a problem that is p~uzzling the board OF
governors. Samson and the little ones about
the court who want room enough for pop
corn and confetti.
The block between Eighteenth and Nine
4eenth on Douglas street has been sold to
II. A. Cudahy, who may start buildings
on II before October; but even with this
lot stu vacant. buildings are going up al
such points as to narrow the Kings high
way down to the space between the curb
stones on Douglas and Eighteenth streets.
The National Corn exposition Is uude-
cided as 70 where it's buildings may be
sdvantageously erected the coming year.
There is every possibility of the exnosi-
ion being larger than II was last year
already mere states want space. The lots
about the Auditorium, like those around
he Kings Highway. are rapidly filling up.
The building used last year for the
Eoman's department, junior departments
and the moving picture show, Is now occu-
pied by a large carriage and wagon shop
and cannot be used by the exposition this
year. The lot at Fifteenth and Jackson
streets where the auditorium OF the exposi-
ton was located, is now a SUMMED garden
with stone fences and divisions, which will
make II impracticable for the exposition

and a building is promised on the lot OPP
posite.
What these two enterprises, Ak-Sar-Ben
and the National Corn exposition will do
for homes depends something on the street
car company. Ak-Sar-Ben has proposed to
use the Twentieth and Burdette streets
grounds, having bought all the lots in the
tract occupied by the den buildings, but

The vacant property on Farnam west of
Twentieth street, is a promising site. 1t is

owners having signified their willingness
to grade the lots II a lease is taken on
them by either the National Corn exposi-
ton or the Ak-Sar-Ben.

REAL WHEAT SCARCE HERE

Chicago Prices.
FOUR CARS ONLY IN THREE DAYS
Local Dealers Have Feeling of COnA-
dence that Prices IN All Grains
VIII RecOver-Weather II
Favorable to Crop.

While there was somee excitement In the
Grain exchange when Chicago
quotations on May wheat fell to S11, the
local situation is unchanged; real wheat is
scarce and not a car was sold on the Moor
Friday.
Only four cars arrived since Wednesday
evening. They we're not sold because the
prices offered were lower by 2 cents and
the dealers receiving the wheat had, con-
fidence enough in the market to believe 1t
would recover and they would get more
than $40 to s1.H for their grain. At the
price offered in Omaha Friday the cash
figure is a full Z cents higher than May
wheat sold for in Chicago Friday.
The last sale Wednesday was reported
Friday and a car of No. 8 hard brought
s1A.
Most dealers In Omaha have a good bit
OF confidence in the ecovery of prices
on all grains. though corn was off 2 cents
and No. 3 wheat a full 3 cents Friday.
The weather is declared 10 be favorable
and the prospects get brighter each day
for the growing crop Of winter wheat.
Reports received from over the state
Friday did not disclose any considerable
amount Of wheat on its way to the Omaha
market.

SUPT. BARNES ISSUES CIR
CULAR TO SCHOOL
OFFICERS.

The following is a copy of a
circular letter sent to school
officers by the County Supt. If
the school boards would CO.
operate with the Superintend-
ent in the matter of hiring
teachers, much good could be
accomplished for the schools.
To All School Directors:
School board directors some-
times engage teachers lacking
certificates valid for Richland
County. On this point wish
to say thatl shall issue very few
permits this fall. They do little
good and often much harm.
Would it not be good plan for
directors to instruct teachers
who lack certificates that they
must pass the August examina-
tion which will be given at both
Wahpeton and Lidgerwcod on
the 9th and 28th of this month";
If applicants cannot pass, what
right will they have to a per-
nit? If they can, they will
need none.
Generally holder of a Min
nesota first grade certificate
can have it endorsed as a North
Dakota first grade certificate,
but a Minnesota second grade
is worthless here.
If a teacher continues at work
without valid permit or GER
tiiicate, according to the law
any taxpayer may force the
school board to make up out of
their own pockets any wages
paid him from the school mon
ey.
A permit issued before school
began could be good only until
the results were announced of
next Octobers's teachers ex-
animation. After that time any
teacher who failed would have
to quit, and the school board
would have to go all over the
work again of hiring a teacher.
Putting in a new one for the
balance of the term is poor
policy. Moreover it is not al
ways easy to get new teacher
in the middle of a term. Isn't
it better to be sure to start
right?
AS for granting a new per-
NIT, it is almost out of the
question tor a teacher to receive
two, one after the other.
Hoping that Richland Coun-
ty in the school year before us
will have the best teachers
possible. and not a single poor
one, I am
Yours very truly,

HIGHLAND COUNTY SCHOOL
CENSUS.

The last school census of this
county reveals some startling
facts, in the matter of atte nd
ance of the young people of
school age.
The number of young people
in the county between the ages
of six and twenty are 5,614.
There were 1900 that attended
school less than 60 days dur
ing the last year, of this num-
Der there were over 1900 that
had no reasonable excuse for
not attending. The school pop
ulation of Wahpeton is 738 and
there were 40 children that did
not attend school and with no
excuse for not doing so.
The non-excusable, non-at-
tendance in Wahpeton is 5 per
cent and in the county outside
of Wahpeton it is over 25 per
cent.
