OOLBEGINSMONDAY
A Splendid Corps of Teach
ers Have Been Engaged.

!. The city schools will open for bust
ness Monday morning for nine
months term. Many of the teach
ers are already in the city, and the
others are expected by Saturday
night.
The corps of instructors have been
carefully selected and it is believed
only the best have been secured.
Prof. L. O.. Barry is retained as sup
erintendent. Miss Oliver, principal
of High school and Miss Grace Car
Teton of Boise, assistant; Miss Ella
Breshears, Eighth grade; Miss Alice
Holverson, principal of old school
building and teacher of Seventh
grade; Mrs. Clara Leiby of Cedar
Falls, Neb., Miss Mannon of Boise,
Miss Rose Carl of Missoula, Mont,
Miss Edna Peterson of Harlan,
Iowa, will have charge of grades
Six, Five and Four, the latter prob
ably being divided into two sections;
Miss Lynn Judd, Third; Miss Laura
Love, Second; Mrs. Seamans and
Miss Noble, primary. Mr.. and Mrs.
j. w. Tyler have been selected for
the South Side school and Miss Ora
Keithley for the East Side.
One more year has been added to
the High School course and grad
yates from it will be eligible to the
Freshman class of the State Univer-
sity. This has necessitated the EN-
ployment of another teacher in that
department and the school board
believes good selection was made
in Miss Carleton. She comes highly
recommended. 1t is probable a
physical labortory will be fitted up|
this year and equipped with appa-
ratus.
A number of improvements have
been made to the buildings during
vacation. The roof of the High
school building has been provided
with oyerhanging caves, which will
effsctually prevent further damage
by water. The floors in every room
in all four buildings have been thor
oughly oiled to prevent dust from
raising A hood has also been built
over the south door of the same
building to keep the rain from beat
ing in. These improvements were
made at cost of about $500.

The concert in the M. E. church
by the Plymouth male quartet drew
a very small crowd, although it de-
derived a good attendance. The
singers labored under difficulties,
the organist being unable to appear,
and the unfinished condition of the
church spelling the sound. The
leader, C. E. Patterson, has a Won
derfally powerful and well trained
voice and he is talented musician.

Tons of Rails Ordered.

A Salt Lake dispatch dated Aug.
| %, says: The statement that the
Idaho & Northern railroad (taken
to mean the Dewey line now running
from Nampa to Emmett) has order
ed 5000 tons of steel rails from the
United States Steel Corporation to
be delivered during 1908 has caused
more or less gossip among railroad
men here. These do not claim to
know any thing definite about the
plans of Mr.. Dewey, but they do
know that the Idaho & Northern
does not require retracking They
very easily conclude that the new
rail are TO be used for an extension.
One of them got busy with pen
ell and figured it out this way.
Probably these rails are not heavier
than 60 pounds, that is, rails that
weigh 60 pounds to the yard, Each
rail is ten yards long and weighs
600 pounds. For mile of road it
would require 176 rails on each side
of the ties or 352 in all. If the
Dewep road is to use 5000 tons in
extensions it could lay about SO miles
of track. Where to? That is the
next question. The railroad auth
ority referred to said: Into the
timber"
This gentleman also stated that
there was possibility that the order
of 5000 pounds of steel rains, stated
to be for the Idaho & Northern
might after all, be for the Pacific &
Idaho Northern, now running north
from Weiser. My own idea is
that there is no intention of extend
ing the Dewey road from Emmett
next year, but do think the pin
road will be pushed northward," he
said. There is a big fight on be
tween rival railroad interests. and
has been for some time, over the
possession of the sttategic position
of the PIN" railroad. and it is my
belief that some very strong interest
behind the PIN" has decided to
build the road northward to con-
nection with transcontinental line.

There Wa. Only One.

Last Friday, after the people on
the Slope had read their Index, they
kept Charlie Anderson busy with
their congratulations and condol-
ences. By mistake, The Index
credited him with two boy babies,
one on Monday and another on Tues
day. As this Great Family Guides
reputation for veracity is so well
established, Mr.. Anderson could not
be convinced that an error had been
made until he had made personal
examination of the bed in which re-
posed the mother and babe. But
then, remarked the proud father,
hes worth two ordinary babies. +"
