Of Logan has instituted Il mandamus
proceedings against the school board
of the Bell district in which he would
compel them to establish a school at
school house No. I. Alfred Strcdwick
has instituted similar proceedings
against the school board wanting a
school established on the northeast
corner of the northwest quarter of
the southwest quarter of section 13 in
township 1874. When the school was
built at Logan the board discontinued
holding school in the other school
houses and made arrangements for
carrying the children to the Logan
school. This led to some trouble when
the board made it necessary for one
patrons children to walk a quarter
of Il mile to meet the rig. Judge
Leighton handed down a decision last
week compelling the board to haul
the children all of the way. Now
other patrons want the other schools
re-opened and claim that the board
has unjustly refused to hold schoo;
in these places. The arguments will
be heard March 5.

take on new commitments, either for
the rise or the decline.

semblance of equilibrium. In fact,

1T is indeed a matter for c%ongratu-

rejecting that spirit of conservation

waste of property which annually
goes up in smoke presents n prob
lem which they can no longer afford
to ignore. About $4,000. 900 worth of
property was destroyed by fire in this

loss of property thus destroyed is full
