ARE SHORT OF MONEY
DIRECTORS CHANGE PLAN FOR
HIGH SCHOOL BUILDING.
win Leave Basement and Second story
Partially Unfinished, Completing
Only First Story.

While no contract has been entered
into for the building of the new High
School, the board has reached an
agreement with Contractor Oscar
Holmes whereby the work is to be
done for 9,4O0.
The board does not deem it advis-
able to enter into a contract before
the bonds are accepted by the buyers
and the money is actually paid into
the district treasury. A favorable re-
port on the validity of the bonds is
expected daily, and, Immediately upon
its receipt, it is altogether likely that
the bid of Mr.. Holmes will be accepted.
Mr.. Holmes first bid was $3.50.
This was the lowest bid submitted for
the construction of the building ac-
cording to the Morrison plans AS the
board had only $4,000 on hand after
paying for the lot, and as something
like $45O0 for heating and plumbing
would have to be added to Mr.. Holmes
bid, the board found that it would not
be able to keep the cost of the build
ing and grounds within the $4,000
limit, and all bids were rejected.
Offers Amended Bid.
Finding itself facing the alter
native of altering the plans and spec
ifcations or of abandoning the i'm
provement altogether, the board inn
mediately decided to ascertain what
could be done with the money at its
disnosal Aftav goino into tha ma tier
very thoroughly with Mr.. Holmes, it
was found that by leaving the base
ment and second story of the build
ing partially unfinished, the work
could be done for $29, 400 The board
thereupon agreed with Mr.. Holmes to
award him the contract at that figure
Immediately upon the acceptance of
the bonds by the buyers.
Under the provisions of the revised
bid, the outside walls and roof of the
building are to be finished according
to the original plans. The first story
the basement is to be partially finished.
The halls toilet rooms and engine
room in the basement are to be pro-
vided with concrete floors, but no con-
crete is to be used in the floor of the
gymnasium
No work will be done on the inter-
ior of the school rooms on the second |
floor this year. Neither will the aud
itorium be available for use. The only
work that will be done on the second
floor will be the finishing of the halls
and corridors and the hanging of the
doors of the various rooms.
Neither will it be possible to place !
an asbestos roof on the building, as
called for in the plans, unless as much !
as $500 shall be added to the contract
price. In case this amount is not adj
ded, an iron roof will be put on.
1t will be noted that only one story
of the building is to be completely
finished this year, and that only such
rooms as are actually needed will be
fitted up in the basement The direct
ors say that the building, even in its
finished condition, will be
sufficient for all purposes during the
school year. Therefore, rath-
er than to abandon the work altogeth-
er they deem it best to build with the
money at their disposal, leaving the
unfinished rooms to be fitted up as
needed in the years to come.

If any farmer in Polk County is
thinking of purchasing a gasoline en-
gne and wants a big bargain, he is
requested to call or write to the OBJ
server office. The engine for sale is
practically as good as new; will run
any machinery on a farm, and will be
sold at a very low price. Here is a
bargain for the lucky man who gets
1t, so do not delay.

PARLIAMENT FOR CHINA
Prince Regent Yields After Holding
Out For Several Years

Pekin, Nov. Prince Yu Lang, a
member OF the grand council OF the
Chinese empire. during speech IN
the senate declared that the entire
nation was agreed upon the necessity
OF an early convocation OF a general
parliament.
Members OF the senate were given
the impression that the throne had ac-
ceded to the request for parliament
10 be assembled at an early date, and
that the attitude OF the prince regent
In holding out for several years had
been rescinded.
The importance Of this concession
on the part OF the government can be
scarcely over estimated. in view OF Its
recent refusal to entertain a similar
request made by a delegation from
the provincial assemblies last June.
