The Arcadia Valley Business Mems
League, through United States Senator
Reed, has been in communication
with the War Departments ascertain
what likelihood there would be of
securing the rifle range property,
east of town, from the government, to
be used in conjunction with the dam
in the Shut-In as a site for the pro-
posed State Park. The Adjutant
General writes that the government
does not desire to part with the rife
range property, that it may again be
used as a range. It's been a long
time idle. 1t must be nearly stem
years since any troops have been
here. .
1t is reported that we may look for
ward to a lively campaign this spring
for the Office of County S%uperintend-
emit of Schools, which is to be filed at
the April school meetings. Prof. B.
Fox, the present incumbent, will be a
candidate for reelection, but there is
opposition threatening to take off his
official hide. We believe this antagon-
ism to the Prof. is the outcrop Of poll
tics in the late campaign. So far as
efficiency and interest in the work
goes, he has demonstrated a peculiar
fitness for the office. We say.this not
in disparagement of any candidate
who may come out against him, but
because it is a generally conceded
truth.-Potosi Journal.

to brave a desperate criminal, armed

women deserve credit for not faintint
outright. or course they were badly
scared, but Miss Fleming especially
showed GOODNESS in trying to handle
what she took for q drunken intruder
diplomatically-and that very exercise
of tact on her part gave her thu
opportunity to look closely at thu
bandit, and, thus, made her able t.
identify him after his capture by tn,
police. Miss Fleming modestly ex'
planned that she was frightened BY
the appearance of the bandit. "a
