LARGE COUNTY CONVENTION
Members Of School Boards Assembled in
Great Numbers at the County Seat

The county school board convention
held in this city last Monday assembled
great throng to participate in its
deliberations. The good sleighing and
pleasant weather contributed materially
to the Importance of the occasion. and
had the effect of bringing together
school officers from all Over the county,
the eastern section not SC well repre-
sented because hillsboro has like
gathering. The court room was crowd
ed with delegates, and members of the
county training school, as many as
were here, attended in a body. Super
intendent Gardner presided. The pro
gram as published was carried through
with much success and interest, and the
CENSOR believes it to be the coneensus
of opinion that the law providing for
these comings together Of school of
ficers and workers, is founded on right
lines.
The CENSOR would be pleased to
publish the list of delegates present had
there been system Of registrs zion.
During their stay in the city large
per cent of the gentlemen called at the
CENSOR Office and paid their respects,
and many were the renewals of sub
scription and new subscribers recorded,
for which our best bow is made.

DESTRUCTIVE ELEMENTS AT ROSS
The Store of W. p. Hud'on. With Con-
tents. Destroyed by Fire

During Monday night the large store
building, and practically its entire stock
of merchandise, owned by w. P. Hud-
son, was swept by the devouring ele-
ments, and all went up in smoke in a
brief time. When discovered it was
too late to save anything except cou-
pie armsfull of overalls and a few other
articles. Fire appears to have original
ed from defective chimney in the rear
of the building. The loss on building
and stock is authentically reported TO
be about fifty per cent. of the value.
1t is a severe and crippling loss to Mr.
Hudson, who has been in possession
but few months and was enjoying a
successful trade and counted his busi-
ness profitable. With grit and good
cheer he is determined to rehabiltate
himself at the same place at as early a
date as possible.
The second story of the building was
used as fraternity hall, the Mystic
Workers and Modern Woodmen holding
their meetings there. All of their par
aphernalia was lost by the fire. Wheth-
er or not they carried insurance the
CENSOR is not advised.

FRIEND MUNsoN; Your favor Of the

kane, Washington. While there | saw
a lumber of the former residents Of
Vernon county, among whom were
Frank A. Chase, Frank Tate, the Nu-
gum Brothers, attorneys, Silbaugh,
Strawn and wife, and others. These
people are all doing very we'll financial
ly IN fact, are very prosperous. Chase
and Tate are among the leading real
estate brokers of Spokane, the metrop-
oils If the finland Empire" and Nu-
zum Brnthers foremost attorneys of
that city, ana have a very extensive
practice. They have apparently inher-
tied some of the eloquenee of their
father, Elder Nuzum, the distinguished
and well beloved divine, and one Of the
remaining pioneers of Vernon county.
The CENSOR, coming as it does,
weekly, brings Us news Of our old-time
friends, and is probably the means Of
cutting them off from many personal
letter which would be written did not
the CENSOR supply the news that such
letters would be expected to bring
forth.
! have been pleased to note the ex-
tensive trips that you have made
throughout the country during the last
two years, and sincerely trust that
you enjoyed them.
This city has decided to hold an expo
sition here in 1915, TO be known as the
Panama-California exposition, to COM
memorate the completion of the canal
A corporation has already been form
ed, with 81 600. 900 stock, which has
been on the market only about week
and which il already half subscribed
and it is expected that the stock will
all be sold within thirty days fsom the
date that it was placed upon the mar
ket, the proceeds to be used toward
the construction of buildings and
grounds preparatory to the exposition.
We shall appreciate it very much # you
will give this exposition some notice
through the columns of your paper.

ESTABLISHED 1856
THE LAND OF PERPETUAL sUNsHINl
Golden State Contributors Talk to Old
Home Folk

DEAR CENSOR: New Years greetings
to your many readers in many climes.
In this sunny land. where all out of
doors is now responding to the touches
of rain and sunshine. II is new year in
deed: just Ike it will be there when
spring time comes. An automobile ride
into the country few days ago took
me through orange and lemon groves
golden with fruit and fragrant with
blossom, and alongside vegetable gar
dens with acres of tomatoes and straw
berries in ftll bearing, and tried the
mental feat of contrasting California
md Wisconsin. but it was too much for
, !le. With one condition here in touch
with sense, and the other there a thing
of memory ard imagination, ! could
not put them alongside. | reflected,
however, that either condition trans
ferred to the other place at this time
of the year would play the mischief.
little of what you have there would
blight things disastrously here. and 1t
would not take much of what we have
here to at leaSJ spoil the shedding ard
skating there; so | unused upon the
beneficence of Providence as seen not
here nor there, but everywhere. This
is good old world, and at Christmas
time when peace and good will toward
men falls as a mantle upon all m sn all
should be grateful for the Wilderness of
Gsd's mercy and the blessings vouch-
safed to all.
The people of this section were never
merrier than now, for things are com
ing our way most satisfaci orily. It
has been year of marked pros perity
along all lhrcs, and the outlook for the
years ah,a:i could hardly be brighter
for am city. The San Diego and Ari-
zona railroad, now building, will soon
give us direct and independent connect
ion with the east, and the completion
OF the Panama canal will give this the
Importance of being what Admiral Es-
ans called 1.-THE first port in Gods
country. Public spirit is now focused
upon the Panama. California exposition
to be held here in 1915 The enterprise
is OF local origin but becoming state
wide and will soon be of national and
international interest. 1t may seem a
big undertaking for city OF so coo
| population, but our people have taken
hold of the matter with enthusiasm and
determination and will 90 ahead TO as
sured success. A popular subscription
of $1,000, 900 has been pledged, with
half the amount already secured, and
the slogan "booat the fair, is heard
in every ques 'er Calilornians have
the reputation of claiming big things
and they propose TO make good by do
ing big things. The spirit and liberali-
ty of the people were recently shown
in this county by well nigh unanimous
vote to bond the county for 81, $50. 600
for good roads throughout the county.
So you people may begin shaping
your affairs for the great exposition at
San Diego in 1915, and / hope to be
here on the ground to help extend well
come to many from the Badger state.
Wishing one and ali happy New
Year, remain,
Yours as ever
