School Trustee Election.

Tomorrow is the day to elect
three trustees for the Canyon
City school and among those
talked of for this very important
position is Dr.. f. NJ. Wilson. He
has had experience along this
line of business and unless The
News editor is badly mistaken
a more capable man could not be
found in Randall county.
AS The News stated last week
being school trustee and filling
the place as it should be filled is
largely labor of love and self
sacrifice for the rising generation
and while not knowing positively
that DR.. Wilson would serve, The
News feels sure that he will, if
elected.
Later Since writing theabove
Judge Hunt has turned in an or
der for election tickets with in
structions to print on them the
following names:
W. ID. Scott
G.. Il. BurrOW
DR.. ID. M. Stewart
j. NJ. Black
r. G.. Oldham
John Knight.
The name of Dr.. Wilson will
also appear on the tickets and
such others as may be suggested
by those concerned until p. m.
this evening when the tickets
will be printed.

The Ceta School Closing.

Last Friday was closing day
at the Rowan school, which was
celebrated by a big picnic. The
nabors for miles around together
with several county candidates
met early and spent the day in
social enjoyment One of the
features was a baseball game
between the Fairview and Happy
teams in which the former
scored a crushing defeat on the
latter. Uncle Jim Wesley was
one of the principal rooters,
roofing for both sides alike and
hurrahing for Joe Bailey.
Uncle Jim is about the only Bal
ley man in the naborhood, so
that he had to make up, in noise,
for lack of numbers.
At noon a bountiful spread
was made on the grass of the
many good things which the
good women of Ceta know, so
well, how to prepare, from which
the hungry candidates partook
to their hearts content.
1t was an ideal day and an en-
joyable affair
The following Canyonites were
there, Co. Clerk, Tate, and family,
County Judge Henson, Coun ty
Attorney A. S. Rollins, COUNTY
Assessor, Joe Foster. Candi-
dates, Jack Cavet, Dick Sanford,
Sam Lotion and G. p. Hutchings.
c.. p. lionized himself with the
boys by umpiring the ball games.

Local Weather Record.

Mostly clear, dry and windy
is the record for the week ending
yesterday.
Saturday evening the wind was
from the northeast and almost a
gale. 1t told of storms in lower
attitudes and the details of such
disturbances in Oklahoma, North
Texas and in other sections were
related by the daily papers on
the two following days. Winds
we do have on the Plains but tor
nadoeS and cyclones never.
Wind continued from northerly
courses until yesterday morning
when it shifted to the southwest.
Wednesday morning there was
just enough ice to see plainly.
Vegetation was bitten a little by
the cold but no material damage
done.
1t was thought by some that
the fine rains of a few days ago
would finish most of the fall
sown grain crop. This thought,
pleasant at the time, is no longer
INDUCED in-more rain will be
required and the sooner it comes
the better for the yield in bush
els.
Crops and all else doing well
for the present.

Epworth League Picnic.

The Epworth Leaguers had a
picnic at the Six Mile Crossing
last Saturday. Time set for
starting was 9 a. N. sharp, but
as the hay wagon started to
lead the way, the frame came in
contact with another wagon,
breaking an axle. This caused
a delay of half an hour when
another wagon was borrowed
and all started. There was five
wagons, one surrey and six bug
gies all containing seventy-fve
persons.
The Six Mile Crossing was
reached at 11:15 when the yOun-
ger ones of the party proceeded
to climb cliffs, etc, in order to
acquire the correct taste for the
dinner which the elders were
left to put in proper order.
After dinner, and a good one
it was, sure, other milling eX-
cursions were INDUCED in and
continued with more or less can
yOn scenery and excursions until
about six O'Clock when thoroly
tired out, but happy as larks we
started homeward. Ballly
teams delayed some in getting
out of the canyon and then worse
still the sand storm struck us.
Disagreeable: | should say so,
and it remained that way until
safely within our homes in town.
We had a job holding the quilts
and other movableS as we came
in, but Notwithstanding all this
and the sand and dirt that filled
our eyes, we really had a jolly
time and are anxious to try it
again. e.. b.

DR.. ]. walter Fewkes, an investiga.

DR.. J. Walter FeWkes, an investiga
tor employed by the Bureau OF Eth
nology, who has been looking intos the
origin Of the first inhabitants of the
island of Porto Rico, now reports his
conclusion that the West Indies were
formerly connected with South AmerI-
%, whence came the primitive Carrib-
cans to Porto Rico, and not from Yu-
eatan, Florida or elsewhere, as held
by the scientists who accept the the
Dry Of prehistoric island extending
almost across the Atlantic Ocean from
she Caribbean Sea to Africa. This IA
oled Atlantis, now supposed to have
been submerged in some change in the
sarths crust, has served as the hypo-
thesis to account for immigrations OF
primitive man, mammals and plants
from the Old World to the New, thus
accounting for the ruins of Egyptian
pyramids ard architecture in Yucatan.
Dr. FeWkes virtually skaters this the
DRY by asserting that the ridge OF the
Antilles extends from north to south
instead of from east to west
