Little Willie George Washington
Hackney has done his stunt. AS GUS
tomary in the public schools, where
February p is recognized as a holi-
advance, and will rest a few lines to-
day. A number of legislators took
part in the exercises, and many of
them recited pieces suitable to the
occasion. But the real business was
in the hands of Mr.. Hackney. Like
Little George he cannot tell a lie. He
cut down the appropriation with his
little Ratchet, and-he is such a
cut-up-always having his little joke,
the log was reduced to stove lengths.

COUNCIL NET LAST NIGHT
Considered Question Of Raising Saloon
License

At the session of the city council last
night the matter of raising the saloon
license in this city was discussed at
some length and it was decided to sub
NIT the question of the blanket license
that is now up for consideration in the
council to the public and an invitation
is extended to the people of Lewiston
to appear before the council Friday
night and discuss the question in de-
tail. The saloon men of the city are
indignant over the efforts to raise the
license and give out the evidence that
the license imposed on saloons at this
time is all that can be stood. COM
munication was read from Councilman
Kjos who is absent from city in which
he states that he had received numer-
Gus protests from business men and
suggested that the license of $1,10O
which is proposed is a little high and
recommends that the same be placed
at $500.
At the session last night the council
refused to grant new license to the
Idaho saloon at the corner of Second
and D streets.

WILL GO TO BOISE
President Black Summoned to Meet the
Committee

President George H. Black of the
Lewiston Normal will leave tomorrow
morning for Boise at the call of Sen
ator Crum to be present before the
educational committees of the house
and senate when the bonding and
maintenance appropriations for the
normal are being discussed.
Senator Crum's letters are encour-
aging concerning the status of the ap-
preparations for the state educatlonai
institutions. The governors message
paved the way for liberal treatment for
our schools of higher education ana
there is a strong spirit manifest TO give
each school it's just dues and appro-
pirate the money that the needs of the
institution demands and the friends OF
the Lewiston Normal are confident that
on the showing it has made its modest
requests will be granted.

NORMAL SCHOOL
BONDING. BILL
Senator Crum Will Present the
Measure to Legislature
This Week

The resident members of the normal
school board held a meeting at the Sec
retaries Office Monday night to put the
finishing touches on a bill to be pre-
scented to the Legislature asking for an
appropriation of $4,000 to be raised
by bonding the normal school lands.
The money from the bonds is to be
used to build two wings to the pres
ent main building, one to be used for
an eight grade training school and the
other for room for physical training
and for a new auditorium. The train
ing school annex is to be placed on the
east side of the main building. 1t will
be a two-story structure with eight
school rooms a manual training room
and an assembly room The training
department thus equipped will carry
every grade from the primary to the
high school and give the student
teachers practice in all phases of school
work.
The physical training annex will be
a building 65x43 feet he two lower
floors of which will be equipped for all
apparatus for light gymnastic work
and with shower and tub baths for the
pupils OF the school. The upper floor
of this building is to he used for new
auditorium and the present auditorium
will then be cut into rooms for the sci
ence laboratory work. With the new
departments the school will expend to
meet the demands of its growth. The
sum asked for maintenance for the
next two years is about $4,000.

FOR IDAHO
Awards of Worlds Fair for This
State Have Been
Received

BOISE, Jan. 15.-World's Fair Com
missioner c. B. HURT has received
some of the certificates of awards made
to the state at ST. Louis. These are
the sweepstakes award in the agricul-
tural department, the gold medal
award in the mining department and
the gold medal award in the horticul-
tural department Two other certifi-
Gates are yet due. those for the silver
medal awards on the educational ex-
hibit and the state building.
These certificates are to be framed
and hung on the wall in the hall of the
capitol building adjacent to the audi
tors room. They are not particularly
striking in appearance and do not re-
fleet any particular credit upon the ex-
position management. The most con-
spicuous feature is a campaign button
picture of President Francis at the top.
Another feature that attracts attention
is a patent right notice printed on the
ribbon and still another a copy right
notice that appears on the certificate.
Moreover, these certificates appear to
have been far more valuable in the
eyes of the exposition management
Mr. HURT received duplicates Of three,
or six in all, and for these he was
obliged to pay 500, whereas 80 cents
would come much nearer representing
the expenditure involved.
The horticultural sweepstakes GER
tificate has a little more ribbon than
the others. At the top is one of red
satin on which is printed streotyped
form. Lying under this is one Of white
which extends below the red, the ex-
posed portion bearing this inscription:
Grand Prize, awarded to State of
and installation of agricultural booth,
department of agriculture, Frederic w.
Taylor, Chief"
Another ribbon is of dark blue and
extends below the white. These ribbons
are on the left hand side of the certifi-
The state can get the medals on pay
ing for them, as can individual exhib-
itors. If the management charges pro-
portionately as much for these as it
has for the ribbons and the porcelain
picture of President Francis. it WIN
take more than the normal appropria-
ton to conduct the state government
for two years.
1t is Mr.. Hurts idea that the state
should purchase medals won by pri-
vate exhibitors who donated their ex-
| hibits and present the same to them.
