that the floors were constructed to
carry a weight OF only % pounds to
the, square foot, whereas they should
be BILE to sustain a weight of at
least 30 pounds. In cities like
Minneapolis the regulations requir-
ed that they be able to sustain a
weight of IS to 120 pounds per
square foot. He recommended
that the floors be reinforced with
Orders and columns, which recon-
mendation the school board in
tends to carry out.

For the State University.

James F. Mccarthy, one of the
regents of the state university, who
attended the meeting of the board
few weeks ago at Boise, says that
plans for rebuilding the main
building of the university at Mos
cow were considered at the meeting,
and in their annual report to the
governor the regents urged him to
recommend in his message to the
legislature that liberal appropri-
alton be made for rebuilding the ad-
ministration building, plans for
which have been accepted and upon
the foundation of which work is
now in progress. According to the
plans the new administration build
ing will be 81 feet long having two
wings, the larger of which will be
$50 deep. The building will be
three stories besides the basement.
Mr.. Mccarthy does not anticipate
much opposition to the necessary
appropriation in the legislature.
The high standing already attained
by the university justifies a large
expenditure, and the new building
and equipment will greatly increase
its efficiency. Idaho Press.

Bob Cat DOwned.

The Mountain Home Kennel club
started out for coyote and other
wild animal hunt Sunday about 10
O'Clock. In the party were Dan
Shelter, Jim Siffert, L. B. Green,
]. d. Whitson, James Tye, Z. M
Wolfe and w. d. Reynolds. There
was plenty of game-in fact it was
too plentiful. The hounds, which
are mostly young ones, would not
stick to a scent once they got it,
but would break and follow up
every other scent covering their
path, with the result that the club
was led very exciting chase for
several hours, with practically no
members over wide area. After
dinner, however, handsome
specimen of the bob cat variety
was brought to bay by the hounds
accompanying Dan Shelter and
Jim Tye, and after short fight
in which il was demonstrated that
( the dogs then present were no
match for the brute, Mr.. Tye sent
a bullet into its head, the ba en-
etering right above the left eye.
This ought to have put a suffi-
cient damper on its ardor, but it
continued to fight desperately, so
another bullet was sent into its left
shoulder, ending its struggles. The
carcass weighed 80 pounds, meas
ured 3s inches from tip to tip, and
the skin is now in possession of
Mr.. Shelter.

A New Light.

"'Bilile" Woods, the expert tin
ner at Stoddard's hardware, has
recently erected one of his patent
acetyline gas machines and has it
on exhibition this week. There are
many of these machines which run
successfully and produce an excel
lent light, but this gentleman has
late patents on his machine which
renders it absolutely safe and simple
and his shut-off attachment makes
it economical and entirely safe for
any one to operate. The light is a
bright, soft one and the cost of
operating is very samll. The Grand
hotel and other business places have
become so favorably impressed with
the light that they have ordered
machines to be installed at an early
date-Nampa Record.

Don't Worry.

The report is circulated that all
construction work of the Beet Sugar
company has ceased. This is true,
don't it always cease in the win
ter time when the snow drives
them out of the mountains. We
presume that Mr.. Garrett knows
best what he is doing and that he
reserves the right without consult
ing the public to close down his
affairs and keep them closed indefi-
nitely. We would also presume
that he has the same right of other
free American citizens, to ride the
train east or west and to, go and
come when he pleases. He is not
made of the material which rims
away, he will live yet to walk
upon the graves of those who SLAM
der him. In the meantime construc-
tion work will continue until every
promise is made good to those who
have purchased land and water
rights and they get exactly wha
they bought.

BOISE YOUNG LADY
BECOMES MRS. STEWART

At IL O'Clock on Christmas morn
ing, at the home of the BRIDES
father, the Rev. H. M. Ellington,
in Boise, Miss Alice Ellington was
united in wedlock to Mr.. Charles
Stewart, the recently elected presi-
dent and manager OF the Mountain
Home Lumber Co. The groom is
very well and favorably known
among a large circle of local busi-
ness and social acquaintances. The
pride is an accomplished young
woman who has for years been
active in the social life of Boise.
She is also deeply interested IN mu-
sic, having played and sung in
church choirs for some time. AL
though the daughter of an Episco-
palian minister, she is herself a
Congregationalist, and takes an ac-
tive part in the church work. The
Maverick, on behalf of the people
of Mountain Home, extends to Mr..
and Mrs. Stewart heartfelt con-
gratulations, and hopes that they
may find their life among us both
pleasant and profitable.
They are stopping at the TurneI
House until the spring, when Mr.
Stewart will erect a house of hi:

two towns' 1t is just this: The
citizens in the first town are at the

you should like their town, for
they want you to buy land, they
want you to build home. They
tell you theirs is the only town on

energy and you make it your home,
and the first thing you know you
are at the depot with others, boost
ing. 1t is simply in the atmosphere,
you get the habit; you can't help it.
Now at the other town the train
stops; passengers get off to exercise
a moment; a few old fogies are
standing around the depot. Yor

Boys And The Saloon,

views of a half dozen school boys about
stopping a saloon near the school build
ing. He said:
We'll, I'm going to let the boys Of the
school tell me what they think Of the
place"
The next day half a dozen Of the boys,
ranging from ten to fifteen years of age,
called on the mayor. Each boy gave
on reason why he believed the saloon
ought to be taken away, until it came to
the last one, a youngster of twelve. He
looked at the mayor squarely in the eye,
and gave as his reason:
my school gives me a chence to be
mayor Of Boston some day; the saloon
can't. think us boys ought to have all
the show we can get to be mayor. That's
all l know about it,"
The mayor threw himself back in his
chair and laughed heartily; then straight
ening up, he said to the last spokesman:
my boy, you have said more than did
all the politicians and the teachers. You
shall have the show to be mayor. That
saloon will have to quit business at
once"
The boys gave the mayor a hearty
cheer, and marched IL Of his office.

A Big Coon Hunt.

DR.. D. l.. Williams, Gene Moore,
Herbert Long, Winnie Oliver, Of this
city, and Ben Huffman, a noted coon
hunter, OF southwest OF town, had a
regular jolly time OF it last Saturday
night. They hunted, and hunted,
and just kept hunting until they
struck the Spears cave, 10 miles
southwest of town, without as much
as raising a screech owl. and when
they had about given up all hope for
that time, the dogs set up a terrible
bowling and soon had Mr.. Coon up a
tree. d. L., by his terrific yelling,
heard all over the four adjoining coun-
ties, scared Mr.. Coon down when he
proceeded to whip all the dogs, and
came near cleaning up the boys also,
but they stuck to him until they, had
him thoroughly paralyzed. They
weighed his coonship, we suppose on
selling scales, and he pulled them
