Establishing Gauge Stations.

Mr.. Patten, assistant State En-
gineer, came up last week and has
been establishing gauge stations
on the tributaries of the North
Platte river. One such station was
established at the county bridge
on Spring creek. 1t is the inten-
ton to re-guage all the small
streams again this year in order to
obtain the quantity of water that
will flow down them this season,
as it is expected to be quite phe-
nominal.

Cheyenne in session here April %.
Resolved: That we, the men,
beers of the Presbytery of Chey-

the kindness Of the pastor and the

Ice Jam Up.River.

This morning the river is filed
with an angry food, full of brok-
en.lce. the result of an ice gorge
somewhere up river. The water
IN the river has been rising stead
lily for the past three or four DAYS
and is higher than usual this
morning. 1t is now almost as
high as at any time last year, and
yet the snow has not gone out of
the hills surrounding the town, to
say nothing of the foothills and
mountains. There is hardly any
one so skeptical at this time as to
doubt that We are soon to have
the highest water seen here for
many years The weather has re-
manned cool all thru April, and
this has held back the melting of
the snow. When the warm wea-
Their does set in the banks will not
hold the food. If any prepara-
tions are to be made to keep the
water out of the town they had
better be made now, as it will be
impossible to do anything when
the waters are out of the river
banks

LAND co.
Officers and Financiers on the
Ground Contract to Be Let
About June LIST.

Last Friday w. Fl. Harwood
Secretary of the Western Land
Company arrived here from Dee
Moines la. He was followed on
Saturday by Geo, b. Dobson,
chief engineer. Sunday the two
men procured livery rigs for six
people and went to Walcott to
meet Q. q. Magenheimer, the rep
resentative of the Bond House of
the Woodland Company, and j.
h. Cameron, president of the bond
house of Cameron d. Company,
who arrived at Walcott on No. 7
Monday morning. The Woodland
Company, a Chicago house, is to
furnish the capital for the build
ing of the canals. Before the con-
tract for funds with the Western
Land Company is closed the bond
company must have the opinion of
it's expert, Prof. Ray, on the feas-
ability of the plan. These men
spent only Monday in looking
over the lands proposed to be Gov
cred with water. They came in
to Saratoga in the evening and
took a rig that night for Walcott,
where they took the train for
Chicago, Mr.. HARDWOOD accom-
panying them. They said it was
one of the best propositions they
had seen and that it took only a
general view of the land to con-
vince them of the feasibility and
Importance of the project.
Mr. Dobson will shortly organ
ize a crew of men and begin the
survey of some lines that are nee
essary as feeders to the High Line
ditch which will run along the
foot hills of the Medicine Bow
range east and northeast of this
place.

The Saratoga School.

The school closed yesterday for
the year with appropriate exer-
cises. The final examinations
showed that even tho the school
had been cut from 9 to 8 months
the pupils had made the same pro-
gress as in rther years
Now that the school year is
closed it is a fitting time to speak
of the work of the teachers, Miss
Sensintaffar, the principal has Civ
en- entire satisfaction in that cap
acity. Her government has been
good, she has the esteem and re-
spect of her pupils and under her
guidance the scholars have done
as well, if not better, than ever
before for a number of years.
Miss Sensintaffar reports that
all of the back work in Arithmetic
Grammar and Geography. left
yer from other years, has been
made up this year, in addition to
doing the regular work of the
school year. Also that the 9Th
grade had entirely completed their
work this year, which was a bet
ter record than is usually made.
Miss Andrews in the Grammar
department, Miss Miller in the
Intermediary and Miss Hitch in
the Primary, have all given most
excellent evidence of their abilities
as teachers. On the whole the
trustees feel that the year just
closed has been a successful one
and that as much progress has
been made as could have been ex-
pected.
There will be some exercises
tomorrow at 3 o'clock p. M, for
the purpose of promoting the pu-
pills from the Sth grade to the
High School room.
Next Monday will be held the
annual meeting of the district, at
which one trustee for three years
will be selected. The trustees will
lay before that meeting the ques-
ton of heating the building. The
matter of putting in a hot water
heating system is that will
have to be considered and acted
upon. If this is not done new
stoves will have to be purchased
for each of the four rooms.
The matter of a special tax of
sufficient amount to enable the
trustees to have money to carry
them thru the entire school year
without having to borrow money
must also be acted upon by the
meeting.
There are other matters of
grave Importance coming up at
that meeting aud it is to be hoped
that every person who takes an in-
terest in our public school will be
on hand to see that matters go as
nearly as they should be as pos
sible.

The conduct OF Judge Root in the

probation OF the duties OF a Judge OF

occupying that position.

Skovgaard Concert Co.,

The Skovgaard Concert Co. will ap-
pear at the armory on Monday even
ing, June 21st. It is a distinguished
company of artists, including Herr
Skovgaard, violin virtuoso, Miss Marie
r. Hovey, soprano, and Miss Alic
Chung, pianist.
Skovgaard was favorite pupil of
Joachim, the worlds greatest violinist.
He studied previously for many years
with Carl Halir and Emanuel Wirth.
He began to study the violin at the
age of four, toured the Scandinavian
peninsula as child wonder at the age
of nine, was concert meister with the
Philnarmonics of Copenhagen at fif-
teen; toured England, Germany and
France as soloist with the Meininger
Hof-Kapelle at nineteen, and little
later visited the capitals of Europe as
soloist with Sending, D'Albert, Julius
Roentgen and other noted artists.
Music is passion with Skovgaard.
Gifted with poetic temperament and
intellectual personality he possesses
the rare gifts of depth of comprehen-
sion and delicacy of coloring.
Assisting Skovgaard in this excep-
tional company is Miss Marie R.
Hovey, soprano very much out of
the ordinary in voice, personality and
training. Her reception is sure to be
cordial wherever she may appear.
Artistically, her preparation is of the
BEST She has the additional advan-
tage of extended experience in her
chosen work. In every way she is
worthy of a place in this Company.
To properly accompany an artist
such as Skovgaard pianist of SYM
pathetic temperament as well as
technical ability is required. Miss
McClung fills every requirement, both
as an accompanist and soloist. Her
work is sympathetic and brilliant and
her presence in this company makes
it rarely well balanced and almost
ideal in it's personnel. She was chosen
from among many applicants for this
position as being especially well fitted
in every respect.

Graduation Exercises.

The graduation exercises of the
Morris High school were held last
Saturday evening. The hall was filled
to its capacity with the many friends
of the graduates. The program pre-
sented was most interesting one,
beginning with selections by Watzke's
orchestra, after which Rev. Hammand
delivered the invocation.
The solo "Voices of the Woods by
Miss Carrie F. Mccoy was excellently
rendered and well received. William
Cooley, as salutatorian, then gave a
thoughtful and we'll delivered oration
on "Our Times", after which Miss
Clara Olson, as class orator, spoke of
"The Old South and The New',, an
historical and eloquent tribute to the
people of the South. The clarinet solo
by Alfred Watzke was well rendered
and pleasing, and was followed by the
commencement address by Pres. Frank
A. Weld, of the Moorhead Normal,
Mr.. Yields eloquent address will
ever be remembered with pleasure by
the members of the class and by all
who heard him. He not only impress
ed the necessity for high ideals but
made free use of some of the best.
thoughts in all literature for pra ctical
success.
The High school glee club sang
"Carmena" most acceptably, after
which Miss Florence Perkins, as
valedictorian, delivered an excellent
grafton on "Woman's Changed Posi-
ton" and said goodby on behalf of
the class. The diplomas were pre-
sented by DR.. Amos Leuty, president
of the school board. He gave some
excellent advice on opportunities in
Minnesota, and closed with eloquent
words of congratulations and well
wishes.
