FOR A CEMENT Dam.

A meeting Of business men and 9TH
ers interested in organizing q COM
pany to build a cement dam at Be-
lott, vas held in the Unity Club
rooms last Thursday evening. Con-
siderable progress was made and a
committee appointed to solicit SUBJ
scriptions to a stock company.
There is no question of the necessi-
ty for such a company and there is no
doubt that the proposition would pay
a good big interest on the investment.
The question OF financial c can
be clearly demonstrated and 1t only
remains for those who have the ear
to 60 ahead and do something for
themselves and the town.
Water is the coming power wher-
ever 1t can be had. It Is the cheap
est power in the world and every
stream that can be harnessed to a dy-
namo means q safe and paying In
vestment.
The water power at the old Beloit
dam is worth about S75 a day, or in
OCllcl WOlOS, dDOuU ULdU value Ill NOW0I
goes to waste every twenty-four hours.
No man need hesitate to invest In a
cement dam that will store water to
generate electricity demanded by
commercial needs, and the amount Of
power that IA be secured would be
ample for Canton, Inwood, Fairview
and Worthing, and perhaps Hudson.
1t is a safe and paying investment,
and we hope a company will be speed
lily formed.
The amount Of money needed is
about s35, 900, which would put in 1
fine modern cement dam and install q
complete electric plant, and a careful
estimate says that the investment
will pay Is per cent over and above
all yearly expense.
The whole question comes down to
a first class investment. There ID
nothing better or safer In this west
ern country.

Notice TO Subscribers.

Under a new ruling by the post
office department. under date of Jan.
l, 1908, weekly papers cannot be mail
ed at second class rates to subscribers
who are more than n year in arrears
which gives the publishers of all week
ly papers no option in the matter OF
extending further credit to subscrib-
ers. This new ruling is now in effect,
but the..department has granted the
newspapers time until April lst in
which to get their lists in shape TO
meet the requirement thereof. We
are compelled to ask all our subscrib-
ers who are in arrears to pay up at
once. We hope to hold all of u old
subscribers under the new system es-
tablished by the post office depart
ment, and, having willingly extend
ed credit to our delinquent subscrib-
ers in the past, we trust that they
will reciprocate the favor by prompt
ly settling up their accounts at this
time to aid US in the work that the
new ruling of the post office depart
ment puts upon us. Local subscrib-
ers in arrears are requested to call at
once and pay up their subscriptions
and thus save us the work and ex-
pense of sending out bills. State
ments will be mailed to delinquent
subscribers at a distance as soon as
possible, and we hope that, they will
meet with a prompt response from all.
The subscription date on your pa
per will tell you to what month and
year you have paid. Look at your pa
per and note the date. Under the
new ruling it would require every pa
per to be stamped il the subscriber
owes for one year or more.

day and then looks back to the
harsh ways of the good old
tines, cannot help but wonder
that the the teachers and parents
of past days should have been so
thougbtless and Indifferent in a
matter of such grave moment
to the children. I|
Pictures hanging on the walls
with subjects we'll selected to ap-
peal to the children through
their beauty or interestde veloped
in their Rotations added large
ly. to the attractiveness of the
rooms. In some rooms there
was also a very fair display that
was creditable to the authors.
Together with this the walls
we're all in good condition. in
fact, in the hurried visit no de.
facements at all were seen. The
desks we're all spick and span
and no scratches or cuts noticed.
The blackboardS, however. in
some of the rooms appear to be
wearing but. and the white wall
is beginning not only peep to
through the gre n tinlsf.
but to even stick it's head out.
New blackboards may not be
within the financial purvey OF
the Council or the School Board
this year, but next year black
boards will about have to be put
in in some rooms.
At a quarter past twelve the
bell rang for noon recess and the
425 children left their various
class rooms. and proceeded in a
very orderly and reasonably
quiet manner to the yard. Those
coming down from the second
floor made but little extra
noise and no rushing or stamp
ing occurred. For which the
children are to be complimented.
Awaiting on the grounds in
the shade of the large trees were
two lunch wagons, and to these
the children made a quick rush
and soon we're calling for ham
burgers and sandwiches. One
of the wagons is the property Of
. colored man by the name Of
Gonsouland, who conducts
Creole kitchen in the rear o.
the former Domengeaux hOte
and the other belongs to a young
cOlOred man named Clarence
There were two men in each
wagon and it kept them all busy
for a few moments handing on
the lunches. Both wagons have
stoves and cook the hamburgers
or heat them, as they sell them 81
that the children get a hot lunch
The charge for everything. ham
sand wich. hamburger, cake, pix
or other is five cents. The sand
witch and hamburgers seemed tt
be the most popular, very little
sweet stuff being bought. Ant
the lunches are appetizing. Thu
hamburger is made of chopped
up meat and looks like q fla
homemade sausage. This il
relished with pickle and mustar(

looking roll, and judging by tn,
way the children eat it, it is de
liciOus.
While standing watching tn,

Placements were observed either Of the
walls or the furniture. AS at the
other building, the blackbOards are
wearing out and wi II have to be re-
placed in another year. And when
they are replaced the position of the
boards should be changed in sOme of
the rooms as they are at present in
the wrong place. The doors have
been changed to open outward or in
ward, double spring hinges having
been substituted for the old hinges.
AS yet, however, the furnace has not
been fixed and should a cold spell
happen along the children of the Pri-
mary school will have to haev a holt
day. AS the furnace now is, it is
really dangerous to build a fire in it.
The faculty of the Primary school
with their grades is as follows: Miss
Mort beginners; Miss Henry, first and
advanced first; Miss Hull, second and
advanced second; Miss O'Quinn. third
and advanced third; Mr.. Riddle
fourth, advanced fourth and fifth.
After the dismissal of the beginners,
which is a little in advance of the
others, Miss Mort assists Mr.. Riddle
by teaching n of his classes.
Summing up, the visit to the school
was a very entertaining one, and that
if parents would visit the schools
often, watch the work and show in
terest in the work, that it would not
alone be a pleasure to them, but

wagons, the reporter tried to
look carefully over the wagons to
see how clean they YER kept
and what precautions were
taken to protect the food from
dust. etc. AS far as he could
see both wagons are carefully
managed, the meat is kept with
ice. and the other edioles pro-
tected in show cases. Having
hot lunches and for five cents is
certainly an advantage which the
present children enjoy over
those of previous years.
The school yard which since the
finish of the building has been a
miniature illustration of the foothills
along the Ohio, is beginning to take
on a more uniform shape under the
manipulation of scoops and teams.
The old city hall building was sold
some time ago for 500, and the money
is being used by the Council to i'm
prove the school yard, and already
there is q most agreeable change.
| When the grading is all completed
and the cement walks put around the
property, which the Council proposes
to do as Don as the necessary where
with is available, the grounds will be
very attractive.
The teachers in charge at the High
School with the classes they have are
as follows: First and advanced first
grade, Misses Freeman and Carter;
second and advanced second, Miss
Underwood; third and advanced third,
Miss Broadwell; fourth and advanced
fourth, Miss valverde; fifth and ad-
vanced fifth, Miss Dunn; advanced
fifth and sixth, Miss Mates; sixth and
advanced sixth, Mr.. McNaspy; sew
enth and eighth, Mr.. Cummings;
classes from the sixth seventh and
eighth grades, Mr.. Jones.
In the afternoon we made a visit to
the Primary school on the east side OF
the railroad. The smallest children
were just leaving for home as we
drove up between half past two and
three. The same conditions were
found at this school as at the high
school, and the work appeared to be
progressing fine. The same care Of
the building is being taken and no de.
