ADVANTAGES IN
GOOD SCHOOLS

Nothing has gone so far in the
upbuilding Of enterprise and the
uplift of social conditions of COL
vile as has the public school.
At this time, just after the city
has been host to the educational
heads of the county, the matter
of schools is timely topic.
Those who have given their time
and energy to the promotion of
the best there is in educational
work in the county capital, are
also worthy. of consideration.
One of the instructors in at
tendance upon the Stevens county
teachers institute stated that
the people of Colville do not real
ize that the social conditions of
the county excel those of many
of the other counties of the state,
and that it is due to the splendid
school system that prevails
throughout the county.
That the Colville schools are
attractive to the educators is
shown by the fact that the school
board annually receives approx
imately 300 applications from the
best teachers in the country seek
ing positions. The county super
intendentis the recipient of three
or four times that number. All
of these are attracted by the rep
utation of the city and county for
being educationally progressive.
1t is compliment to any teacher
to carry contract with almost
any board in the county because
there is every reason for select
ing only the best talent.
Confning the discussion to the
Colville schools, it might be in
teresting to most people to know
that the grammar and primary
departments employ 13 teachers
at an average salary Of $75 per
month, a principal at $50 per
month, and contribute SIS to
the $3.50 per month paid the
superintendent who has charge
of all the schools in the city.
The combined salary of all teach
ers in the grammar and primary
departments, including that of
the superintendent and principal,
exceeds ISL, 100 per month. The
union high school carries about
the same expenditure for teach
ers and the cost of maintenance
of the two schools is about the
same, the minimum of expense
being in favor of the high school.
! The cost of the school property
of the two districts included in
the union high. including equip
ment and apparatus, will aggre-
gate upwards Of $4,000. Each
of the school organizations car
ries an Indebtedness of approx
imately $25, 1000 and $4,000 res
pectively, and this indebtedness
is being reduced at the rate of
about So, 900 per year in each of
the districts.
The members of the Colville
city school board are J. A. Roch-
ford, F. Leo Grinstead and John
B. Slater; and to these are added

you believe it now? And you

When you pay your light bill
THAT is, if you do pay it), you
are charged by the kilowatt hour.
This kilowatt hour is the electric
current produced by u horse.
power in one hour.
Electric energy is measured by
watts, so named in honor OF
James Watt, and a kilowatt OF
1000 watts is the smallest guam
tity of current that can be meas
ured by a meter. "Kilc" is the
Latin word for thousand. To
state it in terms of work per.
formed a kilowatt represents the
power required to operate 20 SO.
watt lamps at the same time OF
u horsepower in motors. In the
same way a kilowatt hour is the
quantity of current consumed in
one hour by 20 5O-watt lamps, OF
in 20 hours by one 5O-watt lamp.
Other common terms of cleo.
trical measurement are the am
pere, which represents volume;
the volt. which represents pres.
sure; and the ohm, which repre-
sents resistance. To produce
amperage, voltage and to over
come ohms of resistance certain
watts of current or energy must
be produced. One thousand Of
these watts or units is q kilowatt
and a kilowatt in use for an hour
is a kilowatt hour.

Standing as Reported Up to
 Wednesday Night.

The above figures represent the count in the Grand Piano contest up to Wednesday night, when the red series of tickets were retired by 'tstatute of limitation.
 Naturally the girls who have been working for the prize have been get ting the most votes, the surprising feature of the count being that several who have been nominated by friends have been voted for so literally with out effort on their part. This shows that any one of about half dozen in- active contestants might win by jump ing into the fray with good supply of vim.
 A few hundred thousand votes are small items comparatively speaking. The winner of this piano will more than likely get more votes than did Woodrow Wilson in the late presiden- tial election.
 People are not generally lined-up in this contest yet. Any one can get votes from the majority of the sovereign voters" now for the mere asking. But it is going to be different soon. Each one is going to pick a favorite as soon as all the entries are made in the race, and it is now or never with those who have not gotten busy.
 A yellow series of tickets comes next, which is good until October IS. We are not certain that another count will be given out before that date.

There has been considerable improve ment going on about the Green Forest depot during the past week or so. The wooden platform has been removed from the side of the building fronting the track and filled in with rocks and clay from the steam shovel. This will be packed and covered with cinders. The closet has been taken away from the platform and removed quite little ways down the right-of-way. A new pump house is also under construction, made neces sary on account of the steam shovel having taken swipe at the old one, wrecking it in a manner that would reflect credit upon Neb- raska cyclone.
 In conversation last Sunday with Judge T. H. Humphries, Chancellor of the l1th district, The Tribune editor learned from this distinguished gentle man that he is breeding consider ably over the proposition. whether or not he will enter the race for Congress. There is but one point now for him 1 to decide in his mind and that is whether or not he can be elected. If he decides in the affirmative his hat will be right out in the middle of the ring by Oct ober i. Judge Humphries is a very popular jurist and one good reason why the people should be slow to en- coara ge him in his congressional aspir- ations is that his place on the bench would be exceedingly hard to fill.
