School Notes.
(Contributed by one of the pupils. )
School closed Friday, April 24.
Beulah Brainard entertained the sixth
and seventh grades one evening last
week.
Edna Holcomb, who has ranked high
in her class all year, left Thursday for
her future home, Red Bluff, California,
She was one of our very best pupils.
The teachers and pupils of the lower
grades rendered a very enjoyable pro
gram in their respective rooms Friday
afternoon.
The teachers and pupils all felt re
lieved when the examinations were
over.
Jean Baker ranked first in the eighth
for the term, Mary Bakpr first in the
seventh, and Maggie Costley first in the
sixth. There has been quite a bit of
rivalry for first place in these three
grades, and these girls may well feel
proud of their success as they are among
the youngest in their classes. Jean
Baker also made the highest grades that
were made in the county on the state
examination, her average being A4 8-9.
Those successful in the state examina
tion in order of rank are Jean Baker,
William Thornton, Clarence Whitting
ton, Genevieve Hillman, Leonard Lewis,
Clara Lewis and Robert J. Hillman.
Tlie following was composed by Grace
Williams:
The Examination.
Tlie eighth grade was to take examination :
Hut oh! How timid all the pupllswere.
Hut as this would be followed by vacation,
Each one resolved to undertake and bear.
At first we thought our victory was sure,
Itut Mr. Iilevins told us to beware
That we into a trap they would try to lure,
For puzzling questions would be there.
At lirst his counsel we did not try to heed,
But merely laughed and made tlie matter
light
h'nti! some list of questions ho did read,
When, to our soarow, tve found that he was
right.
Our lirst day's tedious work at last, was done
And we retired home both sad and weary.
We tried to think our victory was won
But still our road to victory seemed dreary.
At last our arduous iask was finished
And tlie unhappy time was drawing near.
But our courage was so much diminished
As we waited our grades to hour.
But our fears at last wore cast away
When our teacher's voice we heard once
more
sajing, "The victory you have won today
All your doubts and fretting skouldbe o'er.''
At first our hearts were tilled with doubt and
dread,
That was before the hard examination.
But now that we've come out far ahead
We're going to enjoy our long vacation.
To Kill Grasshoppers.
The following report is given out by
C. B. Simpson, of the Agricultural de
partment :
'Plowing the area in the fall where
eggs are laid will cause many of the
exposed eggs to be killed during the
winter or the young locusts will be un
able to get to the surface of the ground
when they hatch in' the spring. At best
this measure is incomplete. After hatch
ing they may be trapped by digging
trenches arou ad the colony and killed
after they have fallen in.
"Spraying with oil and burning ha«
been found very efficient. Hopper
dozers, or long shallow pans, containing
water upon which is a film of kerosene,
can be drawn over the ground and tiio
young locusts jump in and are killed. |
"Poisoned bran has often been used.;
against these insects but recently Dr.
Fletcher of the Ontario department of
agriculture, Canada, reports that fresh
horse droppings can be substituted for
the bran. The following formula is
given: One pound of Paris Green and
two pounds of salt mixed with about CO
pounds of horse droppings. The mix
ture is scattered broadcast by means of
a paddle or trowel and may be used
when the locusts are young, or it is
found that fields can be protected by
scattering it around the edges of the
field. Excellent results have been ob
tained by the use of this mixture in
Manitoba.
W'hen the insects have obtained
[ wings all measures, but this poisoned.
bait, are of no avail and nothing can be
done to destroy them' until the follow
ing fall."

Fremont County Oil,
Gas & Coal Conipanj'
About Ready to
Operate in
Basin.
Arrangements are now about com
pleted to liegiu prospecting for oil and
coal in the Teton Basin district. The
machinery and piping arrived in St. An
thony sonie time ago and work will be
commenced on the 15th of May.
The president of the company, Mr.
W. E. McDonald, arrived in the city
Monday from Florence, Colorado, and
reports everything ready to begin oper
ations.
Says Mr. McDonald: "We are pre
pared to bore 1800 feet and further if
necessary, and we don't propose to give
up until we have struck coal and oil
too. I am satisfied," he continued,
"that the Teton Basin contains oil and
good coal, and if we fail to sell enough
stock to complete the drilling, I have
plenty of Colorado backing, und will
put the hole down myself. There is
only one thing holding ns back at pres
ent, and that is the sale of a little more
stock, but this will not detain the work
later than the 15th." While east, Mr.
McDonald found plenty of capital ready
to assist in the discovery of oil here,
but declined any assistance from east
ern people until he lias given the resi
dents of this county an opportunitv to
go into the deal first. The Fremont
County Oil, Gas & Coal Co. is composed
entirely of local enterprising men.

ONE PAINTER'S HAPPY LIFE.
Mind of William Bfcii'c Filled With
Lofty Thoughts'.
William Blake, the pitet and paint
er, whose delicate and ngystfieal work,
both in words and on canvas, was
quite unlike that of any o'.ier man,
had a singularly happy li'e. It was
full of discouragement', and «re utly
cramped by poverty, but, of 'this ho
seemed to take no aceou it. Has mind
was always filled with lefty aial beau
tiful thoughts, and this yoi'.d seemed
to him but the entrance to a nobler
state of existence.
One day, when ho was on old man, a
little girl was brought to him. He
looked at her tenderly, stroked her
long curls, and said:
"My child, may God make rihis world
as beautiful to you as it las been to
me."
He had not been well for a long
time before his death. When his old
friend, the artist Flaxman, diet. Blake
said :
"I thought I should go first, t can
not think of death as more than going
out of one room into another."
A little mre than a year after that
he died. On the day of his death ho
composed and uttered songs in praise
of God, so sweet that his wife, as she
stood by, was enraptured by them.
"My beloved," he said to her, "they
are not mine. No, they are not
mine!"

But the editor of the magazine did not
much like the idea of wing his two
prizes to the members of one family.
He was afraid it would, be said that,
the winners were relatives or inti
mate friends of him. Go ae wrote to
Louise and told her that . .'s was the
best story in the under 12 years' group,
but, nevertheless, he would not give
a prize to her, because if be did it
would make talk and he would be ac
cused of partiality. Frank get his
prize, but someone else got the little
gij-t's. Miss Louise Stockton, who
lives in West Philadelphi . often tell
this story, which taught her, sh rays,

Cost of War.
□ At last there is a concise and ex
act balance sheet showing the cost of
the Boer wav. The present liabilities of
the United Kingdom are £800,000,000;
before the war they were .(1015,000,000;
difference, tracable to cost of that war,
£105,000,000, or, nearly *825,000,000.
A fearful cost, surely, for a war of
minor consequence, and a figure from
which it may be easily reckoned that a
war of the first magnitude would speed
ily exhaust the resources of tlie richest
of nations. No wonder all the greatest
nations make a specialty of their efforts
for jjeaee. War would bankrupt the
liest of them. Salt Lake Tribune.
Independence.
Independence, April 21. The weather
has been fine here the last few days.
The farmers are busy preparing their
ground to plant their crops.
Arbor Day was celebrated at Inde
pendence Monday, April 20, for tbo
first time in many years. The enter
tainuient started at 12 o'clock. A short
program was given, after which picnic
was served and from then until 5 o'clock
dancing was indulged in by tlie ebil
dren, who took great, interest in learn
ing to dance. No trees were planted as
our school house is nearly surrounded
by willow brush which will have to be
taken out before any trees can be
planted.
A large part of the lumber in on the
school ground for the new school house,
which will probably be erected this
summer.

tootle of our young men who lias been

Tables loaded with eatables both in and
out of neason, were the grand feature of
the eve, ling. Twenty-four young ladies
were ke >1 busy for one hour attending
to the w. uits of one of the most fashion
able partiV® that ever occurred in our
beautiful village. After the tables were
cleared a iviiy, there was rendered one
of tlie boat programs that was ever
gotten up iu so short a time and ren
dared in such a manner that it would
have given credit to a much larger vil
lage. Trie program consisted of vocal ,
and instrumental music, speeches and j
recitation s, which lasted until about j
10:110 o'clock. The people then adjourned
