Bid Increased.

At the hearing on the combinations
Of the sale of the real and personal
profit of the Suffer Greek State Bank,
which was held on Saturday last, in
the superior court, there was some
spirited bidding. The highest bid
received by the receiver, Fred Eudey,
was S225O. The property included the
bank premises in Suffer Greek and a
lot of personal property including the
banking outfit, fixtures etc. The
price was run up to $1,000, at which
price it was finally sold to Dennis E.
Madden of Suffer Greek. Whether
the purchase has been made as an
Investment on his own account or in
behalf of others, we do not know. 1t
is generally understood, however,
that other parties are interested IN
the matter.

A Valuable Continuance.

Andrew Plccardo, as every one
knows, hauls all heavy machinery to
and from Electra. For this work he
uses a heavy wagon and has the load
drawn by Ia or more animals. The
road to Ele ctra has many short turns,
so short in fact that not more than
four or six animals can be used in
pulling around these sharp bends.
To swing the truck, heavy in itself,
with several tons on top, requires
careful driving. Heretofore his son,
Louis Piccardo, had an arrangement
of iron projecting in front of the for
ward axle, and securely fastened to
it. The post connecting the side sup
ports were notched, as it we're. When
the driver reached sharp turn in
the road it was necessary to back the
entire team in order to place a ring
in notch so that the truck could be
swung as desired. 1t was simply a
pull out of the centre. forcing the
wagon to travel as desired. Now this
backing took up lot of time and the
son has been trying to devise an addi-
tional contrivance to save all this
extra work. He devised an iron
frame like the one just spoken of and
fastened it to the same axle, but pro
iecting still further away. A rod
with an iron roller bearing on and
free to travel back and forth on the
front of the frame with an attach
ment which engages any notch as de-
sired has been added to the truck.
70 make a change for swinging the
truck now requires but few seconds,
and the animals stand still while so
doing. One has but TO push the rod
and attach ment with but little eff ort
to the point desired, turn a nut a
few times, and all the team pulls to-
gether. No more loss of time and
the load is not thrown upon a few
animals. The device has merit and
reflects credit upon the originator.

very apt to be entirely critical.

want in this line. Nothing but the
best is good enough for them. That's
why Logan, the busiest photographer

amongst the critical class. His work
is most excellent. You'll find it
handsomely finished, clear and dis

First subject on the program was
"Writing in the Primary Grades, by
Mrs James. Writing for the first six
months should be black board work
after which broad ruled paper is
used. Copy work begins at end of
9th month. Allow children to keep
their copies as incentive to better
work. DO not overlook the value of
this subject as a means OF busy work.
Following Mrs James, L. Ii. Kirk
dweIt briefly on the subject of 'Eng
lish. A child advances Ia language
just as he develops in his thinking
power. Have the pupil who is in
different to this work use personal
experience as topic. Do not be too
exacting about points of lesser i'm
puI tance. Strive to get the original
thought we'll expressed in the original
language of the pupil. Mr. Kirk con-
cluded his remarks with a few words
Of advice on discipline. The aim of
the teacher should be: FIRST, to Sc
cure the best conditions for carrying
OIL the work of the school. Second,
to establish sound moral judgment.
Third, to secure seIf-control. Fourth,
to insure wise and courageous action.
Mr. MaXfield of the Preston School
Of Industry, next addressed the in
stitute on the benefits to be derived
from work aside from our book work,
directed along systematic lines in a
systematic way. Manual training
means seeing and doing, giving to the
pupil power of expression by the
hand. The Importance of which cannot
be oVerestimated.
MIR Berger of Amador City, spoke
of the success he had observed in
places where manual training was
carried on with the work OF the
school.
The report of the comm ittee on re-
solutions was read and adopted as
follows:
