PAY TEACHERS AT
| LEAST $45 A MONTH
Remedy Proposed by Illinois School
Commission Soon Up to Leais-
Iature.

Springfield, H.. March 4.--The state
legislature soon will be asked to pass
a law setting minimum salary limit
TO- all of the $4,000 public school
teachers in Illinois. The proposed leg
islation will be based on recommends
e,oAs made by the educational commit
tee of Illinois. Hand in hand with
advances of salary, the commission
must go standards of accept
able teaching, SO that, while teachers
may get enough to live on if they are
careful in their expenditures. the pub
lie will get plenty of efficiency for
every cent it spends.
The commission contends that Iiv-
ing wage is not paid TO teachers in
some parts of Illinois. 1t cites one
county where teacher gets 80 cents
a day and % others where 60 cents
a day or less in thought sufficient.
| The remedy for these conditions, the
commission finds, is in minimum sal
airy legislation with a seven months
school term the minimum. The COM
mission recommends that teachers
holding a second grade certificate shall
, receive a minimum of s45 per month. or
S315 per year, and those holding first
grade certificates shall receive at
least $55 per month, or 1886 per year.

The above message was received ear
ly this week by Postmaster Ollie Thor

had written Congressman Edward T.
Taylor a few days before. In his let
ter, Mr. Thorson had asked Congress
man Taylor to call on the Fourth Assis-

why it is that a round trip route could
not be established from here down
Grand river. Congressman Taylor did
as requested and explained that all tha

must be made over the same road.

$50 FOB BAND BOYS

Some Glenwood visitor, whose name
was given as Lawson, called at the
band room Tuesday evening and spent
some time listening to the boys at
practice. He went to the room to see
John Rittmayer about purchasing
gun. but when the music was started
he forgot all about the gun and just
squared himself to enjoy the concert
After the boys were through with the
evenings practice, he stepped up to
Mr. Kessler, the leader and handed
him twenty dollar William, the kind
that Uncle Samuel makes and which
are so hard to get hold of. He said
"Take this and divide it among the
boys and come with me- - They all
followed and received royal treatment
at the hands of the generous visitor.
He later bought three guns of Ritt-
mayer and announced that he expect
ed to do some bear hunting. The band
boys certainly appreciated the kindness
of the gentleman.

LAND VALUES MULTIPLIED

Three years ago 1. H. Luke, then
superintendent of this division of the
Rio Grande, purchased a tract of land
on Redlands mesa, consisting of $50
acres, on which there was bearing
orchard and some alfalfa, paying $4,000
for it. Last Monday he sold eighty
acres of the tract to outside parties
for $4,000, reserving eighty acres for
himself, one forty of which he has
refused $4,000 for. This is only 4
sample of what man can do with
land in this country if he will take
hold of it and improve it as Mr.. Lake
did. There are plenty of opportunities

GRAND RIVER
RAISES CAIN

In spite of the fact that old timers
believed Grand river had established a
high mark two weeks ago that would
not be passed in years, the past week
saw the mark covered and one moro
than a foot higher established for tho
future years to wipe ont.
Glenwood did not suffer any dam
age, but that to the valley towns and
ranches fruit orchards and bridges can
not be estimated until the water goes
down within the banks and that may
be several days yet.
A thirty foot steel bridge over which
the people south of Rifle pass to get
to the little city, was swept out with
it went the water main which supplied
the people with their supply. Another
small pipe was placed and the water
turned on, but it was a hardship on
the Rifle people. Clear to Grand juno
tion the reports are the same story
of ranches, fruit orchards, pumping
plants and bridges being destroyed or
damaged until they were useless.
6OOfeet of the Midland track near
Basalt and between that city and As
men was carried away. The washout
occurred near the Benbow ranch and
forced the Midland to transfer pass
eneers, mail and baggage by wagons
and other vehicles. The Crystal river
railroad was also damaged by the
track being washed out and one or
two small bridges being swept away.
But the greatest havoc was below
Rifle. The old Rifle picnic grounds
were covered with the overflow and
ranches are more or less damaged by
the foods. At this place the twelve
foot mark was reached at an early
hour Monday night and a small stream
was carried around the north pier OF
state bridge. Government hydro
praphers were here the fore pat OF the
week and measured the current ON the
