Good Attendance of Pupils and
Patrons--Appropriatc Exercises.


At 9 o'clock Monday morning
Kingstree Graded and High school
opened with an enrolment Of about
200 pupils. The exercises were be-
gun with appropriate Introductory
remarks by Mr. N D Lesesne, chair
man of the board of trustees. Rev
w A Fairy read passage of Scrip
ture and made & short discourse.
Rev w E Hurt then led in prayer.
Prof J w Swittenburg, superin-
tendent of the school, outlined the
course of work for the year. He ex-
pressed qualification at the promis-
ing prospects of the school this ses-
sion. He stressed the point thatthe
efforts of the teachers towards the
pupils should be supplemented in the
home life. He emphasized the fact
that discipline in the school would be
maintained and that the property of
the school would be taken care of.
He enjoined upon pupils proper con-
duct in going to and returning from
school and asked parents to report
to the superintendent at once when
they thought the teachers were in
fault.
A goodly number of the patrons
of the school were present, and they
were very much pleased with the
manner of Prof Swittenberg and the
business.like way in which he as
sumed charge of the school.
Prof Swittenberg was followed in
short talks by Revs w E Hurt and
E E Erwin and E L Fishburne, Esq,
all of whom made very appropriate
remarks and offered timely advice
and suggestions.
Miss Estelle Campbell. the accom-
plished music teacher, rendered some
very pleasing musical numbers dur
ing the exercises.
At 1920 the exercises were con-
cluded and routine work was taken
up.
Following is a list of the teachers:
Prof J w Swittenberg, superintend
ent; Miss Irene Robinson, White Post,
Va, principal high school. Grade
teachers: Misses Daisy Winburn OF
Sumter, Banner Wilkins of Gaffney,
Leila Fowler of Woodruff, Marian
Lide of Darlington, Agness Erck-
mann of Charleston. Miss Estelle
Campbell of Newton, N G, music.
1t is expected that the enrolment
this term will exceed 300 and in all
probability another grade teacher
will be added to the faculty. Super
interdent Swittenberg comes here
from Pickens, where his work was
highly commendable for several
terms, and all the assistant teachers
give promise of capable and efficient
service.

TAFT APPROVES
BOARDS REPORT
UNCOMPAHGRE PROJECT GETS A
CHRISTMAS PRE- ENT OF
.5OO,OOO.OO.
All Work of Great Reclamation Pro-
ject TO Be Rushed to
Completion.

Washington, D. c., Dec. 26-Pres-
ident Taft and his cabinet today
approved the report recently sub
mitted by the Board of Army En-
gineers and the announcement is
made that by the terms of the re-
port thus approved the Uncompah-
gre valley project, or Gunnison tun-
mel at Montrose, is given the sum
of 81 100000 for the work which is
necessary at present for the COM
pletion of the tunnel project.
The High Line project in the
Grand valley is also awarded the
sum of s1,5O0,OOO for the compile
tion of that project.
The report has met with numer-
Gus delays and had been expected
to be made public last week, but
the stress of business held it in
the presidents desk until today.
The approval of the report will
mean the immediate resumption of
work on the Gunnison tunnel, and
will mean much to the Western
Slope and its rapid development.

Man Killed on Railroad.

On Friday of last week the
body of man was found laying
down the embankment alongside the
ID. * r. e. railroad tracks near
Domlngutz, ciose TO the Delta ana
Mesa coun,y line.
The coroner at Delta was noti-
fed and the body brought to Delta,
where an inquest was held.
1t was ascertained from letters
that the name of the man was w
W. Hague, that he had a daughter
living in salt Lake City and pre-
sumably wife somewhere in
Illinois. He was of sandy COM
pleXion and medium build. The
presumption was that he had been
riding on the trucks and had sue
cumbed to the cold. In falling off
his head had probably struck the
end of a tie, causing a fracture of
the skull.
+ Efforts have been made to locate
the daughter in Salt Lake City
Nht Va PSilNS' poe
SO far without avail.
Word came from Illinois from the
f-si.e, that no action would be taken
there and the matter was referred to
sister in Denver, where, or in
Pueblo. it was stated a daughter
of Hague might be living.
Montrose papers claim that Hague
or "Hage they spell the
name, was carriage painter for
merly in the employ of A. F. Trippell
of that city: that he had been To-
Gated in Montrose for some time
and was well spoken of by those
who knew him. A card in his
pocket showed him to be member
of Denver lodge of Odd Fellows.
Contrary TO reports of other
Montrose papers on the start, the
Enterprise states that Hage col
lected sS5 of his employers money
before leaving on his fatal trip;
that he was a good workman but
a booser. and that he undoubtedly
fell from the train he had boarded
to his death.

Y. Nj. c. A. to Teach Agriculture,

A plan of cooperation has been
agreed upon between the department

will furnish speakers.
The associations are to promote
educational contests also for boys

poultry raising. The Grand June
ton Y. NJ. c. A. has already intro
duced course in horticulture. The
Association at the request of Mr..

Christmas in Delta.

Christmas Sunday passed on
quietly but in a pleasant and con-
tented manner. Turkey and other
fowl were in plentiful evidence
Interested charities as well as in
dividuals were active in looking
after those in need of Christmas
cheer, and in so far as The Inde-
pendent is informed. few if any
were missed in Delta. There were
trees in large numbers of homes
and the usual, rather lavish ex-
penditure for gifts. Customary
church services were held. Monday
was observed as the legal Christ
mas holiday, by the government
and in business circles. most of the
business houses remaining closed.

to be served by the Uncompahgre
road is FAR greater than that served
by the Grand vaiiey road. This
is convincingly proven by the fact
that the Montrose road will be trib-
utary to eight schools outide OF
the schools reached on the Cedar
edge branch, where the Grand vail,
road touches but three-Grand
Junction, Fruita and district
school halfway between. The Grand
valley road parallels the d. and
h. G. tracks, while our road will
serve a territory three miles on
each side which will be nearer to
the interurban road than to the
d. & r. G. There will also be
$4,000 acres of the irrigable land
below the Montrose and Delta canal
which will be nearer to the cleo
trio road than to the d. e. r. G.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
Grand valley road only carries
passengers and likewise parallels
the d. and r. G. it is said on good
authority that this read has pro-
duced a net earning of an average
of 500 per day, since it began
operations. The fact that the Mont
rose road will traverse a much more
densely populated country, will
have to compete with the steam
read and will also do a large
freight business, it looks as II e
Uncompahgre proposition has the
Grand valley road skinned a mile
as a business proposition.-Mont-
