The matter of taking off the
arc lamps outside of Main street
to cut down the expenses was
discussed at some length. The
proposition was brought forth
that all the arcs should be kept
burning until twelve o'clock on
ly, provided the lights cpuld be
secured at half of the present
cost Nothing official has been
done however. The matter of
cutting down the city's ex
penses was further discussed in
the way of reducing the salary
of Jay Barr, who is manager of
the city water works.- The pres
ent salary is $100 per month with
house furnished, as well as the
use of the orchard and ground
on the city farm. It seems that
Beveral applications ioi the posi
tion have already been made.
Nothing official was done.
The matter of equalizing the
water rent was also brought be
fore the council. Nothing has
yet been done but an effort is to
be made to fix the system in
some way to charge the users for
the exact amount that they use.
A special meeting vas called
for Monday evening of this week
to come to some agreement on
these matters but the meeting
did not materialize. The busi
ness will now probably be laid
over until the next regular meeting.;-'

FOB IKE SCHOOL CHILDREN
Mid-year examinations being
overall are again down to hard
work. , 1 '
Pupils in the lower grades re
ceive certificates of perfect at
tendance, when the pupil receives
one of these certificates each
month for three ' successive
monts, then and not until then is
the pupil entitled to a larger cer
tificate. Miss Hershner is taking the
state examination this week for
a life paper. ,
Lilfie Amend and Bessie
Searcy gave some very 'interest
ing, current events at our last
assembly.
At the end of this school year
there will 'be no pupils promoted
unless they have completed the
required work,, and that' will be
impossible if they are not in reg
ular attendance or if they quit
school two or three months be
fore the final examinations. The
pupil who wishes to go ahead
with his or her class must plan
accordingly..
Several pupils are still ' out of
'school on the account of sickness.
The spring terms of school are
convening in many of the country
districts and children who have
been attending here during the
winter are returning to their
homes and taking advantage of!
the opportunity .of attending
home schools.

Wheeler Counties at
Work for Bettter Dis
play Elect Officers.
At-the anniversary meeting of
the May ville Grange held at
Mayville last month, the delega
tions from the granges of Gil
liam and Wheeler counties met
and organized that the work of
"A Greater 1908 Grange Fair"
to be held at Mayville in the
Pall, might be begun at once and
made a great success.
After the discusion of the
merits of the ways of meeting the
necessary expenses, it was de
cided to solicit subscriptions as
last year and ",have all entries
and admissions free, also that
the premium lists be printed.
The secretary was empowered
to get any necessary assistance
during time of Fair.
The election of officers resulted
as follows: C. J. Quinn, pres
ident: Mrs. E. G. Palmer, ; vice
president, for I go Grange; Otis
Kizer, vice-president, for Butte
Creek Grange; Geo. B, Dukek,
secretary-treasurer; Mrs. E. G.
Palmer, W. G. Keys and Lily
M. Kizer, chairmen for ladies
committies, one for each grange.
It was also decided that' each
Grange appoint a solicitor for
its own locality?
DEEDS OVER MI'iKS ACRE
It is expected that ground will
be broken as soon as the weather
permits for the erection of the
new St Thomas Aquinas School
building. ,
Definite plans for the building
have not as yet been completed,
as changes had to be made in
the specifications of the "plans
turned in some days ago, which
would have made a handsome
brick costing $40,000.00. The
changes, however, will call for
a large, substantial brick, cost
ing about half the former sum.
The deeding over of an acre of
land to the school by Mrs. Lizzie
Cottin a few days ago, which
fronts the street and joins the
acre given by Mayor Dunn, will
make a most beautiful -building
site for the new building.
Condon will have reason to be
proud of the new school and the
advantages to be offered.
Mrs. H. ?P. Strickler enter
tained a few friends in her rooms
in the Condon National Bank
building on last Saturday after
