Steenrod Appointed

E. L. Steenrod, of this city, one of the teachers in the high school, was Thursday appointed county school examiner to succeed W. J. Emmons. Mr. Steenrod is well worthy to succeed Mr. Emmons. He is closely identified with the country school teacher, having been a country teacher himself until employed in the Sidney schools last year.
