I. At the session of the Board of
Education it was decided to call a

evening next week and lay before

dations. It will then and there
" be left with the citizens as to
whether bonds shall be voted and
ia new building erected. The date
u of the mass meeting will be an
: nounced later, and we believe it the
duty of every school patron and
tax payer to be present. 'It is
understood that a petition for call
;4r ing-a special election to vote bonds
it will be in readiness to receive the
: signatures of those who attend the
meeting, it the new building is
"idesired. We are glad that arrange-
;ments have thus been made to get
-the matter properly before the
people.

The stockholders of the Gaslin
ditch have held a meeting or two
lately and are making arrange
ments for the completion of this

pleted without the issuance and
sale of the bonds, Considerable
work has been done on the. ditch,
and if all those interested would
pitch into the work in earnest next
spring the grading could be finished
in sliort order.

Two ministers of the Latter
Day Saints church have been in
town for several days attempting
to secure a church in which to
preach. In this, however, they have
been unsuccessful, as the trustees
of the several churches refuse to
rent the buildings. The inability
to secure a church in which to
preach has made the Saints some
what bitter against the other de
nominations, and one of them al
lowed his wrath to slightly effer
vesce in this office yesterday. It is
likely these ministers can secure
Keith's hall in which to preach if
they care to pay a reasonable rent.
