FRESHMEN ENTERTAIN
JUNIORS FRIDAY NIGHT

Miss Norvell Ratcliff and fellow
members of the freshman class of the
thigh school entertained the junior
class last night at the home of Mr.. and
Mrs. E. N. Ratcliff. The evening was
most pleasantly spent at games, music
and in general good time. Features
of the evening were the guessing con-
test and conversational test. A prize
was offered for the winners in the con-
|versational test and was awarded to
Miss Sadie Thompson and Willie
Sims. Mr.. Ratcliff also added much to
the pleasure of the occasion by his
magic performances. There is con-
siderable rivalry between the classes
of the high school and the freshmen be-
lieve they scored another point on
their arch enemies-the sophomores.
Superintendent Masterson and wife
were special guests last night.

WATER USERS INTERESTED
IN WESTERN IRRIGATION

Chicago, Ill, Feb 11.-Water users
In western states are interested in the
action of the legislature of the state
lof Washington with reference to the
water right code, prepared by COM
mission named by Governor Hay. The
measure is designed to settle numer-
GUS important questions, to avoid in
terminable litigation and to protect
the public as well as the holders and
the users of water
A draft of the code, received by
Arthur Hooker, secretary of the Ma
tional Irrigation Congress, which will
have its nineteenth annual sessions in
Chicago December 5 to 8, shows that
it is purposed to create offices for a
state hydraulic engineer and two SUI
perintendents, the former receiving a
salary of $1,000 year. The pay of
the superintendents is to be $2.400 a
year. The bill also provides that
these officials shall compose the state
water commission
There is provision that no water
right shall be granted without com
plete investigation, also that imme-
diately following the passage of the
act the auditors and clerks of the sew
eral counties shall prepare and send to
the commission abstracts showing all
water right filings and DEGREES in their
offices.
Heavy penalties are provided in the
bill for interference with irrigation
bitches, fumes and canals, for steal
ing water and other offenses against
irrigated property. The commission is
to void any rights for fail
ure to use the same within limited
time.

APPEAL WILL CAUSE DELAY
IN BUILDING OF CAPITOL

Oklahoma City Feb. 1.-THE an
Inounced intention of Guthrie to appeal
the capital case to the supreme court
of the United States may delay Okla
homas free capitol until the court
passes on the case. It is understood
here that the capitol building company
OF Oklahoma City, which has agreed to
sell land and build the 100000 cap
itol, does not desire to go ahead with
its project while the capitol location
is tied up in the courts.
If the United States supreme court
should reverse the capitol decision it
could only be on the question of the
binding force of the act prohibiting the
location of the cepitol until after 1913,
as this is the only federal question in
volved. Such a decision would inveli-
date the location here and make a new
location impossible until after 1918.
A proposition for the state to appro-
pirate 100000 for temporary capitol
building here is being discussed among
legislators.
Members of the Oklahoma City cap
itol expense committee which pledged
to pay the state $1,000 to provide free
quarters for state removal say they
are ready to deliver that amount to
the state board Of affairs. They will
pay no attention, they say, to Guthrie's
appeal.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. as to taxes.

There is popular Misunderstanding
in Vinita regarding the extension of
time granted for the payment of taxes.
This extension does not apply to special
improvement taxes. These taxes are
due and are subject to the eighteen
per cent penalty. Property owners
will save this penalty by paying up
their tax for special improvement.

COMPLETING ARRANGEMENTS
FR=. the BoolA
Committee in Charge Of Elks' En-
tertainment Getting Every
thing Lined Up for a
Successful, Event.

At a meeting held Wednesday
evening at the home of Mrs. Al
G. Flournoy final ! arrangements
| were made by the Elks' Bools
committees for the. big event tt
come next week at'the Fay Opera
House. The meeting was largely
attended and showed progress
enough in the preliminary work
to insure the Fair the 23-24-25 be.
ing the largest ever held in the
city Of Virginia.. The various com
mittees made reports as to the
amount Of material on hand for
the Boola and the matter of booths
to house the same was definitely
wrked out.
The decorations of the various
booths is such that the appear
ance of the hall alone on the even
ings of the fair will draw large
crowds. Among the various booths
will be a doll booth from which
over seventy-tive expensively
dressed dolls will be sold to the
Christmas shoppers. Another
booth will contain "a collection of
fancy articles and needle work,
probably the most. extensive col
lection ~=made for the Boola. A
curiosity shop, country store, a
souvenir booth, cigars and soft
drinks, fortune tellers, handker-
chiefs, and numerous other fea-
lures will be exhibited. An ex-
ceptionally valuable bull dog has
been donated by one Of the promin
ent Elks Of the state and will be
sold on chances as will also a horse
donated to the local society by DR..
Guidinger.
Work will be begun next Mon
day at the Fay sOperahouse so
that all will be readiness to open
the big fair by Thursday night and
to those who attend the Elks
promise the largest affair of it's
kind that has ever been attempted
in Virginia.

positive that they will receive re-
suits which will be highly salts

is being sacked for shipment, and

SUBMITS PLANS FOR new
NORTH SIDE SCHOOL
A. Twelve Room Building, Com
mendably Well Planned, Which
Will Cost in Neighborhood Of
~.$65,000.

Architect F. G.. German, Of Du.
luth, who was awarded the con-
tract for plans and specifications
for the proposed new North Side
school building, has this week SUBJ
mitted plans for the structure,
which will be considered by the
Board of Education at the next
regular meeting.
The plans are for twelve
room structure, the kindergarten,
domestic science and manual train
ing departments being in the
basement, while another large
basement room is designed as a
play room for the smaller pu-
pupils.
In speaking Of the plans, drawn
after careful consideration of
modern school needs, Superin-
tendent Bliss states that he con-
siders them the most convenien:
of any plans he has ever seen
drawn for grade school building.
The proba bic cost of the new
building, if built in accordance
withy the plans submitted and on
file in the office of the superin-
tendent, will likely be about $685.
0O0' although this amount might
be reduced to q limited extent by
change in brick designed to be
used or by saving on the cost of
exterior finish. Such a proceed
use on the part Of the board, how
ever, is unlikely, and we expect
to see the new school erected the
coming year to show up as one
of the nobbiest buildings on the
range.
