The directors of the Woodriver school district and officials of the Standard Oil Company to' Wood- river township held a conference oil Friday night the 'hope at reaching a settlement with rjgard to the location of the new school building which has been -defeated three times at recent elections. County Superintendent oT Schools J.

U. Uzzell was present at the meeting and advised an agreement, but tho majority the board could not see it in that light. The Standard Oil people also retained their -views on the matter and a deadlock was the result. At the school election next month it 'is expected that the Standard Oil interests will elect a member of the school board who will be favorable to them ibut the two holdover members are for locating the mew school near the present site. They were going to call another election, 'but in view of the fact that the Standard Oil people intended to have ballots printed, naming the which they favored, the school board would not call the election.

As the two members can not ibe removed under a year, the deadlock will continue for that length of time. As a result of the contention, the present 'Inadequate school will be retained. The meeting Friday night was marked good humor, but there was no bitterness-, both sides, believed that they were In the right and remained firm. It was pointed out to the school board that it was only matter of time until the other side would have a majority oh the board, tout they preferred to keep tho: matter" deadlocked, for the reason that something might turn up during the year to give -uctory to thoir side.
