Superintendent Palmer expects that
within short time the total enroll
ment will reach at least $500. as there
are always a large number who do not
enter school when it opens in the fall,
but who enroll during the first two or
three weeks.
Despite the fact that the attendance
is much larger than last year the build
ings are no more crowded. This con-
dition is due TO two additional grades
being opened, one in both the Arson
and First ward buildings. Expecting
that the enrolment would be larger the
board provided these additional rooms
during vacation.
The enrolment of tuition pupils is,
Mr. Palmer thinks. about 100 larger
than al the same time last year. About
sixty of this increased number are
pupils in the high school The others
are in the grades.

MAY BUILD NEW TURN TABLE.
centraI's Now Engines Too Big for Ole
Turn Table.


There is a prospect of the iowa Cen
trail being compelled to build a new
turn table for use at it's local round
house, or; enlarge the one that It, has
so that it can properly handle the. big
new engines Which the company pur-
chased this summer. The turn table,
which is used in taking the engines
into and bringing them out of the
round house, is TOO short to handle the
new engines, as they fill its entire
length completely, and make the
swinging of the turn table very DIFF
ficult 1t has not yet been determined
just what will be done. whether a new
table will be built OF the old pit en-
larged and a longer table placed on
it. The work of digging the new Gin
der pit. over which engines are to be
cleaned, was begun Wednesday.

BODY OF w. L. WARNER FOUND
Body Well Preserved and Identi-
fication is Complete.

The body Of w. L. Warner, who was
drowned while working at the power
station here three weeks ago today,
was found by Samuel Murdock near
Mr.. Alberts ranch, about sixteen miles
below the falls late Wednesday evening.
Early Thursday morning Mr.. Murdock
brought the news of the find here and
George Strong, S. NJ. Mcbride and
George Cornford left about noon to
identify the body. Identification was
complete, and all doubt about the man
ner of Mr.. Warmers death is removed.
He disappeared from the power station
where he was employed, three weeks
ago today. No one doubted that he
fell into the water and was carried
over the falls, but as no one saw him
disappear, absolute proof was lacking.
The body was well preserved consid-
ering the long time it was in the
water. Funeral services were held at
Falls View cemetery yesterday after
noon at 2 o'clock, and the body of the
much loved young man consigned to its
it's final resting place.

Surprising, But True.

A gentleman writes the Press to
know whether or not the springs which
supply the waterworks system Of
American Falls are large enough to
supply a town of 5000 or more. OF
that the gentleman must judge for
himself. The Press will supply the
figures. The inquirer must apply them
according to his own standard.
The springs flow 1900 gallons minute.
Turned into room ten feet square and
ten feet high they would fill it in less
than two minutes. Counting five feet
to the minute, 300 feet to the hour, in
twenty-four hours the springs would fill
such room a mile and fourth high
and have surplus of $50, 600 gallons,
or 70 gallons each for 5000 people.
How much water the gentleman would
allot to each person for consumption is
not known. If 100 gallons per head per
day is sufficient the springs will supply
city of 81, 920 people, which is all we
look forward to in the next ten years.
No other town in the state has such a
resource. Moreover the water is as
| fine as any in the land.

Construction was begun Monday on
two brick business buildings between
the Oliver -McKown Hardware company
and the Weeter Lumber company. One
of these is being erected by Miller &
Clark, of the Fidelity Realty company.
and the other by DR.. Sykes. The
buildings will be of brick, two stories,
plate glass front, with frontage of
twenty-five feet each and depth of
seventy-five feet. The lower floor of
the Miller & Clark building has been
leased by Ellsberry the clothier and
furnisher, who is cramped for room in
his present quarters. The upper story
will probably be arranged for lodge
room.
No tenant has been secured for the
Sykes building but the location is so de-
sirable that one will be readily found.
the upper story of the building will be
divided into Office suites, one of which
the doctor will reserve for himself.
The Oliver & McKown Hardware
company are joining in party wall
with Miller & Clark. which foreshadows
the closing of the gap between these
buildings at no distant date. making a
beautiful block of buildings.

and invites the attention of investors.
The town IS surrounded by 1000 acres
of fine irrigated land, and 40,eo9 acres

The building of the Oregon Short Line

of American Falls and about thirty
miles from Blackfoot Owing Co lack

How They We're Grown.

Ed Nelson has the finest dry farm
potatoes that have been seen here this
year. Wednesday he brought in three
varieties, Early Ohio, Carmen Mob,
and Blue Victor They are SO fine that
arrangements have been made TO send
some of each TO Seattle. The Early
Ohios will average nine ounces. The
largest of them weighs twelve ounces,
and eighty such will make bushel
The Blue Victors, which are later
variety. average SIX ounces, the largest
weighing eight ounces. The Carman
No. 3 average about FIVE ounces, the
largest weighing six ounces The
weight Of a potato does not carry
very accurate idea Of its size. The
twelve ounce Early Ohio measures
twelve by nine inches. The Blue Vic
tor nine by eight inches, and the Car
men No. 3ten by six and one half inches
These potatoes were planted between
first and the fifth Of May, and were
grown two and a half miles west Of
town. They have had no water and
will be given none. They average
about q third larger than any other
potatoes so far seen. Mr.. Nelson has
said all along that he would have the
prize winners, basing his prediction
J upon the methods Of cultivation. He
plowed his land fourteen inches deep

be found anywhere.
