TO REPAIR sANITARIES

According to the Interpretation of
letter from w G.. Besler, vice pres
ident and general manager of the
Central Railroad of New Jersey, to
the Board of Health which was read
at the meeting of the board last
night, 1t looks as If a new station

Ter sets forth in the communication
that, with the cooperation of the city

to one sent by Secretary LaRoe, of
the Board of Health, allowing the
Central railroad ten days in which
to remedy sanitary conditions in
their toilets at the local station.

Board of Health,
Perth Amboy, N. ].
Mr.. LaRoe, Secretary,
Dear Sir
IL am in receipt of your letter of
the 7th., relative to condition of
closets in station building at Perth
Amboy. We have been working for
some time on the question of an en-
tire rehabilitation of the Perth Amboy
situation, and although a plan has
been presented to me showing a
building with water closets to cost
approximately $1,000, ]. have deter
mined that 1t will be better to under
take an entire renewal OF our station
at that point, and we shall, there
fore, only attempt to place present
closets In sanitary and sufficient con-
dition to carry them along until an
entire renewal OF that situation
takes place, which, provided we can
secure the cooperation of your city
authorities, can be brought about in
the very near future. expect very
shortly to ask for conference with
your mayor on this subject.
yours truly,
"W. G. BESLER, v. p & Gen.
Mgr Central r. r. of N. j."

The Village Caucus.

Wednesday evening caucus of the
citizens Of the village of L'Anse was
held in the Town Hall, and despite the
fact that during the day number of
candidates for nearly every Office
sprang up from numerous quarters and
gave every evidence that the affair
would be lively one, it passed off in a
very tame and docile manner.
The meeting was called to order at
8 o'clock by Patrick Bulger, following
which motion was made and support
ed that William L. Mason act as chair
man.
The names of Henry Murphy and R.
C. Williams were presented for secre-
tary, but both declined, whereupon
Matthias Hansen was duly chosen for
the position.
On motion and support the chairman
appointed Messrs Charles Kelsey and
DIR. w. A. Won Zellen, as tellers.
Upon the officers being duly sworn,
the name of Patrick Bulger was pre-
sented to the caucus to succeed himself
as president, and there being no oppo-
sition the secretary was instructed to
cast the entire vote of the caucus for
him.
For the Office of village clerk the
names of C. d. Shea, the present in
cumbent, Charles Marceau and Hugo
st. Onge were presented. Spirited
balloting followed and resulted in Mr..
Shea receiving 80, Mr.. Marceau and
Mr.. St. Onge 2l, with one scattering
vote. -
For the Office of treasurer, George
Trudeau received the unanimous vote
Of the caucus.
For the position of trustee, the names

L'Anse Still Leads
BY Defeating Hou8hton High School
Basket Ball Team tn an Interest.
Ing Game Last Evening.

Once more on Friday evening the
L'Anse H. s. basket ball team demon
strated to the Houghton H. s. team
that they were not in the class with
them.
The L'Anse team throughout the
game did not appear at its best in only
one or two instances, but notwith-
standing they kept piling up the score
on their opponents. Their basket
throwing in the first half was ragged,
and it was quite apparent that they
felt no immediate alarm of being de-
feated. At the end Of the first half
the score was 20 to 8.
In the second half, L'Anse warmed
up considerably as did Houghton, and
the game seemed more interesting.
L'Anse frequently fouled and thereby
Houghton increased its score. For sew
eral minutes some good fast playing
was done and many excellent throws
made by different members on the
home team, and when time was calle d
the score stood 81 to 16 in favor of
L'Anse.
The game was very clean one
throughout, only once was there any
question or dispute, and rather than
bring the game to close IN an unsat
isfactory manner the objection was
passed up.

j, 1909. TERMS: ST. so PER YEAR IN ADVANCE


Tuesday afternoon the entire family
Of Joseph Peltrie we're brought to their
home in this village from N. j. Glenn
ents' camp. Mr.. Peltrie was SO i'll that
he was unable to stand the journey in
no other way than lying in the sleigh,
while his wife and little daughter were
in almost as bad a condition. Mr.. Pei
trie had been in i'll health for several
months but had stuck to his post as
cook despite his trouble. About a
month ago his wife and daughter went
to the camp and while there contracted
colds and were obliged to return also.
At this writing all are considerably inn
proved.

CHANGES POSITION.
Prof. G. A. Davis, Formerly Of L'Anse
Schools, rendered Place at
New Philadelphia, O.

New Philadelphia, O.
Prof. G. A. Davis, who for several
years presided over the schools of this
township but for the past two years
has been located at Crestline, O., has
been rendered more lucrative position
at New Philadelphia, o., and concern
ing his departure the local paper has
the following to say:
Coming with suddenness that was
almost startling was the announcement
of the resignation Of Prof. G. A. Davis
as principal Of the Crestline high
school, says the Advocate. While the
announcement was surprise to his
many friends, the opportunity of tax
ing his new position was equally as
much of surprise to him.
Pursuing his regular course Of work
on Wednesday Of last week, with no
thoughts or intentions of taking an
other position, he was not aware of the
good fortune that lay in wait for him.
After the close Of the days work, he
was met by Mr.. Maurer. superintend-
ent of the public schools of New PhilaA
delphia, Ohio.
New Philadelphia schools were in dire
need of a principal, on account of their
professor resigning, due to i'll health, he
leaving for Los Angeles, California, on
the 10Th. Mr.. Maurer, hearing of the
good work that Prof. Davis has been
doing, came here with the sole iRten-
ton of securing him.
The offer which he made was too
good to resist, it being three hundred
dollars more per year than the Crest
line position pays. While Prof. Davis
is reluctant to leave, he feels that the
opportunity is one which he should not
overlook.
Coming here at the opening of the
fall term in the year 1906, from L'Anse,
Mich, to take the responsible position
of principal of the high school, made
vacant by the resignation of Prof.
Chas. Limbach, Mr.. Davis has had
wonderful success. He has had the
pleasure of helping pilot two gradual
ing classes to the outer world, one of
them being the largest in the history
of the school.
Energetic, jovial and affable he has
made many friends among the teach
ers, students and citizens.
Being believer that the school boy
needs athletic exercise to go hand in
hand with his school work, he has put
forth his best efforts with the limited
facilities which the school affords
along that line.
He and Mrs. Davis have also made
many friends among the social circles
of the city, both being very active in
those duties which make many enjoy
able evenings.
In token of the high esteem in which
he is held by the teachers and scholars
of the high school, he was presented
with handsome mission chair. Mr..
Davis left Monday morning to assume
his new duties. Mrs. Davis will remain
in Crestline until spring. No successor
to Mr.. Davis has as yet been named"

"An attempt will be made during the
present session Of the Legislature to
pass bill provid ng f,r the township
unit system for country schools. This
is perhaps the most important educa-
tional question to come before the Leg
islature. This question will be dis
cussed at our meeting by men and
women who have had actual and prac-
tical experience with the township unit
system in Michigan. The proper dis
tribution of the primary school fund is
one of the vital educational questions
pressing for settlement. This will be
discussed by some of the ablest School
Board members in the state. We shall
also have full report from the School
Board Legislative committee as to
what they have done before the Legis-
lature. Other important questions to
be discussed are, Agriculture in the
Schools Technical and Vocational
Training in the Public Schools, -Four

the High School,, and Arithmetic
Without the Book, or Mental Arith-
