FOR SAFETY OF CHILDREN

At the regular meeting of the
school board the matter of safety
for the wagons was taken up and
Messrs. Kennedy, Davis and Sollen-
berger were appointed to meet with
the several drivers. Agent W. L.
Young was invited to be present.
After the matter was fully dis
cussed it was decided that all
wagons be ordered to cross the
tracks at the Bridge street crossing.
A motion was made and carried
to the effect that the O. S. l.. be
asked to put flagman at this cross
ing for the protection of the child
rem. Mr.. Young stated that he could
only place the matter before the
proper railroad authorities, that he
would do that and recommend to
them that such an action be taken.
1t was also ask of the railroad
company that they open their trains
promptly SO that wagons can cross
quickly and prevent delay in arriv-
ing at school and check the inclina-
tion of children to pass under or
over the standing trains.
Wagons from routes one, two and
four are to load and unload ontthe
corner of Shilling and Bridge streets
and not go to the high school build

BEST ROAD TO TABER

The road to Taber and Lost river
is unusually bad just now. People
having occasion to travel between
Blackfoot and Taber are advised to
go west from Snake river bridge to
Hatcliff's dry farm, Is miles, then
north to the railroad and west about
a mile and a half into Taber.
Travelling the other way, from Taber
to Blackfoot is is about seven miles
from where one leaves the railroad
at Mrs. Jackson's farm, south to
Hatcliff's. 1t is seven miles from
Hatcliff's to Rockford, and eight
miles from there. to the bridge.
The road via Moreland is bad, and
the old stage road is worse. Per-
sons desiring to go from Taber to
Moreland are' advised to go east
three miles ON the south side of the
track, and then go south to Joe
Stewards corner, then east. This
avoids the worse part of the More
land road.

When Rev. Kelley of Lamar
was down here last year, in the
interest of the Chautauqua at La
mar, we asked him if it would be
possible to get the Chautauqua
at Springfield this year, and he
said that it was out of the regu-
lar order to go Uff the railroad
but he would take it up with the
Chautauqua parties and endeavor
to land it. We are consequently
indebted to Rev. Kelly for his
assistance in getting this great
educational entertainment in this
railroadless county.

chances are that by the end of the

from half to three-fourths and
better of their present circulation,
