School Notes.

Our basket ball boys are beginning to
practise and the alumni has promised to
make things interesting for them during
the holiday vacation.
Our present total enrolment is 217.
The state Inspector of high schools,
Mr.. Richard Hayward visited our schools
on his annual tour oinspection on Tues
day of last week.
There seems to be some misunder-
standing as to the facts regarding the
Hallock VS. Pembina football game which
was to have been played recently. The
writer had previously written Supt.
Hayes of Hallock that there was no foot
ball team in our high school this fall on
account of lack of players and probably
would not be this season. After re-
ceiving my letter, which was some weeks
ago, Superintendent Hayes arranged the
game with one Of the high school boys
without consulting me further and also
without my knowledge as did not know
of the game until after everything had
been arranged and supposed Hallock
knew they we're coming to play mixed
team. When Superintendent Hayes
came to me upon the field and asked
fairly "Are all those players your high
school boys" there could be but one
possible answer.

A proposition has been made 10 th,
City council by the Psmbina Lighting
Co. to sell the plant to the city for th,
sum Of 10000. This is matter il
which all citizens and taxpayers are in
terested whether they use the lights il
their houses or not as it vitality affect.
the street and city hall lighting.
Atpresent the city has approximately
i've hundred dollars invested in lamI
posts and piping and fixtures. It hat
expended more money than this but
some of it went for changes and for re-
pairs.
The city has expended for street light
ing and for the city hall the average sum
of s291. per year for the seven years
previous to 1912.
The most Of the original proprietors Of
the plant have moved away and only one
working partner is now left to care 70,
the business. As he served without pay
he naturally desires to get free, while
the nonresident partners have lost in.
terest for obvious reasons.
II the resident partner should con.
clude to close the plant, it would leave
the city without street lights as we'll as
making new system necessary at the
hall.
The cost of installing any new system
of street lighting may be approximated
by the cost of the st. Vincent plant
which was put in about two years ago
for 81 ,SO0.. which plant is used solely to
light the streets and has no revenue
from private users.
While the present proprietors have
not made any money out of their invest
ment, yet the plant has always paid ex.
penses and something over. Consider
able money was spent at the first iu buy
ing experience. The business has pass
ed from hand 10 hand and naturally has
been neglected to some extent.
The expense of running the plant is
very light and outside of the cost of car
bide does not exceed more than $3.50 q
year.
We think that there should be at least
sufficient profit in light furnished private
parties to pay the running expenses.
The light itself is good one, the best
made for street lighting in small town,
while for private use it is far safer than
kerosene, coal or gasoline gas, or gas.
oline lights. AS to cost, while it takes
more cash than kerosene, it is about the
same price as ordinary city gas, and in
contrast with kerosene, the quality of
light, the cleanliness, the labor of caring
for lamps and safety, make the acetyline
gas the cheapest and best. 1t is ready
for instant use at any time in the day or
night, and can be kept burning all night
with no danger of flaming up and ex-
ploding as any sort of lamp Is likely to
do.
The actual cost for an ordinary sized
family for gas in this city runs from $40.
to $40. year. Each street light costs
in the winter evenings for five and half
hours, eleven cents, while in the summer
the same light costs about five cents.
This matter will probably be present.
ed to the taxpayers in some form or
other and the Pioneer Express has given
these facts so that the taxpayers may be
able to consider them and decide
whether it will be better for the city to
purchase or not, always bearing in mind
that we must have street lights of some
kind anyway.

In some way or other, been so unfortun-

severely he had suffered for 1t both

had at different times destroyed his
clothes, tainted his provisions, pre-
vented the smoke from ascending the
chimneys, soured the liquor in his Gel

had so fascinated his powers of vision

n R ONUMENTS and memorials
WHM have been erected to the
Nv memory of distinguished
1WW statesmen, warriors, litera-
tours and heroes of various
characters, for many centuries, and
the types of architecture of these
tokens of love and loyalty have as
sumed as many distinctive designs as
are indicated by the character whom
they commemorate, as we'll as that of
the artist or architect who designs
them.
The love and loyalty of one man, a
friend, for one whom he had admired
throughout his momentous career, will
be fittingly portrayed in the magnifi-
cent Birthplace Memorial building
which Is to be erected in Niles, O., to
the memory of its first citizen, the late
President William Mckinley, through
the efforts of Hon Joseph G. Butler
Jr.. millionaire philanthropist and
capitalist of Youngstown.
The plans and specifications Of this
majestic shrine are now completed and
a portrait of the building is herewith
presented 1t is expected that work
on the construction will be com
menced in the early spring
Plan to Raise Funds.
The conception of this memorial
has been upon the mind and heart of
Mr. Butler since the death of the mar
tyred president, and he always ex-
pressed the belief that Niles was the
fitting place for such memorial. Al
though he contributed literally to the
funds for the majestic mausoleum at
Canton. he was then evolving a plan
to erect a memorial in Niles himself,
but on taking the matter under due
consideration, he felt that there were
many who cherished the memory of
the great statesman as deeply as he,
who would feel that they were deserv-
ing of the opportunity to contribute to
such a cause. A number of friends
were consulted, and Mr.. Butler was ac-
corded the greatest encouragement.
He planned to make 1t a thoroughly
national movement, and decided that
1t would be a security to the enter
prise to appeal to congress for a
charter. with the understanding that
the government was not called upon
to provide any of the funds These
are to be raised by private subscrip-
ton. and bill was accordingly intro
duced into congress by Representative
w. Aubrey Thomas, who represented
the old Nineteenth district. which was

each. A $4,000 subscription was Sc
cured from Andrew Carnegie, and
large sums were pledged by many
other philanthropists. During the six
day campaign conducted in the city
over $58,000 was raised
Fraternal organizations, clubs and,

nections were established at head
quarters, and a committee was in
charge of the responses to the mes
sages sent out This method of rails,
ing the 100000, which the building is
designed to cost, has met with the
most sincere approval of the people
of Niles, since it gives them the as
surance that they have part in the
enterprise.
The building is the first of it's type
to be designed in the world, and is a.
fitting memorial to the great states
man In the design an effort is made
to portray to the present and future
generations the noble character Of
President Mckinley which shall en-
dure for ages also the great philan-
thropic thought of the founder of the
movement Whereby Niles Is to receive
this great gift, the lifelong friend and
staunch supporter of the martyredI
president, Hon. Joseph G. Butler,

can people is being displayed in the
many hearty responses to kilograms
