T MAY be presumptuous to compare any story
with the immortal " 1 reasure Island, but
there is a real basis for it here, for. the narra
tive does deal with treasure, pirates and a Pacific
island in an uncommonly delightful way.
In thrills, it must yield to its great predecessor;
in humor, it is at least a good second; in variety
and up-to-dateness, it has the advantage.
It is a real treasure hunt with the unique quality,
giving rise to delicious humor, that the hunters
are led by women. It is a genuine treat.

BONDS CARRY
Election last Saturday as per ad
vertisement on the school bond ques
tion, carried exactly three to one in
tho very light vote polled. Tho nf
firmatlvo was 132 and negative 14.
This, It' will be seen, gives tho many
voters who stayed away very Httlo
complaint to nlakc, no matter what
becomes of the bonds. Tho bonds must
sell at par. That Is tho law regarding
school bonds. Not much should be paid
In commissions for marketing the
bonds, and tho people should have the
full benefit of tho $GO,000 for which
tho bonds call. Too often public mon
ey Is spent In a careless manner by
public servants, but tho present school
board Is keen to take the floating in
debtedness and It Is safe to believe
that in this matter of tho bonds thoy
will proceed cautiously and con
servatively. Below wo repeat what was said
last week ofvtho saving to be made to
tho district In tho matter of interest:
Every teacher's warant Issued fo,
$100 costs the district seventeen per
cent, ten pe cent discount to tho pur
chaser which must bo mado up to the
teacher, and seven por cent to the
purchaser which is the regular rate oi
interest tho warrant draws. Other
school warrants for tho buildings and
other expenses are - likewise costing
tho same lnterost.
Each warrant actually costs 17 per
cent .interest. The bonds call for six
nor cent Interest. It will therefore be
a saving to tho school district of
oloven per cent to take up the floatlu:?
debt of school warrants by tho bond
ed debt. Sidney Telegraph.
