that time, if the court was satisfied
with what he had done, he was to
receive SIS a day for his services.

Mr.. B. p. Burnham announces
this week as a candidate for re.
election to the Office of Super
intendent of Public Schools OF
Iron county. Mr.. Burnham has
filled this Office the past two years
and everyone knows that he has
made a Woodworking, painstak-
ing, careful official. In fact, we
do not believe that there is a SUI
perintendent in the State that has
worked more enthusiastically and
tried .more conscientiously to dc
his duty, than Mr.. Burnham. On
this record his friends think he is
entitled to another term and are
confident the voters will carefully
consider his claims at the annual
school meeting.
