counting agency and a report made
to the legislature.
Tire minimum wage bill for women
has finally passed both houses.
Lands Mortgage Bank

money to develop unimproved lands.
This bill is in the interests Of the
development of northern Wisconsin.

LARGE CROWD AT THE MEETING
Representative Gathering Turns Out
For First Annual School Meet
ing After Return to Dis
trict System

The first annual school meeting
following Ladysmith's recent return
to the district system was attend
ed by large and representative
gathering of the citizens. No one had
any complaint to make that there
We're not enough present. Perhaps
some thought there were too many.
The meeting was called to order
at eight o'clock by l.. c. Streator
who had been elected chairman at
the meeting a week before.
The first business taken up was
the fixing Of the salaries of the
school officers. The salaries of the
director and the treasurer were fixed
at 500 year each The clerk was
voted an annual compensation of
9IoO. An appropriation of 500 was
made to cover the amount required
TO provide for surety bond for the
treasurer.
An appropriation of $19, 900 was vo-
ted for all school purposes. exclusive
OF special appropriations. A special
appropriation of $1,000 was made for
leasing additional rooms for school
purposes during the ensuing year.
The school board was authorized
TO borrow an amount not to exceed
$4,000 to tide the schools over from
the time the treasury bcame exhaust.
ed until the tax money became avail
able.
Text books will be supplied to pu-
pllS, as heretofore, but nonresident
pupils will be charged the maximum
tuition hereafter-$400 in the high
school, and S1.75 in the grades. This
is less than the per capita cost off,
running the schools.
The greatest interest centered in
the election of officers. There were
TWO candidates for each office-Mrs.
j. W. Carow and W. e. THOMPSON.
Tor director; R. H. Burns and Har-
~ BallOu for treasurer: and Phil 8
Reed and c. H. Sanders for clerk.
The understanding had become cur
rent that the names first given above
for each office constituted a |slate"
promoted by a faction and this
was sufficient in itself to SIGN
their death warrant, apparently, how
ever unjust this may have been to
some Of the candidates. For some
uneXplainable reason, Phil Reed ran
considerably behind his ticket, for
clerk. There are many STRANGE
things about elections, however.
There was a total of 165 votes cast
for director, of which Is were scat
terlng, Mrs. Carow received SO, and
", E. Thompson received 112.
For treasurer the total vote was
two less. r. H. Burns received AZ.
Harry Ballou 108, scattering 8.
For clerk, the total was 1853, of
which Mr.. Sanders received 119. p.
;. Reed 20, and II scattering.
On motion, the following commit
tee was appointed to audit the
books of the clerk and treasurer and
report at the next annual meeting:
f. e. Munroe, F. |. Hughes, R. B.
Mcdonald.
Motions Weree carried: That the
kindergarten be mainland; that the
treasurer deposit the school funds
equally in the local banks; and that
all purchases made by the board ex-
ceeding $50 be submitted to bids.

George Creighton, one Of the best known steamboat men Of the North, died shortly after 2 o'clock on the evening of January at the Good Samaritan hospital in Dawson, after a siege of eight days with pneumonia
 No man in the Yukon valley was more widely known personally than George Creighton. He had sailed On Che packets of the Northern Navigation company the last fifteen years, and was known in Dawson, St. Michael, Fairbanks and other cities along the Yukon waters. He was Arctic Chief of St Michael camp of the Arctic Brotherhood for several terms, a member of Dawson Aerie of Eagles since 1907 and a member Of the Masonic order.
 Nr. Creighton was born in Aus tralia 52 years ago, says the Dawson News. He had been in all parts of the world, and first came north in the Klondike rush in 1892 on the ocean steamer Excelsior. Twenty years or more he was steward on ocean and river boats, and a man o' happier disposition never walked.
