Returned From EuroDe.

P. J. Holmberg and daughter,
Miss Catharine, returned to their
home at Arctander last Thursday
after sojourn of several months
abroad. In Sweden they spent some
time visiting with Mr.. Holmberg' s
sister, Mrs. Stina Nilsson, at Len
nege, and also visited his former
home Bollnas, Helsingland. Trav-
cling thru the northern part of
Sweden, they visited Throndhjem
and Narvik in Norway and then
sailed along the Norwegian coast
to Bergen. On their way home
they saw Niagara Falls, and also
spent some time in Chicago. From
the latter place they were accom-
panied by Mr.. Holmberg's daughter
Sophia, also by Mrs. Gust Sundin
and two children, who will visit in
this county for about a month.
Mr.. Holmberg and daughter were
very much pleased with their trip
abroad, but they both agreed that
after all it 'seems good to get
home; there is no place like it any
Where.'

VOTED MORE
SCHOOL BONDS
Annual School Meeting Last Sat.
urday Re elects Board and
Votes for improvements.

The annual school meeting last
Saturday evening drew a very slim
crowd, only 20 being there. In
the absence of President Spicer,
H. S. Peterson was elected chair
man. Russell Spicer and A. O..
Forsberg were reelected as men,
bers of the Board Of Education for
three years, without any opposition.
The question Of voting bonds for a
new heating plant in the Central
building was taken up, and after a
thoro discussion a resolution was
offered authorizing the Board to is
sue bonds to the amount of $500,
or as much thereof as may be nec-
essary, said bonds to run for 20
years and bear interest at not to
exceed 5 per cent. On the ballot
II voted in favor of bonds and 5
against. The proposition there
fore carried. The meeting there
upon adjourned.
The Board has had the furnaces
in all the school buildings examined
by an expert in that line. He re-
ported that in the Lincoln, Garfield
and Lafayette buildings the fur
naces were in fair condition, only
needing some cementing of joints
to make them as efficient as such
plants can be made. He added that
in the Lafayette building it will
always be almost impossible to
properly heat all the rooms with a
hot air plant, on account of the pc
culiar construction of the building,
and that steam plant should be
put in whenever the present plant
became useless. In the Central
building he found the furnaces be-
yond efficient repair, tho he said
that some patching might make it
possible to run it for one season
more, with a forced draft using
about double the amount of coal re-
quired for a steam plant. Such
forced draft would of course in
crease the risk of fire.
In view of this uncertainty of
being able to operate the plant for
another year, the extra cost of do
ing SO if done at all, and the extra
fire risk, the. Board decided to put
in new plant this year if funds
were provided, and after the bonds
were voted Immediately went ahead
with the preliminary work. The
bonds for this purpose will not
prove an added expense for the tax
payers. The report of our local
janitor shows that the old plant
uses practically double the amount
of coal required for heating the
much larger High school building,
and all heating experts agree that
the saving in fuel will be from 40
to SO per cent; hence this saving
will more than pay for the interest
on the bonds even at the 5 per cent
rate, while if the state has any
money on hand the district will
have to pay only 4 per cent.
