Shorey School Troubles Still
Remain Unsettled.
Six Truck Loads of Fruit
Shipped on One e. p. Train.

yesterday afternoon. The first was
that since there was a shortage of
| S1,375 in the fund for the proposed
| new school building, that that amount
| be voted. This proposition carried.
| The next was that the old site be re-
| tanned and not be disposed of as had
| too met with the approval of the ma
| jority. The last was, that money be
! voted for the purchase of the new site
| where, at the last election which was
| held two weeks ago, it was decided to
place the school building, This last
measure required a majority of three
| fourths and the vote registered was
! go to 6S in favor of the proposed mills
tax. The property owners of the dis
trict say that they will never agree to
such a tax and that amount is re-
quired to purchase the lots. 1t is
probable that the affair will end in the
courts as this is the third election to
be held with these results.
