By pur suing this course, misunderstandings will be avoided, ami tbe parties most interested in tbe welfare uf tbe pupil will mutually assist each other. Schools Recommendations All teachers are required to send the Superintendent a copy of the cou'.ract for 'teaching as required by law. The Superintendent asks for the coutracts aud also for montbyl reports of ad schools, so that he may prepare complete statistics. All teachers must observe the law in regard to school property aud re quire all pupils to remain on school grounds during school hours. The apportionment of school funds will be made this week.

The company is havin ; the moot woodi-rful Biicceas i'i dispo-'ini' of the coutracts. Over htlf of th entire number of upwards of 12,000 contracts are sold, which means over one mil lion of dolltrs. and the applications 'or coutracts are comiiii; into the main office at Kansas City, at tbe rate of ri'i.OO 0 a day. The ofllcials of the company attri bute a treat deal of tbeir success in disposing of these coutricts to tbe hearty support of the pe iple of Lake view, a ho bave almost invariably spoken well cf the lauds to intending purchasers ; and espcially to Tbe Ex amiuer are they willing to accord no s nail share of tbeir snncess, which, has spared no pains ia Kivirtr out i nf or al r i n of tbe most convincing tort, all of which hi a bad its weight in intlenc ing people to think of making this favored land tbeir future home. The work in this vicinity will be in charge of Mr. K. W. Martin, of Kan sas City, who is a brother of tbe president of the company. He bad charge ot the local work in a similar i eutoi prise in Colorado, and while not ' a professional engineer has bad con- ; sideiable experience in tbe practical work of irrigation and is able to handle the matter here so as to insure a system that will make this valley one of tbe most certiu and prolactive irrigated sections in America. The people of Lakeview can surely bless tbeir lucky stars that these gentlemen bave taken matters in baud, aud they can rest asaurd that ' from tbe result of tbeir labors, there will grow up one of tbe largest aud best towns iu tbe inter-mountain region. All business people here will soon feel the eifects of tbe increase of population, aud in tbe forward processiou the Examiner intends to keep well to tbe front. of tu purchase price. It may be interesting to note here ti at of scoffers aud knockers there were a-pleuty in that section once uptn a time, as is tbe case here to a very limited extent. But tbe fellows with failb went on with tbeir work and uow, beheld ! tbe result. Aud the time is sooo coming when effort iu fruit grownig undoubtedly wil. bring the same results right here in Lake couuty. areas, except by irrigation aud dra'n age, but we may by intellgeut selec tion of crops, by scientific cultiva tion and by careful treatment of land, ; make it produce three or four times sa much aa it does "at present Aud j this is tbe diiectiou iu wbicb our i development should proceed, for we ! must. Hud room within tbe next 30 years for a doubled population in a territory already fully occupied according to our undisoerning ideas. The American farmer of the future must be a man of broad mind aud technical kuowledge He must apply to his operations the same thought ful mauagemeut. preoisiou and fore sight that characterizes tbe busiuess conduct of the manufacturer aud the merchant., should be some effort made here to secure and maintain enterprises of this sort that go toward makiug Lakeview a city. Tbe creamery over at Bonanza ia a money maker fur both the towns-people aud the farmers, and si o i an eutt-i prise would bo a Boucce of profit here as well. Every town or section In which a creamery is located is a prosperous oue, and the moutbly distribution of creamery ehecka amoung farmers aud busiuess meu makes uiouey plsu'iful. v -'I
