June 17th, is the date of the annual school meeting aud there should be a large attendance. One director to serve for a period of three years and clerk to serve for one yar are to be elected, besides other im Durtsnt business to be looked after. We have heard no one mentioned for the office of director, neither have we learned of anyone asking for the place, but the retiring director. Mr. M. D. Clark, has made sood and we should like to see him re-elected. He is greatly interested in making the Hepp ner s hool econd to none in the state and is a prorgeesive along this line. Not knowing anything to the contrary, we presume that Mr. Clark will ac cept another term, and we hope that he will. Interest is crowing in favor of a new school house for this district. In fact there is little or no ooposition to it. The argument is all in favor of a new and up-to-date structure that will meet the requirements of a grow ing co nmonity. In fact, when von come to think of it, what ia there that stands ahead of the publio school svsteni of our country? It is surely the creat American institution, and it calls for our liberal support. No step our people can take will do more for the community than the building ot a modern structure in which to educate our children, and this is going to come. All our people need to under stand is that it is needed and the requirement will be met. THOUGHT HE WAS SURELY IN PARADISE Impressions of a Recent Vis itor to the Hardman I Country. Having business that reauired him to make a trip to the Hardman sec tion on bst Thursday, a sood friend of ours, who, by the way, has been a resident of this county for the past twenty years and more, daring which time he has resided in various parts of the courtv and now thinks he is located in the midst of the very gar den soot of the earth on a splendid rancli bordering the banks of Willow creek, was for the first time permitted to set his foot upon that portion of the conntry surroundirg our neighbor ing little city. And likewise the den izers of that burg were for the first time premitted togaze nDn oneaf those cheerful ar.d optimi,tio fellows that have come to us from the north end of the little isle where now sits and rules the stood King George. Our friend was greatly impressed with what he eaw aid rculd onlv give expression ti his fieling ty say ing that the people ud that way we're certainly livina in a section fiitinglv described in Milton's" Paradise Lost;" and pchaps the only rrason they did not recognise this blissful exiatancu was because thev did not get no early eneufh in the rnrrniug. Our friend is a very r a ly rise'. But such luxuriant growth of grain and grass; mch fine deep soil and delicious water. It is just a little ahead of anything our friend had ever came in contact with. He was en thusiastic, and does not hesitate to say that the pfoole of Hatdnmn do not fullv realize what a spleiidid country they live in. Ihey will some day That country this year is one vast v. heat field. Most of the town is engaged In farming and they sre now very bnsy. Our friend noted that Liu-? grass is growing very abundent- ly in all the yatds about town and he tikes the liberty to surest that the use of lawn mowers would assist much in adding to the beauty of the sur rounuiinsjs. Bunch fcfa'g on the ranges anil in many cf the pastures is thick and tall and could well be cut and put up for hay. Samples of grass and grain exhibited by our friend give ore the impression that t lie Hardman taction is greatly fvcred this sea-on and very abundant har vests will be garnered by the good people up that way.
