Ia considering the question. the
trustees are faced by the matter OF
expense. The district Is building a
new school house. made necessary by
the increase in the schools. To pay
for this and the interest charges will
require an increase OF school tax.
Provision has not yet been made Tor

Then theris going 10 bo an extra eX
pense. not in the original appropria-
ton due TO the water coming in on

increasing salaries though they rea.
lie the justice OF the claim made by
the teachers. Agents come through
here every little while from Massa

hire our best teachers, Offering them
much better salaries than they are
getting here. This has tendency
TO make them dissatisfied even il
their home ties keep them in Ben

The school trustees would like tc
hear from the people OF the district
on this question OF salaries and also
on the question OF disseminating the
public kindergarten to save the ex

venting its sale in the United States
By capturing Monterey the rebels
obtained a direct railway line from
Torreon to Tampico, and this they
are repairing. Spaniards from whom
the cotton was seized have effectual-

The rebels need money badly and
look to the sale of the cotton to sup
ply a temporary war fund.
