Mining men from all over the
state are becoming interested in
the Yerington district. All we
need is judicious advertising, boost
ing of the right kind. Work such
as is done by active Publicity Blu
reaus and Chambers of Commerce.
A combined effort by Yerington,
Buckskin, Morningstar, Granite
and Mountain View would accom-
plish wonders. 1t can easily be
arranged and in less than two
months people in every state in
the Union will hear of the great
Yerington district at least once
week. Already we have received
requests from two eastern publica-
tons for news letters. One cham
Der of commerce has written for
reliable information regarding the
recent copper strikes. 1t would
cost very little to maintain pub
licity bureau and Yerington must
have one.
The Rawhide trouble over the
wage scale was a troubles trouble
that troubled outsiders more than
it did those actually concerned.

terested to adopt the motto of Sis

Bile till trouble troubles YOU"

mres being 1857 ,S23.S9 Ii is seen that
while the proportion of enrolment in
the ungraded schools is about a fifth
of that in the graded schools, the
amount paid to teachers is only about
a tenth of that paid in graded schools.
There are two districts in the county
where teachers are paid as low as $25
a month, one being in the extreme
lower end of the county and one in the
extreme upper end.
Comes From Taxes.
The money 10 operate the schools
comes from taxes levied by the boards
of the different districts, supplemented
by the funds from the state, about $10,-
600 year. This fund is distributed
by the superintendent, and over two
thirds goes TO Rock Island and Moline.
Rock Island received s3.490.3S, and the
Moline district, including Moline,
Ridgeview and East Moline, received
$4,000.
The enrolment in Rock Island is
stated at 3,S22, and that in the district
in which Moline is included was 1850.
Rock Island paid s61,745.99 for teach
ers. and total of $164, 361 81 for school
purposes, while the Moline district paid
$77 .S24.17 for teachers, with a staff of
30 more teachers than Rock Island,
and spent but $127,S1S.5S for school
purposes. Rock Island paid $4,000 on
the PRINCIPAL of district bonds. and the
Moline district but $3.50, but general
expenses in Rock Island were $4,000
greater than for the Moline district.
1t will be seen that Rock Island has
considerable higher standard of
wages for teachers than is paid in the
Moline congressional township dis
trict.
