for extras on the building not in
cluded in the specifications, for
building sidewalks, outhouses, pur-
chasing desks and books, freight
on same, and all the necessary ex-
penses naturally attached to fur
nishing a large new school build
ing. The old school site and
building still remain as an asset
of the district but cannot be sold at
present, and this asset will about
offset the new Indebtedness. The
old debt of about $500 still stands,
and will have to be paid out of the
general school fund. The existing
law under which the apportion-
ment is made, robs the large dis
tricts to help the small ones ;
hence it happens that "A large part
of the school tax money collected
in Grangeville, is used for the sup
port of all other districts in Idaho
county. This is not right. Each
school district should be self sup
porting and independent republic,
levying and collecting its own
taxes for the support of its own
school. If such a law were in force
Grangeville could maintain a nine
months school at few mills in ex-
cess of the current tax levy for
school purposes. AS matters stand,
hostile legislation practically pro-
hibits the establishment of high
grade public schools in our
cities and towns. What is
needed is general law authoriz-
ing the organization of Independent
districts on the lines outlined
above. Until this is done the
schools of the towns and cities in
this state will be too expensive to
maintain the highest standard OF
efficiency.
We are indebted to Mr.. Hanson
of the Elite photograf gallery, fol
taking special picture of the new
building, from which the half-tont
plate shown above was made.

OUR PUBLIC SCHOOL,.
An Institution Which is q
Credit to CdM0S Prairie and
Idaho COuufU.

The illustration at the head of
these columns shows the Grange
vile public school building erected
in 1894. The building is erected on
a block of ground about 800 feet
square on the south side of West
Main street, on slightly eminence
overlooking the town and visible
from Craig's mountain, Baldy on
Elk City trail, and from the Nose
Melnor wagon road. The front
of the building, shown in the pic
ture, faces north. The school dis
trict was bonded by an almost
unanimous vote of the people in
April, 1898, for S56SO, or four per
cent. of the taxable property of the
district, that being the maximum
sum allowed by law.
The first effort to place the
bonds secured an offer of $500 pre-
MUM, but before the offer was ac-
cepted the panic came on, the offer
was withdrawn, and it was not un-
til May, 1894, that the present
board of trustees were able to float
the bonds at par. AS soon as the
money was secured the board pro-
ceeded to the consideration of de-
signs for the building. The one
finally decided on is shown above.
It's dimensions over all are
81 81 feet. The building is two
stories in height. The ground
floor has two school rooms on the
east side, large hall in the center
and one large school room, with
principals private room and library
on the west side. An elegant
flight of stairs leads to the second
story, which is modelled on the
same plan as the lower floor, to.
wit: Two school rooms on the east
side and large recitation and ex-
hibition hall on the west side
Only the rooms on the lower foo,
are in use at present. The direct
ors, in adopting a design larger
than is needed now, wisely KEEP
an eye on the future, and put thu
district money where the creates
good can be gotten out of it. There
are 14o pupils attending the school
The building will accommodat,
300 pupils if required, and it il
safe to say that the building viii
be crowded to its utmost capacit,
long before the roof is reshingled
The board paid 500 for th
fourteen lots. The contract for tn
building was awarded to q. II Will
Jams for $4,995. Its actual cos
was over 81 900, but the defcienc
was made good by the bondsmer
The inside is hard finished through
out, with four-foot wainscottin
and double floors. 1t is in all re
spects the finest, largest, warmes
and best constructed building i

is about as good as they make thei

FAST RIDING BY LOCAL CYCLISTS.
Ten Miles Covered in Less Thar
1wenty-Six Minutes.
Twenty Men In the Race, Which was
Witnessed by a Large Mum.
Der of People.

There were upward of q thousand spec
tators at Agricultural Park yesterday to
witness the ten-nlile bicycle race between
two teams composed of members Of the
Capital City Wheelmen's Club. The
weather WAS warm and delightful and the
race proved a very exciting one.
The riders all showed up in good trim
on load wheels of average weight. They
were paced the first two miles by tan
dem manned by Hirsch and Pope, and
again in the last mile, but the tandem was
not speedy enough to keep out of the way
of the chief scorchers.
Sunday racing is against the rules of
the League of American Wheelmen, but
the club had taken the precaution to pro-
cure dispensation with the understand
ing that no gate money would be collected
and no prizes given.
The ten miles were covered by Read
mans team. the captain leading. in the
excellent time of Is minutes and so Sec
onds. The coast road record for the dis
lance is rs minutes, and though yester-
days race was on track, the course was
| probably no faster than a good public
! highway. Is it was rather soft for wheels.
The first mile was made in 2:A 4-5, and
the last in 2:29 DO The slowest mile was
the seventh, .2:44 20. Ii seemed to be the
general impression that the leaders set
too hot pace in the first and second
miles for so long a race. but the men
were not greatly tatigued at the end of
| the journey, and most Of them were
ready to 60 the same distance again. In
| deed, Readman, Young and one or two
others did not stop at the end of the tenth
mile, but went another.
Readman's team wore red sashes, and
Eliott's yellow. The former made l22
points to the latters' IS. There being
twenty men in the race, the first over the
score being credited with 20 points, the
next 10, and so on. The defeated team
will entertain the winners at the theater
some evening this week, the price of the
tickets being the only penalty for losing
the race. The teams were composed as
! follows:

THE DEAD LETTER LAWS.

When a Republican Mayor and Trus-
tees are elected, as they Will be, we
expect to see dead letter ordinances ex-
purged from the ordinance book or en-
forced. They are there now thick as
the leaves of autumn, and some of them
have been invoked and called for with
loud voice during the past summer by
the people, but in vain, notably the
laws forbidding street distractions, the
violation of health ordinances, injury
to the streets, requiring the condemna-
ton of walkways, the replacing of side
alks, and so on through long list.
1t would be interesting to have some
one point out dead letter ordinance
or a sadly abused one by the defiant
and favored that is not as dead letter
now as it has been for years, or as much
frayed and tattered now as ever.
The Republican party has declared
that under it these laws shall be en-
forced. That is the spirit and express
sion of the platform, and the Republi-
can Mayor and Trustees, when elected
will keep to the letter and spirit Of the
platform, but above all else to the
commands of duty put upon them by
the laws and their oaths.
The record-union., 1895-10-28
RIGHTS OF CITIZENS AND ELEC-
TION DECLARATION.

The Republican party has declared
that all possible Improvement should
go on in this city commensurate with
the ability of the taxpayer to bear with
out grievous hurt to him. Who is there
who would ask for more than that and
claim to be reasonable? What commu-
nifty is there that can advance a step in
Improvement beyond the financial ca
pacity of the taxpayers? The dancers in
no music can speed beyond the piping of
the players To just such improvement
policy the nominees of the party stand
honOrably pledged.
The Republican platform upon which
Mr.. Wilson stands announces the true
doctrine, and sounds in spirited Ameri-
canism when it declares for things
American Paragraph y; for good gov
eminent enterprise and progress para
graph p; for farm, factory, labor and
wages, meaning good wages Paragraph
-, and for religious liberty in its most
comprehensive form. 1t stands for in
vested interests and the right to prop
erty Paragraph II.
1t opposes corporation rule anywhere
Paragraph %; it demands the enforce
ment of all laws and ordinances in their
/ true spirit and intent Paragraph 81; il
| demands the enforcement of the SAM
| tary laws, the rigid enforcement Of
health regulations Paragraph y.
Here we quote the exact language: "A
progressive, broad and liberal policy re-
| garding street improvements, and to
push the same, but with due regard &C
the ability Of the owners of property 10
pay therefor without distress" para
graph 8.
The Republican platform proceeds TO
arraign the present administration for
| the scandals regarding street obstruc-
| lions, street sprinkling, and the like
pledges its nominees to economical and
| judicious administration, asserts party
belief in the right and wisdom of push
! ing party into municipal elections, and
| takes issue frankly with the idea that it
were better if party politics were elimi-
mated from municipal elections.
Such is the platform that Mr.. Wilson
was nominated upon; that he accepted
that he pledged himself to; that is the
voice Of his party, that has been SO
misrepresented and lied about. 1t is OF
record, there is no reading between the
! lines in its declarations. Its candi-
dates are bound by it. 1t is neither
presumptuous nor boastful. 1t does not
| claim that all the virtues of the whole
| community lie within the organization
nor that all without is vice and weak
ness. 1t claims manly, boldly, and Wig
orously, and upon it ]. w. Wilson is 60
| ing to be elected. The Record Union
supports him because it believes,
among all candidates, he is best for the
city and among all declarations those OF
| his platform are best for the city and
most assure it good government.

Pains in the joints and muscles are rheu-

Catarrh starts in the nasal passages,
affecting eyes, ears and throat, and is in
fact, the great enemy of the mucous
membrane. Neglected colds in the head
almost invariably precede catarrh, caus-
ing an excessive flow of mucus, and if
the mucous discharge becomes inter-
rupted the disagreable results of ca
tarrh will follow, such as bad breath,
severe pain across forehead and about
the eyes, a roaring and buzzing sound
in the ears and oftentimes very Of
fensive discharge. Ely's Cream Balm
is the acknowledged cure for these
troubles
