WYOMING NEEDS TEACHERS.
State Schools Are Not Supplied With
Good Instructors.

In speaking of the shortage of
school teachers in Wyoming the
Cheyenne Tribune says:
One of the most perplexing prob
lens which the board and the state
superintendents have to meet is the
shortage of teachers.
Some months ago the Tribune made
mention of the many vacancies, but
there has been little improvement
since and vacancies are being report
ed in serious numbers from all parts
Of the state.
A part of the duties of the board
has been to issue the examination pa
pers for certificates to teach, and to
issue the certificates to those who
have successfully passed the examina-
ton. The members of the board al
so examine the papers, instead Of
leaving 1t to the county superintend-
ents. as was formerly the case.
OF course there are many young
women who take the examination who
have never had special training or
study and who fail to pass the exami-
nation. In some instances this
means that the school must be closed
as there is no one to take the place
or the teacher who has been in charge
of the school pending the report Of
the examiners.
So many schools are thus short Of
teachers that the board has seriously
considered the wisdom of permitting
these teachers, even though they are
not competent, to continue to teach
until they either fit themselves to pass
the examination or until another
can be found for this district.
In this manner, it has been sug-
gested to the board by residents of
the districts affected, the children
VIII have the advantage OF some in
struction. even If not the best, which
is believed to be better than closing
the school entirely.

Capital stock, S2O.OOOOOO.
Property--The plants controlled by
the corporation are the packing houses.
fertilizer works. glue factory. soap fac

the packing houses In South Omaha,

Ing houses and plants controlled by the
organization Is known all over the
civilized world. The glue factory Is
one Of the largest In the country. The
soap factory Is also operated on q
large scale.
Although the capital alone Of this
srcat concern Is $2O.OO0.OOO the asses.
sors could only find $2,5OO.OOO Of per.
sonal property belonging to 1t.
The legal tax on S?O,OOO.OOO Is $780,.
The tax on $2,5OO.OOO 10 $4,000.
So the people lose In taxes on the
capital Of this concern alone $2i5,OOO
every year.
This makes total Of back taxes due

nstounds everyone. In the opinion Of
able lawyers, the very fact that bids
were not advertised for invalldates the
lease. This lease Is worth from
$4,000 to 100000 a year to the city,
as 1t Is the very best dock property on
the whole chain of lakes. Several people
would gladly bid $4,000 for 1t II they
were given chance. This sort of
business Is played out with the public
and the facts once understood will
arouse u storm of Indignation.
The Goodrich gang have all their
steamboats, registered from Duluth,
Minnesota. from which port they
hail" although they do not run to II.
1t Is alleged that this crowd "hail"
their vessels from Duluth to escape

furnishes them with police. fire and
