The browning may not be for a long

sixteen years OF preparation, the Span

But this II not the custom OF nations.
IL rests with the king and not the peo-
pie. The latter have been waiting for
the hour when their King would mount
the throne: then and not until then
would the coronation be planned.
In the matter OF browning a mon
arch there are many little niceties: and
one Of these DEGREES that the day of
the coronation shall be set by the King.
His majesty Is consulted and his wishes

used by the different sexes will be
widely separated, so that there will
be no contact in going to or from
them, by the children. This part of
the economy of the building has been
especially looked after and it will
doubtless solve problem of concern
to all conscientious boards of school
control.
The exact location of this building
has not been fully determined, but
in all probability it will go where it
was originally designed that it should
go. just east of the park, in the south

location. which in a few years will
be one of the most populous portions

that this dome shall throw light into
the Railways both on the first and

The building will have the Dixoh
system of heating and ventilation
witt, the Paul attachment. This will
secure first class heat and ventilation,
which can be controlled by each dis
tiuct room so that there need be no
room suffer at the expense of another
in the way of heat and ventilation.
The building is of brick and will
follow the colonial style of architect

When the new school house which

of the handsomest buildings devoted
to the cause of education in the vest
ern portions of this state. With the
other buildings already erected and
equipped. the educational facilities.
so far as Grand Junction is concerned
will be of exceptional merit.
The cut which is given in today S

approved by number of noted archi

The general dimensions of the

8 distinct rooms, four on each of the
two floors. These rooms will be
231ax321a in size and will have all
the late improvements in ventilation

There will be three entrances to
the building. The main corridor
running through the building will
be twenty feet wide. The two side

that the children are protected from

branches into stairways. This gives
ample room for ascent and de scent.
