Curlew School Annexation Aim May Move Victor District
Residents in the Curlew district petition the county superintendent to annex the upper Curlew area to the Victor district. If approved 18 pupils would transfer to Victor, enabling a graded school at that location. Mrs. Margaret Postwick arrived in Hamilton with her son to investigate her husband’s death and insurance. The Duncan Clark Female Minstrels performed to a small but appreciative crowd. Election for school trustees today hints at an opposition ticket to Mrs. Toole and Dr. Myers, though the regular slate is expected to win.
