this meeting ia to asceriain the
sentiment of the voters in the
district upon the question of
-
making soilie improvement in
tue school minding and to
learn whether these improve
meats, if made, are to consist
bf an entirely new building, 01
merely additions to the. old
building. When the Heutimmt
v of the district is learned, the
'proper steps will be taken to
carry out those wishesi
There appears td be a differ
- ence of opinion regarding the
advisability of building a new
schooihouse at this time, those
opposing it advocating a bond
issue large enough only to
make some additions to the
present bnilding. I'his would
host only a few hundred dol
lars, while a new building
would entail the expenditure ot
about $3000. All parties agr.ee
Upon the necessity for more
room for the school. i
With all due regard for the
opinion of . others upon
question, we believe it would be
jfalse economjr to attempt to
.make additions to the present
building, with any expectation
,of providing comfortable quar
ters for our growing school.
.Such an arrangement would, ai
the best, be but a temporary
. makeshift, and as a new schnol
hous will unquestionably lmv
to be built within the next j'ear
.or so at tue iartuest, this ex
penditure would be wasted.
. An additional bond issue of
B3000 would necessitate the
first ear a levy of not to ex
,ceed two mills to keep the in
,terest paid, and it would grow
iess each year, as the property
valuation iq the Madras district
is growing rapidly. For $3000
the district could build a coui
01 table and modern school
house, and one that would
'greatly increase the efficiency
.of our school, and it is to be

A number of the business

adorning the back of their let

routes of the various railroads

map is ji good one of this sec

unqueatioimbl' strong strategic
position of Madras with refer
ence to any future railroad con
slruction, at the very gateway
to Central Oregon. The slogan,
"every citizen a booster," seems
to have taken hold of the town.
The presence in this section
of the ricfltt of way agent of th

mi abundance of faith on th
