The city fathers of Bangor have de-
cided that all drivers of public auto
mobiles must pay a license fee to the
city. The officials were in doubt as to
their power to enforce the payment by
people coming from other places and
running public machine. but City
Solicitor Gardner decided that they
have that right. The public auto driv-
ers OF Bangor also have a grievance.
claiming that they are being discrimi-
mated against in being obliged to pay
SO license fee, whereas the public
carriage drivers pay but so cents. 1t
is understood that the city solicitor
has informally said that the board
has no right to so discriminate.

road, while not as wide as might be
desired. is as smooth as a floor, free
from little mounds or depressions.
This well-nigh perfect highway has
been brought about by the use of
the simple split-log drag after rain

preventing holes from forming. The

One Of Portland's prominent wing
shots accompanied by his faithful
pointer made a tour of the Cape Eliz-
abeth woods yesterday and was sur
prised in finding a number of covers
of young birch partridge, relates the
Portland Advertiser of Aug. 4. The
most genuine surprise. however, was
that in discovering the number Of
good sized covers Of the recently plant
ed Hungarian partridge. The birds
reminded the hunter much of the

quail and when in fight. few (as he

in one flock perhaps 20 in number
were strong on the wing and their
queer whistling cry as they sailed

note to the attentive ear of the shoot

these problems and takes especial in

teachers was her advice.
School Finances.
Mr.. Black proposed with reference to
financing and providing for the up
keep of the school that the commission
ers levy general tax to cover the ex-
pense Of seven months of school in
every district in the county and the ex-
pense besides that to be raised in each
individual school district by a special
tax. This would tend to provide equal
school facilities to the scholars in
every district, in both rich and n
districts. Of course this would put an
extra, unappreciable burden on the
richer districts but it would result in
the poorer districts having the pest of
facilities and equal privileges. Tha. is
the purpose of the common school sys-
tenn and would have lasting benefit.
Among the other matters which
came up for consideration before the
meeting was the question as to
whether it would not be a better plan
to hold the trustees meeting at the
close of the teachers institute thus
affording an opportunity for the
teachers and the school trustees to get
in closer touch with each other and to
handle the problems which arise more
intelligently, and this idea was given
good support by the meeting. Mrs.
Frank Smith, one of the school trustees
in attendance made a short talk on the
rural teacher which was good, and Ed
Blake of Keuterville also made some
suggestions on different lines which
were apt and will received. The inter.
est manifested by those in attendance
was good and results of the meeting
successful from every point of view.
Among those in attendance were
Edward Blake, Keuterville; Floyd
Church; Oscar Chase; j. B. Leeper;
Mrs. Frank Smith, Lucille; Tom Sur

The first Sunday afternoon Social
Hour held at the Community Clt.h last
Sunday was a decided success both an
numbers that attended and tie enter
tainment given. The High School
Orchestra rendered four selections that
were good music and well given. This
orchestra of boys is rapidly winning a
place in the esteem of Grangeville for
they make good every time they APP
pear. Too much praise cannot be given
Miss Helen Gwinn who has succeeded
lin bringing the boys to the high eff
feciency to which they have attained
in so short time. Miss Blackwell, the
popular English teacher, gave two ex-
cellent readings also. It is the desire
of the club to maintain these social
hours every Sunday at 4 o'clock. They
will be free to the public; the program
will be varied and entertaining; and
you are cordially invited.
The Executive Committee held their
monthly meeting at the club tuesday
evening and transacted the regular
business.
Inc LauleSe Room on the second
floor is rapidly nearing completion.
This is the old eight grade room at the
top of the stairs. The ladies of the
Federated church are fitting it up for
ladies room where their society will
meet regularly. Attached to this room
is the old superintendent IS room which
is being fitted up as a kitchen. 1t is
the hope of the club to soon fix up the
old assembly room as an auditorium for
public meetings and social gatherings
ing and look over the club.

transfer title to eighty acres in

Indian Schools,

The committee on course of
study for the United States Indian
schools recently convened by the
Commissioner of Indian Affairs.
Cato Sells, after several weeks
work in conference at Washington
has completed a course of study
which will give the Indians the
best vocational training offered by
any school system in the United
States.
AS these schools must train In
dian youth of both sexes to as
sumo the duties and responsible
tiles of self-support and citizen
ship, this course strongly empha-
sizes vocational training.
1t is divided into three divis-
ions. The first is the beginning
stage, the second the finding
sta ge, and the third the finishing
stage. During the first and sec
ond periods the training in do
nestle and industrial activities
centers around the conditions es-
sential to the Improvement and
proper maintenance of the home
and farm. The course outlined in
the prevocational division IS
unique in the fact that in addition
to the regular academic subjects
boys are required to take practical
courses in farming, gardening,
dairying, farm carpentry, farm
blacksmithing, farm engineering,
farm masonry, farm painting, and
shoe and harness repairing, and
all girls are required to take
courses in home cooking, sewing,
laundering, nursing, poultry rails
ing, and kitchen gardening.
This course not only prepares
the Indian youth for industrial
efficiency but at the same time
helps them to find those activities
Gov which thav .ra hest a0apted
and to which they should apply
themselves definitely during the
vocational period, the character
and amount of academic work be-
ing determined by its relative
value and Importance as a means
of solving the problems of the
farmer, mechanic, and housewife.

ATTITUDES IN ARIZONA.

The highest point in the State of Arizona thus far determined by the United States Geological Survey is the San Francisco Peak triangulation station, in Coconino county, 12,611 feet above mean sea level. This eleva- ton is given in a list of more than 1900 bench marks placed by the United States Geological Survey and the Coast and Geodetic Survey con tained in Bulletin 573, entitled "Rc- suits of Spirit Leveling in Arizona, 1899 to 1914, inclusive" The bulletin also contains a list of more than 150 secondary elevations from records and topographic maps of the Geological Survey, including attitudes of we'll known summits.
 The new bulletin is one of a series of similar reports being published by the Geological Survey and should be of considerable advantage to survey ors and engineers who have occasion to use bench-mark elevations in lay ing out railroads or other lines where accuracy of elevation is necessary. The r.port is, in fact, a guide to the bench marks that have been set by the Government engineers, for while the numbers stamped on the bench marks represent the elevations to the nearest foot as determined by the levelman, the bulletin gives the exact elevation to thousandths of a foot of the point thus marked.
 A copy of the bulletin may be oB- tained free on application to the Di-I rector of the Geological Survey, D. C.
