PAYS $50 FOR TAKING
SHOT AT HIS FRIEND

' Luiggi Lucifero, an Italian living
in the Riverside addition, took a
shot at one of his countrymen by
the name of Tomaso Dinisi with a
six-shooter Monday night near his
home. Dinisi swore out a warrant
for Lucifero's arrest, and being an
old offender Judge Carr fined him
$50 or six months in Jail. After
considerable thought over the ma,.-
ter Lucifero dug up the money. Lu-
cifero said he just shot to scare
the other fellow away, whom he
thought was trying to steal his be-
lcngings.

moved along nicely though not much
was accomplished the first day ex-
cept getting organized.

WH1TEFISH WILL HAVE FINEST
:. SET OF SCHOOLS IN THE
WHOLE COUNTY.

" The work on the two new school
the school board expects that the
contractors will have things in such
shape by the end of this month
that they can be occupied during the
week that the teachers ms tuition
is being held.
Contractor Gilliland is hunrying
the work along with all possible
speed. The school board, though
having been badly handica ped IN
the work at times, are gettiDs along
bstter than they expected, and the
people CT the district will soon have
a couple of as fine schools as can
be found anywhere. Il
The Central High School building
Is the latest work in school build
ings. 1t is constructed on the most
scientific plans in every particular
with all modern conveniences. An
elaborate automatic heating and
ventilating system is being .installed
and all the rooms are light and
airy. One of the nice features of
that building is the assembly room.
This school will fill all needs in
this city for years to come
The Lakeside school is also we'll
constructed, we'll lighted and heat
ed. 1t was built especially to serve
the younger children around the
Lake, SO that they will not have to
cross the dangerous railroad track.
It will be some time before all the
details on this building are complet-
ed, but when they are Whitefish can
boast of two dandy school houses.
we'll constructed in every particular.
The school board has a man on
the job all the time to see that all
work is being canried out to the
letter of the specifications.
On account OF conditions which
existed at the time,the district was
not able to bond for a. sufficient
sum to finish both schools up com
pletely. but arrangements have been
made so that the work can keep
right on, and as soon as the state
board of equalization fixes things
up legally, the citizens CT the dis
trict will be called upon to vote the
necessary bonds to clean up the
work.
School at the present time is be-
ing conducted in the cid building
where the classes have been organ
lied temporarily. One of the fea-
lures of the school this year is an
eleventh grade which has been add
ed for the benefit of those pupils
who could not be sent away to the
county high high school at Kalispell.
Next year a twelfth grade will be
added SO that pupils can take
full high school course right here.
An efficient corps of teachers have
been secured, and under Prof. Hay
den's supervision the Whitefish
schools will soon rank among the
best in the county.
just now the schcol is kind Of
handicapped on account of not hav-
ing yet received their new books.
but they are getting along the best
they can and are using the cid books
until the new ones arrive, which
should be in a few days.

$1,496.75. The only other bidder on
the work was J. c., Little, of this
city. who bid 1854. This lateral

$28 per lot, and is considered very
cheap. The specifications require
work to be completed before Decem-
Der l. & aE tGH
Several ordinances relating to
assessment on special Improvement
work We're passed. An ordinance
prescribing the duties of building
inspector was laid over for further
consideration. A s8
G. w. Avery. representing the
school board, appeared before the
council requesting that some ar
rangement be made so that the Cen
trail High school can connect with
the sewer. This matter was referred
to the sewer committee, who were
instructed toget. action on the mat
ter as quickly as possible. The
school board also wants the water
mains extended. so that water can
be had for the Lakeside school. This
was referred to the water commit
tee.

tion petitioned for an extension Of
the water mains, and the water COM
mittee was instructed to investigate
their needs. The sewer committee
was instructed to make repairs to
filter beds pear septic tank where
the rain had washed the banks
away.
Mr.. Avery took occasion to make
q public statement in regards to
the new school buildings, refuting
eM the unnecessary criticisms that
the school board has been subject
to, and the rumors circulating that
the buildings were net properly con-
structed. Mr.. Avery has been ap-
pointed inspector on the work to
represent the school board, and
states that he has inspected the
work and material in both buildings
and finds that everything is being
carried out to the letter. Mr.. Avery
Is man who can judge from ex-
perience, and he says that both
buildings are being well constructed
and when they are finished White
fish will have two as good school
houses as can be found anywhere
In the country. He further stated
that at any time any one has any
fault to find he wishes they would
tell him about it so that he can in
vestigate the trouble. and he will
be glad to show any one thru the
buildings SO that they can personally
inspect the work. He hopes that in
the future all the baseless rumors
that have been afloat will be put to
rest.

Mail Runs Changed.

On April IA a change will be made
on the mail runs on the south
branch, probably as one of the de-
tails of Postmaster General Hitch
cocks plan to get more work out Of
the railway mail clerks without in
creasing their pay. After that date
the clerks who have heretofore run
between Charlton and Kansas City,
and who have worked alternate
weeks, will run only from Charlton
to St. Joe, and will work two-thirds
of the time, with one-third time on.
Three clerks will also be dropped
from the runs, as not SO many will
be needed. This scheme may not
give as good mail service as the line
has had. but II will help In NJ.

Death of Miss Helen Kerrins.

Miss Helen Kerrins was born Nov
"a, 1891, at Chatsworth, Ill. She
died at her home near Pleasanton,
Iowa, April z, 1912, at the age OF
20 years, 5 months and 13 days. She
moved with her parents to Creston
in 1906, and at later period to De-
catur county. Miss Kerrins was we'll
known to many Leon people, having
stayed here for more than year
with her sister. who was in school.
In early life she developed talent
for music, both vocal and instru-
mental, and was of great help to
congregations where she attended
church. She taught school in Davis
City for number of months until
her faith failed. During her linger-
ing illness which lasted for more
than year, she was very patient
and never murmured. During the
month of January, 1911, she con-
fessed her faith in Christ and was
baptized by the writer and became
a member of the Christian church of
Leon. She had beautiful voice,
and was of great help to us in our
chorus work and not infrequently
pleased the audiences with her beau
tiful solos. She was a kind, sweet
spirited girl who made many friends.
1t would seem that she has been call
ed away prematurely. at the age
when she had begun to realize
what it meant to live; to feel life's
responsibilities and experience it's
joys; at an age when the future with
all it's possibilities and bright pros
poets were opening up before her.
Yet her life has not been lost. She
has not lived in vain. Though her
life has been short as we measure
time, it has not been small. The
funeral service was conducted at her
fathers home near Pleasanton by
her pastor Monday afternoon, April
5th, at o'clock, in the presence of
large company of neighbors and
friends. She leaves to mourn her
early departure five sisters and three
brothers, and a loving father and
mother The remains were laid to
rest in the PleasantOn cemetery.

The Prize Goose Story.

Lynne Street, farmer living
northeast of Humeston, has a goose
that was buried under a big snow
drift. for three weeks and came out
all right. 1t was confined in this
prison for twenty-three days without
food or water, except what it got
from the ice and snow. On Sunday
night, February 25, when the big
blizzard came, the goose got snow
bound by fence and it was Tues
day, March 10, when the snow had
melted away that the goose was
found. Mr.. Street says that the
fence was covered and the snow was
about six feet deep over the goose.
He walked over the place in going
from the house to the barn.
A Nauvoo, ILL.,, farmer had duck
buried under the snow for sixteen
days and it came out all right &C

Care For Your Orchards.

Ames, Ia, April 4-Special: Iowa
orchards ought to produce good
crops of all fruits but peaches this
year, says Prof. S. A. Beach, of the
horticultural department of the Iowa
State College, in spite of the severe
winter. But, he adds, orchardsts
must spray their trees to insure a
good yield. Successful orcharding in
Iowa or elsewhere Is impossible with
out spraying. According to the ex-
perience of the college horticulturists
the value of 1owa's fruit crop could
be doubled this year, if not trebled
or more, if orchardists sprayed trees
| thoroughly. One old orchard of
which the department has record
| had produced only one satisfactory
crop in 20 years; it was sprayed and
| otherwise cared for last year and
produced 500 bushels of apples pei
| acre.
Orchardists who want to try spray
! ing and do not know how to go about
it will find just the practical help
| they need in a complete bulletin on
spraying practice for orchard and
garden issued by. the horticultural
| and forestry section of the Iowa
Agricultural Experiment station. In
this bulletin of "A pages Professor
Beach has put every bit of spraying
information available. 1t sets forth
the various diseases and insects that
attack fruit trees and then describes
in detail how to combat them. Every
known spraying preparation that is
useful is given and a complete cal
endar for their use. Orchardists
who want to add to the productive
ness of their fruit trees may get the
bulletin by writing forsit.
Another valuable bulletin for or
chardists will be issued before April
10 on Orchard heating. 1t will set
forth the experience of the Iowa ex-
pertinent station with it's heating
tests last season as we'll as the ex-
perience of progressive individual
orchardists. The bulletin was writ
ten by Laurenz Green, the horticul-
tural experimentalist of the station.
