Redeems Bond Issue
The people of Morgan, organ
ized as School District No. 6, are
to be congratulated on the cancell
ation of their bonded indebted
ness. The payment of this bond
took place September 1st; the
amount of which was $1500.00.
Twenty years ago this loan was
made by the State Land Board
and after paving $1800.00 interest
the decision was made two years
ago by the school board and rack
ed up by the electors to bring the
matter to a close. Within that
short period sinking funds were
levied in sufficient amounts lo pay
off the entire indebtedness. Mor
gan's experience has been much
the same as thousands of other
communities and even of large
cities. Attempts are made to pass
debts of this kind to future gen
erations but chickens always
come home to roost. When debts
of this kind become necessary it
would seem that a sane policy
would be to create sinking funds
at once to pay it off with reason
able dispatch. We wail about the
greed of Wall Street and bloated
bondholders and then like simple
tons needlessly proceed to pour
rivers of wealth into their treas
uries. Contributed.

Marked advances and priee
revival in sawmill products is one
feature of the general betterment
I in American traie.
The advantage for the time
being is now with the mil.s and
will remain there unless recent
demands at better prices bring
too many producers into action.
California, usually our largest
producer of fir and pine, but for
purely local reasons a slow buyer
so far this year, is now back
with a healthy desire for both
rail and cargo shipments..
Prices much weakened during
the spring and summer, are
gradually climbing as California
wholesalers find themselves in
competition with more willing
Atlantic coast buyers. The Man
