The high school is growing very
rapidly and has it's commercial as

courses.
The Idaho Falls schools, under
the efficient supervision of Profess

ken their place as one of the best
in the state. Mr.. Crandall is an
exceedingly efficient school man and
has developed a magnificent system
of schools. The high school is well
equipped and is doing very efficient
work. The Idaho Falls reo~'e have
reason to be proud of their. sehool
system. 1t is on a ~ar with other
institutions of that remarkable lit

towns of similar size in the middle

One of the features of the educa-
tional situation in the southeastern
part of Idaho is the existence OF
four Latter Day Saint academies

These latter are essentially churci
schools and devote considerable at

Ladies to Bowl.

Several of the ladies have asked
the Commercial club to give them
an evening for bowling and acting
upon this suggestion the club will
give Wednesday evening of each
week for ladies bowling.
On these evenings gentlemen Will

is hoped that the ladies will feel
free to take advantage OF this op-
portunity. The bowling alley Is

is galaxy of educational institu-

in an educational way not excelled
in the northwest.
The public schools, under the ef-

years and in spite OF the sparsely

RACINE ENTRY FINISHED End
Fredelake of Racine Had Led Runners
to the Last 200 Yards of the Race
Turtleson is Third While Palm Fin
ishes in Fourth Place.

Cheered by crowd of two thousand
people who shivered in rain coats and
protected themselves by umbrellas, Al
bert Werve won the second annual
Evening News Road Race On Thurs
day morning defeating field Of seven
fast runners and covering the seven
and a quarter miles in 46 minutes and
fifteen seconds. His victory was by
the narrowest of margins as Harry
Fredelake of Racine, the only outside
entry was less than sixty feet behind
him when he crossed the finish line
amidst the applause of the hundreds
who stood watching for the appearance
Of the winner. To the crowd it was a
race between Racine and Kenosha and
the victory of Werve set the crowd to
cheering. However. Fredelake was en-
titled to every consideration as he ran
a grand race and as he fell over the
line five seconds behind Werve he was
given almost as much applause as the
winner of the big trophy. Elmer Tur-
tleson won third place but he finished
forty-three seconds behind the leaders.
Palm, the old marathon runner who
had been regarded as strong favorite
in the race was behind Turtleson and
he had a hard fight with Eskil Peter
sen of Pleasant Prairie for fourth
place in the race. Axel Christensen,
finished sixth and Frank Warren fin
ished seventh. Joseph Wiesang who
started in the race was the only one
of the runners who failed to cover
the course. Wiesang ran for the first
three miles and then gave up the Cruel
ing contest and was picked up and
brought in to the finish with the off
cial car. Considering the conditions
under which the race was run the time
is regarded as remarkable and the
showing made by the men who fin
ished in the first five places excited
comment among the men who had care
fully watched the race from start to
finish.

REPORT OF MUNICIPAL COURT
Racine County Board Names Special
Committees to Act on Plan for Build
ing Joint tuberculosis Sanitarium for
Two Counties

Sherif-elect Andrew H. Stahl is not
going to make any trouble for the mem
bers of the County Board and he ap
peared before the Board late Wednes-
| day afternoon and announced that he
was willing to meet the board half
way in the making of reasonable con-
tract for the performance of the duties
of sheriff during the coming year. The
matter was referred to the committee
| on Sheriff IS accounts and it is expected
that they will report a contract for the
signature of the board when the SEES
sions are resumed on next Monday. The
members of the board hold that the
decision of Judge Tarrant in the Ra-
cine case does not bar them from MAX
ing such a contract and that they are
willing to take chance with Sheriff
elect StahL The committee has not had
any talk in regard to the amount of
the contract but it will probably be
y
Judge Clifford e. Randall appeared
before the Board on Wednesday after
noon and gave an extended verbal re-
port of the workings of the municipal
court showing the large number of
cases that had been disposed of. He
declared that the municipal court could
not be made a money making institu-
ton for the county but insisted that it
would prove a big saving over the old
Justice court system SO long in vogue
in the county. Several changes have
been suggested in connection with the
court and these will be taken up at
the session of the board on Monday
morning.
On account of the fact that the re-
port of the County Treasurer is no+
yet really the board adjourned until
Monday and it is expected that the
report will be ready by that time,
The Racine County Board has taken
kindly to the suggestion tor the build
ing of joint sanitarium for the treat
ment of patients in the advanced stages
of tuberculosis, and special commit
tee of that board has been named to
confer with the members of the Ken
osha County Board in working out some
plan to take care of such patients. The
Kenosha County Board laid the matter
is probable that before the close of the
present session a special committee will
be named to act with the Racine County
committee, The committees in charge
of the fight against the white plague
in the two counties will cooperate with
these committees.
