good republicanism and as perfect harmony

to do.
A motion was carried to the effect that
Miles ID. Houck and Jim Talbot should
both have their names on the primary
tickets. the one receiving the highest num-
Der OF votes to be the legislative candidate
Of the ward in next Saturdays convention.

sought the man, and he did not have to
for the state senate, provided the Office
is worth. 1t was also stated that John T.
Yates, who has been in San Francisco, is
also a candidate for the senate. A motion
by A. w johnson prevailed that G. w. Nc

REPORT ON The HIGH SCHOOL
Recommendation to the Board of Ed
ucatiOn Mnde by the Special
Committee.

At the last meeting of the Board of Edu-
cation the following report was made by
the special committee, which is considering
the matter of presenting a proposition to
the people to vote bonds for a new High
school building or buildings and was
adopted by the board:
Your special committee, to which was re-
ferred the matter of the advisability of ask
ing the voters for an issue of bonds to pro-
vide additional room for the High school
grades, desires to report that we have had
the matter under consideration We believe
the present crowded condition OF the High
school ought not to continue, but more room
should be provided and this board should
ask the voters at the next election to ap-
prove an issue of bonds for that purpose.
We have not considered the matter at suf-
icient length to recommend at this time
Just what the sum of bonds should be. We
have discussed two plans for providing ad
ditional High school room
One OF these to secure plans and esti-
mate of cost for a complete central high
school building to be erected upon the pres
ent grounds, one wing of this building to
be erected as soon as possible, the other
portions later as needed; these portions as
erected, perhaps, to be temporarily con-
nected with the present building for con-
venient use until such time as 1t became
proper to remove the present structure, that
the complete building might take its place.
The ,ther, to erect two high school build
ings, one in the northern and one in the
southern part of the city; each of these
buildings to be made to accommodate from
300 to 200 pupils.
If this plan of additional high schools

actly the same as the corresponding days of
the previous week. Monday showed a gain
of nearly 1000, which was offset by a
slight falling off Tuesday. Thursday was
somewhat lighter than the preceding Thurs
day, as thousands Of people were waiting
for the next day which was generally an
ticipated as the big day Of the week, Then

ColoradO's Fruit Exhibit.

The Colorado fruit In the Horticulture
building is completely installed and is prov
ing to be one of the most attractive yet
seen. Th. enild exhibit that is made is
largely due to the efforts of Mrs. NJ. A.
Shute, secretary of the state horticulture
society. After the legislature Of the state
failed to make an appropriation for an eX-
hibit, Mrs. Shute took the matter UP with
the fruit growers OF Colorado and as a result
number of the best counties in the state
are represented.
Otero and Garfield counties have the larg-
est exhibits and also the largest number
of varieties of fruit, though there are sew
eral counties that are making a good show
ing.
Speaking of the fruit exhibit George B.
Fravert OF Genwood Springs said: "Our
crop this year is the best in the history of
the state and we wanted to get here earlier
in the season, but there were so many things
to contend with that we found it impossible.
Now that we are here, however, We intend
to make up for lost time and put up the
best exhibit possible We have the fruit to
show and our growers will send 1t on so that
there will be nothing stale or wilted on
our tables. We are right in the valley of
the Grand river, which is conceded to be
the finest fruit producing section in the
world. There are thousands of acres of land
in fruit and thousands more just as good
that are not improved. During the last
year ]. B. Hurlburt of Parachute and A. J.
Dickinson of Glenwood Springs have located
hundreds of men upon fruit farms and if the
good work goes on for five years every val
ley in that section of the state will be
great fruit farms. The beauty of the coun
try is that in the valleys we do not have
frost until late in October. thus allowing the
most tender fruit to mature. or course we
can't raise tropical fruits in Colorado but
we can raise the best that grows in any
northern latitude"

tive pupils AS a rule the work is excellent
and will compare favorably with the work
of pupils in the public schools in the states.
In addition to the school work there are
a number of pictures done by native artists.
They are mostly copies, but they are we'll
