BURNS. HARNEY COUNTY,OREGON, VOL. XVII. NO recently returned from an eastern trip; Archie Bowman, the superintendent for the Utah Con struction company, a corps of sur veyors and ten or fifteen laborers, says the Sumpter Reporter. They were going to the front. “We are going to commence track laying in a very short while," said Mr. Eccles to a Reporter man. “The material has been here since last fall. I bought it last summer. Under ordinary circumstances we should be into Tipton within from thirty to sixty days. That is a matter about which you should see Mr. West. He has the details in hand, and between he and Mr. Bowman they will have to be settl ed. “How about the extention be yond Tipton—When doesit go on?" was the next interrogatian. “Mr. West is taking his crew out there to go with the detailed sur veyors. When he has those in band and can tell me what has got to be overcome.in the way of cuts, grades, fills and bridges, with a careful estimate of the cost and the productiveness in point of traffic from the territory reached, then I’ll determine further procedure. It costs money to build railroads, and sometimes an element of risk is at tached. We are not giving out any hot-air stories about future work or our intent. Our line will go where business will justify the investment. Mr. Eccles returned to Baker City in the afternoon, Mr. West continuing on to the scene of pres ent operations. *• NEW SCHOOL BUILDING but FINANCIAL CONDITION 0^ DISTRICT WILL NOT JUSTIFY IT. PrcsMt Mldlog to be Repaired And Made Sale at Minimum Expenae--Aoatber Teacher Io be Employed.| At the regular annual meeting of the patrons and taxpayers of this school district last Monday afternoon, it seemed to be the un animous decision of those present that the present building should be repaired at the least possible ex pense so as to be perfectly safe for the coming school year and also to remove partitions on the first floor to make another room should it be come necessary. All felt the necessity of a r.ew and more substantial structure, but taking into consideration the financial condition of the district the taxpayers felt it would not be right to burden the district with a indebtedness just at this time It was therefore decided to repair the present building at a minimum cost with hopes that by next year we will be able to erect a larger building The plan which has bawa accepted to straighten the building is to place large timberu along the eaBt side at the conjunc tion of the first and second story aid run large steel bars from there to the foundation on the weBt side and fasten with a “contrivance” in the center to tighten them. These rods will be run at each end and through the partitions—four in nouber— and will in no wise inter« fere with the floor space, It is also planned to move the doors and Stairways to the east side and an oqtside stairway and landing will MB to the center room on the sec- floor. The foundation will id- ■B&e straightened up and braced, ■Miking the building absolutely ■afe in everv respect« C A. Sweek was re-elected UCpbctor for three years and W. E. ffoeton re-elected clerk. A special tax of 15 mills was levied for gen eral school purposes. Thia looks big to taxpayers but is necessary, acoording to the figures of the offi cers who bad made the calculations, to make such repairs as were nec essary and pay the salaries of teachers and running expenses of a nine months school, especially as it is the general opinion that a sixth teacher will have to be employed and this levy is calculated to cover that expense should it become nec- essarv. The Times-Herald finds that con tracts have been signed by onlv three of the five teachers to be em ployed in the public schools for the coming year and one of these—Miss Ragon—has asked to be released, leaving only Principal Finn and Miss Ella Thompson. In asking for release from her contract Miss Ragon suggested and recommended Mies Clayte Burrow for the posi tion and The Times-Herald is in formed the place has been tendered that young lady. She is now on her way to Texas and it is not known just when the communica tion will reach her. Miss Burrow had also signed a contract with the Baker City school board and would have to be released if she desired to aoeept the position here. There ars still two places to fill in the public school. The matter of a room for the con ntv high school was discussed. Wh. le the district board has noth- ing to do with this matter, it was th e desire of the patrons to assist ■he county board in every way pos sible C. A. Sweek, county attor ney. said he thought the board Brould try to rent a room in the ■college building if possible How- lever. if this cannot be accomplished |at ih>- July term, arrangements might be mane for a room in the I public school building.
