TDr. w. f. Aaron Acquires Studebaker
Agency.

Folts Motor Car Company, of Boise,
was last week sold to DR.. W. E. Aaron
who will take active charge of the
business. The local agency for Stude-
baker cars is included in the deal,
but not the Cadillac which has been

DR.. Aaron is too well known in this
section to need any introduction to
the automobile owners and will un-
doubtedly build up a splendid busi-

to discontinue his dental practice and
the new business will be given into
the hands of a practical garage man

Judge F. s. Dietrich decided the case
| in favor Of the county
On recommendation of the state tax
commission, no assessment was levied
against the dam and canal system for
the year 1913, but the board of com
missiOners ordered the assessor to as
sess the system for $500,000, the taxes
amounting to between $4,000 and $1O,-
900, which the company refused to pay
setting up the claim that the system
was exempt under the law passed in
1913.
At a later date the company brought
suit in the federal court to sci
aside the tax, which was denied by The

SENATOR SMITH

Death took from the ranks of Clover
land people one OF its foremost citi-
zens last Monday when former Senator
Charles Smith of Lake Linden was
stricken. Senator Smith has been a
prominent figure in this upper PENN
sula for many years He was for six
teen years representative of the 32nd
district In the upper house OF the state
Legislature and during his entire po-
litical career he was ever alert to
make the upper peninsula known and
appreciated by the people below the
straits
Senator Smith formed warm friend
ships all over the state All who served
with him during his many years in the
legislature liked him and respected
him. In HIS home life and community
he was leading citizen, respected and
loved by his neighbors.
From every section OF this peninsu-
la are coming words OF eulogy for the
distinguished and upright man who has
left us for the Great Beyond.

In another column appears an ar
ticle from one OF our readers on edu-
cational matters. This communication
Is In reply TO one published in these
columns a month or SO ago by one OF
our readers. We are glad to see our
readers taking an interest In school
matters and are pleased that they are
open in their talk. There should be no
resentment by those In charge Of
school matters at honest, open criti-
cism so long as there is no venting of
personal spleen or spite. The manage
ment OF our schools is big problem.
II isn't to be expected that those in
control viii; please everyone. IL they
did we should unhesitatingly pro-
nounce them failures. School boards
and school teachers can profit by cri-
ticism when IL is open and above
board. II is the fellow who whispers
around the corner that does the harm.
There is a lot OF money tied up in
our schools. The owner OF every little
house is paying a big tax this year,
will pay a big one next year and paid
big one last year to the upkeep or
our schools. He has a right to talk
and right TO kick IL he has a kick
coming. Many time a fellow thinks he
has a kick coming when he hasn't. II
he would spill out the things he has in
mind he might be set right but II he
keeps them to himself he will never
be the wiser
The Diamond Drill has had one cri-
ticlsm which we have stated several
times and which we intend to continue
to state until we are convinced that
we are wrong or else something is
done. Our criticism is that the people
of this district are paying too much
have paid too much--for buildings to
have them closed two-thii DIS of the
year. The school buildings should be
open nights. The library should be
available to the public and an effort
should be made to create library
that will be of assistance TO the gener-
al public as well as the high school
There should be night class for peo-
pie who are not able to attend the day
school. We are spending 500. 900 this
year on our schools. An additional
thousand would cover all these items
and wouldn't be noticed in the gem
eral scramble.

that il would do so. The surprising
thing about this blind pig business is
that so many of them existed right

No. brother, local option isn't all

II a special problem for that COM

the nut, il appears to us now that we
have been through the mill, that the

the man that is in the business of

It's hard for man to have his pro-
