A Fine Place.

Skilled mechanics are rapidly trans.
forming the interior OF the New Wind
sor Hotel at Salt Lake into what will
be, In reality, a new building In so far
as 1t applies TO the inside. Carpen-
ters, painters, decorators and numer-
Gus other mechanics are hurrying the
work to completion. Work on the
ground floor is now well started and
visitors are permitted to get the first
insight to what is being done to make
one OF the most elegant and conven.
lent hotel offices in tie entire west.
Within a short time patrons will
be admitted by the large new entrance,
and the first thing to attract the eye
will be the spacious otlice--the beauti-
full furniture, the artistic decorations
and the. tasty arrangement having
been planned with the double object
OF being both attractive and comfort

Two Views Of A DEBATE

TRENTON, Feb. 49, We had a de.
bate here the other night In which
Supt. McCarrey and T. II. Cutler dis
cussed consolidation, the latter be-
ing 'forninst" the proposition. Tom
is good fellow and may believe he Is
right, but there are several of us here
who do not agree with him, and we
want the people of Cache county to
know 1t
The debate was quite interesting
and your correspondent Will not deny
that Mr.. Cutters pleading for the
mother to protect her child from 5
O'Clock ride on cold wintfy mornings
had its effect, but for genuine argu-
ment he wasn't in 1t. Mr.. McCarrey
advanced twelve or fifteen pointed
arguments why there should be con-
solidation OF the county school dis
tricts, and evidently they were indis7
putabie, for Mr.. Cutler made no effort
to answer any OF them. He proved
that politics would play part, as he
says 1t did in the A. @. OF o., but that
only sounded like Tom wanted to
make political speech He forgot
that that kind Of politics has given the
A. G. nearly 300 more students than it
ever had in its history. Mr.. Cutler
also thought hauling students TO
school would damage their health, but
he forgot that they would be hauled
but little further than they walk.
He tried to work up sentiment in
several ways, and he partially sue
ceeded, but at no time did he meet. or
attempt to meet, SupJ. McCarrey's
plain statements.
Most OF us here would like to ha We
consolidation put of a year or two, but
few Of us are against the consolidation
plan, for the argument In its favor is
too plain and conclusive.

The Rus. f.h,n held most sue
cessful reunion ~ 'he Commercial
Club rooms at H. Nbuig. Ida on Feb.
ruary Is. There We're assembled 275
OF the defendants Of Patriarch Joel
Kicks, which, as near as we can now
get the census Of the family, is about
one-half the number now In the Nor
mon church.
Short speeches were made by Presi-
deuU Thomas Il, Bassett, A. Hearth
aud numerous members OF the family
one interesting feature OF the days
proceedings was the explanation made
by Nathan Kicks that relative Of the
ilmiiy, by the name Of Guy S. Rix OF
Concord, New Hamspire, has been en-
gagged for years in searching for com.
pling and publishing a genealogical
work of the Kicks family, and that

ready for another book OF 500 pages.
Contributors were asked for for gene
ology temple work and other expense,
ana without hesitancy in a single
member Of the family the assessments
were gladly accepted aud 500 raised.
Every part of the days programme
passed off with love and good fellow
ship
y gtoOm, however, was cast over
the company through the death Of
Peter Olsen, husband of Milley Kicks
Olsen, which occurred at Ashton, Ida,
on the 18th inst. The following resolu-
lions of coincidence were unanimously
adopted:
Whereas, Our heavenly Father has

Resolved, BY us, the Kicks family,
In reunion assembled this 18th day of
February, 1908, at Rexburg, state OF
Idaho, that we extend to our beloved
sister and her children our heartfelt
sympathy and warmest love In this
the hour Of their bereavement. And
while we feel great sympathy for you,
I'VE nevertheless feel that the Father
who knows best and whose divine pur.
poses must be consummated has willed
this for your good. We know his soul
lives and will In the other world plan
and devise for his loved ones who are
left on earth to toll and endure the
hardships incident to mortality: there.
fore, dear sister, be comforted. Place
your reliance In the eternal Father
and He will temper the elements OF
nature to your comfort, the we'll being
OF your children.
After singing, "There Is Love at
Home" and prayer by John Kicks, the
reunion adjourned for one year.

TRENTON, Feb. l7--Our little
orIck school house was packed with
lie taxpayers OF Trenton gathered TO
listen to the debate upon consolida-
tion last Friday evening, February IA,
between County Superintendent Nc.
Carey and one of our school trustees.
+. II Cutler. Mr.. McCarrey brought
out many good points in favor OF con-
soidation; as also did Mr.. Nelson, the
principal of our schools. taking Salt
Lake county as basis of argumt Mt.
No one present could question Mr.,
McCarrey's sincerity in the cause of
education. He made very earnest
appeal in favor o. his side of the Ques-
ton. Mr.. Cutler pointed out some in
consistences in Mr. Smiths lecture de-
livered at the b. Y. college. He also
saw the danger Of politics and section
al differences in our school system.
He made a very good point In refer
ence to the two colleges at Logan,
showing where politics governed one
institution and we lost most of the
important studies, but when the ques-
tion came up Of making the b. Y. col.
lege a high school, politics did not
enter into the question and the college
remained undisturbed.
The debate waxed warm, both par
ties braced up to the subject. The
people were much interested and saw
much TO be considered. They saw the
danger of accepting new system
without first understanding IL, when
the health and safety OF their children
are at stake Would it not be better
to have this question debated In every
town In the valley rather than lectured
upon from one side only. We under.
stand that Mr.. Cutler did not get the
$50 offered to any one who would op.
pose consolidation, but he certainly de-
served it.
Mr.. McCarrey lectured at Charleston
on Tuesday evening, February IS, and
the people Of that town have invited
Mr.. Cutler to come up and give them
talk on the other side.
On Sunday we were favored with a
visit by Elders A. J. Merrill and Edwin
Miles, OF Smithtield, as home mission
aries, which we considered quite a
treat, as we are yet in need OF more
people to select a variety of speakers
from although we are taking hold of
the good work with zeal and energy,
and showing evidences Of rapid growth
and progress. There is plenty of room
for good home seekers and we invite
that class to give US a call.
Commissioner Godfrey Is here look.
ing up the new road to Richmond,
which we are anxious to see built as
soon as possible, as we desire to get 10
close touch with our neighbor towns
and advance In the scale OF thrift and
progress with them.
