Will VOTE ON
$4,000 BONDS
SATURDAY, MAY 2, DAY SET FOR
ELECTION - BOARD FIGURES
OUT A PLAN TO SAVE THREE
PER CENT.

The Minot school board Tuesday
night decided to call special cleo
ton Saturday, May 2, to vote on the
question of issuing $4,000 bonds at
4 per cent for the construction of the
new school building, work upon which
has already started. The board feels
that it will be a saving Of three per
cent if the bonds can be issued, other
wise the cost will be met with war;
rants, which draw 7 per cent. G. A.
Johnson and John Ehr met with the
board and entered a protest against
going ahead with the building, on the
grounds that a less expensive struc-
ture would serve the present needs as
well. Mr.. Ehr is of the opinion that
a four or five room school building at
present would suffice. A majority Of
the members of the board do not think
so as it is conceded that at the pres
ent time, seven additional rooms are
needed and it would be but short
time until an addition Of another
building would have to be made. The
board realizes that the taxes in Mi
not are high enough, but consider that
the needs of the children are important
and that they must have suitable
building.
Mr.. Ehr states that he is preparing
to start injunctional proceedings
against the board in an effort to halt
the progress Of the building, but that
if he is unsuccessful, he will favor the
issuing Of bonds.

Hereafter Minot officials will make
an effort to send cocaine fiends to the
insane asylum for treatment. Two
victims have already been sent there
"Toodles," whose real name is Miss
Dugan, who has caused the police a
great deal Of trouble, was arrested
again Friday, very much under the in
fiuence of the drug. She may be sent
to jamestown. Her case is pitiful. She
is we'll dressed, good looking young
woman, but the habit has such a hold
on her that it appears she must take
the deadly stuff. In the insane asylum
these victims can be restrained and the
habit broken off gradually.

GOVT RESERVES
 LAND AT KN|K

The Juneau land office recently re- ceived notice of the withdrawal by President Woodrow Wilson of four of land 12 miles northeast of Knik for townsite purposes. The fact that this withdrawal for the pur- poses set forth is made after the government railroad was completed is significant as denoting that the gov ernment contemplates doing some thing in that immediate vicinity. The government made several townsite withdrawals prior to the survey for the railroad, but this is the first, and so far only, withdrawal since the sur vey was completed.
 The executive order making the withdrawal is made under the Act of March 12, 1914, and is dated Octo- Der 8, 1914. It withdraws from entry, settlement, location or sale or other disposition for townsite purposes all of sections 22, 23, 26, and 27, in township IF north, range 1 west. Juneau Empire.
