by the dis
trict without like sanction, even 10

am ready to bear my share of criti-
cism if it be due the board, and

Thirdly. I want to register my
disapproval of the inconsistency and

THE END OF THE RAINBOW

From the Mining Review. ,
1t is an old saying that a sack of
gold hangs at the end .. the rainbow.
Sometimes as the sun shines and glis-
tens g%loriously through a downpour of
rain on a summer day the sign Of hope
shows most plainly in the heavens, and
the ends of the rainbow seem to sink
into the ground just over the hill not
more than half a mile away. Try
ing to find where it touches the
ground, where the golden treasure may
be found, the seeker after wealth goes
on and on, only to discover that the
beautifully eolored half-circle in the
air recedes as the infatuated and de-
luded individual advances. Finally the
the weather clears, the rainbow dis
appears, and effort denuded Of sue
cess is the reward of the rainbow chas-
er. ~rerchance, during his eager rush
for the bag of gold at the end Of the
rainbow, almost in sight at times, but
never seen and secured, the well in
tentioned but over jealous man has
crossed over district after district
where the precious metals abound in
abundance, but which he has not seen
vi uOtiCcu.
T~ruthfully, it might be said that a
great many men who are looking for
prospects and mines in this western
country are rainbow chasers. Daily
and almost hourly they pass by mag.
nifcent but unexplored districts. They
search for gold and silver-the treas
ure vaults are beneath their feet. They
ignore the lodges they pass over, they
are always looking beyond where the
fields look greener-where the arches
OF the rainbow find a resting place,
and they 60 year after year and never
discover anything of merit or value.
1t is often the case that bonanza
propositions exist in the near neigh
borhood of well-known camps, to be
discovered through accident or through
the efforts of some tenderfoot. We
scott at the IDEA Of finding deposits
of the precious metal in certain local.
ties, and yet the day comes when long
neglected localities comes to the front
by leaps and bounds, and people won

been discovered before. Instances Of
this character are to be cited all over
the west, and daily surprises, along this
line, are constantly being sprung upon

an army of ~prospeetors, mining men
and investors.
Take Rawhide for instance. A
welLtraveled road runs along the base
OF Balloon hill and Grutt mountain. BY
the roadside below many a man has
camped lor the night, and above, with
Lodges in plain sight, have neglected to
sample them. Beneath their camp fires
existed placer gold, but the gravel was
never tested or panned. In the morn.
ing another start was made for the
end Of the rainbow, and the prospector.

hind them the wealth Of a Vanderbilt.
the treasure Of a Rothschild.
Nearly all Of the wonderful new
camps of the west have thus been run
over, for years. Wagon roads coursed
in or through them. Nature had her
signs and flags up, but these were not
seen until, possibly by chance, seldom
by intelligent research, some struggling
prospector left the beaten path, turn
ca into the hills, and found a fortune
"a district destined to astonish the
world, because of its wonderful min
eralization.
1t ID a matter Of fact that the min
ing sections of the west have been but
barely prospectoed as yet. We are
looking for the end of the rainbow,
and will some day wake up to the fact
that we are camping op the end Of a
list along the paths we have often

Probably Mr. Taft will lose a few
here and there from the foregoing list
but not many. Taking the round figures
however, he is credited with 400 votes
or 81 short of the necessary 1911 to give

have included in the Taft column not
