A proposition which will confront
the voters of this city at the coming
election will be the enlargement Of
tie school building by the addition
of a wing to contain two rooms, the
Board OF Education not being
allowed to expend the sum necessary
without the approval of the voters
aud taxpayers. When the building
was rebuilt and enlarged a few
years ago a popular argument among
those opposed to the improvement
was that it would be years before it
would be fully occupied. yet today
the necessity of more o is imper-
alive. Nothing could testify more
strongly to the wonderful growth of
our city than the manner in which
the school has been attended. There
are at present 296 scholars enrolled
in the school. Every department is
MT crowded, but it is in the Inter
mediate department where the
necessity of room arises. To the two
rooms, there are loo scholars; in n
room the daily average attendance
has been between % and so aud
anyone familiar with school work is
aware hat it is impossible for a
teacher to do justice to a class OF 60
scholars. Experienced instructors
state that under no circumstances
should u class exceed 40 scholars.
Next school year it is safe to esti
mate tue attendance in these two
rooms at 125. Today the Beard is
compelled to refuse admittance to
tuition scholars in the intermediate
Dept. The problem has confronted
and harassed the Board for over a
year and it has been decided to place
the situation and plan before the
people for approval or rejection.
There is not a foot Of space ia the
building for use either as a school
room or cloak room. Something

The Legislature OF 1899 has made
a most creditabla record "a record
which gives general satisfaction.
No preceding Legislature in the
history OF our state was called upon
to face as many perp!exing questions
as confronted this body. The inItia-
tive and referendum and dispeusary
amendments, the need OF revision of
the revenue laws. the large deficlen-

upon which action had TO be taken
and this with a hostiIe-to the maj

camp will be pitched on the Bitter
Root river, near Florence. and all the

will be a successful one. The plans of
the corporal are to have the camp con-
Quoted on military lines, and the boys
will be drilled thoroughly all the time
that they are out. There will be plenty
of time for fishing and hunting and
other sports. and there will be room in
the camp for a number of those who
are not members of the troop who may
desire to accompany the boys. The
rations for the trip will be purchased
from the company treasury, and a ball
will be given at the camp during the
time the boys are out which will, it is
hoped, net enough to pay for the trip.

SOUTHERN CALIFORNIA.
The Rev. Mr. Clark Much in Love With
the Country.

The Rev. MIR. Clark Much in Love With
the Country.
Missoula, Aug. 15.-Rev. o. c. Clark
writes to the Standard from San Diego
mat he expects to be back home in
time to hold services in his own church
Aug. ". Mr.. Clark is much in love
with the climate of the southern por-
ton or California, where he has been
located during his absence from Mis-
souia, and has much to say regarding
its advantages. In his letter he makes
the following remarks, which he says
may be of interest to those who are
looking toward California:
Southern California cannot be said
to be a sanitarium all the year around
unless you choose your locality. 1t is
true that three or fours ride on the
railroad will take the traveller into
greater variety of climate than can
probably be reached in equal time in
any other part of the world, but all of
these localities are not equally desir-
able as health resorts. The inland dis
tricts that are very pleasant during
the fall and winter are intensely warm
during the summer and even those who
live in these districts make 1t a point
to get away to the mountains or to the
coast during July and August. This
condition that prevails in the inland
districts is thought by many to char
acterize all of Southern California dur
ing the summer, but this is not the
case The seaport towns as rule, |
think, but notably San Diego, with its
beautiful and commodiouS Coronado,
are sanitariums. This is true of the IL
months of the year. The extremes of
temperature that are so trying for those
in a weak physical condition and so un-
pleasant for all are unknown here.
During the year between July, 1894,
and August, 1895, there We're only two
hours when the temperature was lower
than 40 degrees and only % hours when
it was above so degrees. 1t is said that
this year was no exception to the rule
here. The equable temperature of San
Diego is proverbial. Cold snaps and
hot spells are unknown here. For lit
tie time in the morning between and
8 o'clock, it gets pretty warm, but at
10 o'clock the trade winds begin to
blow and from that hour the cool
breeze makes the Warmest day COM
Portable. Charles Dudley Warner in
is a genality about the climate that the
mercury does not account for, charm
which it is difficult to explain There
can be no question but that the eli
matte conditions in San Diego are ia
vorable to health to degree that is
found in few other places on the CONT
nent."
Mr.. Clark closes his encomium of
Southern California with description
of the big hotel at Coronado and the pos
sibilites of enjoying life there. He
says further that there are accommo-
dations elsewhere that are comfortable
and enjoyable for those who desire to
live more economically.

DEALS IN COPPER STOCKS
Broker Burleigh Was Not Always
Fortunate.
SEVERAL SUITS BEGUN
There Is No Charge OF Dishonesty, but
the Plaintiffs Wish to Protect the
Money They Have Given
Him to Invest

Great Falls, Aug. 15.-During the
spring and summer there have been
many operations in copper stocks by
people in this city, and the larger part
of them have been made through w. 3.
Burleigh. Their extent may be guessed
from the fact that claims approximat-
ing nearly 100000 are now being filed
against Mr.. Burleigh. They are now
in the hands of L. L. Seattle, a Boston
attorney, who is conducting Burleigh
through the process of an assignment
for the benefit of his creditors. The
broker left this city bout two months
ago for the East, where he has re-
manned ever since. About a week ago
his wife left to join him. He has been
in constant communication with his
clients. but his letters have not con-
veyed the definite information which
they desired, and so they have held a
meeting and placed their claims in the
hands of the Boston attorney. They
do not doubt Burleigh's honesty. but
they are anxious to protect their claims
and their money.
According to everything which can
be learned at this distance from the
broker, Burleigh was accustomed to
place all investments in one general
account, and with this he did business
freely, buying and selling for himself
as well as for his patrons AS a con-
sequence he now finds himself about
100000 in debt in stocks which. if sold,
would bring about 100000. The assign
ment will be arranged so that 80 days
will be given for settling up his affairs,
and should the market advance suffi-
GENTLY, it may prove that not only will
the men on this end get all of their
money back, but may get more, and
Burleigh himself may have something
left after paying expenses.
The creditors, while saying that they
did not understand that their money
was to be thrown into one general ac-
count, seem to have considerable con-
tidence in Burleigh and believe that his
misfortunes have come through errors
in judgment rather than through any
intentional dishonesty. He is appar-
emily doing his best to straighten out
the tangle and it may come all right in
the end.
