UNFAIR TREATMENT.
From information supplied to the Farmers and Settlers' Association it would seem that Mr. Rigg, the Brogan's Creek school teacher, has been treated in anything but a proper spirit. Brogan's Creek is not the nicest place to live in, and for a teacher to have to provide his own water supply, don't add to the attractiveness of the place. During the recent dry spell Mr. Rigg, found his 100 gallon tank, which a wise Department thinks adequate for teacher and scholars, of no service, and at his own expense had to provide water. This is not as it should be, and the Farmers and Settlers' Association, at its meeting on Saturday, passed a resolution in favor of obtaining a larger tank4 .

11 March 1909
F. AND S. ASSOCIATION.
The usual monthly meeting of the above body was held in the Globe Hotel sample rooms on Saturday last. There was a fair attendance of members.
It was resolved that a letter be written to the District School Inspector, Mr. Reay, requesting that an 800 or 1000 gallon tank be supplied to the Brogan's Creek school, and also state that the tank supplied by the Department was inadequate for requirements5 .

REMOVAL.
After 20 years' residence as school teacher in charge of the Brogan's Creek school, Mr. Rigg has received notice of his transference to Trunkey, on the western line. Mr. Rigg does not like the severance of old associations, but the best of friends must part, and I trust his new sphere of labor will be as congenial and pleasant as Brogan's Creek has proved6 .
