A Reaioder of Long Ago Drawn by a pair o', giant oxen and riding In a wagon an exact counter part of tlie "schooners’' th at used to be so numerous on these plains. Ezra Meeker, scout, plainsman, trailfinder and unique character, reached Central City Mondav evening, enroute west ward to his home in Puyallup, Wash ington. lie lias been traveling in this wagon for the past five or six years and it has traversed most of the states of the union and visited many of tlie more important cities of the United States. At Columbus last week he cssiyed the fording of the Loup river, attempting tlie feat in ord er to preserve in motion pictures one of the dangerous incidents in an over land journey. Tlie Loup was so full of water, however, and the bed so spotted with quicksand at that point that Mr. Meeker did not dare to get his oxen into it. ILe succeded how ever. in crossing in his wagon box, using it as a boat. Representatives of maving picture firm took views of him as lie crossed. One of tlie particularly interesting features of the outfit, next to Mr. Meeker himself, is a team of oxen. They are well bred shorthorus and the two weighl.l.jo. a ton each. They are capable of traveling many miles a day bat their driver prefers to travel very leisurely and does not crowd them. The wagon is one of the old fashioned southern affairs, so many of which traversed tlie plains before the 60's. It is not-the same type as the wagons used in later years and with which most of the pioneers were familiar. Fashioned with slop ing ends, it can be used as a boat, if necessity demands--and necessity used to demand it Dretty often in the days when there were no bridges. Mr. Meeker is eighty years old, but travels alone, having for a companion only a dog. He has a good home in Puyallup but has been traveling in Uiis manner for several years in ord er to preserve some of the old land marks and to show the present gener ation wliat the pioneer days were like. He is particularly concerned with the location and marking of the Oregon Trail and has succeeded in arousing much interest in that project. He says that it is by no means properly marked yet and that over 700 granite markers will be required to locate the 1 trail at points where it is crossed by the public roads. He was much inter ested while on his visit here in ’’old lone tree“ and paid a visit to tlie monument —Central City Nonpareil Along R. R. No. 2.

A rain covered Route 2 last Sunday and seemed to be heaviest south of the Hawk schoolhouse. for about a mile in width. The southeast part of the route got 'the lightest, and more is needed all over the route. This will help rye. Winter wheat is all headed out.

Miss Charlotte Bushong closed one of the most successful terms of school in this district; and was thought so much of for the way in which she handled the school that she was given another term. One tiling she had was prizes and which caused each scholar to put forth every effort pos sible to capture one or more. Below are the names of tliose who were suc cessful and what they were success ful in. The prize in sewing was a silver thimble won by Ella Bausch, age 11 years; Phillip Neilson got the prize for the best work in manual training, a knife: Christina Krichow won three prizes, which were for the best biscuits and fake, the prize be ing a granit mixing bowl and spoon to match.

In Desperate Mood. “That prim a uunna has a voice like an angel's." “You think so.” respond ed the impresario, resentfully. “Well, I don't know how an angel talks when things don't go to suit her. But if I thought they all sounded like this prima donna. I’d think twice before wanting to go to heaven.” COUNTY SCHOOL NOTES From the Superintend ent’s office To the School Patrons: Are you planning on the annual school district election which occurs on the twenty-fourth of this month? On that day a meeting of the electo-s of the districts is called by law. The purpose of this meeting is that the electors may instruct the school officers on “matters pertaining to the arrangement of the schools for the coming year.” The length of the school term, the amount of tax levy, fixtures, and outbuildings, the removal of school house, the sale of an old building and the erection of a new one. regular election of necessary officers, are points especially men tioned. Do not stay at home and leave the affairs of the schools entirely in the hands of the school boards. Since women have a voice and a vote in all school matters, there is no reason why this meeting could not be made a general rally for the good of the school. It has been said that “The common schools may become the most effect ive and benignant of all forces of civilizaiton.” When it has reached that high stage, will not its surround ing be helpful and wholesome? Will they not be shining clean, in perfect repair, and beautiful in simple ways? This is not so high an ideal but that it could be reached this year. If parents can go to the school meeting twenty minutes early, they can be prepared to talk on any of the following points. Of course not all of them need consideration in any one school. Has the school house a whole and tight storm door? Is the floor tightagainst cold and sufficiently smooth to permit the dust to be swept out? Is there close foundation or is the house set up on loose rocks? Is there a good stove? Are the win dows tight in the casings and are they whole? Are the windows and wood work clean? )Isithere a mud scraper at the door? -Is there any door step or any step at the entrance? Do the grounds need grading or filling in, especially near the doors? Are there good blackboards, and are they placed low so that a 6-year-old child can stand on the floor and work at them? Are there maps and globe so that a beginner can get a fair start in geog raphy? Are there seats of assorted sizes and at short distances apart so that a child can sit with his feet on the floor, spine erect and work easily at the desk? Are there whole cur tains or must he work with light shining into his eyes? Are the cur tains hung from the bottom so they roll upward, shutting off the lower light and diffusing the light from above? This is a simple remedy for the serious cross-lighting in all ocr old school houses. Are there a bright water pail and dipper? Are there looking glass and wash basin in the building? Watch the boys and girls tile past the glass to straighten out the towzles and you will observe with pleasure an added self respect and dignity. Is there need of new out buildings? The law requires that the outbuildings be located on those poitions of the site the farthest from the main entrance to the school house, and as far from each other as the surrounding condition will permit and that they be kept in wholesome condition and good repair. Are there trees or neat coal house or hitching rod on the premises? When these conditions are all favor able there is provided for the school a place that looks cared-for and in viting and a place that avoids the most common dangers to the health 3f the children. Qan your school term be at least one month longer next year, if it is not already nine months? Was there a good teacher in charge of the school last year and lan her services be secured again? Better keep your child at home than rave him under a poor teacher. Must "here be a teacher of finer personality >r higher grade of preparation? Shall ler work be encouraged by increased rages or by any attention to her lo iation and comfort? Are there ehools of only two or three pupils in »he township? Could they be closed ipd a union school be started in the nterest of better grading and lower expenses? To sum up—should the school board eceive instruction to plan a higher ax levy for their important work? Should time and money be spent in a areful preparation of the school "remises? A discussion of these mints would be valuable whether an igreement is reached in every case »r not. We can afford to economise >y spending money on the schools, if ve can be sure that they awaken bought, increase pleasure, produce iroperty or raise moral standards. A special teachers' examination will w given on Friday and Saturday, lune 21 and 22, 1912, in all county ertificate subjects.
