Five natives passed on the trail that day and 1t Is believed they were the culprits. The tired land hungry crew were forced to mush to another cabin several miles away to spend the night. This is one of the first cases known in re-
 cent years where a shelter cabin has been robbed, an offense more serious
 than shooting a man down in cold

Objective of Public School

The great objective of the public school is to prepare its pupils for useful citizenship. One of the chief criteria of good citizenship is respect for and disposition to obey law. This attitude of mind is growth rather than of spontaneous origin. The school should strive to instill, foster and cultivate ideals which make for law observance. From the kindergarten to the last year of the senior high school course in citi- zenship should be taught. In an ever widening spiral the individuals relationship to his fellows, to the state, the nation, the world, should be demonstrated. Citizenship courses should be made as concrete as possi- ble. The theory of social relation ship is important but actual partici. patton in the application of proper social procedure will doubly rein
 force the privileges and duties oi
 citizenship.-Supt. J. w. Gowans

 The Commissioner required the defendant to furnish q cash bond of $2O0 for appearance at 10 o'clock on the following morning. The bond was furnished.
 Aside from some very significant circumstantial evidence, it was a weak case for the government Unfortunately no one saw the start of the affair, and in the absence of this most essential evidence there was little if any surprise when the | jury, after an hours deliberation failed to bring a verdict for con. viction.
