A board of trustees of Kiggman school district have been wrestling with the school problem and have come to the conclusion that it will be necessary to build ne~ school house at a point where sufficient grounds can be had for playground for the children. At the present time the children are limited to the streets for playground and to this the people ob- ject for reasons of safety. The school grounds shou!n embrace at least four acres or more of land and the new school quarters should be fitted up for highschool and school of sloyd. of knowing how to use various tools and fit themselves for useful occupa- tions in the "rblic school. We hope the nar ter will be given the hearty e. operation of the people.

 Don't you think it is about time for the people of Kingman to incorporate the town and take up the matter of grading up and oiling the streets, as well as arranging for many other public improvements The town will be put in an advantageous position by incorporation, and those that oppose the plan are standing in their own
 light. Kingman is bound to grow and thrive, but the failure to improve the streets and keep up with the process sion of other live towns will greatly retard the growth.
