BIG ADDITION PLANNED
FOR SCHOOL BUILDING

amply able to hold another story. The
cost of making the Improvement Will
not be very great.
The appearance of the building
would be greatly enhanced In It's at
tractiveness and the district would
have five additional rooms at Its dis
posal.
There is but little doubt but that
the Improvement Will be ordered
made as soon as possible.
Each year the question of ample
room to care for the always lncreas-
ing ranks of school children confronts
the directors of the Grand Junction
district. An addition to the Whit
tier building had to be made to keep
up with the natural growth In at
tendance that occurred during the
school year now ending and the board
finds itself up against the same prob
lem for next year. The plan to erect
n third story on the Emerson build
ing solves the problem and Will pro
vide ample accommodations for the
army OF school children that viii
appear for enrolment when school
opens next September.
The directors from all indications
look upon the proposition with IA
vor and It is generally approved by
all citizens who have been acquainted
with the proposition.

flowing with beautiful flowers from
Eastern Star lodges and Masonic lod-
ges in Santa Barbara and other cit
les.
The passing of the funeral train
across the country will be marked
by many beautiful and impressive
features. Masonic lodges all along
the route are preparing to express
their sorrow by sending flowers
to the railroad stations to be put on
board the train as it passes through.
Notwithstanding the safeguards and
precautions that have been taken the
fear of another wreck is still upper
most in the minds of many of those
on the train, unnerved as they are by
their terrible experience of last Sat
urday.
About twenty Shriners and relativ-
es of the dead are aboard the train
which will make the rapid trip across
the country.

r FALLS TO the lot OF few medical
men to be claimed by Davy Jones
and yet TO slip through his fingers
Such an experience Is never to he
forgotten.
A bright June sun was gllnting off tn ,
choppy water tapping the rocky coast
The local swimming club was alive
with members taking their morning
plunge. The spot | had chosen for my
dip WAS the inlet to cave, into which
the waves broke continuously, return
ing in a swift undercurrent OF back
wash. Barely ten feet Of water d.
vided the rocky banks of the inlet,
which was about the extent of my abil
ity to swim. | was ignorant Of the
fact that the treacherous underourrent
made the spot dangerous even for eX-
lerienccd swimmers.
Sliding from the rocky bank, struck
out with all the confidence of inexperi-
ence and in about thirty strokes
reached the opposite bank.
Splendid" / thought as | climbed
up the rocks.
The shouts and laughter of the club
men seemed 20 echo my eXultation as
| surveyed the miniature Hellespont
| had crossed. Swimming was the
easiest thing in the world / thought,
as | plunged in again to swim back.
But this time | struck deeper water.
Try how ! might / could not keep time
with hands and feet frog fashion, as
had been told was the art of swimming.
And even while ] was making this dis
covery. the opposite ledge of rock be-
gan to slide literally before me. |
was being carried out TO sea.
As the outermost peak OF rock
slipped past me and only open sea app
peared between me and the pier In the
distance, | grew frightened. Frantic
ally / tore and splaShed at the yield
ing water. blowing hard for breath
against the binding spray.
An incoming wave Tapped gently over
me, overwhelming eyes. ears, nose,
mouth The briny liquid stung my
THROAT. humping into my stomach
with the weight OF a cannon ball. In
a second the wave had passed. and my
head was again above water. Half
choked / gurgled and spat heavily as
/ began that awful struggle for air
The heavy water rose and fell above
my eyes and mouth. Every muscle of
my body was fighting desperately for
life But claw and kick as / might.
my frantic thrashings served but to
keep my head bobbiug like cork
above the surface.
Tighter and tighter, with the yielding
heaviness of quicksilver, the water
Of animal brutishness filled my brain.
The water slapping me in the face
Knocked at my passion. The strong brine
stung my eyes almost to blindness. My
legs numb and powerless, were as
Ieaden weights dragging me down
My arms hung helpless from sheer ia
