The New school Building.
At the close OF the spring term OF
1906 the present school board was
confronted by the serious situation
Of an overcrowded school again, IL
having been discovered that the
wooden structure erected in 1879
was inadequate to sustain the large
number OF pupils who were already
10 attendance, and would at the
opening OF the fall term certainly be
unable to cope with the present roll
and the large numbers who would
at that time seek an entrance to the
High School, having 10 many'in-
stances reached the limit OF the
grades 10 the suburban schools.
Thus with this condition Of affairs
staring them in the face, nothing
was left to do but sumbit the ques
tion TO the qualified electors OF the
township, with the result that on
the 9th day Of April the question Of

of the school at times were severe
but with determined friends ever tc

at It's masthead, these obstacles
were successfully surmounted.
L'Anse High School was not founded
in abundance and luxury. It's course
was rugged, its career was cut
through hard, flinty rock, and today
its fame is the result OF that never
firing energy which marked the
success OF many OF the pioneers
who gave it birth. 1t has, dur
ing these years scored a brilliant
victory, relying solely upon its
superior work, clean cut, high NOR

has reached the standard whereby
its graduates may enter still higher

ease and fewer credentials than
ever before in its history.

AS the years rolled on this board
and likewise the force OF superinten'
dents changed, and again forced by
the congested condition OF the little
Red Schoolhoase, in the year 1873
the board was confronted by the
same question which faced II seven
years before, that OF the erection ol
q more commodious house OF educa-
tioa. At that time the school had
been graded and those grades were
housed in q number OF public build
ings outside and away from the
main school. During this period
classes were being taught 10 what
was known as the H. H. Melden
block, today occupied by Campbell

The Present Old School Building.
Improved apparatus and modern
appliances were demanded to keen
pace with the times. The friends
and trustees of the old Red School,

fluential and official citizens OF the
whole township joined in an effort
to constitute and erect new aud
suitable school building. The effort
was successful and in the spring oil
1879 the builders and managers
began the erection OF what is now
the old L'Anse High School building

The local board, which was then com.

Williams, August Menge and
Harvey Selden, entered into con-
tract with the firm Of Watson &
Beehler, contractors, for its erec-

forward and ia the fall OF that year
the eager pupils might have been
seen vending their way to this new
educational Mecca. -
Throughout the long and pros

OF marked pleasure that we recall

Takingits existence as q whole,
L'Anse High School has taken the

Something more than thirty.five
years ago, when the village
OF L'Anse was in its infancy-s
mere hamlet--L'Anse High Schoo
was established and Incorporated
and with q small endowment OF com
paratively valseless real estate
opened its doors as higher institu
tion of learning, having in view the
prospective demands OF this tber
undeveloped section OF country for
higher educational faculties.
This now time-honored and warm.
ly cherished institution embarked
upon its noble mission in 1871, with
no flourish of trumpets, in an unpre.
tentious building, removed to this
village from the copper country on
q scow, and re-erected for the pur-
pose on what is now know as
simply the Bay Shore. One solitary
teacher was there as faculty and
guiding star OF that new born enter
prise, but he with his embryonic
venture, and hardly divining the
great future before it, was surround
ed and energetically sustained in his
lonely trust with q number oi
philanthropic, broa d m ! q d d
pioneers, through whose liberality
and efforts L'Anse High School had
become possibility. Some Of these
men, If we mistake not, whose fore.
thought conceived this first institu-
tion, whose manly courage was
strong enough to successfully carry
it through it's early strug.
giles, have passed to their
reward. Still it is matter ol
q great compensating satisfaction
to known that many Of them have
lived to see L'Anse High School
victoriously stem the tempestous
current of adversity, consequent
upon these primeval times, and Sc.
curely anchor itself upon that com
manding pedestal OF success and
fame which made it the well deserv-
ed idol OF L'Anse township-the
educational Mecca at whose shrine
OF lore the best minds OF those days
devoutedly drank and counseled, in
fact the equal, yea the peer, OF the
best High Schools in the state.
Starting from such humble be-
ginning, but charged with the true
spirit OF broad and progressive
education, L'Anse High School soon
obtained a strong hold upon
the people and SO grew in public
estimation and patronage that the
plain building on the bay shore was
wholly inadequate, and one year
after its opening substantial
wooden structure was built to meet
the growing demands. This build
ing was located upon and surmount-
ed what is now known as Lot 26,
Block A, the present site Of The
SENTINEL Office, and overlooked
the prosperous little village Of
L'Anse.
The early historysoi L'Anse High
School and L'Anse township are

L'Anse proved good soil in which
to plant q higher institution Of
learning thus early in the century.
Its geographical situation was ad-
mirable and the natural intelligence
ofits people caused the Importance Of
such school to be fully understood
and appreciated. This school was
also remarkably fortunate in the

and wisdom which characterized its
management. With sparing ex-

school building on the site OF the
wooden structure, since removed to
another part Of the lot, was carried
by majority vote of A to II. thus
giving the trustees authority to
proceed with the work.
About the middle dsoJune ground
was broken for the new and imposing
structure, which on Friday after :
noon. January 18th, 1907. was dedi-
Gated with all the pomp and glory
which is due worthy institution of
this kind, and likeness OF which
may be seen in the accompanying
illustration.
The duty OF preparing plans and
specifications for the new building
was given to Architect H, T. Lie
bert, Of Hancock, and on the 21st
day OF May, 1906, were submitted to
the local board for consideration.
After careful persual and few cor
rections they were accepted,
and the secretary authorized to ad-
vertise for bids for construction.
Several concerns filed bids which
in duo season were opened, where
upon Verville Bros, of Hancock,
were found to be the lowest bidders
and were accordingly awarded the.
contract, their bid being 1890.
On September 24th the matter OF
letting the contract for the heating
was brought up for con-
sideration. 4. A. Stellar, OF Hough--
ton. was awarded the contract, it
being IN the form of suu-contract,
Verville Bros, assuming the re-
sponsibility.
On June 18th, bonds in the amount
OF $50, 900, were disposed Of to the
Thomas J. Bulger Company, of
Chicago, and made payable as fol-
lows 81 900 each year for eight
years; 1870 each year for five,
years; $1,000 for one year, and
$4,000 for one year, each OF the fore
going payments falling due on the.
lst day OF August each year. The
required time in which the board is.
given to pay the loan being fifteen
years.
Description Of the Building.
Standing on the brow Of school
house hill, one cannot help noticing
the beautiful picture which is there
presented to the eye, and those OF
old school days whose memory
serves them well cannot help remark
ing. "what wonderful changes the
hand of time has wrought" As we
stand and gaze our minds revert to
the early days. From this point of
view we are enabled to overlook the
where this noble instltu-
tion first had its birth; but we must
not linger with the thoughts of by
gone days, for before US looms the
work of the present day master
mechanic in modern architecture.
Here stands an imposing
structure OF brick and stone, AMI
drawn closer as II by magic, we are
brought face to face with two heavy
oak doors, which seem to bid US
welcome.
Passing through the portals of
this educational shrine we are now
by a wide stairway which
leads to the main floor. From this
point we may begin a tour OF in
spection.
Turning to the right we note two
Railways, on either side of which
may be seen long rows of hooks, con-
the wardrobes for grades
occupying this end OF the building.

SEN. BOONE WANTS
GOOD PRIMARY LAW

"If good direct primary bill
goes through" says State Senator
Boone, "the legislature will prob
ably make the railroad commission
ers and tax commissioners elective
instead of appointive. This is no
reflection on the governor what
ever, for the members that | have
heard discuss this question are
friendly to the governor
IF we get a good primary law
under which the people can have
the hand they should have in the
selection Of candidates for Office,
then | think it would be better to
elect these commissioners and
make them responsible directly to
the people. If we do not get good
direct primary law, then | would
feel that it would be better to let
the law stand as it now is, the gov
ernor appointing the commits
sioners."
Senator Boone has a bill to bring
within the jurisdiction of the state
railroad commission the interurban
railroads of the state.

1t has turned out that little
David Wallace, with his freckled
face, is a joker. David was picked
up on Howard st. by a policeman
Tuesday night. He was lost, so he
said. and his parents had only come
to town few days before. The

him home to eat and gave him a

night happy as clam. He had lots
of fun listening to the rawlings of
Albert Hammer, the insane man,
too.
Desk Sergeant Logan last night
gave David a closer scrutiny than
the other officers and decided the
boy was handing the police a
lemon. At last David admitted that
his father is Larry Wallace, a
Sprague av. barber. David remains

become home-buiiders and to have
their children educated industrially
and in literature also. The Rev.
Hiram Vrooman, Phi. d., president
of the Co-Workers' Fraternity of
Boston, Mass, is at the head of the
project, and aside from mis- humani-
tartan work the Rev. Mr.. Vrooman
is a business man of ability and po-
sition, being the vice president and
director in the Washburn Realty
Trust, Ltd, of Boston, which con-
trolls $4,000,000 of the most central

that city.
DR.. Vrooman and his associates
will secure a large tract of unde-
veloped, but valuable land, some
where in Oregon, buying it at a
wholesale figure. This tract will
then be cut up into acreages for
farming and fruit growing and into
city lots, and these acreages and
lots will be sold at cost to the first
1000 home seekers who become
club members, only a small pay
ment being necessary at the time of
purchase, with easy terms for the
balance, and the householder to re-

value. This increase is insured by
the provision that each home build
er will be required to make certain
improvements each year, and CO

BURN UP STATE.
MONEY

OLYMPIA, Jan. 24.-The state
railroad commission appointed by
Governor Mead has accomplished
a great deal in the way of spend.
ing money, according to the discov-
cries made by the legislative COM
mittees now looking into the COM
missions record. A total exceeding
$4,000 has been paid in salaries
alone to the commissioners and the
help they employed. The bill for
experts amounted to $15,614.
Although Commissioner Nc
MILAN, lately resigned under pres.
sure, lived in Seattle and was ex-
pected to make personal investiga-,
ton into matters pertaining to his
office, it is found that clerks have
been sent repeatedly to Seattle to
obtain railroad information. The
state paid the bill.
The cost of expert services Is
proving a revelation to the investi-
gators. H. F. Gillette drew $1,000
per month for ascertaining the
value of railroad property In the
state. and four others hired to fix
value of trackage drew 5000 per
month each. Several other big
bills were also contracted for ad.
ditional expert testimony work de-
sired by the commission.

STATE FINANCE
IS SERIOUS
PROBLEM

OLYMPIA, Jan. PA knotty
problem was presented to the le-
gislature yesterday when Senator
Groves, of Spokane, called attention
to the fact that the state is now
nearly 100000 beyond its cor,
stiutional limit of indebtedne.
In addition to this, the appropria-
lions committee recommended a do
nation of 100000 to the Seattle eX-
position, with a separate approp-ia-
ton for the state university. Paul
hamus advocated higher salaries for
executive officers Of the state.
A number of suggestions looking
to reduction of expenses and in
creased revenue followed.
Rosenhaupt, of Spokane, favored
fixing a tuition fee of 500 per year
on students attending the state uni
versity and the state college. Jones
argued for the placing of all state
educational institutions under a
single business department. Ruth
suggested that free text books be
cut off from normal schools, and
relatives Of insane be required to
bear the expense of caring for pa
tients if able to do so. Cotterill had
a plan for apportioning state taxes
among the various counties based
on the amount collected for county
purposes.
1t was shown that the most care
full management would be necessary
TO keep the state government free
from financial distress.

Western Star Co., Uniform rank,
Knights of Pythias, will hold its
annual ball at Masonic temple Feb.
10. The proceeds of the ball will
be used for the purpose of defray-
ing the expenses of the contem-
plated trip of the company to Ia

is one of the best drilled Pythian
organizations in the world today.
The Seattle company, which won
first place in New Orleans at the

local company only by the closest
of margins, and many who saw the
competing companies drill at Seat

should have been accorded the Spo-
