In accordance with the motion
previously adopted that the three
receiving the highest number OF
votes should be the nominees of the
caucus; G. F. Richardson, J. K.
DePriest and S. 7. Laird were de-
clared the nominees by the Chair
man.
Chairman Cresswell then stated
that the question of establishing
kindergarten department had been
up for consideration by the old
board and because there was large
representation of patrons present he
would call the question up for dis
cussion. Mr.. Frank Kelly who has
had many years of experience on
school boards and in districts where
the kindergarten is a regular depart
ment was called on by the chairman.
Mr.. Kelly strongly favored the es-
tablishment of a kindergarten. If
once put in the schools he would
guarantee it would become per-
manent feature of the Kennewick
schools. In the east where he had
been director, the particular ward
he represented, was most pronounc-
ed in opposition to the introduction
of the kindergarten Mr.. Kelly took
the position with his constituents
that trial should be made and
then if it was found unsatisfactory,
the department. could be discontinue
ed at the end of the year. But long
before the year was up the opposers
had become the warm friends of the
kindergarten. On account of this
experience Mr.. Kelly said he would
guarantee that if once adopted, the
kindergarten wonld become per-
manent department of our public
schools. The kindergarten enabled
the child to accomplish so much
more throughout the entire school
period. The kindergarten work
gave tone and enthusiasm to the
school life of the pupil. The expense
of establishing a kindergarten was
not large. The equipment for the
music and other paraphrenalia need
not require heavy expense at all.
The benefits would be greater in
proportion to cost than any other
department. He hoped the meet
ing would take action looking to the
authorization of a kindergarten.
Superintendent Nelson also spoke,
pointing out that the additional
expense would be slight. A kinder
garten teacher we already have in
the corp and her services can easily
be secured. In order to have the
best s.hcOls-schOols such as we
should have We must have the kim
iergartcn. J. Sercombe had only
one objection to mention and that
was that all the money raised by a
levy as high as the law would permit
would hardly furnish funds to carry
on the schools as at present and pro-
vide the room needed for the rapid
ly increasing school population.
The board were most familiar with
the financial situation of the district
and knowing the exact status of
affairs might not be willing to put
in the new department in the i'm
mediate future. Attorney Humph-
rey also advocated the new depart
ment in Il few words and concluded
by making a motion that it was the
sense of this meeting that the new
board at its early convenience take

COOKED FOOD SALE
A GRAND SUCCESS
Artemesia Ladies Net Neat Sum
For Purchase Of Drinking Foun-
tain for Public School.

The ladies Of the Artemesia
Mothers Club feel highly elated
over the success of their first
cooked food sale, held on Sat-
ureay Of last week at Hawkins
department store. The demand
for the home cooked edibles
was very brisk, and soon ex-
hausted the supply. The days
receipts were further augment
ed by a donation from the
Eastern Star of $1,000, and
from Mr.. Hawkins of $5.15,
this being five per cent of the
days sales at his store, and
given in accordance with a pre-
vious agreement.
The ladies plan to conduct
another sale in the near future,
and hope by this means, and
with such donations as are made
in the future, to raise enough
money to install in the school
house an up-to-date sanitary
drinking fountain.

At the last meeting of the
Village Board, Captain S. G.
Rhoades presented his resigna-

it being understood that he was
to do SO in order that he might
legally enter into a contract
with the city to do the survey
ing for the proposed sewerage
system. The resignation was
not accepted at the time, but
undoubtedly will be at the next
meeting. Already there are
number of quite active candi-

the remaining members will

ing was the work of DR.. Weth-
erell on the clarionet, who was
enthusiastically encored. Mes
danes Eaton and Briegleb, and
Mrs. w. T. Montgomery are
we'll known to Mountain Home
audiences, and to say that their
efforts excelled even their best
previous performances, is to
characterize their work as first
class. The male quartette, COM
posed Of Messrs. Adair, McWil-
liams, Roland and Marhoffer,
also pleased the audience, but
being first on the program, and
not yet used to singing togeth-
er, they did not do themselves
full justice.
The audience was not as large
as the character of the enter
tainment given deserved, but
the Board cleared almost $50
for the use of the library, and
on the whole is to be highly
congratulated on the result of
it's labors.

GRAND BALL AT
HUNCERFORD HALL
Volunteer Firemen Will Entertain
on Thanksgiving Evening in
Fitting Fashion.

The Firemen's Benefit Grand
Ball at Hungerford Hall on
Thanksgiving evening promises
to be the social event of the
season, and all who trip the
light fantastic are planning to
be there. The hall is being
specially prepared for the occa-
sion, and the floor Is guaran-
teed to be as near perfect as
time and money can make it.
The fact that the affair is being
given for the benefit of the fire
department adds to the popular
interest, and the boys find the
sale of tickets comparatively
easy. From present indications
not lecs than l5O will be sold,
but it is not likely that so many
couples will attend, as many
buy simply to help along a good
cause. Mountain Home has
every reason to feel proud of
her volunteer firemen, and now
that there is an opportunity to
give them substantial assistance
in their work, it is to be hoped
that no one will be backward.

ATLANTA ROAD IS
REPORTED CLOSED
Statesman Correspondent Advocates
Change Of Mail Route and An
nexation to Ada County.

The following appeared in
the Statesman of Thursday, and
indicates in a measure the pres
ent attitude Of Atlanta people
toward the rest of Elmore coun-
ty. Mountain Home merchants
will note especially the proposed
change Of mail route.
"It may be Of interest, es-
pecially to teamsters, to know
that the Bagdad-Chase and
Minerva Mining companies, to-
gether with the merchants OF
Atlanta are preparing to keep
the new road between Boise
and Atlanta open for teams all
winter. A force of men is be-
ing constantly kept at work on
this road, repairing it where
necessary and building stations
along the route where food and
supplies will be laid in for use
during the winter months. The
old Mountain Home road is
practically impossible now be-
tween this place and Rocky
Bar on account of snow and ice,
which has accumulated on the
steep grades on the high noun
tains, while the new road from
Boise to this place is getting in
better condition every time a
team goes over it. Many freight
teams are now taking the new
road and have no trouble to
reach Atlanta from Boise with
big loads in four or five days.
'The Percy brothers came ir
today over the new road with
two heavy four-horse loads Of
supplies from Boise to the At
lanta Supply company. They
made the trip in four and one
fourth days. To make this
same trip over the old Noun
tain Home road it would take
at least double the time.
"No longer will Atlanta be
shut off from the outside worle
~from six to eight months OF the
year. No longer will her gooe
people be compelled to ask 1o1
improvements which they never
get on the old road to Noun
tain Home. If all this portion
of Elmore county which lie'
north of the high mountain
ronge north of Rocky Bar wa
segrated from Elmore connt!
and annexed to Ada county i
would be a great benefit to th'
people of this section and 0.
the utmost Importance to ADJ
county,
"A petition has already beef
sent to Washington asking tina
the mail to this place b.
changed and come in over tn
new road from Boise instead O
from Mountain Home, which i
a dangerous and unsafe rout'
during the winter months OF
account Of the many avalanches
Two mail carriers lost thei
lives on this old route last win
ter which would not have hap
pened if the mail came iron
Boise. The new road is SAT
from snowslides and there ar
no mountains to cross as is tn
case with the old route. 1t i
TO be hoped the governmen
ywill look at this in the rlgh
LIGHT and give US the change i
the mail route. When this
cone we will see what can b
