PUBLIC SCHOOL NOTES.

Vacation next week.
Teachers examination at the high
school Friday and Saturday.
High school declamatory contest to-
morrow friday evening at 1880. Mu
sic will be furnished by The high school
choruses and the quartette.
That the rhetoricals are appreciated
was shown again last Friday afternoon,
when the room was filed with interest
ed visitors. Expressions of apprecia-
tioa were heard on all sides, and there
were many pleasing signs of interest
on the part Of the lower classes. The
young people all performed their parts
with credit to the school, and the feel
ing was quite commonly expressed that
there is a large amount of talent in the
high school.
The girls chorus made their first APP
pearance in public and were thoroughly
enjoyed by all. All the girls who can
afford the time should belong to the
chorus as the training is exceedingly
valuable. Nora Humbert was not able
to take part on account of sickness.
Marguerite Weise and Elsie Springer
see,ned to be very much at home at the
piano and held the closest attention of
every one in the room. Wearne Har-
wick did not give reading as the pro-
gram called for but instead he sur
prised and delighted the school by
playing a selection on the violin, accom-
panied by Mrs. Harwick. On being
called back, Wearne proceeded 20 sur
prise as well as please the school by
singing a song. We did not catch all
the words Of the song but it was some
thing about Every little bit helps.
The parliamentary practice was well
worked out and proved to be very pop.
ular Besides bringing out severa
points of parliamentary law, it devel.
oped into a frst-class debate, and was
carried through with as much dignity
as if Speaker Cannon had been ir
Harry's place. This work is Of vita
Importance, especially for the young
men. The struggle in the parliament
airy drill was over a resolution to cen
sure President Taft and Secretary Kno,
for the manner in which Mr.. Knox en-
tered the cabinet The resolution wa
finally amended to censure congress in
stead of Taft and Knox, and then tn,
resolution was tabled The remark
brought out many points of interest il
regard to the two men.
Mr.. J. w. Anderson is always appre
ciated by the school, and he had abund
ant proof that his piano playing strike
a popular chord.
Recent visitors in h- high school were
Ina Martin, '08, Mabel Matson, 05, ELL
Richards, '0s, Frank McNeilI, 'OS.

Mrs. Murphy, was running a
hotel here, and Mr.. Wood was

Al - w vi puyJ, WdS AuAAiuS
hotel here, and Mr.. Wood was
conducting a general merchan-
disc store here. Later the hotel
burned. Mr.. Wood first had his
store in log building in the
west end of town, which was
later used by l.. H. Johnston as
his law Office. This building
burned April 25th, 1894, at the
time of the big fire in Challis.
What is now known as Custer
county's court house, was owned
and occupied also as a store by
Mr.. Wood. He finally sold the
building to the county for $500.
After Mr.. Woods marriage he
built a fine residence here (which
is now known as the Fox lodg-
ing house,. In this residence
Mr.. Wood and his family lived
for a number of years. Later he
went into the sheep business in
Pahsamaroi valley, where by
good management he cOmmenc
ed TO accumulate wealth. Later
he moved to Salt Lake, and ever
since has been making money
rapidly.
Mr.. Wood is known by all the
old timers in this county. Mr..
Hull informs us he prospected
and roughed it with Mr.. Wood
AZ years ago in Leesburg. Mr..
Boggs told US he helped to make
Mr.. Wood a Mason in Salmon
City on Feb. 21, 1876. But none
of our pioneer can recall Mr..
Wood being in Boise basin.
The untimelS death of John
David Wood has cast a gloom
over this town, where he was sc
we'll known. Mr.. Wood was a
free giver to charity. He and
his family were always kind to
all their old friends in this sec
ton, and when any of them that
they knew went to Salt Lake
Mr.. Wood would look them VI
and entertain them, and help
them financially if they needed
it. He never forgot his old-time
friends, and this is why they
they hold his memory so dear.
The MESSENGER, together with
our entire community, extends
our heartfelt sympathy to the
bereaved relatives in their sac
affection.
