Most of these were old bills, that is
bills originating before the inauguration
of the present board. In the matter of
$200 formerly allowed George Vautier
for repairs on the schoolhouse, to which
the present school board objected, an
understanding was arrived at whereby
$20 is to be deducted from the claim for
the past scholastic year, $40 for the en
suing year, and, in case the renting of
the building is continued by future
boards, $60 for the next year and the
balance of the $200 for the next, thus re
imbursing the school fund for repairs
the present board considers were incum
bent upon the owner of the building.

HOOSIER WORK STOPPED
—
j Hydraulic Concern Shut Down Last
Week for Good.
Having: bid in the property of the Rampart
| City Gold Mines Company, recently sold for
| debt, M. E. Koonce and associates are now
j in possession of the hydraulic plant formerly
! operated on Hoosier creek, Rampart dis
j trict. Mr. Koonce has the management of
; the reorganized company as he had before,
. and it is said all back debts have been set
tled, or will he right away.
The plant closed down last week, it is said
because they had run out of the pay.
I It whs originally intended for operation on
| Big Minook creek; but, after its installation
i was practically completed there and while
Manager Koonce was away for the w inter, a
| certain Mr. Robins, temporarily in charge,
i coalesced with others and removed the ap
pliances to Hoosier, where they have since
been employed. The removal took place
several years ago. On account of shortage
. of water and other drawbacks the concern
was not successful on Hoosier.
It is the belief of persons lately arrived in
Tanana from Ramp.ut that the plant will be
tuken back and set up on Minook.

He happens to be a Democrat, and re
marked that the policy of centralization

The policy is also sure death to the com
munities and individuals who oppose it.
A handsome new steamboat slip has
been put in at the public well between
the places of business of Stoddard & Kay

thus save the expense of cartage to peo

due to the enterprise of Messrs. Stod
dard A Kay and Carl.
