ANCHORAGE ON RESERVE--
 RESIDENTS MAY NOT VOTE

A special act of Congress may be necessary before the people residing in Anchorage can vote TOT delegate or on other territorial affairs.
 The legal status of people living in the Cook Inlet town seems to be somewhat involved, according to in- vestigations made by local attorneys.
 The federal law provides that the national government shall have com, plete jurisdiction over all reservations set aside by act of Congress.
 Under the government railroad act the President reserved certain town sites along the line of the govern ment railroad, of which the land at the mouth of Ship creek, including Anchorage, as plated, and consider able other ground is one.

Regarding the likelihood Of

III. C. Bulls Goes to Washington
to Arrange Sale of Talking
Movie Device
MANY OFFERS RECEIVED
Men from East Will Pay Large
tSum and Royalties for Right
to Use Patent

| i'll. G. Bullisleft Monday morn
ing for Washington to, consult
with his attorney concerning the
sale of patent which he has
held for over year and for
which he received last week the
1attering offer Of $4,000 and
royalties. Mr.. Bulls invention
is the combination of moving
picture films and talking appa-
ratus whereby only one instru-
ment is necessary instead of two
and the talking must accord with
the picture as the spoken words
are run on a film instead of on
a record as has been done here
tofore. This removes the only
objection to the talking pictures
and makes them really practical.
Since Mr.. Bulls took out the
patent for his device he has had
many fattering offers, and last
week two men from the east,
who own several film patents,
came to Redwood Falls and made
him the $4,000 offer including
royalty on every foot of film
run. If the attorney of Mr.. Bull
lis finds no. technicalities in
the way, the transfer of the pat
ent rights will be made this
week.
Mr.. Bulls has been in the en-
ploy Of the Redwood Power Com
pany for the past several weeks.

School Officers
Meet al Wabasso
Two Hundred Members of School
Boards Discuss Rural School
Problems
SUPT. PRATT LEADS
County Attorney Emerson Inter-
prets New Pension And In
dustriaI Tuition Laws

The school officers Of Redwood
County held their annual meet
ing at Wabasso Tuesday, Octo-
Der 10, Supt. Adella G. Pratt
having charge of the meeting.
The attendance was very large,
about two hundred county Off
GERS being present, and the meet
ing was one of the most inter-
esting and instructive that has
been held in recent years.
The morning session was TAX
EN- up by Mrs. Pratt's report on
the things which have already
been accomplished and her out
line of the work which remains
to be done.
Discuss Problems
The afternoon session was
spent in a discussion of the new
movements in rural education
such as consolidation, elimina-
ton and combination of classes,
farmers club work in combina-
ton with school work, physical
development through games and
the proper supervision Of play
grounds. There was also much
interest shown in the problem Of
getting excellent teachers and
keeping them in the work.
Interpret Laws
County Attorney Albert Ener-
sen gave an interesting interpre-
tation of the new school laws,
including the teachers pension
law and the law which makes it
impossible for the high schools
to charge tuition for industrial
work up to the home district.
This tuition must now be paid
by the state. Miss Carney, the
state supervisor of Normal work,
was not able to attend as had
been hoped, and the meeting
closed with a discussion of the
problems presented by the ques-
tor box.
The officers showed a great
spirit of interest in the work oil
the meeting, giving opinions
freely and accepting graciously
the opinions Of others. There
was a distinct spirit of co-opera-
tion, this was especially mani.
tested in the matter of raising
more funds to pay for the new
school building on the fail
grounds.
