NEWFANE.
School Directors Hold Meeting.

The annual meeting of the school direc-
tors in the towns of Newfane, Brookline,
Townshend, Wardsboro and Westminster
was held in Newfane Tuesday, each town
being we'll represented except Brookline.
Charles H. Hescock of Newfane was elect
ed chairman The secretary-treasurer L.
H. Ranney of Westminster, read minutes
Of the previous meeting and gave report
of expenses the past year.
The supervisor, +. L. Drew, who has
headquarters in Townshend, reviewed the
work of the past three years Previous to
his coming there had been a lack of uni
formity in school work, and this he has
tried to remedy. The selection of i'm
proved text books has been accomplished
and an outline of study prepared which
he fully explained. The first year of his
service was spent largely in gaining ac-
quaintance with the teachers and patrons
in the union and learning the needs of the
schools The new state law may change
the work of the supervisor hereafter, and
has made void the organization of the dis
trlct union, therefore no officers were
elected
The vote of the last year to apportion
certain sum for incidental expenses was
rescinded and the small balance of indebt-
cdness that may be incurred before July
will be paid by each town directly II
further conference should be necessary
before the new school laws come into
operation the secretary was instructed t.
call an extra meeting

his ribs and breaking his shoulder.
One of the horses kicked him in the

in Montana, the child took loaded

TUNGSTEN RISE BOOSTS TOWN
OF NETHERLANDS GROWTH.
Union Sleeping Hours Have Been Es-
tabiished In All Lodging Houses
In Mining Town.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
Boulder, Colo.-Union sleeping hours
have been established in all the lodg-
ing houses at Nederland, and two new
doors are being cut in the only saloon
in the town on account of the greatly
increased population since tungsten
began to boom. 1t is impossible now
to secure a room at any of the room
ing houses of the town for more than
eight hours at time. The dodgers
sleep in three shifts. James Krogh.
owner of the only saloon in the town,
was undecided at first whether to cut
new entrances or knock out one side
OF the building. He chose the first al
formative after reflecting on the dan
ger of the theft of his goods II he
could not lock the building after clos.
ing hours. Another indication OF the
growth of the town is the fact that
s. A. Greenwood, J. G. Clark and Fore
man Sloan of this city are cooperating
with Nederland business men to estab-
lish bank there. The institution will
be capitalized at $4,000, and the stock
is being taken by the men who are
in the venture at q premium of 10
cents per share.
