The question OF loaning water has oecn

cites that the practice has not been uni-
form in all parts Of the Arkansas Valley.
and tha, the method followed and the re-
cogntion OF loans has varied in different
districts. The complaint asked for pub
lie hearing and that regulations should be
established which should govern the Loan

purposes was badly needed, and would have to be built.
 pr. Phillips stated that on February 1 between thirty-five and forty pupils will be promoted from the elementary schools to the high school and that under the present conditions the new pupils cannot be cared for He stated the only feasible plan would be to rent several rooms in some residence in the vicinity of the school and to convert these into class rooms.
 After a general discussion the commit tee decided to visit the high school. There they were met by Prof. J. B. Cunningham the principal of the high school, and the building was inspected.
 The committee decided to lease two rooms immediately in a residence on the corner of Seventh avenue and Twenty first street and to purchase the necessary school furniture. Inasmuch as the next meeting of the board of education does not occur until next month the commit ice will secure the consent of the other members of the board to sign the lease Tor the rooms and to purchase the desks and other furniture. The two rooms will cost the board $15 per month. Dr. Phil lips says that additional room will have to be secured again next September.

Patti on Voice Culture.
rom Windsor Magazine.

From Windsor Magazine.
 Very often students wear out their voices with overstudy before they ap- pear in public. They distroy the fresh ness of the voice by singing toomuch. As to the length of time to be devoted to study, l myself do not give more than fifteen or twenty minutes to it daily. and these few minutes I devote to scales. It was my brother, Mir. Ettore Barili, who laid the foundation of my singing. My brother-in-law, MT. Strakosch, taught me certain embellishments and cadenzas, but 1t was to Ettore Barli that I owed the foundation. as well as the finish, of my vocal equipment. With him I studied sol feggi. trills, scales; the chromatic scales came naturally. l think I was trilling when I came into the world. My golden rule in singing Is to spare myself until the voice Is needed and then never to give 1t all out Put 1t In the bank

 A number of government entomo1ogists and scientists already are en route to the ravaged Texas fields and to the Sabine river valley in Louisiana, the pest having been reported from three places in that section. There will be thirty or forty sci entists at work against the pest before long.
 They will organize the farmers to fight the weevil and will educate them in the best methods of attack.

Flreproof Scenery.

From the New York Tribune.
 The first important link in the chain of deadly influences at the Chicago fire was the highly combustible character of the scenery. Here, perhaps, Is the chief oppor- tunity for reform In the equipment of other theatres and opera houses. For more than twenty years there have been at the disposal of the scene painters a number of fire proof paints. Solutions which will render such light materials as muslin and gauge uncomfortable are also well known. With determination and enterprise and probably little additional outlay. the spread of a fire on modern stage could today be made absolutely inn possible. Inasmuch as the majority of fires in theatres originate in that quar- ter, there is all the greater necessity for the suggested improvement, Prevention Is infinitely better than cure.

3,1O0,OOO,OOO FEET CUT
Great Increase In Consumption of Lumber Throughout the South Is Reported Because of
 High Cotton Prices.

New Orleans, January 19.-The Southern Lumber Manufacturers association met here today in their fourteenth session. N. w Mcleod, president of the association. called the meeting to order and immedi- ately began the reading of his annual re- port Concerning the outlook for the lum- Der trade, President Mcleod said;
 "The consumption of lumber In the south will probably be very greatly in- creased on account of the high prices the southern farmers have been getting for their products Estimates of stocks on hand only show per cent more January 1, 1904, than was shown a year ago.
 "When it is considered that on account of inability to obtain transportation fa- cilities. and that there Is an actual short age in the retail yards of over Soo,OOOOO0 feet. and that it will take the movement of that amount before the retail yards will have a normal stock, 1t will be seen that there Is an actual shortage of lumber on hand, and that the conditions of SUD- ply and demand are favorable to the man. ufacturer."
