ANNUAL MEETING OF
THE COUNTY BOARD
Session of 1909 Convened Monday Evening and is Now
Doing Business-WaIter j. Brennan Reelected
Unanimously Chairman.

The annual meeting of the County
Board of Grant county assembled in
the circuit court room in the court
house Monday evening, at Z 80 and
was called to order by VIM. Leigh
ton, of Little Grant, who announced
the business of the meeting to be
that of nominating a chairman of the
board. The name OF Walter J.
Brennan. of this city. who has 50 effii-

capacity of chairman for the past
three years. was presented by II.
Smiley, of Platteville, and there
being no other candidate, Mr.. Brennan
was nominated by a unanimous vote and
acknowledged the honor conferred by
few briet and appropriate remarks
F. r. Crane. of Menomonie, princi-
pal of the Dunn county School of
Agriculture and Domestic Economy,
was present at the meeting and was
called upon by Chairman Brennan for
talk relative to the work of his
school, the matter of asking the state
to establish a similar one in this
county being now under consideration
by the board.
Mr.. Crane spoke in glowing terms
of their school and its worz, and said
it was doing great good for the
farmers boys and girls who attend it
The scientific farming there taught
and later put into practical operation
is accomplishing much in the better
ment of conditions. A dairy farm is
operated in connection with the
school and is yielding good profit.
Domestic science, cooking, needle
work, etc. is taught at the school by
competent lady instructor and there
is also manual training school in
charge of a practical man where
carpentering. blacksmithing, etc are
taught to the boys.
The state pays about two-thirds of
the cost of maintenance of the school.
There are only two of these schools
yet to be established under the present
law, and Grant county has an op
portunity now to get the location of
one of them, chance which may not
offer again for several years.
What action the board may take
on the subject is not now apparent,
but the fact that taxes are high this
year and other prospective appropria-
tions are calling for considerable
money, may cause unfavorable action
to be taken on the school PROPOSE
tion. There are many reasons to
believe, however, that such a school
would prove to be profitable and
satisfactory investment for the county.

Cheaper cost Of production Is
given by experts here as the rea-
son for making Chicago base for

the managers as the point at
which iron ore Is converted into

In this respect Pittsburg takes
second place. In figuring this re,
