section of the state. and no expense
has been spared in making it at
tractive in every respect. The floors
are of edgegrained fir and the wood
work is of selected curly fir and is
finished in natural color. There is
over 500 feet of blackboard in the
building and this is of slate over
cement plaster, scientific and sani-
tary in construction. Contractor
Sweat speaks highly of joiner work
in the building which is especially
fine. Door fnishings, etc., are of
glazed bronze.
Gordon H. Taylor is at work on
the parking plans for the grounds
and teams and scrapers are busily
engaged in grading around the
building. While these plans are
not yet complete, it is understood
that the playground, which is to be
seeded to alfalfa, will be on the
south side of the building and will
be separated from the lawns by a
rustic retaining wall. All of the
grounds north of the building and
the concrete walk leading to the
east and west entrances will be
graded into a plateau and will be in
lawn. Trees and shrubbery will
beautify the grounds at later date.
Mr.. Sweat, who has been build
ing schoolhouses for the past forty
years and who has done $25O,OOC
worth of work in the past twelve
months, states that this is one Of
the best buildings he has ever con-
structed and guarantees the quality
of the workmanship and material
which has been employed, to be one
of the best.
G. M. Annis, clerk of the board
says of him: I'VE have nothing
but praise for the contractor, for he
used No. material in construction
and has carried out his contract to
the letter, besides doing many things
to beautify not required of him. He
has proved gentlemanly in every
respect"
Perhaps no two men have worked
harder in the building of our high
school than Arthur Watson, Mr.
Sweatt's foreman, and Henry Smith
The Kennewick courier. [volume] (Kennewick, Wash.) 1905-1914, 1911-11-24

who had the brick work in charge.
Mr.. Watson has been with Mr..
Sweat for years and has personally
directed the workmen, producing
the required results without friction.
1t is to him and Mr.. Smith that
we owe the perfection of the build
ing,'' said Mr.. Annis in discussing
their work. Mr.. Smith is one of
the pioneer brick men of Spokane.
The work of Mr.. Rand has thoro-
ly sustained the reputation he has,
as the architect who plans most of
the best school buildings in the
state and does three-fourths of the
work along his line in Spokane.
This building was patterned some
what after the $500, 900 Lewis and
Clark High School on the south
side in Spokane which is one of Mr..
Rand's best.
Mr.. Sweat has made it his policy
to employ local workmen where
ever possible and says the best
mechanics he had on the job were
Kennewick men. No one who has
not served upon a city school board
at some time in their life can fully
appreciate what a thankless job it
is and this is especially true when
there is some large enterprise at
stake which requires nerve and
ability to carry through success
fully. The debt of thanks which
the community owes to our present
board for the efficient service that
has been So freely given in the build
ing of the high school will never be
paid, but their work has been
worthy and it deserves appreciation.
Our school is the product of many
minds, many hands and many dol
lars and it's value to Kennewick
may not be realized now, but in the
coming years it will tell its own
story in characters of the valleys
youths passing out of its doors into
a larger world, and those who have
built it will receive the honor due
them.

COMPLETE DAM WORK.
U. s. Engineering Corps Preparing to
 Leave Mexico.

Yuma, Ariz., May 11.-Colonel De- kerson, United States engineer, in charge of the work of repairing a break in the Colorado river, has com pleted operations for mobilization and his men are to be moved back to the American side of the boundary. The work is in such shape that the sol- diers who have been on guard can be dispensed with and the Mexican gov ernment probably will send them else where.
 Colonel Mayot, in command of the guard, moved his camp today to a point opposite Andrade, California. Judging from his preparations, he ex- poets to remain there for some time with his main force.

 MT. Shoot advocated party regu- larity.
 MT. Hieyburn contended that the man who would not abide by a party caucus cloud not in fairness claim to be member of the party.
 Ultimately the chair ruled that A pair could be recognized only as an excuse for not voting and by a vote the senate held this to be valid ex- cuse.
 During the balloting Senators Stone, Bailey and other democrats made the contention that a plurality should elect IA decision in their favor would have elected Senator Bacon, but the chair held against them.
 After the fifth ballot, Senator Gull lom sought adjournment until Mon day, but his motion was voted down, 35 to 42, democrats and progressives voting in the negative. But after two more roll calls, Mr La Follettee's similar motion prevailed without di- vision, it becoming apparent that all balloting must be intellectual,

Should this plan be decided upon, federation would not be possible at the earliest before the year 1917.

 This activity was regarded as indi- eating a purpose to interfere with the investigation.
 Another intimation which came from senator was to the effect that hear ings of the committee would be de- layed, pending report by the grand jury on alleged bribery in the assem- bly,.
 Senator Young in refusing today to vote for the Jones bill, designed to end bucket shops in Ohio, declared he had been offered $500 to introduce and pass a similar bill last year. Ills statement aroused no inquiry or com ment.

 Up Tommorrow.

Little Rock, Ark, May il In an impassioned appeal to the lower house of the general assembly gath cred at his request in the guberna- torial private offices this afternoon Gov. George w. Donaghey urged the passage of the Keel revenue bill before the session ends, which will be practically tomorrow afternoon
 A comprehensive bill for the secur- ing of revenue for the state was pass ed through the house earlier in the session and defeated in the senate. Since then the senate has sent a bill to the house containing some of the features of the house bill, but it has met with almost overwhelming oppo- sition at every step.
 But forty eight hours remain be- fore you" said the governor, "and yet absolutely no revenue bill has been passed. In the name of God Almighty men, what is it you intend to do? This bill is the only salvation for you and the people who elected you"
 The bill comes up for final action tomorrow on it's second reading, the house having refused to allow it to be read yesterday and missing tabling it only by a majority of six votes

ALTITUDE OF
 $500 FEET
REACHED BY AVIATOR JIMMY WARD IN 6lPLANE AT THE
 ESSEX PARK COURSE.
Three Successful Flights, With the Addition of Spiral Glide Dip. and Other Thrilling Features.
 Crowd Pleased.

Reaching an altitude of more than 5G00 feet more than 300 feet over one mile aloft in the skies Aviator Jimmy Ward. in a Curtiss biplane. yesterday afternoon at Essex Park skirted the glowering but quiet clouds above, circled about several miles at this altitude, put on the thrilling dip in his descent. showed the spiral glide, and in brief demon strated to the enthusiastic audience that he is fully entitled to the merit accorded him in the world of avIa- ton.
 There were three flights made. The atmosphere was heavy. The rain Of more than an hour at noon had sus pended. but the skies never cleared, and there was doubt as to the proba- biity of another rainfall, which caused the attendance to be cut in half, but those who did brave the weather and journeyed to Essex park witnessed the best flights of the meeting
 In the first flight Ward eircled the course at an altitude not reaching higher than GOO to 800 feet, and in that ascent proved that there were no air currents above and that later flights would be absolutely safe.
 His second flight carried him to an altitude of about 5000 feet, and in the clouds at this distance he made several sharp turns. and in the de- scent put on the glide, taking down. ward turn at high speed and ascend- ing again.
 In the third flight Ward lifted his machine into the 5.600 feet of skies which was the maximum of the after shut off the motor and dipped to \ drop of almost thousand feet. sud denly pointing the nose of the ma chine aloft again, turning on the cur rent. and was again to higher al- titudes.
 In descending he made one dip near the stand which brought the audience to it's feet, thrill of wonderment at the daring of the little aviator. 1 .s.tx lao ioA nF the first day stated that yesterdays demonstration was far more wonder ful. and that Ward was master of the skies at every interval during the flights.
 The entertainment was varied again with the racing program. which brought at least one rousing finish.
 Ed Spears famous Arabian White Cloud" one of the best high school horses in training anywhere. made an appearance that was greeted with enthusiasm. Spear handled the horse well, displaying excellent horseman- ship. and White Cloud' responded to every order with the perfection If a well disciplined servant.
 The running race was won by Oma l. with St. Cairo, second and Bland ford third. The former was much the best in the going and after securing a good position in the turn pulled away and won handily.
 The harness race was called off after long and tiresome wait for the second heat, the crowd leaving the grounds before this had been concluded because of the difficulty in getting the horses away together. Tootsie, owned by Spear. and driven by Dr. F. l.. Thompson. won the first heat, and Hillhurst s, owned and driven by Garen. was first in the sec ond heat, there being no others run.

INSURRECTO
 GOVERNMENT
MADERo SETS UP CAPITAL AND NAMES PRoVtSg OVAL STATE
 OFFICERS.
Reopens Jaurez Bridge and Takes Charge of Customs Houses-Sur-
 prised at the Ease With Which the City was Taken,


 provisional government became an es tablished fact today with the naming of a cabinet by Francisco | Madero' Jr., provisional president and with the establishment of a capital at the cap tured city of Juarez.
 The cabinet follows:
 Dr. vasquez Gomez, minister Of foreign relations.
 Gustavo Madero minister of finance.
 venustiano Carranza. minister Of war.
 Frederico Gonzales Garza, minister of the interior.
 Pino Suarez. minister of justice.
 Juan Sanchez Azcona, secretary to the president.
 Secretary of War Carranza will have charge of the railways and tele- graph and his first act was to grant permission for the repair of the Mex. leo Northwestern Railroad. A gang of men immediately set to work on the torn roadbeds south of Jaurez.
 Gonzales Garza will have charge oi the mail service and Secretary of the Treasury Gustavo Madero will direct the affairs of the custom house.
 That the insurrecto army is more than an armed mob was shown today in the complete absence of footing and of intoxication and the quickness witt which the shattered city was cleared of it's dead and wounded. The em bargo against visitors was removed during the morning and curious sight seers in thousands poured across the bridges leading from Fl Paso.
 Only occasional cases of footing were reported and these not by the insurrectos themselves but by insati- able curio hunters. one of whom tri- umphantly displayed in Fl Paso two silver candlesticks taken from the big church in which yesterday the fed erals made a desperate stand.
 In the meantime the insurrectos are net overlooking the possibility of attack from Colonel Rabago. reported approaching from Chihuahua with a relief force. Naturally, the rebel lead CTS did not divulge their plans in this direction. but it is known that sur prise from the south is carefully be ing garded against.
 Juarez contains tonight the larger part of Madero's original force of r. $40 men, augmented by several scores of volunteers who during the day en- listed under the banner of the vic torious rebel army and were armed with captured rifles.
 Now that the battle of Juarez has been fought and won, even the insur recto leaders are wondering somewhat at the easiness of the capture of the city that appeared almost impregna ble
