URGES STUDENTS TO
JOIN ASSOCIATION
High School Pupils in Assembly Are
Told OF the Organization of
Athletics.

The first general assembly of the
students at the high school was held
yesterday afternoon. The principal
topic under discussion was the ath-
letic association. Principal II. E.
Brown pointed out to the students the
benefits which are derived by men,
bers of the association. The success
Of the athletic affairs of the school de-
ponds almost wholly upon this organ
ization and every student should join
it. Any member will save just 10
cents on each game attended and will
also have the satisfaction of being a
booster of the school The officers of
the association will appoint a student
from each class to collect the member
ship dues. There were $50 students
enrolled as members last year and it
is hoped that this record may be beat
en- this year.
The students of the free hand draw
ing class took up their work yester-
day afternoon and the basketry class
will be opened Thursday Next Mon
day the student body will be assem-
bled for singing. These singing les
sons will fail upon two days of the
Week-Monday and Thursday.

LIGHTS AT ALL,

Proposed Ordinance Will Re-

NO ACTION TAKEN YET
Measure Is LAID Over for COnsidera-
ton Later-Elite Awning Again
Subject of Discussion.

If an ordinance introduced at the
session of the city council last eve
ming is adopted, all railway COM
panies operating in the city Will be
required to maintain 1000 candle
power arc light at every intersection
of the streets and the railway tracks.
The ordinance was not acted upon,
and it was suggested that 1t be
amended in some way so that the
lights will be required only at the
principal crossings. The measure as
introduced requires the companies
under penalty of fine, to place the
lights at the crossings within 50 days
after given notice by the mayor or
the city council The penalty for
violation of the ordinance is a fine
of SO to $500. with an additional
fine of So day for each day after
conviction until the lights are in
place.

to file with the fire and light, commit
tee and the" alderman of the ward, Il
copy of the plans of the awning. S.
r. kenworthr1 was present and ad-
dressed the council on Mr.. Fricdeh-
wald's behalf, stating that if the
council refuses to allow the support
of the awning by posts, the structure
will be supported by chains. Mr..
Kenworthy argued that the former
method would be the more safe.
1t WAS stated by some of the alder
men that the understanding was thaC
the awning was to be covered with
iron as a protection against fire,
whereas the awning is only partially
covered. Alderman Carse argued for
the removal of the entire awning I'M
less it is properly built, and in his
remarks declared that the Elite man
agcment had. in his experience, been
difficult to do business with in the
matter of fire protection. He said
that if the management desires to
use posts for public safety. il should
use the same care i'll the interior, and
