SCHOOL DISTRICTS
VOTE TO CONSOLIDATE

BY decisive vote Wednesday, July
5th, the Miner, Eureka and Robb
school districts north of Monte Vista
decided upon the consolidation plan
of conducting their school affairs.
The result of the election is as fol-
lows:
District "a, Milner-53 votes cast.
35 for consolidation, 1S against.
District 81, Eureka-27 votes cast,
25 for, against.
District %, Robbie votes cast,
10 for, against.
Total votes cast, 96; 70 for the
proposition and 26 against.
On July 2S, there will be an cleo
ton at Eureka school house for the
purpose of selecting three directors
for the consolidated district A new
school building will be erected to pro-
vide for four grade rooms of two
grades each and for a two-year high
school course. The location for the
school has not yet been determined.
The consolidation of these districts
has been under contemplation for
three years and Superintendent Hart
is entitled to great credit for bringing
it to a successful issue. There seems
to be no question but that the con-
solidation was the right move. as the
advantages In an~educational way are
vastly superior to the small independ-
ent school in which one teacher has
all the grades in one room. The con-
solidated school will be the equal
of the school of the towns.
The school law provides for addi-
tional territory being included within
a consolidated district, the procedure
being for a majority of the residents
to petition for annexation. A plan is
proposed to include IN the new dis
rict. the territory embraced within
the following boundaries: From the
Rio Grande river north to line two
miles south of the Saguaohe county
line, and from the Alamosa- Rio
Grande county line west to the Gun
barrel road, the remaining territory
in section 10 and "a to be Joined to
joint district No. 26.

COLORADO SHY ON
VOLUNTEER ENLISTMENTS

Colorado seems to be In danger of
"unfavorable mention" in the mat
ter of recruiting its quota of the
National Guard. The adjutant gen.
eral has sent out the second call for
volunteers, about $50 men being yet
to be supplied for the Colorado
quota. If the number is not obtained
the adjutant will be compelled to re-
port that this state has failed to
come up with it's part of the guard
required of 1t and this may be fol-
lowed by a governmental order for
drafting.
Capt. C. E. Hill and Lieutenant
Hawksworth have been in Monte
Vista the past week and have OPP
ened recruiting station at City hall
They report considerable enthusiasm
at Del Norte but little has been evi
denced at Monte Vista. A public
meeting will be held at City hall to
night (Friday) and the young men
are urged to come and enter service
under the Stars and Stripes.

DANGER OF FOREST FIRES
GREATER THAN IN YEARS

The danger from forest fires in the
mountains of Colorado and southern
Wyoming is greater at this time than
it has been for years. Although the
Forest Service has expended approx
mately $1,000 to extinguish fires in
this territory during the past month
and the General Land Office and
some of the counties have expended
large sums, great deal OF damage
has been done to the forests.
The growing value of the forests
for recreation. watershed protection,
and commercial uses make it impera-
tive that every good citizen lend his
assistance in protecting the forests.
Those who go into the mountains can
help by being careful. Whoever dis
covers a fire can help by reporting II
promptly to the nearest forest ofhcer'

GOOD RESULTS FROM
POISONING HOPPERS

The poisoning campaign which has
been waged against the grasshopper
pest north of the river during the
past three weeks has proven very
successful In conversation today
with Agriculturist Thomas and Prof.
Jones of the Agricultural college. the
Journal man was informed that an
investigation of the fields showed
that not one instance could be found
that had failed in almost completely
eradicating the grasshoppers where
the poison had been properly applied.
Great quantities of the paris green
mixed with bran have been distrib-
uted over the fields by the farmers
and the expense and labor were JUS
tilted by the results.
Instances of stock having been
poisoned have upon investigation
been found to be from carelessness.
The appointment of w. E. Kistler
as pest inspector has received the ap-
proval of the farmers, as he is known
to be an earnest worker and may be
depended upon to treat the situation
impartially and thoroughly.

MINSTREL SHOW

The Ladies' Minstrel at the opera
house gave their second performance
to a crowded house and the show was
enthusiastically received. The show
was coached and directed by Mr.. F.
E. Payden and the cast was made up
entirely of home talent The Public
Library association, under whose
auspices the show was given, received
about one hundred dollars from the
two nights proceeds, after paying all
expenses.
The different parts in the show
were we'll taken, some exceptional
talent being displayed not hitherto
suspected, which speaks we'll for the
coaching and hard work done by the
individuals. Part One was presided
over by Mrs. Chas. Trueblood who
made lovely interlocutor and whose
charming rendition of the solo "Old
Black Joe" received wrapt attention.
The other solos were we'll rendered
and supported by magnificent chor-
us, while the dance steps were very
cleverly executed The end men per-
petrated the usual jokes at the ex-
pense of the local people.
The last part of the show was de-
voted to musical features and mon
ologue. Among these, the sextetto in
red picture hats, and the Indian girls
were very pretty costume effects.
Mrs. Pollocks monologue was
scream.
Every number of the show was
encored.
A well attended dance at Woodmen
hall was the closing event of the day.
