SCHAECHER
SELLS OUT
PIONEER DRUGGIST SELLS
BUSINESS TO SPO-
KANE MAN.

Theodore F. Schaecher, the
pioneer druggist of Cottonwood,
sold his stock of merchandise
and business to j. F. Brown of
Spokane and Monday morning
10th parties interested in the
deal commenced taking an in
ventory of the stock Of goods.
The business was turned over to
the new proprietor this morning
and in the future the Cotton
wood Pharmacy will be conduc-
ted by Mr.. Brown and his assis-
tant, Mr.. Ledbetter, also of Spo-
kane and a first class prescrip-
tion druggist. Both Mr.. Brown
and Mr.. Ledbetter have families
which they plan to move to Cot
tonwood as soon as suitable
homes can lie procured.
Mr.. Schaecher, the retiring
druggist, has been in business in
Cottonwood for nine years dur
ing which time he has built up
an excellent trade and made
many friends who will regret to
see him and his esteemable
family depart from the city.
The reason for disposing of
his business, as given out by Mr..
Schaecher is that he wishes to
get out in the open and Ee re-
/ lieved from the close confine-
ment which he has been more OF
less subject to for the past nine
years. We understand that his
plans for the future are not full
/ ly settled but that he will remain
in Cottonwood until spring at
least, when he will try his luck
at farming.
Mr.. Schaecher wishes to eX-
press his thanks through the
Chronicle to his many friends
and patrons who so loyalty sup
ported his business institution
during the past nine years and
says that he will always have q
warm spot in his heart for them
and that no matter where DE de-
cides to locate, he and his family
will always think of them in a
most kindly way.
Regardless of the fact that
Cottonwood is losing a mighty
fine family we wish to extend to
the new comers a hearty well
come and wish them success in
all of their undertakings in Cot
tonwOod.

and daughter arrived in the city
Wednesday evening from south
ein Idaho via the North and
South highway on their way
home to Spokane. They spent
Thursday here visiting with Mr..

says that the Salmon river road
for scenery was hard to beat but
that so much OF the road was un-
completed it made the trip far
from a pleasant one and especi-

they were compelled to back
their car for half mile to pass
a machine coming in the oppos-
ite direction and should they
ave gone off of the road six
inches would have plunged into
the Salmon river several hun
dred feet below.

SUPERINTENDENT HERE.


Frank A. Swanger of Downey,
Idaho, who was selected as SUI
perimtendent for the Cottonwood
Public school, arrived here last
week from a two months vaca-
ton trip which he spent in tour
ing the country in his car with
his family. They have rented
the William Nuxoll property and
are now nicely located in their
new home. Mr.. Swanger and
his family are well impressed
with Cottonwood and he is al
ready working out a number of
details which has to do with the
opening of school, Monday, Sep
tember 18th. Mr.. Swanger is
very pleasing gentleman to meet
and we believe will make splen-
did showing with our school the
coming nine months.
Statement by Supt. Swanger.
The public schools of Cotton
wood will open on Monday morn
ing, September 18th at 8 a. m.
The first days work is very i'm
portant for organization and
there should he full attendance
in both grades and high school.
Classification will take place,
books be purchased and distri-
buted, assignments for the next
days work be made, and short
age in texts will be noted and
ordering of books to supply de-
ficiencies can be then made.
The superintendent office
will be open also on the preced-
ing Saturday from | p. m. to d
p. m. for the purpose of meeting
all high school pupils who come
that day for preliminary consid-
GRAFTON of course of study to be
taken, etc. The whole idea is
to get into the school harness as
promptly as possible and to
make the school days count from
the very first. In many places
the work of classification and
preparation for class work, such
as getting books. etc. takes
place Friday and Saturday pre-
ceding the opening under the
regular schedule. BY opening
The superintendent office how
ever we simply give opportunity
for some forehanded work by
those who have the forethought
to do it.
The following teachers have
been selected and will be on hand
to forward the school work from
the very first day: Prof. Angus
tus Boosinger, principal high
school and teacher of manual
training; he will also have other
classes. Mr.. Boosinger comes
highly recommended.
Teacher of English and other
subjects to round out teaching
requirements. We have assur-
ances that this line of work will
be well taken care of.
Miss Hanson, who was here
last year will again have the
domestic science and some sci
ence classes besides. Her abil-
ity is well known and her work
will glide away smoothly from
the first.
Supt. Swanger will teach the
history classes and some math-
ematics.
The grade teachers are as fol-
lows:
First and second grades Alice
Tiffany.
Third and fourth grades Har-
riet Meyers.
Fifth and sixth grades Lois
Coolidge.
This summons all parents and
pupils to the cause of education
under the provisions of the state
Let us answer it to the full and
enable those who lead as teach
ers to mark out the work well
from the very first day.

sympathize with the governors ideas on
this subject and hope for favorable con-
sideration of them by the legislature.
In recommending the establishment of
one central normal school independent
of any other institution" Governor Glenn
ent evidently voices his disapproval of
the proposed school in connection with
the University of Vermont and thus
aligns himself neither with the present
normal school advocates or the so-called
Burlington educational crowd. He
sagely points out that the present law
permits any town to have just as many
little red school houses" as its voters
wish.
On the important subject of state f.
