stop the gambling at the Meadows.
The racing forces will not give up
without a fight, however, and they
will have for their support a respec-
table element of the community who
want the Meadows to be open during
the Alaska-Yukon-Pacific exposition.
The stockholders of the Meadows
make a fortune every year, and had
expected to make a big killing dur
ing the exposition, all of which Han
son promises to cut off.
Hanson has begun statewide
campaign and is enlisting the aid of
all the newspapers, ministers and re-
form associations to bring pressure
to bear on their representatives and
senators to pass the bill, which is
now being drawn.
Hanson has the assurance OF Geo.
F. Vandeveer, the prosecuting attor-
ney-elect of King county, that any
law the legislature will pass to pro-
hibit racetrack gambling will be en-
forced to the letter and Hanson says
enough members of the lower house
of the legislature have pledged
themselves to him to insure the pas
sage of his measure. The senators,
however. have been non-committal,
| and it is expected that the big fight
will be in the upper house.

SCHOOL ELECTION
NEXT SATURDAY
QUESTION OF CHANGE OF HIGH
SCHOOL SITE INVOLVED-MASS
MEETING AND BOND ELECTION
LATER.

About year ago the voters of this
school district authorized the school
board to buy certain lots in Grand
view addition to Wenatchee for high
school site. This carried almost una
nimously at the time. The board
purchased the site, which was then
considered to be the best to be had
at the time in central location.
Now that the time of building the
high school is at hand it is found
that the site bought is not large
enough to satisfy the needs of the
community. While it is large enough
to take care of the building alone,
| it will not allow space for much en-
largement of the building, which may
be necessary before many years.
Another site a short distance far
Their west in Grand View addition
may now be had at reasonable fig
ures. But under the terms of the law
| it is necessary that the board be au-
thorized to dispose of this old site
before the matter of a new one can
be taken up.
For this reason special school
election has been called for next Sat
urday, December 9Th, notices thereof
having been posted for several days
The election will be held at the Sal
walton Army hall from l to s p. m.
Women as we'll as men may vote at
this election, ana the vote includes
all in the school district-not merely
those in the city.
1t is thought that the change in the
site will appeal to all as proper
hing to do at this time. The site
bought last year can be disposed of
at a price that includes purchase
price and interest, so that the district
will lose nothing by the investment.
On the other hand; it is now possible
to buy another site on very good
terms This proposed site will be
sufficiently large that the space. not
Immediately needed for school pur-
poses can be used as an athletic
grounds to good advantage. This will
place the athletics directly under the
constant supervision of the school
authorities thing that has not
heretofore been possible. The sue
cess of the high school boys this year
in football shows that we have the
right kind of material to make a win
ming team, but We cannot expect to do
more than at present except by hav-
ing better facilities for training.
A school meeting of the electors of
the district will be held at an early
date to pass on several questions that
must be decided by the electors. The
questions submitted will be practical
ly as follows:
/. Shall the board be authorized to
buy site for a grade school in the
south end OF the district? (Near Pa
doshek's or Pools places.)
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1908-12-01

feet of floor space. We expect 1885,
900 visitors during the week.
"Thirty-seven states in the Union,
four provinces in Canada, and Eng
land, Germany, France, Norway and
Japan have sent exhibits. The chief
competition will be in the car load
class, the prize being $500, to
which may be added from $500 to
100000 for the fruit We have offers
of from $40 to $25 box for the
prize-winning exhibit and the entire
proceeds will go to the grower"
The Wenatchee daily world. [volume] (Wenatchee, Wash.) 1905-1971, 1908-12-01
/. Shall the board be authorized

2. Shall the board be authorized
to erect grade schol building on
said south end site?
3. Shall the board be authorized
to buy a high school site? (This to
be submitted if the old site is ordered
to be sold by this special election.)
4. Shall the board be author
lied to erect high school building?
After these propositions have been
submitted to the electors at this
school meeting and the electors have
decided what the board shall do, then
the board shall estimate the amount
of bonds needed to carry out the
wishes of the electors, and will call
a bond election to be held at a later
date for the purpose of providing
funds
By the terms of the law the voters
must pass on this at three different
times.
The first is the special election to
be held next Saturday.
The second is school meeting Ga
mass meeting, not an all-day cleo
tom to be held few days later.
The third is the bond election to
be held about ten days after the
school meeting.
Every voter in the school district
who is interested in the welfare of
the schools should turn out and vote
to support the board in providing
needed school facilities for the edu-
cation of the children.
Any one thinking that the schools
are not crowded should visit the
school rooms and see for himself.
Every grade room is filled to over
flowing, indeed in many rooms the
pupils are sitting on front seats with
out desks because of lack of room to
place more desks. The enrolment is
nearly 200 greater than it was a year
ago, and the growth continues stead
lily. One outside room is now rented
for school purposes and one or two
more will have to be used-if they
can be found-before spring.
The need for high school building
| is not alone because of the growth in
the size of the high school, but the
fact that that room now used by he
| high school at the Whitman building
lis so badly needed for grade pupils
Then the growth of the high school
is so rapid that in year or two
there will be about $50 pupils in the
high school alone.
Wenatchees wealth, as shown by
| the assessors books, has more than
doubled in the past two years. The
assessed valuation is now nearly
three and half millions. The ex.
pense incidental to making the i'm
provements advocated by the board
will not be a burden on the district
as the DOuQS Will ulSIIiUutC IlC Jul
den over several years and be scarcely
felt at all on this immense valua
ton.
| Wenatchee's population is rapidly
growing. The need of school build
ings must keep pace with the growth
of the community. We have arrived
at a time when make-shift condition:
are not good enough. We must moi
build small buildings and keep patch
ing on continually. Let us build with
an eye to the future-for Wenatchee
has a splendid future in sight.
Had you thought of it?
Wenatchee has the largest an6
best school system between Spokane
and the Sound, between Yakima and
! the Canadian line; territory larger
than the whole state of Pennsylvania
And Wenatchee is going to keep the
lead.
Don't forget to vote Saturday.

New Orleans, La. May 29.-Several hundred women and children were in the Shubert theatre tonight witnessing a moving picture exhibition. when fire broke out in a fWe-story building sep arated from the theatre by an arcade paSsageway.
 The theatre exits were quietly opened and the announcer. pausing In the midst of an explanation of a picture then on the canvas. requested the audi ence to leave. saying there was a fire a few doors away. The music then struck up and the pictures proceeded. Meanwhile the big crowd passed under the arcade above which the flames al- ready were bursting. most of them chatting carelessly and not realizing there was a fire almost over their heads until they had reached safety in the street.
 A few minutes later the wall over the arcade cracked and the fire depart ment had a hard fight to save the thea tre and a large furniture store. The fire was confined to the building of it's origin. burning out the two upper floors. The building was occupied by the American Oriental Importing Com. pany.
