As was advertised for some time
past, the Valley county teachers'
examination was held at the school
building in Culbertson by Prof. J.
W. Dale last Friday and Satur
d:,y. There were ig applicants,
all but two of whom were ladies.
They were an intelligent looking,
well dressed set of teachers. Sev
en years ago there were only eight
teachers in the county. And as
this number examined at Culbert
son is only one contingent, there
being another set examined at
Glasgow on the same days, and all
of those examined at both places
being only about one-third of the
teachers in Valley county now, it
will be seen that our county has
been growing along educational as
well as other lines.
We are informed by teachers
from North Dakotaswho wrote at
this examination, that the exami
nations in Montana, especially
along the line of mathematics, are
more difficult than they are in that
state for the same grades of certi
ficates.
Later-This must have been an
unusually difficult examination, as
we learn from one of the examin
ers that almost half of the teachers
examined failed to get any certifi
cates at all, and of those who pass
ed a verv large portion received
third grade certificates. Some uni
versity graduates and teachers
holding first grade certifhcates in
other states flailed to make third
grades at this examination. One
applicant, a university graduate,
wrote for a professional certificate
and was successful, but with this
exception it appears that Berkley
Walker, who is now working in
the Searchlight office as a printer,
received the highest markings, he
being the only one of the 42 ap
plieants who was granted a firal
grade certificate. Mr. Walker has
had charge of the Buford, N. D.,
school for the past two years.
HOUSE BURNED

House and Furniture to
A. P. K. Dien
A. P. K. Dien, a farmer of Dane
Valley, lost his house and furni
ture by fire on Wednesday even
ing. The comfortable four-room
cottage was totally consumed and
a sewing machine, a folding
bed and a few articles of wearing
apparel are all of the household ef
fects that were saved.
It appears that the gasoline can
had sprung a leak and the con
tents, about a gallon of gasoline.,
had been emptied into a jar, which
was covered and set carefully away
in the cupboard. Mr. Dien's son
Elmer built a fire to get supper
while the rest of the family were
milking the cows. After building
tue fire, he filled the tea kettle
from the jar containing the gaso
line, mistaking it for water. The
boy smelled the gasoline almost at
once and started to remove the tes
kettle hrom the stove, when it eox
ploded in his hands. His face and
clothing were pretty badly burned,
but not seriously.

CEMENT WALKS
Reslautise Passed by City Coe*.
dl to aeve Cement Walks on
East Side of Bremdway
The city council met Wednes
day night and passed the resolu
tion creating Special Improve
ment District No, 1, which em
braces the building of cement side
walks to feet wide for three blocks
on the east side of Broadway. It
includes ccment cross walks at the
crossings.
This sidewalk we understand
will he built in the near future.
The property owners who so de
sire can build their own sidewalks,
but those who do not do so will
have them built for them by the
city, and the cost will be levied as
a tax or lien against the property
adjoining, and will be collected as
taxessin the fall of 911t.
The notice to property owners
affected by the resolution to ap
pear and protest if they so desired,
was published in the Republican
last week. As no one appeared to
protest the council of course con
sidered that the property owners
affected were unanimous in desir.
ing the improvement and passed
the resolution accordingly.
Cement sidewalks ten feet wide
from the depot north for three
blocks will make the east side of
Broadway the nicest stretch of
walk in town and will add more
than the cost of same to the value
of the property, and the Search
light for one will cheerfully pay
price.
Reward
$5.oo reward will be paid for the raters
of my grey pony branded 4 on left hip.
