Emmet School Notes

f1 fresh vigor into all the students. The classroom work is OF the upgrade.
 Prof. Brockman has agreed to teach class in vocal music. This class met for the first time last Tuesday evening at 6:30. Work will be continued until S:15 We expect to build up an enthu- slasm for good vocal music. This Is great opportunity for any one who wishes to study this subject to do so at very reason able cost. Every student of pi- ano ought to know something of vocal music.
 MT. and Mrs. J. M. Thomas and Prof. Crump attended the Baptist State Convention at Ar kadelphia. They report an abun- dance of food-both mental and physical. The Convention was great and had many great fea- lures. But the greatest feature of all was the noble way in which the Baptist of the State came to the rescue of their educational institutions. Ouachita College and Central College will now be placed on a firm financial basis. The debts of the institutions have been provided for and an endow- ment fund started. We rejoice in this tl iumph in the education al world and wish for these great institutions still greater future.
 Some of us are hoping that Leo Hines.will not get that school. He is such a good student and basket ball player.that we should regret exceedingly to lose him from our institution.
 We are glad to note that the Baptist church of this place is making arrangements to pur- chase an organ. There's music in the air."
 Just a very short time now un- til MT. Lowrey is with us. We feel sure that no one will miss this opportunity to hear one of the greatest living treats of the greatest orators. Come to hear him. It will be one of the great est treats of your life. We would feel safe in offering to return the money to any one hears him and does not feel his lecture is worth
 
 ten times the admission price. We want every student, every parent, and every other person at all interested in things that pertain to the mind and the soul to hear him without fail. We want him to have the inspiration of your presence, and you have the rare pleasure his words will afford you. Don't fail to come.
 The Xmas holidays are coming on apace, but we have been so busy we have hardly had time to think of Xmas. We remember that examinations will intervene. We cannot enjoy the holidays un- less we make a good record in school and feel that-.w deserve a rest.

BOARD OF LOCAL IMPROVE
MENTs ACCEPTS BID OF
l.. w. JOHNSON.

Hams Because the People
Wanted Portsmouth
Brick.

| At their meeting yesterday morn
| ing the Board of Local improvements
{ awarded the contract for paving
! Thirty-fourth street to l.. w johnson
of Danvlle. ILL.,, who was the lowest
, bidder on the work. There was a
great deal of discussion. Some tech
nical points in the call for bids hal
hot been complied with. notably that
which required that the sample brick
should be here at least five days be-
fore the bid was opened. But this
and other matters of this nature did
not in the opinion of Attorney Leek
affect the legality of the bid The
! principal objection came from up
town aldermen. who had been in.
structed by citizens on Thirtyfourth
steet to demand the same kind of
brick as was used on Washing on
avenue. A motion by Alderman
Scullin, seconded by Alderman Koch
Ter, that Mr.. JOhnson's bid be ac-
cepted, was amended by Alderman
Magner. that Mr., Johnson be required
t. use Portsmouth brick. After much
discussion the amendment was car
ried, Aldermen Magner, Cannon, Mel
lis and Bourgeois voting for it, and
Aldermen Koehler, Scullin and This
tlewood against it, Further discrs-
sion followed. in which Attorney Leek
contended strongly against the ac.
ton. as it was equal to rejecting the
lowest bid and accepting the next
higher bid that of Mr.. Williams who
was about $3.50 higher on the job
being $19,601 while that of Mr. John
son was $4,000 A. s. Fraser spoke
as a citizen, saying the action would
make contractors hesitate TO bid on
work hereafter. Mr.. Leek said the
specifications in the contract would
be sufficiently strong to guarantee
the use of good brick.
On motion of Alderman KoehIer
seconded by Alderman Magner, the
board reconsidered its action and
accepted Mr.. Johnson's bid, only two

Nellis and Cannon.
The matter of using cement filler
instead of asphalt was discussed and
the former was favored for streets
hereafter to be paved.
With respect TO collecting interest
on bonds for filling work no t yet
commenced Attorney Leek said it
would have to be collected. but would
be refunded to property owners, as 1t
could not be claimed by the con
tractors.

THINK SKAGWAY IN CANADA
 AND AN ICE BOUND PORT

A certain fraternaI society in skag- way received consignment of goods from it's headquarters in one of the biggest cities in the United States. The shipment was sent under a Can adian shippers manifest, the head lodge evidently having the impression that Skagway is situated in Canada.
 Herman Grimm received a letter recently from a fruit canning com pany in Kalamazoo, Mich, advising him to send in his orders early as they understood the last boat for skagway left Seattle Oct. 5, Evid- ently the Kalamazoo people think skagway an ice-bound port.
