These acts were passed at the recent
session of the legislature and have
been approved by the governor. 1
wish to call your special attention to
some Of their provisions.
The high sehoi act has been so
simplifcd and modified that 1 be-
lieve that we shall be able to estab-
'ish several high schools in every coun-
tyA State aid, under this act, is con-
fined to rural districts and to districts
which do not contain q town or city
with more than $500 population A
high school may be established in a
single district or in an aggregation
OF districts. II the high school is To-
Gated in a country district it will re-
ceive aid. provided there are as many
as Is pupils in the high schol de-
partment. This provision will enable
a great many schools to come in
which could not qualify last ycar.
You will notice also that the act has
been very much improved in regard
to the provisions for appointment Of
trustees. When a high school in any
one county receives aid tuition will be
free to all pupils in that county who
are qualified to enter the high school.
Section Z, Of the library act, has
been amended. Under this amend
mcnt any uneXpanded funds in the
library appropriation can be used by
the State board of education to offer
prizes to the rural schools which will
make the most material Improvement
in building, equipment and grounds.
An appropriation for the say pur-
pose has been made by the Peabody
board to the School Improvement as
soctatton; 50 that I feel safe in say
ing that at least 80 prizes, of $50 and
500 each, will be offered. Please let
every country school in your county
know about these prizes. The COM
petition will be open until Dec. !. LII

Naught to Do With Case.

sharp tilt before the dispensary COM
mission today between Leading Coun-
sci T. B. Fielder and Commissioners
Henderson and NcSween over the
question Of going into the trial Of the
case of the Wilson Distilling COM
pany. These commissioners said they
preferred to go slow in this case, as
these people were before Judge
Pritchard and it would not be wise
to irritate him.
Il will take the responsibility in
that" said IIr. Fielder. Judge
Pritchard has no more to do with this
than he has with the Russian duma

no confidence in Judge Pritchard's
honor and no respect for his ability.
Attorney General Lyon and Attorney
B. L. Abney have agreed with me
that we should proceed regardless of

Mr.. Fielder promptly offered to get

Increasing Wheat Yields.

Spokane, Wash, Nov. 5.-Hybridi-
cation of wheat, with which the cerial
experts at the Washington State Col
lege, at Pullman, in the heart of the
Palouse grain belt, south of Spokane,
have just closed a series of success
full experiments, will add from
$1,S00,000 to $1,000 900 a year to
the value of the states product in
the future. Prof. G. w. Lawrence,
station c%erealist, and Prof. George
Severance, now acting head of the
agricultural department, took charge
of the propogating work four years
ago. 1t was ascertained late last year
that their plans were successful, but
they preferred to wait another year
before announcing the results. In
the meantime seeds of the hybrid
wheat We're sent to farmers in
various parts of the state, from whom
the final reports arc now being re-
ce1ved. The ranchers report that
the newly created varieties of wheat
be depended upon to yield at
least 10, and in many instances as
high as 20 per cent better than the
standard varieties.

VIII Ii. olevens ana "A. n. FUNK,
who hail IRON Iowa, Illinois and
Texas, respectively, came down lrom
Chamberlain a few days ago in a neat
little houSeboat, which was built for
them at Chamberlain. They were
on d little outing and have been
having it, especially yesterday morn
ing, when they undertook to cross
the river above the pontoon bridge.
Although they have Travelled some
distance on Old Muddy, the boys had
not yet learned the strength of the
stream, at least, not until yesterday
morning. Now they know all about
it, having had the experience. The
boat was going along nicely until
the n.;4in stream was struck when
the III. took charge of the case.
In a 4e" moments the boat was

In about three seconds it was a
case of 'all is lost The boat tilted
at the stern, filled with. water and
went down, the timber crashing
against the bridge as the boat passed
under. The young voyagers, quickly
seeing they were up against it,
jumped for the bridge, and just man
aged to catch hold enough to prevent
their going down stream. All three
escaped with a good wetting, but
about all the young men had with
them was going down stream. A
boat was quickly borrowed from
Captain Geisler, and two OF the party
started in pursuit. The houseboat
lodged on the point of a sandbar
just below the bridge a quarter of
a mile, at a point where the power
full current divided, thus making
rescue impossible.
A determined effort was made at
getting some of the personal effects,
but the boat had turned turtle, and
Old Muddy, as is her way, was quick
ly undermining the boat and sinking
it every moment deper into the river
bed. The boat was filling with sand
and little of any consequence could
be rescued. One Of the men had
his paper money on his person, but
he lost seven dollars in silver, a wall
liable leather bag, worth twenty-five
dollars and all his clothing. A sec
ond lost some very valuable papers
he said worth three hundred
dollars to him. Altogether, boat and
all, the three unlucky river navigat-
ors have sustained a loss of some
$500 with the only consoling thought
that they were alive, anyhow, to
tell Of their experience.
