was visiting them from Stay ton.

after he had finished his meal and
noticed the fire and Have the alarm,
but it had gained such headway that
all efforts to save it were futile.
When the alarm was sounded the
neighbors and frienda ruihed to the
a.ssistance of the Holt’s, but were
unable to do much but save the
piano and a few pieces of furniture.
All wearing apparel, except what
they had on. were consumed.
The blase spread to the woodshed
and other small buildings and this
rendered it tin possible to get water,
as the pump was enveloped in the
flames

Harry Jones, who discovered ths
fire, was the loser of a gold medal
awarded him in Salem recently for
meritorious work done in a school
contest, and this was pinned on hit

tion of the club by electing officer*,
«uch as President, vic- president
and secretary treasurer
Before the business of the meet

Krebs and Mias Maliel Zy«ael giving
two splendid piano duets, and Miss
Bernice Griffin responded to loud
encores with two late songs It wss.

and showed that Riverside has some
excellent artists, which the large
crowd appreciated.

for which the Club came mt«» being
He took up the six planks as offered
by the previously apl>»inted by-law
committee, and analyzed the ave
nues thev could operate upon
The
attention of the hearers was marked
rnd all seemed to appreciate the ex
planations. At the conclusion of his
remarks, he asked if the objects of
the club were sufficient to proceed
with the election of officers, and the
number of upllfte«! hands said yes
The election of officers was then
called for. ami there was some slow
ness in getting started with nomina
tions, but this was liecauw* the
members were hunting for the one
they felt sure would steer the club
clear of the shoah so liable to cause
«hipwreck of the organisation in its
infancy
It was suggested that i
V. McAd«»o accept the presidency,
but he showed conclusively that it
would be detrimental for him to do
so. and he in turn suggested the
name of iamnard Gilkev. This sug
gestion met with instant approval,

The election of the board of
directors of the club was deferred
until th*- next meeting, which will

Each voting
precinct is to select its own director
and It is hope«! that each precinct
will be represented at this m«-etmg

mind, and come to the Community

School District, No. 95, Now in
Best Condition in Years
and Prospering
The school m««eting Monday after
noon was not very largely attended,
because of the fact that the farmets
were busy with their crops ami it
was pretty warm anyway.
But
what wa« lacking in numbers was
made up in enthusiasm for the sue-
•ess of the school.
E. C. Shelton, chairman of the
board, presided. The call for the
meeting was read, the minutes of
the last annual ami two special
meetings am! the clerk's annual re
port were read and approve«!. The
report showed that th«* district had
reduced its indeblt-dneas something
like 92250 during the past veer,
which is a remarkable showing, and
this only leaves a little over $.1000
of outstanding warrants now un
paid. The district has no bonded
indebtedness. according to the re
port.
Don McKmght was nominated for
director to su*-cee«l Mr. Shelton,
whom* term hail expir«*d,and he was
elected unanimously.
Annie D,
Bartu was re-electeil clerk.
It was reported by the board that
the high sch«H>l would have to care
for aintut 40 more pupils the com
ing year, and that equipment would
have to l»e placed, ami they were
authorize«! to meet the require
ments
This is certainly gi»»*! news
ami means the growth of the dis
trict ami of Scio will be noticeble.
The climax of the school year was
was the lieginning of the erection
of the gymnasium, ami the school
board included it in its tangible
property, which makes the school
property worth m>w on a taxable
basis about $14,000. This does not
place the taxpayers directly respon
sible for the building c«jets, but as
th«* building is on school property
it ha«l to I m * appraised as tangible.
The gymnasium ia living built under
such circumstances that the district
is getting the benefit of an $b.ooo
building for alxiut 33,000, which
every citizen should >»• proud of
and I m * a Ixwoiter for.
