leading artists of the present day have
shared stellar aurels with Mr.. Hanford.
Inasmuch as The Tanning of the Shrew

room 72x74 feet and Is feet high, with
out pillar or projecting truss to spoil
it's appearance. In the mbly room
are now 80 seats, but this number can
be increased to $50 by making the aisles
slightly narrower. Two large and we'll
appointed cloak rooms flank the assem-
bly, room. Besides the rooms mentioned,
there are on the first floor the principals
office equipped with commodious vault,
a rest room for the lady teachers, the
library and two recitation rooms Every
recitation room is equipped with seats
for 80 pupils. The second floor contains
six ordinary recitation rooms, large
science lecture room with part of the
floor in rising tiers, and opening from
this lecture room are two laboratories.
The gymnasium, 77x48 feet, occupies the
basement under the wing, and in the
rest of the basement story are manual
training room, a domestic science room,
two toilets, boys and girls locker rooms,
the former equipped with shower baths,
aud the fan room and plenum chamber
from which the fresh air is forced by a
huge ventiIating fan to every part of the
building. AS is probably generally
known, the building is heated by steam
from the waterworks pumping station,
carried in pipes through concrete tun-
mel, thus doing away with the dirt and
danger Incidental to having heating
plant in the structure itself.
The cost of this splendid school build
ing was SOL 200 The equipment, such
light fixtures, call system, shades, desks
and seats, was ST. ,623 more, making the
cost of the completed building $62,623.

Quality has been the determining fac

A New Record in railroad Building.

The Chicago, Milwaukee & ST. Paul
Railway has just extended the train SER
vice on it's new Pacific Coast extension
as far west as Terry, Montana.
Here the new line crosses the Yellow
stone river for the first time. At present
trains are in operation as far west as
Marmarth, North Dakota, l91 miles be-
yond the Missouri river. This extension
carries the new train service about one
hundred miles farther west.
Train service between Aberdeen and
Marmarth is daily, except Sunday, and
between Marmarth and Terry, daily.
The record of the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Paul Railway, in building its Pa
cific Coast extension, has never been
equaled in the matter of time by any
similar undertaking. Track is now be-
ing laid at the rate Of five miles per day,
and the east and west track laying forces
in Montana will soon meet in the vicin-
ity of Miles City. 1t is confidently ex-
pected that trains over the new trans
continental line will be operated from
Chicago to Butte, Montana. by May,
1908, and to Seattle and Tacoma, Wash
ington, about one year later.

MANY FARMERS STILL HOLDING WHEAT

Though II cents is now being offer
ed for club wheat there is a decided
tendency on the part Of the farmers
to wait for a higher figure and nearly
a million bushels of Umatilla county's
last wheat crop is still in first hands.
From indications it will so remain
until the approach Of summer.
The fact that much wheat is still
held by growers is largely due to the
fact that the market went to pieces
during the furry in October and at
that time but about half the wheat of
the county had been disposed of. Be-
fore the panic came on the price had
gone as high as rs cents though the
bulk of the wheat was sold at 20.
When the market opened up again
following the close of the holidays,
many growers refused to take a price
lower than what they could have got
ten previously. There has been
general belief that the scarcity of
wheat will make higher prices inevi-
table and many seem willing to wait
and take the chance.
But according to the buyers, the
better prices, IL they come, are liable
to prevail so late in the season that
growers will gain little by holding
their crops. In the meantime they
will have to pay storage, 10 cents per
ton a month, and also, insurance, If
they have their wheat insured. In
