One of the delegations, and the first to see the board was from Bear River City in protest to the action of the board in designating that the students of that place go to the Box Elder High instead of the Bear River High where they have been attending since the founding of the valley school and also to protest the moving of instructor A. J. Taylor from the valley school to the Box Elder High The second delegation was from Evans who went in protest of the moving of their children from the Tremonton school to the Bear River City school. This delegation represented every fam ily and with one or two exceptions both parents were present. The other delegation which had from three to fifteen taxpayers from every town in the valley met with the board to urge upon them to provide a music instructor for the schools of the valley. Many of the taxpayers were given the opportunity to be heard with regard to the matter and after a somewhat lengthy discussion the board adjourned promising to give the matter their earnest attention. The people expect to have their propositions to be acted upon favorably. $659.35 ....Total Receipts Expenditures Basr Horn $200.00 154.99 58.00 20.26 "Lumber for stand Lights and wiring Paint, nails, etc ijaBor, painting mbling benches Labor, carpenters Freight on benches Park Benches Dravaee 18.UU - Communication About a month ago one of the Na tional Cooperative men was in our state. While here he gave the press the following information: That in case the drouth continued for 10 more days in Montana, North Dakota and Minnesota, wheat would go to one dol lar per bushel this season. After the ten days had elapsed, I wrote a friend of mine in North Eastern Montana ask ing for a report of the real conditions of wheat in his locality. He wrote me that wheat in Montana was a com plete failure, that very little was worth harvesting. He also stated that North Dakota and Minnesota are in the same condition. These three states adjoin the three wheat producing prov inces of Canada, and all are in the same weather belt, therefore all will be affected by the drouth conditions. If this condition does exist over this area it means a wheat shortage of six or eight million bushels of wheat this season. With this shortage all of the surplus wheat will be absorbed leaving us a normal condition. President Hoover did a splendid thing by eliminating the war taxes for this year. This saved Europe from bankruptcy, therefore world conditions are sure to become better. In 1896 my brother and I shipped 4,000 bushels of wheat in September, two cars at thirty nine cents, one car lf car at forty-fou- r at 41 cents, cents per bushel.

Department Of Agriculture Report On Crop Conditions In the State of Utah The Crop Reporting Board of the United States Department of Agriculture issues the following estimates of the acreage of this year's crops in Utah, with forecasts of their production. These forecasts for production in 1931 are based upon conditions as for July 1, 1931. The actual outturn will be greater or less than these figures according as conditions between now and harvest prove to be better or worse than average. The acreage and production figures for 1930 have been revised, using the recent returns from the census for 1929 as a basis." "7 The wheat crop for this year is now forecast at 4,004,000 bushels compared with the revised estimate of 6,989,r 000 bushels for 1930. Lack of sufficient moisture has reduced this year's yield prospects considerably, not only for wheat but for other crops. The production of oats is forecast at bushels compared with 1,848,-00- 0 in 1930; and barley is now estimated at 1,290,000 bushels compared with 1,720,000 a year ago. The total hay crop is forecast at 1,029,000 tons, as against 1,630",000 tons in 1930. Sugar beets are forcast at 450,000 tons compared with the revised total of 553,000 tons in 1930.

The two teams were deadlocked at 4 all until the seventh canto. Each chucker had one bad inning, otherwise the game was a neat pitching duel between Hunsaker and Bettnlge. The winners played bang up ball throughout the contest. The peppy infield executed three double plays. To name the outstanding player of the game would be a difficult task. Hunsaker worked effectively in the pinches, Evans caught beautifully, and Bill Waldron and Evan Green, a pair of rookies still in their teens, played air tight ball. ,. The local lads bagged a total of sixteen hits off the delivery of Bettridge, one of the leading chuckers of the Salt Lake Pioneer League. Next Sunday the Rough Riders will play two games, one at one o'clock with Mantua. The Mantua Rquad is playing great ball this year. They are leading their league at present, and have twice defeated the fast Honey-vill- e team by large scores. Evan Green star 17 year old base bailer will probably hurl this game for Tremonton.

During this week and last, County Agricultural Agent Stewart is attending a special Extension course at the College, Utah State Agricultural taught by H. W. Hochbaum, in charge of Extension Service, eastern states, on the subject of "Extension Methods; and one on "Farm Management", taught by C. R. Arnold, Extension Economist, Ohio State University.. These specialists are Nationally recognized authorities on these subjects, and the information given out by them is of such value that Director William Petersen has called in the entire Extension force of the school. Mr. Stewart will get a fund of .information that will be very valuable to the farmers of our country. On the 15, 16, 17, and 18 of this month the Farmers' Encampment will be held at the College, after which Mr. Stewart will return to the county. He urges as many as possible to attend the Farmers' Encampment as, he said, it gives promise of being very wonderful this year, and should give all who attend valuable information, and a real outing. Fire Breaks Out Garland An Eye Witness Gives CENTURY GOLD . Account Board Meeting MINE SHOWS (Communication) For the benefit of the many school patrons and tax payers who were un able to attend the school board meeting at Brigham City last Friday for the purpose of obtaining band music instructions in the district school will ' say Bishop Marble opened the oleo with a strong plea for band music to be taught in our district school In reply President John J. Shum-wa- y kindly informed him that some months ago the Box Elder tax committee met with them requesting they hold the school tax levy down to 74 mills. This they i (the board) prom ised. And they have been wrecking their brains making cuts where ever it was possible. He said, "We've cut van drivers wages, janitors wages, all but the superintendent of schools and the teachers,' and they would receive a good slash were it not for the fact that we had signed a contract with them in early spring, giving' them their last years wage. This being done before we realized the great depression the tax payers are now confronted with." The aforesaid statement from the school board aroused W. A. Adams to take the floor. He was alrealy on his feet ' for there was hardly standing room for the many patron tax payers assembled. None but the school board were comfortably seated. It seems to me, said Adams you school board are laboring under a wrong impression as to who we are and what we are here for. You infer that we are here asking for alms contrary to the wish of the tax committee. We wish you to know we are not alone the school patrons but we are the tax payers of this county. The tax committee are our servants. Likewise the school board should be. We are not here as beggars but to demand value received.

Jones, et. al., vs. Box Elder County, and T. L. Davis, et. al., County Com . missioners. In the fall of the year 1928, the then County Commissioners took preliminary steps to enforce collection of taxes assessed and delinquent upon what is known as the Widerborg Block, in Brigham City, for the years 1913 to 1928, inclusive. The owners, who are the plaintiffs, commenced an action in the Federal District Court of Utah, to restrain Box Elder County and the County Commissioners thereof enforcing the collection of said taxes, alleging invalidity of the tax levy and the running of the statute of limitations. The County Commissioners then in the same brought a counter-claiaction against the plaintiffs, seeking the foreclosure and sale of the property for the relinquent taxes above enumerated, then in an amount in excess of $0000.00. The Federal Dis trict Court denied the relief sought by Mr. Jones, and gave to the County and County Commissioners a decree directing the foreclosure and sale of the property as required, after a full hearing. The plaintiff then appealed to the United States Circuit Court of Appeals, and notice of the decision sua taining the lower court has just been received by the attorneys for the Coun ty. Lewis Jones, County Attorney, assisted by William E. Davis, both of Brigham City, represented the County, while Ricy H. Jones, of Salt Lake City, represented the plaintiffs, both in the trial of the case and upon the appeal. Under the decision it is expected that United States Marshall, W. V. Call, will be charged with conducting the sale of said property. ... m OTDHfTT T17W . mil? OUUlltt J. H, Marshall Back On Job After Long Illness Makes Great Report In an interview with J. H. Marshall, and General Manager of the Century Consolidated Gold Mining Co., who is now aroung again and in active charge of the mine after Vice President several weeks' serious illness, and who 5,.r. uau jmo tame I u irgm uie wonungs, stated that the big gold strike is continuing and every foot driven opens up new possibilities. ., During the pa week the general manager hat been at the mine making; examinations and reorganizing tha men at the mine for more footage and greater efficiency at less expense, to the company. Mr. Marshall had not visited the mine for 10 weeks due to his illness but now that he has nearly recovered he is back on the job again directing the work. Mr. ' Marshall states that the ore has continued in the Lizzie Fissure to the south west of tho Heim Tunnel, a distance of 135 feet, averaging from 2 to 6 feet in width between the walls. This ore is 400 feet bdlow the surface, and surface indications are that the ore will continue clear through to the surface. The ore is averaging from $8.00 to $52.00 in gold, and carries some lead and silver, making a safe average of $18 to $20 per ton which is an unusually high grade mill grade ore. Charles Goodlif fe of Brigham. City visited the mine last Sunday and went all through the workings with Mr. Marshall and it happened that the round from the night before brought a full face of hieh grade ore feet wide. The present condition at the mine are far beyond expectations and the last ore struck is one of the finest showings in the .state. During Mr. Marshall's illness he had.

Fire Destroys Home of Vern Woods This A. M. A fire, which broke out in the roof of the home of Vern Woods about 7 o'clock this morning, completely destroyed the home, leaving but the sido walls standing after the blaze was put under control. The fire was by some state road workers, who ran to the home and informed the' occupants and sent a general alarm. The Garland fire engine responded and succeeded in putting the blaze under control, with the help of many neighbors, but not until the home had been destroyed. The quick response of neighbors and friends and the quick assistance rendered after arriving on the spot made it possible to save nearly everything in the home. We are not informed as whether there was insurance carried on the property. Mr. and Mrs. Woods and family have the sympathy of the community in the loss of their beautiful home. Unusual Phenomenon Seen in Heavens Tues. Tuesday night at 9:30 a very unusual and beautiful phenomenon occured in the heavens, which was witnessed by the editor and wife and neighbor, who were out riding. Coming from the edge of a great black cloud, in the northwestern part of the sky a great ball of fire, or comet, sailed eastward across the sky with apparently very little descent toward the earth leaving a sparkling trail of fire behind it, gradually dimin ishing into a red ball and then disappeared entirely. The bible speaks of the wonders that shall be seen In the heavens in the last days. This beautiful and unusual sight could easily be classed as such. Press reports from this state and Idaho carry accounts of same. Mrs. Elizabeth Cook to Be Buried at Ogden Sun. Cat With Two Heads On Sorenson Ranch Funeral services for Mrs, Elizabeth L.
