School census effort targets clear district boundaries county wide
Deputy Superintendent A B Lightfoot urges cooperation with county committees to redefine school district lines in Kansas counties. He notes many districts have long standing boundaries, some over 25 years old, making property and roll eligibility unclear. Similar reorganization work is underway in Lincoln, Charehill, Humboldt, and Churchill. The law requires appointing a School Census Marshal age over 21 by March each year, sworn in and reported to the Superintendent. The 1907 census form includes many new questions and will be issued to marshals directly from the Department of Public Instruction.

Parcels Post Bill Introduced In Senate By Burnham
Washington February 14. A parcels post bill in Congress would establish rural mail routes with five cents per first pound and two cents per additional pound up to eleven pounds. If enacted merchants could ship eleven pounds for 25 cents, vs about 1.76 outside mail order costs. The measure follows Postmaster General Meyer and has Roosevelt's endorsement. Tonopah merchant S B Cohen attempted suicide yesterday shooting himself in the head, but survived with likely loss of sight in one eye. financial reverses cited. A new Reno club, the Nevada Commercial Club, appears social but figures as a political device per city business leaders.
