TO CONSIDER ISSUE OF BONDS
WITH WHICH TO PROVIDE MON
Ely FOR MORE SCHOOLS.
Board at Monday Nights Meeting
Decided to Leave the Matter to
People of District.

The pressing need of more room
in the city schools is more apparent
every day to teachers and members
of the school board 1t was thought
when the Barge school was complet-
ed that, in the vernacular of the
street, "that would hold 'em for
awhile 1t did, but not for a very
long while. There isn't room in
any of the school buildings that
isn't crowded at the present time, and
the heaviest attendance of the
school year comes between the holt
days and the end of the spring term.
There are no suitable rooms or
buildings available, and it looks like
some of the big boys would have to
share the desks of the big girls if
more room is not provided soon
The matter was given careful con-
sideration at the meeting of the
board Monday night. Figuring on
the present rapid increase in popu-
lation of the city, which constitutes
district No Z, it will be but few
months until at least two new build
ings similar in size to the Lincoln or
Barge, will be needed. In view of
this fact. the board decided to adopt
resolution calling for public
meeting to be held in Central build
ing on the evening of Monday, De-
cember 81, to decide whether a spe-
cial election shall be held to vote on
the question of issuing bonds for
the construction of two more school
buildings. If the election is decided
upon, rs there is every reason to be-
lieve it will be, the attendants at the
mass meeting Will also set the
amount of bonds to be voted upon.
An effort will be made to get a
large attendance at the meeting, in
order that a majority Of taxpayers as
well as school patrons will be repre-
scented. The Importance of the mat
ter warrants this, and the interest
in the schools, which are now in bet
ter condition and doing better work
than ever before, will encourage the
interest in the proposition which the
board hopes to see manifested. The
district is bonded now for $4,000,
and this may be raised to $500, 900
before the limit is reached. When
money is borrowed from the state
for school purposes it can be secured
at per cent.

FOULLY MURDERED
OR WAS DROWNED
N. |. MAROIS DROPS OUT OF SIGHT
Was to Have Been Married in This
City on Sunday-Scarcli Is Be-
ing Made for Him.

~ Lewis Marios. wealthy min
ing man of Alaska, after spending \
few hours with the woman to whom
he was shortly to be married. and
leaving her at the Wenas school
house, IL miles from the city, last
Tuesday evening, to return to town
| disappeared as if the earth had
swallowed him, and no trace of his
whereabouts has been discovered up
to this time. His promised wife and
many Of his friends believe he has
been foully dealt with. and that when
the mystery is solved it will be
found that he was murdered for the
money he was known to have upon
his person at the time of his disap-
pearence. Others incline to the be-
lief that he was swept from his
horse by the current of the river
which he attempted to ford during
the night, and was drowned Both
theories have circumstances in con-
nection to substantiate then but
neither is more than a guess. The
sheriff's office is seeking to find
some clue, and friends of the miss
ing man are doing all in their power
to unravel the mystery.
Mr. Marois WINS engaged to be mar
ried to Miss Ambrosia Adams, a
school teacher in the Wenas valley.
Sunday was the day set for the we'd
ding, and invitations to friends had
been mailed. Marois made frequent
trips to Wenas to see Miss Adams,
the last one being on Tuesday after
noon 1t was about in the evening
when he left her. He was intending
to ford the Natchez river, and evil
IDENTIFY did SO. The fact that the sad
die as turned and one of the straps
broken when the horse came home
riderless to the barn strengthens the
belief that he was drowned while
attempting to cross the river, but if
this is true he must have missed the
ford, at which the water is not deep
or swift at the present time. He is
known to have been a good swimmer.
and it is thought would have been
able to get out of the water even if
he had been CARED from his horse.
The river is being dragged from its
mouth to the ford, where he was to
have crossed.
Miss Adams is greatly distressed
over her lovers disappearance and
is confident that he is dead, having
either met with an accident on his
way to the city or has been foully
dealt with. His people live in
Michigan, but he has been in the
west for some time, and has been
very successful in accommodating
wealth. 1t was the intention of he
and Miss Adams to purchase resi-
dence here and make this their HON ;
after the wedding. The search is
being continued, and today the water
in the waste ditch will be shut off in
order that the ditch may be gone
over in an endeavor to find a trace
of the missing man

YAKIMA MAN
GETS BIG CONTRACT
BUILDING PART OF TETON CANAL
Theodore Weisberger Will Construct
Twelve Miles, for Which He Will
Receive $2sO,OOO.

Theodore Weisberger of this city
has informed the Herald that he has
been awarded the contract for the
concrete and steel work to be done
on the Teton project. The contract
calls for the distributing and laying
of II miles of concrete slips in the
open canal flume tunnels at an APP
proximate cost of 100000, April l.,
1908, being named in the contract
as the date for completion, also that
the canal carry water by the spring
of 1908. The most difficult part of
the work of the entire canal will be
the two and a half miles of tunnel
cement work. 1t will take 1000, 900
pounds of steel and 100000
pounds of cement to complete the
work on the canal. The canal will
be semi-circular in shape, will have
four inches concrete wall, surfaced
with 80 to 50 pound steel rods to
lumber will be used in the entire
canal. The posts, caps and stringers
will be of steel and the fumes will
be made of concrete The stringers
will weigh 5000 pounds and will
contain over 200 pounds of steel.
Mr.. Weisberger expects to work
500 men and so teams. The ma
chinery which will be used, such
as crushers, concrete mixers. etc,
will cost $40, 900, and Mr. Weis-
berger is planning to install an cleo
trio plant to operate the machinery.
The cement and concrete will be
furnished by the government but
Mr.. Weisberger will have to trans
port it from the end of the \. Y.
& V. railway at Natchez City up
the Natchez valley to the site Of
the canal work, which will be from
eight to eighteen miles.
There will be $4,000 feet of tun-
nels covered in Mr.. Weisberger's
contract, the main tunnel being
through the divide from the north
fork of the Cowiche to the Tietoa
and is 1000 feet long. There will be
an automobile spillway installed at
the Tieton end of the main tunnel
made of concrete to carry off the sur
plus water. The main tunnel will be
followed by another tunnel 5000
feet long, and then four short tun-
nels from 90 to 60 feet long. With
in a short distance of the four short
tunnels will be another tunnel 100
feet in length. The next tunnel Is
one and one-half miles farther and
will be 100 feet with an automatic
spillway at the upper end. One mile
farther and midway of the canal in
the Tieton canyon is to be another
tunnel 5000 feet long. and between
that and the headgate two short tun-
nels.
As soon as the $4,000 bond of the
contractor is approved work will be
commenced in the preparation of
the concrete slips. However, It
will probably be spring before ac-
tual construction of the canal is
commenced in real earnest. The
government will make all the
excavations and grid the tunnels, and
Mr.. Weisberger's part of the work
will be to have the concrete slips
ready to put in place when the foun
dation is completed.
Mr.. Weisberger is only 81 years of
age, but has had considerable expert
ence in the construction of canals.
The construction work of the Yakima
Valley canal two years ago was un-
der his supervision.
