Northwestern Commercial company and
manager of the Northeastern Siberian com
pany, has purchased the Olympia, Victoria

Northern Pacific line. The vessels are
types of the old time steamship, having
been from 20 to 80 years in service, and the

Farm Buildings Burned.

The farm buildings on the Jarvas
place, about two miles east of West
moreland on the Glebe road were des-
stroyed by fire Wednesday, June 1.
The fire started in the horse barn. An
east wind carried the flames through
the barn to the house, which seemed
TO take fire all at once. Men work.
ing in a field nearby saw the smoke at
the first but could not save anything,
not even being able to get a horse out
of the barn.
The place was recently bought
from Frank Jarvas by Horatio Black,
who had just moved in. The house
was built more than 100 years ago
and was two stories in height and fine
ly and soidly built. The timbers
were dry as powder and the house
burned to ashes in a very few min
utes. The occupants are left with
only the clothing they had on at the
time.

The present outlook Is that the
county convention will be tame affair
unless fight develops over the sem
atorship from the north end. No can
didates for side judges have been
mentioned in opposition to Frank
worden of Halifax and F. B. Pier of
Jamaica, the present incumbents. but
occasionally there are shifts in these
offices at the eleventh hour. II. d. Ry-
der of Bellows Falls will undoubtedly
be nominated for the office of states
attorney as there is no one UP against
him. F. W. Mcclure of this town
seems to have the high sheriff's job
cinched. and there is not likely to be
any opposition to the present judges
of probate.

NEW SCHOOL HOUSES
DISTRIBUTION OF MODEL pIANs
 FOR RURAL DISTRICTS.
Copies of Model Plans Proposed \, state Educafionel Associa-
 ton Are Being sent

Fiahs Tor country school houses in Alabama are being sent ous by State superintendent I. W. Hill to all coun- " superintendents in the State. The redistrfcting of the school districts throughtout Alabama has necessitated the erection of many new school hocs- es. The plans which afs being sent out as guides in the erection of the new school houses are to assist the To- cal authorities in building well light ed, well ventilated and comfortable scnool buildings in the rural districts. This plan of help and suggestion
 has been adopted and carried into erect by the State Educational Asso- clatlon. At the association's last meet ipg the new redistricting law was dis cussed. with its effect upon the school conditions of the State. It was known that the new law which altered the old arbitrary township lines as school districts and established school dis tricts founded on population and nat urai barriers would result in the erec- tion of many new school houses in Alabama. A way was sought which would prevent the erection of these buildings in the old haphazard way, a way which would give a modern, well ventilated school buildings at a mod crate cost.
 It was suggested that the State Ed ucational Association should furnish plans for well ventilated, well light ed, healthful buildings which could be erected at moderate cost and the suggestion met with immediate fa- vor.
 A committee was appointed to draw up plans for school houses, The plans were to call for the erection of two room, three room and four room school buildings. Professor c. B. Glenn, of Birmingham. was named as the chair- man of this committee. The commits tee made study of school architec- ture and drew plans for school hous- es according to the most approved measure. The buildings called for by the plans can be erected at a moderate cost and with the specifications that are sent out with each set of plans
