A BIG STOCK SHOW.

The stock show at the IntermOun'
tain fair this year will be the great
est in the history of Idaho, its sue
cess being doubly assured by the an
nOuncement last night at the close OF
I the meeting of the directors of the as
sociation that many of the big east
ern herds which have been exhibit
ing at Seattle will come to Boise.
This feature, which it is believed will
be the fairs greatest attraction, is
made possible for the necessity of a
stop-over for the stock between Sc
attic and Denver
Herds range from 10 to 80 head
and include the best stock of the
foremost breeders of America, and
will include Hereford, Red Poll, Hol-
stein, Galloway and Angus stock.
Premium lists have been amended
so as to include these and to offer
some special inducement so that this
stock will not come in competition
with Idaho herds and so as much Of
the Seattle stock show reproduced
in Boise as possible,

Many of the herds are unexcelled |
on the continent and have carried |
away first prizes at Chicago, Den

opinion that Idaho should not miss

The residents and patrons of In
dependent School District No. 80 are
beginning to realize that the time has
arrived when the district must have
a new high school building. Condi
tions this year are such that it has
l been impossible to care for the
fgrades and the high school is also
fowded quite to capacity.
On the west side the 4th, 5th 9Th
and 7th grades will be forced to at
tend school but half day until a
force of workmen, can get the up
stairs in the Payette Valley Mercan-
tile building in shape to receive them.
When that building is in condition
the pupils so far entered in the
grades and High School will have
been cared for. But what of the fu-
ture and even later this winter when
it is certain others will enter?
Eighteen new pupils entered the
High School this week bringing the
total enrolment to 14S. The seating
capacity of the High School assem-
bly, room is but 1O9. 1t has there
fore become necessary to assign pu-
pills seats in some of the class rooms
and during the opening exercises and
singing periods they must sit two in
a seat In other words the High |
School has at the present time, with
out considering others that are sure |
to enter later just forty pupils more
than it can accommodate comforta-
bly,.
In speaking of the conditions Supt.
J. E. Turner said: ''If the grades
were properly provided for by reduc-
ing the number of pupils per teach
er to forty or forty-five, all of the
rooms in the buildings we now have
would be occupied by the grades and
there would be absolutely no room
for the High School.
1.-The High School is growing rap
idly. Two years ago the enrolment
was SO, last year 19O and this year
so far las and will probably reach
L6O.
The eighth grade this year num-
1ers nearly sixty so indications are
lot wanting for a still larger increase
n the High School next year"
The best that can be done this
-ear has already been done by the
present board and in a short time
With the extra rooms rented in va
ious parts of the city the pupils will
,e accommodated and given an OPP
,ortunity to attend school a full day. f
that provides for the present but a
What OF next year? The general i'm d
ression of many we have heard O
xpress themselves on this all impor- a
ant situation seems to be that the O
istrict should at once vote the nee "
ssary bonds and get ready for the d
uilding of a High School building t
nd one that would be sufficient for a
Il needs of the district for some n
me to come. r

ONLY SAFETY IS
CONSOLIDATION
ARTILLERY CHIEF TELLS OF
SAN PEDR0'S CHANCE
SAYS ONE OF WORLDS GREAT
HARRoR5 is POSSIBLE
Public Harbor with All Hands Joined
and with Heavy Guns Behind
II Within Reach of
Los Angeles

CONSOLIDATION of your cities is the
only thing to make your harbor what
it should be-" General Arthur Murray.
chief of the coast artillery, told the
men he met in conference yesterday
at the chamber of commerce.
1T is necessary, if you are to real
ize the establishment of a harbor or
the character you can build here
and you may have one of the great
harbors of the world. But the thing
to make this is to consolidate as you
are planning and work together for a
public harbor."
That the government desired to bui'd
fortiflcations on much broader !
than has been so far revealed re
ing the projected work at San
developed at yesterdays contere.
Instead of a few hundred thousand
dollars, If the harbor is adequately
worked out by the consolidated city,
1t is the governments plan to spend
several millions for defense. General
Murray made the prediction that the
hills near San Pedro would eventual
ly become one of the finest residence
districts in California following the
building of the fortifications.
Those who met General Murray were
Stoddard Jess, A. P. Fleming, j. O.
Koephi, William D. Stephens. T. e.
Gibbon, j. e. Carr and w. j. Wash
burn, representing the harbor COM
mission and the Los Angeles chamber
of commerce. Captain Fries and
Lieutenant Leeds were at the con-
ference.
That an attempt to maintain values
to make the purchase of the needed
land prohibitive would result in pos
sbly preventing the expenditure of
over $3,000.000 at San Pedro for forti-
fications, perhaps much larger sum,
was brought out. Reference was made
to the report sent to congress by the
war department last February recon-
mending expenditures totaling $3,-
655,269 in connection with the fortify-
ing of San Pedro. 1t is said that the
total work at the harbor in this con-
nection is now estimated as ultimately
aggregating more than double that
sum.
General Murray left the purchase of
site with the United States engineers
office, and went over the matter again
with Captain Fries and Lieutenant
Leeds yesterday before leaving on the
"Colonel George Armistead" for San
Diego

NO REASON ASCRIBED
FOR ATTEMPTED SUICIDE
Family of Despondent Woman Who
Took Morphine Refuses Assistance
of Police Surgeons

Six tablets of morphine taken by
Mrs. James G.. Hunter, 45 years old
1857 DeLong street, in an attempt to
commit suicide, failed to bring about
the desired effect yesterday afternoon,
and it is believed the woman will re-
cover. Members of the Hunter family
refused to let the police ambulance re-
move Mrs. Hunter from their personal
care, and an unknown woman doctor
was placed in charge of the patient
No reason for the sudden determina-
ton to end her life has been given by
the woman, who is still unconscious,
and no letter. or message which gives
any clew to the cause of her despond-
ent condition has been found. Friends
of the family state that Mrs. Hunter
has of late shown tendency toward
despondency, but the cause of it is a
matter of mystery.
