country schools between Will
 Hams and Bellemont. The most
 feasible plan proposed was to
 build a large central school in the vicinity of Dennis Tank, at
 the junction of the new Canyon
 Road with the Highway. The
 children from Garland Prairie,
 Government Prairie, Spring
 Valley, Pittman Valley and
 Bellemont could be hauled to
 and from the proposed school
 in large trucks. For the child
 ren of Red Lake Valley, it
 would be shorter haul, and
 to Williams. About half
 purchased. In addition to the
 new school buildings, which
 have to be constructed, and the
 present school buildings aban-
 doned, the roads would have to
 be worked in many places, all
 of which would burden the
 County with new additional if
 nancial obligations, which
 would have to be paid out of it's | already overdrained treasury.
 While the consolidated school
 would have some advantages
 over the present school system, some of the people thought the
 plan should be postponed, due to the low ebb of finance in Co.,
 conino county at the present time. When it is put into effect there necessarily will have to l. 4n the increased expenses of con- ducting the schools, which will probably be met by levying more taxes, provided the plan is adopted.
 On Tuesday, the 4th, Ranger Arthur Gibson espied a fine large buck at the foot of Ken drick Mountain. The buck had ; the largest antlers Arthur ever saw. He loped his horse in high all the way to Spring Val ley Ranger Station and told Ranger John Cook that the buck he saw was a 25 pointer. John at once cranked his car, and the boys grabbed their rifles and were off, breaking all speed records in getting to the spot. They saw two bucks and a doe, all grazing peacefully under the shelter of the pines. They approached the deer sill ently to a spot, from which they'll could take good aim, and make sure killings, and opened fire. They shot in all 23 times, when they used up all the ammuni- : ion they had. During the time the deer grazed on peacefully, of the murderous de- signs of the hunters. Ranger Gibson served two years in the U. s. Army, and Ranger Cook S at present member of the National Guard, which, of 2 course, shows that the boys are \ excellent shots, and either were d hooting blank cartdidges or d lad a very bad case of buck ii ever. -
