Roundup School Tax
Election Is Declared
Illegal by Court
to The Tribune.

SSpCNldI " Inc lTlDule.
Roundup, May 27.-By a recent deci
sion Of Judge Horkan, the school elec.
ton which was recently held was de.
clared void. for the reason that voters
who were not f%reeholders were per.
mitted to cast ballots.
The election was for the purpose OF
levying a special 10 mill tax for the
purpose of carrying on the school for
the next year. The trustees of the
school board have called another elec.
ton for the same purpose for June 3
at which the same question will be
submitted. The trustees say that in
the event that the levy is beaten. it is
doubtful if the local schools will open
next fall, as even with drastic cuts in
salaries and in the teaching staff
amounting to about $4,000, with this
special levy beaten. it will not be DOS
sibie to carry on the schools for over
four months, with the funds available.
This will forfeit the state appor-
tionment from the school fund. and the
state and county high school levies will
not be available. still further Gripping
the district financially.

The article published in the Herald

branch of the Great Northern Railway
Co. had been leased to the Canadian
Pacific Railway Co., was called to the
attention of Supt. Doyle, of the Spo-
kane division of the Great Northern
His comment was published as fol-
lows in last Saturdays Spokane
Chronicle:
Work of repairing a number of
bridges on the Porthill branch of the
Great Northern railroad running north
out of Boomers Ferry has given rise
to the rumor that the line may be ex-
tended into Creston, B. G.
Superintendent J. M Doyle of the
Spokane division today denied that
there was any foundation in fact in
the report. He said the Great North
erR had no intention of relaying rails
which were taken up IL years ago
between the Canadian border and the
lower end Of Kootenai lake in British
Columbia.
1--WE are only doing some necessary
rebuilding on the line Superintend-
ent Doyle declared. Talk OF an ex-
tension is groundless. Neither does
the Great Northern contemplate leas-
ing the branch line to the Canadian
Pacific. In fact 1 don't think that the
Canadian Pacific would want the line
and / don't know what 1t would do
with it if it had it,"
