KEELER BROS, WANT
GONTRACTFULFILLED
At the council meeting Monday
evening a new feature developed In
the proposal to well the city's water
bonds when a .communication wan
received from Keeler liros. stating
that they would hold the council to
Its contract agreeing to well the
bonds to them. The rate of Interest
stipulated In the Keeler contract Is
six per cent. In case the city has a
reliable bid at a lower figure It will
probably have to make some settle
ment with Keeler Iiros. or take their
offer at a financial loss to the city.
The refusal to do so It Is expected
will result lu a damage suit.
The contract of W. G. Aldred & Co.
for the improvement of State street
having leen declared completed the

asked for in regard to the Columbia

were received for the work but It
was decided to postpone accepting
any of them until later.
A lively discussion ensued over the
application of W. . Aldred for the
use of the city roller to be used in
making a tennis court at the hl;h
school. After considerable wrangling
the school was given the use of the
roller for a day by paying the cost of
Its opera! inn.

FORJIGjl SCHOOL
A special meeting for school dis
trict No. 3 has been en lied for Friday,
March .'(1st, at 3:::i p. m., to be held
at the l'ark street school building,
for the purpose of oting on the ques
tion of the purchase of the block
south of the high m IiooI tor school
purposes.
The schools of Hood Klver have
U-en making commendable progress
and improvement In the last few
years, anil It Is claimed one of the
big inducements we have to offer
those contemplating a resideuce here
Is the fact that we have excellent
schools. It is stHteil, however, that
still further demands will soon be
made upon the school facilities and
that we should le getting ready to
meet them.
One of the most pressing needs at
the present time Is said to be a place
for the sports and athletic enter
prises of the students. It Is the con
viction of the school poard that
these should be under the direction
and control of the school authorities
and that suitable facilities should be
provided where this can be had. aud
the students not be compelled to go
to questionable places.
There Is also a call for an elemen
tary course In horticulture, many of
the students being desirous of getting
at least a start In this line of study
In the local schools. The courses of
study generally pursued In the high
schools and colleges have leen criti
cised as tending to unfit boys and
girls for practical pursuits In life, of
which there is vast need.
Courses In domestic science, man
ual training, elementary agriculture,
and horticulture are designed to give
the boys anil girls a start In the right
direction and are becoming more and
more popular. Hood Klver, It Is
urged, must fall In line and get
ready for It. The first thing for us
to do Is to acquire the ground we are
going to need while It Is available,
and the block referred to Is lielleved
to be an Ideal spot for the purpose
Intended. Foresight should le exer
cised In school matters as well as In
city affairs, and suitable provision
made for the welfare of a future
school population.
