PROSPECT OF LARGE ATTEN
DANCE IN HIGH SCHOOL THIS
YEAR-SPLENDID EDUCA-
TIoNAL FACILITIES AT
FoRDED HERE.

Though the regular term of school
begins on the 18th of September, there
will be no enrolment of pupils until the
goth. This is to permit the teachers to
attend the county institute which will
be held the week commencing the 18th.
Prospects are bright indeed for a pro-
ductive year 8 work. Unusual care has
been exercised in the selection of new
teachers, six in number, which, with the
old teachers, will be equal to any
faculty the school has had in the past.
Judging by the word received from the
country and by the number of people
seeking houses to rent, one can prophesy
that the attendance will be equal to or
surpass that of last year.
Grangeville has uns slfishingly done
its best to provide one of the best
schools in the state, and the people are
glad to welcome all who desire to take
advantage of that which is offered by
the school. The last legislature in pro-
viding free tuition for high school
students residing outside the district,
has made it possible for non-residents
to help bear the burden Of the cost Of
high school instruction. At this time il
is not known whether there win be a
tuition charge in the grades below the
high school, as the school board has not
acted on the question.
No one will take from the school the
credit of having provided one of the
very best curriculums that any school
the size of Grangeville can offer. Both
the practical or vocational subjects are
offered. The agricultural course will
be of value, not only to the boy who

have assumed proportions which are
now serious. Under the circumstances
therefore it is to be pleasantly regard

fires which have started during the past

Supervisor George Y. Ring, nearly all

This is the season of the year, called

GREAT ACTIVITY REPORTED IN
SEVEN DEVILS MINING DISTRICT
LEDGE 200 FEET WIDE OF COPPER
ORE OPENED UP ON BADGER
GROUP-OTHER PROPER
TIES VERY PROMISING.

Weiser, Aug. 2s.-The famous old
Seven Devils mining district is resum-
ing its old-time activity, according to
P. II. Miller, a well known resident of
the district who has returned to his
home in Cuprum. from a several days
business trip to outside points. He re-
ports extensive developments on the
various properties throughout the dis
trict with gratifying results.
Mr.. Miller is one of the owners of
the Barger group, one of the many
promising properties in the district, on
which he and associates are pushing
developments. The Badger is a copper
proposition with an ore body fully 200
feet wide, some of which is high grade.
An immense body of ore has been
opened up on the Red Ledge, which is
being developed by north Idaho parties.
Assays from this property run eight
per cent copper, 81 in silver and 81 in
gold per ton. Considerable develop
ment work and shipping of ore is be-
ing done at the South Peacock. Harry
L. Brown, a we'll known mining man Of
Mackay, who, it is said, has taken q
lease on the Arkansaw, is preparing to
begin extensive developments.
Frank Kleinschmidt, the well known
Montana mining man, has a consider
able force at work on the Blue Jacket
and Queen, two of the older proper
ties in the district, and is shipping a
large amount of ore.
The largest force at work is at the
Black Lake gold mine over in the Rapid
river section, about 20 miles north of
the Seven Devils. This property, which
is under the management of Sim Ford Of
Weiser, has been heavy producer in
the past. 1t was formerly known as
the Idaho Gold Coin mine, and several
years ago large mill on the property
was burned.
Mr.. Miller states the outlook gener-
ally throughout the district is very
gratifying, and an optimistic air pre-
walls. Smaller operations find inves-
tors more ready to entertain PROPOSE
tions and it is much easier to secure
funds for development purposes than
for some time past.-Capital News.

New Haven, Conn. March 5-After
Lillian May Cook, a pretty IS year old
brooklyn stenOgrapher. had been miss
ing week. her body was found late
Thursday in lonely part of Westrock
park, here. She had shot herself to
death with revolver taken from the
office of the Mayo Radiator company,
where she was employed. A poison
tablet was found in her pocket
Twenty minutes after the body had
been found, Virginius J. Mayo, who en-
ployed the girl, arrived upon the scene
but soon left.
Mayo admitted, according to the DO.
lice that he was the pOssessor of
dual personality and that Miss Cook
had formerly been the emplOye and
companion Of Miss Lois Waterbury
who, as Mrs. James Dudley" was main
tanned in a handsome home by him IN
Brooklyn. He denied emphatically that
he knew anything about the girls
whereabouts after she disappeared. 1t
was Miss Waterbury, who. according to
Mayos story, is the mother OF lpis two
children and who was his stenOgrapher
until he had her moved to Brooklyn.
In this city Mayo maintained another
establishment presided over by his wife.
The medical examiner who viewed the
body at the mOrgue said the physical
condition Of the girl seemed to have
been normal at the time of death.

HAS
AIDED RAILROADS
Head of Pennsylvania Sys-
TEN Says Regulate, Not
Strangulate, Roads.

Railroads and shippers, IN fact. the
public in general must get. closer to-
gether today if our railroad problems
are to be worked out TO a satisfactory
conclusion. There has been so much
regulation that neither the public nor
the railroads know whore they stand
That is the way George D. Dixon, vice
president and general manager Of the
Pennsylvania system, sized up the rail-
road situation in the United states: Mr..
Dixon, with q party reached Ell PasO
over the Southern Pacific from the
east Thursday evening at $3.50 and lett
Friday morning for San Francisco.
4 am not one who believes that rail-
road activities should now be unre-
stricted," he added. Il believe in regu-t
latiOn. Railroads have benefited by
regulation in ways many of them little
realize. Regulation is here to stay, and
it is the duty of the railway official to
cooperate in making that regulation a
continued benefit not only to the rail
road but to the community.
Correcting Abuses.
Regulation has largely confined it.
self to correcting abuses. The evils
were obvious, but we have allowed our
selves to think of them so much that
we have forgotten about the merits of
the institution as a whole. The great
transportation machine of this country
was and is, sound 1t needs continued
regulation, but the regulation must be
competent and sympathetic. The most
pronounced weakness of our present
regulation is that so much of it is in
competent We need scientific manage
ment in business, but we also need sci
entific management in regulation, or 1t
must and will result in strangulatiOn."
Minority Bc Railroad Men.
My suggestion is that Il minority of
the railroad commissioners Of the state
and nation should consist of men
trained in the practical conduct of rail-
road affairs. All appointments should
be for life or during good behavior, the
salaries should be such as to attract the
ablest brains Of the country, and the
positions should be made to carry a
prestige and honor that would make
a man feel that he is serving his coun-
try in an exalted capacity"
Immediately after arrival Mr.. Dixon
and his party, consisting of Mrs. Dixon,
Mr.. and Mrs. T. H. Dixon and Dr. Chas.
