PLANS LAID FOR
NEW HIGH SCHOOL
Active Work on New Building
viii Begin During the
Present Year.
HOUSES ARE TO BE SOLD.
THOSE OCCUPYING FUTURE SITE
OF NEW BUILDING TO BE
RAzED-ARcHITEc WORKING
ON PRELIMINARiES.

On August 20 the two houses on the
North Ninth street lots recently pur-
chased by the school board will be
sold at public sale. These houses are
in the rear of the Garfield school
building. They will be sold with the
understanding that they shall be re-
moved within thirty days on the or
der of the school board.
Lee B. Nusbaum, member OF the
school board, states that the work OF
making the excavation and, probably
the laying of the foundation OF the
new addition to the Garfield school
will start some time this fall. The
new building will be ready for occu-
pancy at the opening of the fall term
next year." stated Mr.. Nusbaum. The
construction on the building proper
will not be started until the early
spring of 1909
When the addition is completed the
enlarged school building will be used
for the high school. The informed
late grades at the Garfield school VIII
be transferred to the present high
school building. The board plans to
make the new high school one of the
largest and by far the most modern
and best equipped in the state.
Several architects have been asked
to submit preliminary plans for the
new building. After the board has
reviewed these plans it will decide or
the architect who will prepare the
complete plans for the building stat
ed Mr.. Nusbaum. 1t is expected thai
the contract for the plans will be LEI
some time this fall. 1t cannot be es
timated at the present time what the
expense of the new building will be-"
An interesting question will con
front the board now that it has de
cided to enlarge the Garfield schoo
building and make it the high school
This question is-shall the new higl
school be called the Garfield higl
school or will the present high schoo
building be called the Garfield school
It is certain the school children ant
the former students at the Garfield
school will insist that the old nam,
be retained in one way or the other.

MAP OF TERRITORIAL DAYS
Relic IL Dug Up at Court House
showing Douglas County In
Early Times.

An ancient map. a relic OF territorial days,
has been unearthed by County surveyor
Beal and has attracted considerable atten-
ton at the court house. There is no date
on II. but its age is attested by the fact
that towns that nave been dead for years
appear on It as flOurishing cities and that
no railroads are shown il Is a map OF
Douglas county prepared evidently from
the first government survey.
The map shows the river running through
what Is now Cut-On lake. Between Omaha
and Florence there appears the survey Of
a large town designated as Saratoga. About
ten miles west Of Omaha or what 10 now
the Leavenworth road is a town called
Dryden, and seven miles west OF that, Is
another village. Chicago. On the site where
the Elk City postoffice now stands there
is a double city. one designated as Elkhorn
City and the other as EIkhorn.
Several wagon roads are shown traversing
the county, evidently along the lines Of
least resistance. Among these are the road
to Fort Calhoun. the Military road 10 Fort
Kearny. a road from Elkhorn TO Bellevue.
another known as the Mormon road 10 Salt
Lake and one designated the territorial
rosd to Dakota
The map belonged TO a collection bought
BY the County from George Smith. an early
surveyor. II had fallen behind a file case
in the office and had been hidden for
years.
