Amputate Foot After Shot

Grace Christian, daughter Of Mr..
and Mrs. Fred Christian, Of Rhine
lander, was seriously wounded last
Wednesday night, when she was
shot in the foot by Walter Isabel,
23-year old youth. 1t was found
necessary to amputate the foot.
Isabel shot the girl through a win
dow as she was sitting in a room
in the Clifton House, where she
was domestic. The assailant was
edged in Oneida county Jail on
Thursday. His action was said to
be prompted by jealousy because of
attentions which his father is al
legged to have paid the girl.

Eagle River Is Dressing Up

In most towns of this size there
is no more unsightly spectacle than
the long lines of heavy strung tele-
phone poles along all the streets.
In the majority Of places these
wires are taken care of in cab s
underground This Improvement
is being started in Eagle River.
For several weeks the telephone
company has been busy laying the
conduits and placing the cable.
When their work is finished the APP
pearance of the town will be
greatly improved. Two streets,
Wall and Main, have already been
treated in this way and the differ
ence in appearance is very marked.

ADOPT PENSION SYSTEM
Three Counties Act on Old
Age Measure 9th ers
Watching Workings

An old age pension system was
last week adopted by Outagamie
La Crosse and Sawyer counties, fol
lowing its recent authorization by
the state legislature. These coun-
ties are the first to take this action,
though others are considering it.
The Lincoln county board of super
visors, at its meeting at Merrill,
discussed the introduction of the
system, but decided to observe its
workings in other counties first.
The old age pension system offers
aid for deserving persons 70 years
of age or over. The allowance is
limited to 81 a day and will be
granted only after satisfactory
proof of need by county judges.
One third Of the cost is borne by
the state and the balance by the
local community.
Senator A. E. Gary, of Edgerton,
one of the sponsors of the system
declared upon receiving news of its
adoption by the three counties:
THE persons that would be cared
for by old ace pensions, are now
poor and INDECENT and are being
being cared for through the county
or extravagently administered sys-
tenn Of outdoor poor relief or must
and will be committed to the poor
houses and become a charge against
the county at the average rate Of
$50 per week, instead Of $4.68
which would be the maximum av-
erage cost through the old age
pension law"

TEACHERS MEETING
AT MILES RECEIVES
KENTUCKIANS FAVOR

The editor Of the News is in re-
ceipt of letter from Samuel Pascoe,
president of the Miners Union at Ash
land, Kentucky, in which he expresses
his opinions on the Educational Con-
ference held at Miles City recently and
which is as follows;
II just received the issue of the
Carbon County News, containing re-
port of the eastern division of the
Montana Educational Association and
that some seven or eight hundred
teachers were in attendance. This
argues well for the future educational
development of your proud state and
speaks so much for the heads of the
departments of Montana Educational
Associations and the Agricultural
College.
| note with interest the number of
leading college professors, statesmen,
head of the State Federation of Labor,
teachers from the elementary grades
and high schools in attendance, also
his Majesty, the Honorable Governor
j. E. Erickson, of the State Of Mon
tana. The harmonious advice given
by the governor, professors and teach
ers were of wisdom and mean so much
to the colleges and schools and the
people of Montana, for the up-building
of a greater and better educational
system for the coming generation,
while the address of Stephen Ely,
president Of the Montana State Fed
Grafton of Labor to the convention of
teachers at Miles City, was MASTER
piece and timely. His point on free
dom of our educational system to inn
part knowledge in accordance with
facts unfolded by conditions of every
day life; that teachers should not
serve the interest of any special
group, but serve all the people with
out fear or favor; that we stand and
demand the fullness of Democracy in
all our educational institutions; that
the paramount duty of every citizen
is to protect and advance the interest
of our education through the public
schools and do everything that is hon
orable to assist our teachers, and that
the school teacher should not give up
his or her civil rights to express their
opinion on public matters for fear Of
displeasing any person; that Labor
will be ever watchful, always on the
alert to express their resentment
against any manifestation of reac-
tionary drive against our educational
institutions or against our American
Democracy; that the very best protec-
ton, however, will come from the pro-
fessional independence and adequate
information of our teachers them

Coal Mine located about nine Miles
from Cody have received favorable re-
ports on their product. The Native
Coal Mine is working full shifts to
supply the demand of Cody trade. We
are publishing a news article which
appeared recently in the Cody Herald.
"W. f. Taylor and J. r. McFate,
proprietors of the Native Coal Mine
when interviewed by the Herald man
last week, stated that the local coal
mine is being operated at full capac-
ity, and the product which is being
taken from the ground this year is of
far better quality than any coal
which has been mined adjacent to
Cody before.
Since the change in the management
of the mine, more than $50 feet of
new opening has been made, and the
coal is being secured from a lower
level.
The chute is kept continuously full
of we'll screened coal at all times,

sumers. Messrs. Taylor and McFate

ing the quality of their coal, and in
his letter to these gentlemen, he ex-
pressed his profound surprise at the
high quality of the product taken
from the Native Coal mine, which
compares favorably with any of the
larger mines in the state.
The analysis shows the ash content
to be 1902 per cent, volatile 42.73 per
cent and fixed carbon, ABS. 1t has
$3.50 B. 7. u. with only 10 per cent
sulphur. This analysis may mean
very little to the average coal con-
sumner, but, Mr.. Walters, in comment
ing upon the report, states that the
coal ranks very high in heat content,
and that the ash percentage is very
nominal.
