An election to vote on issue of an
ssh, o00 bonded Indebtedness to fund
that amount of Olympia school war
rants, at a lower rate of interest. is
to be held Saturday at O'Clock at
the lobby Of the high-schoOl building.
The district has already a 500, 900
bonded debt, which will bring the
total up to $l35, 900, which is within
five per cent. of the legal limit. 1t
is hoped by this means to reduce the
interest that is now paid on the war
rants to I or per cent and make a
net saving of about 50, 600 a year.

county? Owing to the criminal
cases on the docket a further jury
list may become necessary and some

true that majority of the eligible
women would not care to serve. still
there are some of the sex who would

Leigh Garrett, a student aged %,
of Wisconsin Agricultural College, is
believed to have been lost in a fierce
storm which broke over Mount Rat
nier, Saturday afternoon. He left
camp at Indian Henry $ at o'clock
that morning to attempt an ascent of
the PERCEPTIONS southwest side of the
mountain and being alone and clad
only in thin jumper and tennis shoes.
without provisions except few
crackers and can of tomatoes, it is
feared by old mountaineers that he
could not have survived the storm
which broke over after he started.
A search party. headed by Joe Stamp
fer, started out Monday, to look for
Garrett.
Dave Evans, of Mayield. the Tay-
Tor mill settlement, four miles from
Little Rock. was horribly crushed
about the head while working in
Taylor's mill camp. Wednesday morn
ing, by the fall of a small hcmlocl1
tree, to which a cable had been
hitched in hauling operations. The
tree struck Evans, crushing him be-
meath it. His nose was hattened
and broken, and one eye seriously
injured the back Of his head was
badly mashed and his skull believed
to be fractured. Surgical attend
ance was called. and after being car
ried on IA stretcher to Little Rock. he
was brought in by train to this city
and placed in the hospital where he
lies in critical condition. He is
unmarried.
i is often difficult to tell and very
embarrassing for the County Clerk
and Sheriff to locate persons drawn
on jury panels, as the initial letters
preceding the surnames appear on
the public records. This is especially
the case with reference to women who
may be called upon to serve in this
capacity. 1t might serve a useful
purpose by instructing city clerks
and other registration officials to
politely request the voters of both
sexes to designate their principal
Christian names at the time of regis
tratiOn. In the country precincts,
as well as ir cities. the full names
should also be taken down by the
clerks rs the voters cast their bal
lots. This practice will tend to elm
mate confusion and promote accuracy
in the practical workings of the cleo
ton and direct primary laws.
1t was reported a few days ago
that a recall petition was being cir
culated for the removal of the Mayor
and two COuncilmen, but aside from
it being a straw for Indicating the
direction of the wind, we gave it lit
tie attention for the reason that
these exploiters would possibly find
in the course OF time that the recall
privilege is not possessed by this
commonwealth, and further, that it
is hardly necessary. for before it
could be made available, a new deal
is presented by an annual election,
when they may all be retired by the
expressed will of the people. This
will probably be done, for the feel
ing that a change is imperatively de-
manded seems to be the consensus
of opinion. Everybody wants a
change and are willing to endorse
a ticket of our leading business men.
irrespective of party. All that is
wanted is that common-sense and
economy, may control their add
ministratiOn, and it is not difficult to
determine what common-Sense ON
braces. 1t is safe to say that a
course directly opposite of that pur-
sued the past few years will en-
brace about all the assurance that it
will be at least a sane policy.
