The state levy is the The levy will be collected on an assessed valuation of $407,283,549.22. 25 BODIES FROM BRITISH MINE WHITE HAVEN, England, Sept. 6. —{(By The Associated Press).—Twenty~ five bodies had’ been, recovered today from the coal, pit in which 40 men were entombed by a explosion yester- day. Heavy falls of rock and the presence of much gas are hampering rescue squads and it is feared the pit will have to be sealed as was the case when 136 workers were lost in a neigh- horing mine in 1910.

Casper’s schools bid fair to break ali records for increasing enrollment this year, and although most of the grade schools will not be overcrowded, it is probable that Park will not be able to hold all the students that enter. An addition to'Park school may be neces- sary before the year is over. The high school has at the present time 470 enrolled, with a class of 175 freshmen and 75 seniors. Class room for all these is a matter to purzle the heads of those in authority. Casper has this year 20 more school rooms than {t had last year and: it looks as though these would scarcely be sufficient. Supermtendent A. A. Slade said this morning that the complete enrolintent statistics will not be available for a day or two yet, inasmuch as the first day is not a fair estimate, many stu- dents coming in late. ee ee ee COAST GUARD CAPTAIN DEAD.
