Malicious Mischief

On Monday night some vicious
boys, feeling the spirit of Hallow-
en- stirring within them, got out
and committed some malicious
mischief for which they or their
parents will have to pay. They
had wire cutters and cut the
clothes lines of l.. Gels up into
short pieces, serving the wire lines
of j. A. 81. Bush in the same way.
They also cut the guy wires to the
chimney jack on the two story
building of j. ID. Paulson on the
east side. Fortunately the wind
was not blowing or the jack would
have blown over and could not
have been replaced short of six or
eight dollars. They also cut the
lines of several other residents on
the east side.
When Mayor McKillip was in
formed of the matter he said 81
am going to find what boys did
the mischief and teach both them
and their parents a lesson. Par
ents should know where their boys
are of a night and if they do not
they should be taught a lesson
that will mako them keep an eye
on a boy who is inclined to destroy
other peoples property, Halloween
or an y other time This idea OF
a mans property being safe 364
days in the year and liable to de-
struction the other day because
parents think their children must
run riot that night, is a bad one
and should have a crimp put In
it."

Wyoming at Big Land Show

The Wyoming exhit ut the Pit
tsburgh Land Show is gaining a
great deal of publicity through
the Indian family which Mr..
Schenck took down from the Sbo.
shone Reservation. Speaking of
Chief George Washable aud his
family, one of the Pittsburgh pap
ers says:- prof Andrews, sup
erintendent of the Pittsburgh pub
lie schools, acted as leader of a
party when Chief George Wash

kie, when she saw the cooking de-
partment of the school in opera
ton. Il wish we had a school like
this on our reservation she added
Mrs. Washable talks very intelli-
gible English as compared with
her husband. whose interpreter
she is. The chief is a son of old
Chief Washable, who died 10
years ago, when 80 years old, after
all eventful life spent principally
in fighting the Sioux in Wyoming
AS a result of the visit of the
Indians, Prof. Andrews arranged
with Secretary Shank for each of
the schools of the city to visit the
Land Show on dates yet to be as
signed, until the close of the show
October %. An admission price
SO low as to be practically free has
been made and special lectures

How to mahe Good Roads

The way to get good is to get
them. With a dirt road it requir-
es working after rains. The best
way is to run a King drag over
the road about the second day aft
er rains. This fills the -ruts and
when the road dries up it is fine
for travel. About all the people
get for their taxes is roads or lack
of it as has been the rule in the
past, and it is time that attention
Was paid to the road question on a
strictly business basis-Douglas
