With this money saved the municipal railway easily could
offset the increase of $4,000 month which the October
raise in tranmens pay added upon the street system
And there is only way by which this saving of time
and money be effeced-by building huge terminal at
Third and Blanchard St, proposed by Thomas f.
Murphine superintendent of public utilities.
Such terminal would eliminate useless and costly opei-
alton of street they operate in the downtown
districts.
BY all means let us build the terminal and ut once.

SCHOOL NOTES.

School started IN Monday. The
first day brought a large enrolment,
even larger than had been anticipat-
ed. The High Schto is temporarily
Quartered in the City Hall, the Cen
trail building housing five grades
and the old school house the remain
ing three. Work is we'll under way
by the time this goes to print, and a
splendid school year is anticipated
The classes are organizing and the
senior class hopes to rival the last
years class in the Annual that was
inaugurated by the last year class.
The football team has been organized
and has had a first practice. Games
are being scheduled with Casselton,
Coopertown, Fargo and as many
ether schools as the seaon will per.
1t is hoped that nothing will occu,
TO break up the football season, such
as the Flu last year, and great hopes
are in the air for anticipated victor
les.
Supt. Schwalje anticipates a splen-
did year for the basketball team
and plans for a big season are al
ready under way. Most OF the
splendidly victorious team of last
year are at hand and it is antici-
pated that Hope will have one Of the
fastest teams in the state.
The glee clubs are being organic
ed under the direction of Miss Mel
son, and we are anticipating splendid
concerts to result.
Faculty and children are making
the best Of the rather broken up
conditions, but all are optimistic for
the better conditions when the school
house is finished.
All Of those who are not registered
as yet are urged to come at the earl
lest possible moment. You cannot
expect to do your best work II you
lose the first few weeks Of school.
1t is hoped to re-organize the
Teachers Parents association as
sociation as oon as possible. Many
interesting meetings are anticipated
Let US all boost for our home town
and for our home schools.

he is at. Galesburg where IA lively
interest is being taken in the ma
chine. Posters are up stating that
he will be in Hope on Saturday,
Sept. 9th. The commercial part of
aviation is developing rapidly and
altho the novelty of flying through
the air is the chief attraction at
present, 1t will soon provide Il com.
mon means of rapid transportation
for passengers, mail and merchan-
disc. The present generation has
seen the automobile, or horseless

develop from a novelty-which thou

That taxes this year will be in

422,258 last year. There will be a
total of $2.98 mills levied for state
purposes to provide $4.611.760 for
expenses of running the state as com
pared to $1,713,408.11. the total
last years expense. OF course that
includes the $4,000 for the SOL
