o'clock the high school pupils and
teachers left the old Central building
and marched to the High School
building just being completed on
North Shilling avenue between Alice
and Francis streets. They were &c.
companied by the local representa-
tives of the press, and all were naes
at the main entrance by r. N. West,
president of the board Of education.
contractor and builder w. J. Banks,
and L. P. Larson, the faithful jani-
tor whose efficient services at the
Central building won for him the
management of the fine heating and
yentilating plant at the new building.
Supt. w. D. Vincent was little late
in Joining the company, being be-
sieged at his office by many pupils
when the classes left the old build
ing. He arrived soon after all were
seated in the assembly room, and the
informal opening of the building to
service was delayed just long enough
to allow them to study and enjoy the
surroundings.
The Assembly Room
The assembly room is on the
ground floor in the center of the
building, facing west but receiving
it's light from the east, and the north
and the south ends. The stage is at
the west, and the seats, 169 in num-
Der, are arranged on the curve-sloped
floor so that the view is good and
the light from the windows is abund-
ant and can be governed SO that it
is mild and subdued. The windows
are fourteen in number, each being
about 2Ax11 feet.
The walls are finished in gray,
the color of the plaster, with just
a touch of Mission in the woodwork
and the furniture. A large picture
of Joan of Arc Hearing the Voices, .
occupies the central position at the
back of the stage, and on each side
are western scenes by Remington,
one of which is The Chase" and
the other "The Attack at the Ford"
A few other pictures are distributed
about the room, and plentiful sup
ply of electric fixtures about the
stage and the room, all governed by
switches at the side of the stage, en-
able them to produce any desired
electrical effect. On each side of
the stage is dressing room, with ex-
its leading back into the main hall.
The teachers and visiting editors
and President West were seated on
The stage, and as Mr.. West and Supt.
Vincent took their places hearty
applause indicated that one or both
Of them held warm place in the
hearts of the pupils. They sang
America, with the piano accsmpa-
niment.
Supt. Vincent in his opening re-
marks, stated that at a later date
when the building is more nearly
there will be a formal
opening or dedication of the build
ing, and that with the beginning of
work this morning they felt that it
was proper to pause in their work
and review the situation. School
district number eight, he said, had
poured out its money generously to
provide for them the best building
known to modern school men. That
ne had personally inspected ten or
,welve of the best high school build

pleted and furnished will have cost
the district six thousand dollars, and
the maintenance and operating ex
penses will keep raising the sum each
day that passes. That the people in
placing all this at the disposal Of the
young people expect only that they
will attain the best results of which
they are capable. That 1t is a well
established fact that good shoes on
the feet add to the efficiency and
moral strength of boy or girl, and
that good we'll groomed clothing well
adapted to the individual add to their
worth Of character, and On this prin-
ciple the school board reasoned that
poor school house and poor appar-
Eatus does not give the pupils the
best chance as compared with the
good, the substantial and the finely
| finished. That the whole building
and everything in 1t was made or Sc
lected with this principle in mind,
and Blackfoot will expect notable re-
|sults from them and will be satisfied
with this investment for them If they
make good.
Prof Vanderhoof, the manual
training teacher, spoke briefly on
the work of his department, showing
the Importance of taking up that
work not only for the actual train
ing it affords, but also for the ad-
vantage it gives in determining what
trade or profession each one has the
best natural endowment for. That
this department brings out those
things and that it is so much better
and easier to find out such things
early in life and lay foundations for
life work accordingly.
After singing The Star Spangled
Banner" the visitors dispersed and
the classes took up their work. The
representatives of the press were
shown through the abuildjng, and
were invited to point out the place,
If they could find it, where any floor
space was wasted. When they thought
they were about to find little place
under stairway they We're shown
that it was fitted up FOR storage of
brooms, brushes and busters. Every
where they turned there was evidence
of a good general arrangement, and
this followed out in the details . to
make every spot contribute to the
general arrangement, and this fol-
lowed out in the details to make ev-
cry spot contribute to the general
plan. ~
There are fourteen class rooms,
and those that are furnished have
chairs with the detachable writing

s'There's No Place Like Home
The Birmingham age-herald., 1911-09-15

A rain which fell suddenly and swamp ed the field at Redwood prevented q game between the Barons and the Billi- kens yesterday A double header will be played this afternoon, the first game be- ginning at 2:15 o'clock.
 The rain brought keen disappointment to the Barons but great Joy to the Billi- kens. At the first sprinkle Manager Dobbs did a dance in which all his men following suit, participated. It was the crownlng moment of the season for the Billiken manager.
 The Barons were keyed up to a high pitch and felt confident of defeating the visitors. The Bllikens, gaining little from those farcial games against New Orleans. and finding little satisfaction in trimming Manush, a third baseman, three days in row. did not relish the idea of getting into close quarters with the Barons.
 But this afternoon. if no rain falls, two games will be played. It is probable tha, Bailey and Sparks will do the pitching for the visitors Foxen and Trough will probably represent Birmingham.
 President C. P. Jones of the Montgom- cry club. one of the real sportsmen of the south, is along with the>Billikens
 MT. Jones, in conversation with The Age-Herald reporter, took occasion yes terday morning to explain the reason why he voted favorably on Franks request that the Mobile-New Orleans series be transferred from Mobile to New Orleans

Molasses Kills Shrimp

New Orleans, September 14-Dead shrimp by the millions and fish by ;he thousands are floating about on the wat CTS of Lake Ponchartrain, near the bulk heads at the entrance of the new basin as result of diet on molasses which found its way into the lake from the city sewers when 600,000 gallons were recently let loose in the streets when a storage tank burst. The molasses contained about 21s per cent potash to the gallon. Unless the tides carry the dead fish away, 1t Is predicted that the odor will be so great that residents will be forced to move from West End.

HILTON DEFEATS TRAVERS
 IN VERY BRILLIANT MATCH

player topped off his drive for the fourth hole and Hilton held him firmly to the end.
 The crowd that marched behind and hung breathless on every stroke was in- tensely patriotic, but hardly generous enough in its applause. When Travers reached the short fifth green with his iron and the ball began to trckle away from the hole thousand threats shouted "whoal" Groans followed every putt that Travers missed and a few were heard when Hilton likewise ran down some long ones while the applause for any fine dis- play of sterling British golf was conspcu- ously weak. Hilton's gofing machine needed no American encouragement. It worked with such smoothness that his chances of carrying it through to the fi- nal green Saturday afternoon were quoted toight at 3 to l against the field.
 The best of feeling prevailed between the internationalists even when Hilton, who has been down but once in about 10 holes, took the honor at the 10th tee which rightfuly belonged to Travers ac- cording to expert opinion. Some said it was force of habit while others claimed Trayers relinquished it to get a drink Of water.
 It was ideal gofing weather and the Apawamis course with it's three bound aries furnished setting for one of the most brilliant sporting pictures of the year. The cards of Hilton and Travers were:

Rye, N. Y, September 14.-At the close of the fourth day of play in the anna teur national golf championship the Amer ican defense against British goling su- premacy as represented by Harold M.
 Hilton of the Royal Liverpool club rests on Charles w. Insle of the Wykagil club of New Rochelle, N Y and the winner of tomorrows contest between Frederick Herreshoff, playing from the Ekwanok club of Manchester, Vt, and Charles Evans, Jr., of the Edgewater club, Chi cago.
 Hilton will play Inse tomorrow.
 Jerome D. Travers, twice American champion made gallant effort in inc third round to stop the British cham' pion but went down by 8 up and to play on the thirty-fourth green. More than 5000 golf enthusiasts tramped the 62oo yards of the Apawamis course twice to see what was probably the greatest go!fng struggle ever waged in the coun- try.
 The three other matches in the third round were absolutely neglected, yet Insle had to play 36 holes to defeat P. w. W nlltllOIe ol lHc OOuHtiy Siu' VI oiooh- line. Mass, 1 up, while Herreshoff was carried to the thrty-second green by Oswald Kirkby of Englewood.
 Chick Evans, after being three down at the end of the morning round, played record breaking golf in the afternoon and disposed of Albert Seckel of Riverside, Chicago, by up and l to play. Evans substantially kept on to the eighteenth hole in his afternoon match, where he established a new record for the course of an even 70. The former record of I1 was held by Herreshoff Because of this fast golf Evans is picked to defeat Here's hoff tomorrow and to many the smiling Chicago player is regarded as the Amer fear hope against Hilton. It took the executive board of the United States Golf association. assisted by the Rye commit tee, to keep the gallery within reason- able-bound behind the Hilton-Travers match, but all hands saw a battle of giants.
 Except for the first hole~in the morning and a slight slump during the first three holes in the afternoon Hilton was always master of the situation. and 1t was )nly by the most brilliant golf that Travers held him as well as he did. When they ended their morning play Travers walked off the 18th green with the remark ne much too fast for me-
 Yet the New Jersey player went out Tn the afternoon and fathomed three holes in succession and pulled Hilton's lead down from to i. Then the American

 President Jones and Manager Dobbs were with R. H. Baugh at the Country club yesterday morning. Manager Dobbs,. himself, did not look with favor on the transfer of the Mobile games.
 -Dobbs Is justly delighted with the show ing his team has made this season. and appreciates his popularity in Montgomery. He knows that he Is still within striking distance of the pennant and is still nop- ing.

Well, the grounds were not too wet to be play ed upon. Frank who had the entire. right to play or not, notified me of the off day by telephone. 1 protested, and fi- nally told him that he had it in the neck"
 The Barons are going to meet a team selected from all the teams of the City league Monday afternoon.
 This should be good game. Tt is q benefit game. and the proceeds will go into the pockets of the players them selves.
 The City league was fast this season. and an all-star team selected from tho number of clubs will be a corlsing good one.
 The fans of the city will doubtless strain point and witness the bout.

RACE FOR BAILEY'S
 PLACE TO BE WARM

San Antonio, Tex, September 14.-(Spe- al.)-Since Senator Bailey announced his determination not to stand for re- election, the senatorial bee has been very active and many heads have appeared above the surface who were never thought of before as senatorial possbil- ities.
 While the junior senator has put himself out of Texas politics and thereby settled troublesome question, the signs of the times do not indicate that the campaign for the office will be any less strenuous by the elimination of MT. Bailey. As usual in such cases, all kinds of predic- tions are made as to who can or cannot capture the nomination. At present every indication points to the activity of the prohibition and anti-prohibition elements in an effort to elect a successor to the Gainesville man.

The local team hit the ball timely and played splendid fielding games. Burleson oppos- ed Hess in the first and pitched fair ball until the eighth inning when four hits, a base on balls and some good base run' ming gave the home team five runs.
