Plummer District Next

Miss Ruth Gerhart, county
superintendent of schools, has
complete the work of apportion-
ing the state and county school
money for the first half of the
year among the school districts
of the county. The county school
money amounted to S9,389.78 and
the state school money to S3,-
762.49.
The largest amount appor-
toned to any one district went
to Independent District No. of
st. Maries, which received So
1878 county money and ST.
33S.69 state money, making
total of S3,S27.42. Plummer
district comes next with 81 ,O82 .65
county money and S578.56 state
money or a total of Sl,56l.2t, a
little less than half the amount
the st. Maries district received.
st. Joe received the next largest
amount, her share of the county
money being S348.45 and of the
state money si93.35, or a total
of S54l.8O.
The amounts received by other
villages in the county were:
Fernwood, S2i4.Ol county,
.Slf7.l3 state, total S33l.ii; San
Ia, sl93.87 county, siOi.82 state,
total S298.69; Emida, Sl62.72
county, 1854 state, total S248.t6
Tensed, Sl38.t2, county, $3.50,

Some of the country districts
in which there are no villages re-
ceived more money than some Of
the districts containing villages.
The smallest amount received by
any district was S92.3S county and
Sfi.29 state, total $4,000. There
are several country districts

sessments. Only about a half
dozen protests we're filed in all
and these were by small proper
ty owners and the amounts in
volved were small, none of the
large taxpayers protesting. This
speaks we'll for Assessor Reynolds
and the manner in which he has
performed his work. 1t is some
thing very uncommon for an as
SCISSOR to perform his work \sO
we'll that practically all of the
taxpayers of the county are sat
isfed. The work of making up
the state abstract was started this
morning and under the law it
must be completed by the first
Monday in August.

Find Body OF
Lucia OIeSOn

The body of Lucia Oleson, the
nine year old daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Oleson, was found
Sunday afternoon at Zonia, on
the st. Joe river about forty miles
below Avery, where she was
drowned. The body was discov-
cred by some fisherman on an
island in the river where it had
been left when the water went
down.
The little girl was drowned on
the first day Of June, nearly two
months before the body was dis
covered. She is supposed to have
slipped from a log while crossing
o small creek which flows into
the st. Joe near the house where
her parents lived at Avery and,
although the river was dragged
and every effort was made to dis
cover the body as soon as she was
missed, no trace of it was found
until Sunday.
The remains were brought to
this city and taken to the under
taking parlors where they we're
prepared for burial. Mr.. and Mrs.
Cleson formerly resided i'm Occur
d'Alene and the remains will be
taken there for burial No ar
rangements have yet been made
for the funeral.

OF SuperintendentS
WAS HELD LAST WEEK AT MOSCOW
County Superintendent Reports An Interesting
And Instructive Conference

County superintendent of
Schools Miss Ruth Gerhart re-
turned Friday night from the con-
ference of county superintendent
held at Moscow the past week.
She reports that the conference
was most interesting and sue
cessful. The morning sessions,
conducted by President Black OF
the Lewiston Normal, were de-
voted to the problems peculiar to
the state and local administration
of education. Especial atten-
ton was given to the most etfec-
tive plan for financial support OF
the rural schools and the most
effective unit of school admins
tration.sz Needed legislation, cen
tralization, school budgets, and
social surveys of rural cOmmun-
tiles we're the chief topics for dis
cussion although perhaps the
greatest value of the conference
was the "give and take among
the superintendents on questions
of vital interest to them.
The afternoon sessions were
held jointly with the Community
Welfare Conference and the Con-
ference of City Superintendents
and Principals. DR.. Brannon,
President of the State University,
was chairman of these meetings
at which the leading topics were
Good Roads, Community Center
Work, Health and sanitation, So
cial Surveys and Religious Edu-
cation in the Schools.
Wednesday afternoon the visit
ing superintendent were shown
about the University farm and
were given an idea of the splen-
did work which is being done by
the Department Of Agriculture,
following which the afternoon
session concerned itself with rur-
al health and sanitation.
This is the second of such
meetings held this year, the first
being conducted at Albion earlier
in the month. Fourteen county
superintendent we're present and
the State Department of Educa-
ton was represented by the State
superintendent Miss Bernice Nc
Coy.

Take Friends
On Fishing Trip

Mr.. and Mrs. John Steadwel,
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Geering and
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Burkhardt, all
of Spokane, have been the guests
of Mr.. and Mrs. w. M. Cullens of
this city for the past few days.
Last Thursday Mr.. and Mrs.
Cullens took their guests for
fishing trip to Big Greek. The
party enjoyed some excellent
fishing but their success only
whetted the appetite of the men
for more and they determined to
cross the divide to the east fork
OF Big Greek and try the fishing
there. The ladies of the party
returned home and the men made
the trip across the divide. Al
though they found the trip a very
hard one, the sport which they
enjoyed after reaching the creek
abundantly repaid them for the
hardships which they endured.
The party returned Sunday
evening bringing back with them
one of the finest catches of trout
that has been brought into the
city. The Spokane members ot
The party we're enthusiastic ovel
their experience, which they arr
determined TO repeat at a future
date.

Burglars Again
Busy In City
TWO ROBBERIES LAST FRIDAY NICf
Missouri Restaurant And Nelson's Clothing Store
Are Broken Into

There were two burglaries in
the city Friday night, one in each
end Of the city. The one in the
west end was at the Missouri
restaurant and was camparitiVe-
ly early in the evening. II. B.
Gains and a friend we're walking
by the place at the time the rob-
Der was inside and heard him but
thinking it was the proprietor
they made no investigation.
The burglar gained entrance
through the back door He rifled
the cash register in which he
found one dollar and fifty cents.
This sum. and a small amount Of
food was the extent of his haul
there.
The burglary in the east end
took place at Oliver Nelson's
clothing store on First street.
Entrance was gained by prying
off a window casing and then
forcing the window up, in the rear
of the store. A pick was used
to pry the casing off and was
found at the scene of the crime.
It is thought the pick was OBJ
tanned from the railroad tool
house which was broken into the
same night.
At Nelson's the ROBBERS took
at least one suit of clothes and
pair of shoes. 1t is possible
that other articles were also tax
en- but these were all that were
missed. The suit taken was one
which had been sold the day be-
fore and had been hung on one
side. 1t was of medium size
while the shoes missed were siz,
If and could not possibly be worr
by the man the suit would fit. Nc
trace of the robbers has been dis
covered.

Another Body
Found In River

The dead body of a man was
found in the river near Marshalrs
Landing Sunday afternoon. The
were notified and the
body was brought to this city fJr
possible identification and burial.
From appearance it was the body
of laborer but it had been in
the water so long and was
in such a state Of decomposition
that identification will be prac-
tically an impossible task.
The body was in such a bad
state that it was a difficult task
to handle it and as the undertaken
was obliged to be out of town yes
terday no attempt was made to
examine it or identify it until last
evening. The face was so badly
decompOsed that no idea as to the
mans age could be arrived at.
A Finlander was drowned down
the river several months ago and
his body never recovered. 1t is
thought that this may be his re-
mains or else the remains of one
of the two river drivers who were
drowned this spring in Marble
, creek. This is the third body
taken out of the river within the
past two weeks besides that of f.
r Hawkins, who was drowned
here while bathing.

Mass Meeting
To Talk Fair

1t will soon be time to hold the
annual st. Maries Fair. The Of
iicers of the association have
been working on the matter for
some time and have their plans
we'll under way for it and have
called a mass meeting at the
court house for Saturday evening
to discuss the plans.
One or two OF half a dozen men
cannot make the fair a success.
Il takes the entire community and
everyone must boost for it. The
Plummer celebration has shown
that even a much smaller COM
munity than this can make an en-
terprise of this kind a success if
the entire community is back OF
it and every person is out boost
ing for it. 1t is only by display
ing the same kind of enthusiasm
and by all pulling together that
ST. Maries can expect to make a
success out Of the fair this year
or at any other time.
The mass meeting has beer
called TO see if that spirit is here
to learn if the people really wanf
the fair and are willing to get ouI
and work and boost for it anC
the question Of whether or no
the fair will be held will depend
largely upon the attendance anO

seemed to benefit her very much.
1t was decided that she would re-
main there for the next month or
six weeks.
Mr.. O'Dwyer left Astoria Fri
day for Tacoma where he spent
few hours going from there to
Seattle by boat and returning here
Sunday. While in Portland he
met A. C.. Heston, formerly agent
Tor the Red Collar Line in this
city. Mr.. Heston is operating a
steamboat on the Columbia river
and is doing very we'll.
