Troy weekly news. (Troy, Idaho) 1897-1933, 1907-06-28

At the mass meeing held in the
school house Friday evening, and at
tended by a representative crowd Of
Troy citizens, the matter Of new
brick school house for Troy was dis
cussed at length. Expressions from
all present were had, with the net re-
suit that not one present was opposed
to the proposed imorovment. 1t was
admitted that the new building, with
more room, must be built at once or
the plans for high school for Troy
dropped. And no one wanted to see
the school stop growing and education
al advantages of the town crippled.
After full discussion Of the matter the
chair, filled by D. M. Eckman, was
instructed to appoint committee Of
three to further investigate the matter
in regard to the cost Of the proposed
building, and the amount of money
the district can raise by bonding for
this purpose. w. M. Duthie, F. M.
Green and Olof Olson were appointed
as the committee with instructions to
call another meeting as soon a they
are able to report along the lines in
dicated. 1t is thought advisable to
build an eight room brick, finishing up
now only as many rooms as absolutely
necessary, and more as needed and the
district able. 1t was found that the
new building cannot possibly be con-
structed in time for the coming term,
and that the work will need to be
pushed if made ready for the fall term
of 1908.

Got Poisoned. -

Cal Vowel, living just south Of town,
was badly poisoned from spraying his
orchard with arsenate of lead two weeks
ago. After doing the spraying his
hands began to swell up and for ten
days have caused Mr.. Vowel terrible
misery, but the worst is now over, and
he is on the road to recovery. Some
of the poison got on his neck and that
too broke out in red blotches but gave
him little trouble.

THE NEW INSURANCE AGENT.
He Comes In With the New Law-PsuI
Morton on His Opportunity.

The new insurance law of the State
of New York has opened up promis-
ing field for both men and women
with brains and energy in the sale Of
life insurance. The law now provides
standard forms of policies, each of
which practically bears the hall mark
of the State of New York, and this new
order of things has established the
sale of life insurance on correct
basis.
The prohibition against rebating and
extrayagant allowances to agents has
driven out of the business the old
type of insurance agent, who in many
cases virtually bought business, with
large rebates, instead of selling it.
His place is being taken by profess
sors, lawyers, school teachers of both
sexes, and others, who find that being
a life insurance agent under the new
system offers greater reward than
their previous vocations. The law has
reduced commissions but all of the
commission now goes to the agent
Life insurance is something that
everyone needs and under the pres
ent system its sale is being conducted
with becoming dignity and propriety.
Paul Morton, president of the Equita-
BILE Life Assurance Society has taken
the lead in building up an agency or
ganization that is in keeping with the
demands of public sentiment, and the
standard he has set for his company.
He says: 1--WE want new agents, both
men and women, but none except en-
ergetic, able and truthful people need
apply. For such there is a splendid
opportunity"
Mr. Morton's policy of injecting new
and vigorous blood into the agency
force of the Society is meeting with
success in all parts of the country.

"'Nay, nay, nay!' said the arch

condemn utterly, but if thou bringest

Ghosts of Dead Lakes.

In the great basin between the
Rockies and the Sierra Nevadas lie
the ghosts of many dead lakes. Riv-
ers still flow down to the dry edge OF
these one-time great reservoirs and
are licked up by evaporation and the
chinook winds. Of all the lakes that
once lay there, only Great Salt Lake,
Lake Tahoe and Bear Lake are left.
The Southern Pacific rolls for 165
miles across the bed of what was once
Lake Lahontan, and the passengers
gazing idly from the windows may see
the terraces and wrinkles in the crust
of the fossil lake which nature robbed
and defrauded of its crystal treasures

track teams was held at Van Ness Park
yesterday afternoon. and resulted in
victory for the junior class OF the
washington School Of Engineering over
al other competitors for the handsome
trophy donated by Meyer p Co. to the
class scoring the most points.
The winners reached Il points, which
was slightly over twice SIS great as
that OF their nearest rivals. the sopho-

scored % points. The other classes
made the following totals: College 10.
Z points, college 90. II points; law 90,

On account Of the cold weather, which
rendered things extremely uncomfort-
able for the spectators, not TO mention
the contestants, not as large a crowd as
had been expected turned out to see the
games and the entry list was not as
large as the management had looked
forward 10. The times and the dis
tances made were not up to notch form,
but the athletes are excusable when the
extenuating circumstances are taken
into consideration

when he captured tho two-mile race
from Gill, ais, crack distance man, by
a margin of Fifteen yards. after rfnning
stride for stride with his man for nine
laps. Gill had just finished the half
mile race a few moments before, or the
race would have been a heart-breaking
one, with the winner not picked until

with Captain Lorando second. Great

when the time was announced as p 10

1t was afterward discovered, how
ever, that the distance was several
yards short.
High Jump Drawing Card.
The high jump proved the best draw
ing card of the afternoon and the con-
testants were all well punched until
the very end. whiting finally won out
with a jump OF five feet four inches.
The relay race which had been put
at the last Of the program as the star
attraction failed to materialize on ac-
count OF the fact that only one team,
that OF Columbian College was ready
