Troy weekly news. (Troy, Idaho) 1897-1933, 1908-04-03

Plans for a new school house have
been submitted by one of the leading
architects of Spokane. They provide
for six room building, two stories
with basement, so arraged that at any
time, with out loss or damage, two ad-
ditional rooms can be added. The
plan provides for wide halls, large
stairs, cloak rooms, and library; also
used as principals room, and four
rooms 27x32 and two rooms 24x32
This will accommodate 336 pupils.
Front and rear entrances are provided,
and very comfortable and pretty
building planned. The estimated cost
is placed at between $4,000 and $4,000,
with $1400 for heating plant, which
can be installed at any time.
During the past year the district has
been compelled to provide room out
side the school house, paying $40 a
month for the Christian church, and as
much more for a janitor. AS the pop
ulation is sure to grow, even this
arrangement will not meet the require
ments of the district long. This ought
to be considered and have some
weight. 1t is proof that the time is
near when larger and better house
will have to be built regardless of what
some may like or desire. We may
postpone but we cannot long evade
the necessity. Why not, then, do it
now?
The News would call attention to al
least one fact that every resident Of the
district ought to consider before voting
against bonds tomorrow. 1t will have
to be admitted that the present build
ing regardless OF what we may do, will
soon have to be rebuilt. 1t may serve
a year or two, but it can serve as
school house very little longer. Rick
ETY. as it is, time and storm will not be
long in forcing the district to build re
gardless of what anyone may think. A
good hard wind would forever settle
the question. And if the district mus
soon build why not do it now. VIII,
not do something before fire or win'
compels US to act?
Another fact to consider is the in
auence new school house would hav
upon property values. One ptominen
citizen of the district said " A goo
J school house would increase the valu
of my home. In case I should wan
to sell the matter of good publ
B school would make it easier to find
. buyer. I want to see the district pu
-. up a decent building
The News has not room to quote tn

\ practically no opposition, outside tn
/. extreme south end of the district.

we had the increase of salaries OF the
County Commissioners from $500 to

anything else in regard tn our roads
is first n system, second brains aud
honesty 10 carry ont that system which
! know We have in the county. II is
reported that the Commissioners in
tend to sell the roads To the lowest
bidders We tried that plan once and
il would not do. The lowest bidder
simply skinned the roads so as to
make al they could out OF il. We
never had better plan than when we
had supervisors Tor the different dis
trictS: let them be elected to their
office mot appointed Tor some dirty
political work they have donc) to see
that when man goes on the road to
work day he docs not charge for
two, or that lie takes his team with
him when only shovel is all he wants;
and further, that there is not $50 worth
OF work placed on little strip OF road
where $40 would have been enough.

state that il was and is physically i'm

Quaint Methods of the Early Days Of

In the early days of the settlement of
New England the custom of sending
packages by neighbOrS who journeyed
to different parts of the country was
an established one. The notebook of
Schoolmaster Joseph Hawley of North
ampton, Mass. when he started on a
trip to Boston was filled with such
varied items as: Captain Partridge, a
dial and dish KETTLE" "Son Joseph,
speckled red ribbon. whistles, buckles
and fishhooks;" "a shilling worth of
plumb and spice" 50 Two psalters, ba-
son and quart pot" In "Old Paths
and Legends OF the New England Bor-
der" Katherine NJ. Abbott says that it
was the same even as late as Judge
Lyman's day. His daughter, Mrs
Lesley, writes Of it in 'RecOllections OF
My Mother::''
There were no expresses then, and
SO when it was known in the village
OF Northampton that Judge and Mrs
Lyman were going to Boston-and they
always took pains to make it known
q throng of neighbors were coming In
the whole evening before not only to
take an affectiOnate leave, but to bring
parcels of every size and shape and
commissions of every variety.
One came with a dress she wanted
to send to a daughter at school; one
brought patterns of dry goods, with a
request that Mrs. Lyman would pur-
chase and bring home dresses for a
family Of five And would she go tO
the orphan asylum and see if a good

There is a prevailing notion with a
certain class of poultrymen that it
doesn't pay to force laying fowls dur
ing the warm summer months-that
they will get along very we'll with or
binary food and what they can pick
up about the yards. That this opinion
is not shared by the most progressive
poultrymen is shown by the fact that
