Women Flshermen-FlemI.h s.vI..


On the coasts Of Holland, Belgium
and northern France the fisherwomen
are familiar sight, with their great
hand nets and quaint costumes. MANY
OF the towns have distinctive cos
tunes by which their women can be
recognized anywhere. Those of Maria
kirke, near Ostend, wear trousers
and loose blouses, while their heads
and shoulders are covered by shawls.
They carry their nets into the sea and
scoop up vast quantities Of shrimps
and prawns, with an occasional crab
or lobster and many small Ash. They
often wade out till the water is up to
their necks, and they remain for hours
at time in water above their knees
rarely returning until their baskets
are full.

The New Drilling Machine.

The new well drilling machine,
belonging to McManis & Gorton,
which came last week, was set up
in the yard of Bridge Foreman A.
q. Huntington and now that gent
leman has a we'll of fine soft water
for domestic use at IA depth of TO
feet.
The machine is now being used
to drill a we'll for Joe Poutrie.
The machine is on wheels and
is hauled from place to place, be-
ing a good load for four horses
as it weighs $500 pounds. 1t is
one of the m Jst complete machines
in the state. A steam engine, with
upright boiler furnishes the power
and it is capable of drilling a hole
from three to ten inches in diam
eter. McManis e. Gorton have
two drills, one five and tive-elghths
and one six and five-eighths. The
drop weighs about 500 pounds
when ready for operation.
Very rapid word can be down
with this machine and rs both OF
these men are experts at this bust
ness there is no doubt about then
ability to handle any we'll drilling

ranged.
Prof. Miller presided and an.
Bounced ih. numbers Of the pro.
gram. l'hr evening was opened
by the song, ''America." san. by
the audience. Miss Ruth Nc
Cull"uSh then gave n piano solo
which WAS heartily appIauded.
Miss Viva Harden then delivered
her Grafton, "Education," which
was listened to with marked at
tention. This was followed by IL
vocal solo by Mrs. Dyer. Mrs.
Dyer is a favorite with Saratoga
audiences and her singing is al
ways appreciated. Miss Alma
Walck came next with her Grafton
on Perseverance and Success"
which received a goodly share of
appreciation. The song, "Red.
White and Blue" was then sung
by the school children in a group
on the stage.
The school board then extended
its thanks to the teachers thru
Col. Crawford for the faithful and
efficient work they had rendered
during the year just ended. Prof.
j. ID. Towar, director of the Agri-
cultural College at Laramie, was
then introduced and made a very
interesting talk on the subject of
"The Public School in it's Rela-
ton to Public Life" The adj
dress was listened to with marked
interest and approval. Prof. Tow
ar dealt with the question from
the practical side, emphasizing
the very great need of Il thorough
knowledge of addition. The Pro-
lessor is a very pleasant speaker
and while he does not attempt Or
atory his talk was far more i'm
pressive and convincing than
many who aspire to be thought ell
oquent.
A violin solo by Charles Cou-
zens was rewarded with an encore
A piano solo by Mrs. Gus Jensen
also met with an encore, after
which followed the presentation
of the diplomas to the graduating
class by Prof. Miller in a few
well chosen words. Then came
the final song by the school child
rem, Vacation Song and the ex-
e~rcises were over.
At this the closing of the school
year it will not be out of place to
speak a few words of the work
done. When Prof. Miller took
charge of our public school he
found a spirit of misrule and in
subordination in possession OF the
high school room. 1t took him
nearly five months to become
completely master of the situation
since which time his word has
been law and the scholars have
done most excellent work. AS a
matter of fact many of the schol-
ars did not know how to study.
But they soon fell in line and
when the professor surrendered
his power the school never was
in such excellent condition and
such progress being made. The
three other teachers did their
duty faithfully and with entire
satisfaction to the board and two
of them have been re-engaged to
teach during the coming term.
