SUPERINTENDENT
CONTROVERSY
BITTER FIGHT BEING PRECIPI-
TATED IN SELECTION OF Sue
CESSOR TO PROF. WRIGHT
STATUS OF SITUATION. 4

Inc controversy over the Selec'
ton Of city school superintendent
has now pervaded all sections of the
city, and unless an adjustment oi
the differences is reached within a
few days the Lewiston independent
school district will be precipitated
into one of the bitterest fights
known in its history. Citizens gen.
orally deplore the condition, and
fears are entertained that detriment
will result to the schools, no matter
which faction is successful at the
polls, If carried to that extreme.
The trouble has been brewing In
the school board for the past sew.
eral months, and the question of Sc
lecting a school superintendent al
this time has been one of the issues
upon which the trustees could not
agree. When the question reached
point where three of the trustees
were favorable to securing a sue
cessor to Superintendent Wright. A
member of the board waited upon
Mr.. Wright and asked for his resig-
nation. This was declined, and the
election of successor was the re.
suit.
The records show that during q
period of the past 16 years the
school superintendent has been Sc
lected IA times during the month
of April and seven of the nine years
that Superintendent Wright has
served the city his election has been
held at this time. 1t was the sup
porters of Superintendent Wright
who urged the election of s4perin-
'tendent in April last year, when
the balance of power was Favorable
to his support, but the election OF
trustees changed the complexion OF
the board
On the other hand, charges are
being made against the members oi
the school board, one feature being
that Mr.. Lingenfelter acted both as
trustee and attorney for the board
which is alleged to be contrary to
the law. It is stated .-tAe~s nght
against Mr.. Wright Is being waged
by Mr.. Lingenfelter and that
charges of a sensational character
will doubtless be filed on both sides
before many days.

MILWAUKEE,. April 24.-The
Sentinel says desperate attempt
was made Wednesday morning to
destroy the Allis Chalmers plant at
West Allis. The plot IL shown by
the fact that dozen one-gallon
cans of gasoline were brought into
the plant In three telescopes. From
the appearance of the shop 4 pre-
mature explosion of oil scared the
wreckers before their preparations
were completed.
The automatic sprinkler system
was all that saved the plant from

ARKANSAS RIVER
 STILL RISES.
The Rise Today Being a Little Over an
 Inch.

Little Rock, June 8.-The Arkansas river still rises slowly, the rise today being only little over an inch, but this is consider able on account of the millions gallons of water required to make any increase in the depth of the river at it's present stage. The river has not yet reached 26 feet, which was topped by the last rise, though it has more flood tendencies at the present time than it had then. The riv- CT is full of drift wood, it being more of the long limbed variety now than the saw logs of the first rise. The river is also full of green trees, showing that the banks are caving badly all along the river, from the numb CT of tree tops seen above the surface. This in a measure accounts for the failure of the river to go higher when there is so much water above to come down - the banks are caving so the stream is widened, which takes more water to put the gauge up an inch. No apprehension is ex- pressed by the planters down the river now as to additional breaks in the levees.

PULASKI COUNTY
 GRAND JURY
Resumed Deliberations This Morning, After a Long
 Recess.

Little Rock, June 8.-After a recess of several months, the grand jury of Pulaski county re- sumed it's deliberations this morn- ing. This jury can do nothing more with 1905 boodling cases now, but there is plenty to keep it busy in other direction. It is minated that gambling has been going on in the city in rooms over saloons, brought to light by a shooting scrape which took place in one of them few weeks ago, and the grand jury will look into this with the promise of a number of gaming indictments. As this is a violation of the oath given the county Judge when saloon licenses were issued, if the court finds gambling has been going on, it will mean the forfeiture of the saloon license also. The saloon keeper took an oath at the time the license was issued, not to allow gambling on the premises.

At the meeting of the Federation

of South Dakota held in Mitchell
last week it was decided TO again
submit the county option bill to
the voters at the next general cleo
ton. A new bill, shorter in form
but embracing the principal fea-
lures of the one just defeated has
been prepared, and a petition ask
ing the legislature to submit the
bill to the voters in 1910 will be
circulated by the anti-saloon
league. There are two classes of
temperance workers, the leaders
and the drivers. While during the
coming two years the latter are
polishing their armor, we trust
that the former will continue their
quiet and effsctual work of educa-
ton and moral suasion.

The Board Of Law Review, the
highest judicial body of the Gener-
al Land Office at Washington,
handed down a decision last week
that is likely to stir things up a bit
unless Congress rushes to the res
cue and passes legislation that will
Icurtail the effect Of the decision.
The opinion lands on commuta-
tion proofs pretty hard. II simply
announces for the first time, in no
doubtful terms, that party who
takes homestead land with the in
tention of residing thereon fourteen
months, making the necessary i'm
| provements and cultivating the
land as required by law, will have
his entry held for cancellation.
Strict compliance with the COM
mutation law is not enough. The
surrounding circumstances must
indicate that the party, when he
filed on the land, intended to make
final five year proof and hold the
land permanently as his actual
residence.
In the case decided the party had
been on his land with the exception
of two single nights, continuously
for fourteen months. He had made
substantial improvements and had
nearly twenty acres under cultiva-
ton, yet acts of the party before
filing and after proving up indicat-
ed that he took the land solely for
the purpose of securing title and
never intended to reside on the
land after the patent was issued.
The entry was cancelled entirely
on the ground that the facts indi-
Gated that the entryman had in
tended to commute and leave the
land from the first.
| It is announced that under the
decision all Communication proofs,
where patent has not been issued,
will be held for Investigation. If
investigated lot of people who
have hauled their trunks to the
train on the date of proof and have
pulled off other stunts of that ma
ture, will have something to think
upon that may worry their gentle
souls a bit.-Ex.
