Not Given Up Fight.

Washington, ID. c., April 17.-That
Herman Ridder of New York, presi-
dent of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers association, has not abandoned
the fight to have wood pulp and print
paper placed on the free list is indi-
Gated by the fact that he conferred
yesterday with Representative Watson,
the republican whip" of the house, on
the subject.
Should See Democrats.
Watson told Ridder that personally
he favored the proposal and suggested
that Rider make an effort to induce
the democratic senators to agree that
if the wood pulp and print paper bill
reached the senate it should be per-
mitted to pass without amendment.
Bidder Will Act.
He said that if such an agreement
is made he thought there would be lit
tie difficulty in passing the bill. Rid
der announced his intention of taking
the matter up with the democratic SEN
ators.

Many Ugly Stories.
Now that Tomson is dead, there are

how many are true it is impossible to

SCHOOL. ELECTIONS OCCUR
24TH OF NEXT MONTH
Lane VIII Also Probably Vote on
$1,000 Bond Issue for New
building.

On May "a. being the fourth Mon
day in May in the years of even
number. election of school trustees in
all portions of the county will be
held. while special elections. notably
in Lane City, will be held for the pur-
pose of voting school bonds for the
erection of new buildings.
Thomas Sillyman and d. p. Curto,
members of the board of school
trustees. we're in Ely yesterday from
Lane for the purpose of discussing
with the district attorney the advisa-
bility of holding the bond election
and the trustee election on the same
day and time. Upon advice of Mr..
Eddy, they decided to do so and will
announce it in few days. The cleo
tion there will be for the purpose of
electing three trustees and voting
$4,000 in bonds for erection of a
new building.
A new school building is badly
needed at Lane. according to state
ment of Mr.. Sillyman. The new
building as planned would afford ac-
commodations for 80 pupils, which
would take care of the district for
several years. In Ely an election
will also be held. AS yet no candi-
dates have announced themselves for
the position of trustee and the cleo
tion promises to be merely formal.
