The school board has provided some
fine stone jar drinking fountains for
the school and the janitor keeps them
full of good water. Every thing neat
and clean, and up to date.
The public schools Of Oakes opened
Monday for the next school years
work with much larger number pres
ent than was expected. The pupils
were only assigned to classes and the
program arranged for work so that
everything might be in readiness on
Tuesday. After these preliminaries
the pupils proceeded to celebrate Labor
Day as the times required.
The prevailing sentiment among the
people seems to be that they want our
schools to be second to none in the
work done. That is the real feeling
and wish of every teacher and with the
splendid backing the schools had IN the
past by the good people of Oakes and
with the growing sentiment for success
and growth it is sure they will. A
united people on this and earnest ef-
forts on the part of each is what makes
it. Now visit from you, word of
commentator to your friends and in
quiring people will do part of the
work in making the people think along
the right line.
Every thing about the interior of the
school house presents a pleasant and
home like appearance and it is the re-
mark of all who have seen it that it is
very nice. The school board has GER
tainly been busy during the vacation in
fixing up the school premises. They
have had the help of good workmen to
get things in such shape. Every one
connected with the work deserves COM
mendation. The painters were so anx-
ious to do good work and to put it on
good and thick that they got good lot
on the floor and even painted some of
the books. But they deserve credit
for all for so often people try to get
along with doing as little as possible
but they did more than was wanted or
needed. They are all right just the
same.
The,school is open now for business
and the parents and patrons will do the
school children lasting favor if they
will give their good influence in keep.
ing them regular and punctual all the
time. Almost without exception it is
the irregular pupil who becomes dis.
couraged and drops out of school with
a feeling of disgust because the work
seems hard. Do not let it happen this
year or ever again If you can help 9
pupil to keep at it. Keep at it. That
is the only way to win. The school is
here and it is going to do good work
Nothing will be left undone by the
teachers to help the pupils if they will
be on hand so they may have the work
with the class. 1t is hard task ane
an impossible task to conduct a recita
tion properly for the regular pupil ane
the irregular one at the same time.

ASK 50 YEAR FRANCHISE
Big Interests Acquire Light and
Power Plants.
Promise "a Hour Service Soon

A consolidation involving millions OF
dollars, and the taking over of all the
improvements and important light and
power plants in Northern Idaho, to-
gether with several plants in Washing
ton and Montana, has been consum-
mated by Byllesby & Co., of Chicago,
one of the largest electrical and bond
houses in the country.
The plans, which when consumn mated
include the acquiring of numerous rip
arian and water rights on Lightning
creek and along the Moyie and Clark 8
FORK rivers, will develop an immense
water and light power sufficient to cup
ply every town in the district.
Through the efforts of Spokane man,
Jerome L. Drumheller, who has inter-
ested the eastern capitalists in the un-
dertaking, the Pend Oreille Electric
Light Co., of Standpoint; the Northern
Electric Co., of Newport; the FIathead
Valley Water Power Co., of Kalispell,
Mont, together with plant at White
fish, Mont, in addition to several others,
have been secured, and the new COM
pany will be known as the Northern
Idaho and Montana Electric Light Co.
C. F. Ostoff, of Chicago, an expert
engineer, who represents the eastern
people, says "We have perfected plans
whereby we expect to develop an i'm
mense water power and light system. A
$l0,000,O00 bond issue has been sub
scribed and will be taken up entirely
by Byllesby & Co., who are large bond
sellers, as we'll as electrical engineers of
Chicago. We will improve all of the
plants as fast as possible, and expect to
keep pace with the rapidly growing
country in which the power will be
used. Extensive Improvements are
contemplated which | do not wish to
discuss at this time, but we expect to
develop and acquire additional prop
critics soon, and will be- able to develop
an immense water and electric power" "
