High School Items.

NOW THAT LuG lOOL OdAl oCdoOH 10
over, there is a chance to look
around at what the high school is
doing and preparing for the winter.
The high school may take part in
Joint debate with Hudson and some
other neighboring school during the
winter. The first steps have been
taken, and final arrangements are
expected soon.
Some time about March IA will
occur the annual high school ora
torical and declamatory contests.
These must be out of the way of the
league contest which is set for
March %, probably at Ellsworth.
The public schools will give an
exhibit of pictures during the last
week of February, the purpose be-
ing the purchase of new pictures
for the schools. Contract has been
made for the exhibit Feb. "a to Mar.
l; particulars as to place, etc., will
be given later.
Miss Ruth Johnson, who recently
took Miss Casson's place in the
school, has charge of the girls
glee club. The mere mention of
this fact is a warrant of excellent
work. These three musical organ
izations plan to combine in an en-
tertainment to be given in the Opera
House Feb. IA. Watch for the
particulars.
On Tuesday, March IL, 1913 un-
der the patronage of the Public and
Normal schools, Mr.. Benjamin
Chaplin will give his four act mono
logue, Abraham Lincoln" in the
Opera House. This is one of the
finest things coming to River Falls
this year, and one that people can
we'll afford to wait for. Note the
time and place.
The school has an orchestra
Under the leadership of Miss Hol'
brook it is progressing finely, and
will be one of the factors in the
public doings of the school during
the rest of the year. Miss Holbrook
also has charge of the boys glee
club, to which large part of the
bows of the high school belong, anc
which will be heard from later.
A part of the class of 1918 will
finish it's work on January II. The
following expect to finish at that
time: Hazel Green, Earl Chinook
Lewis Manion, Dana Oakley, Rich
ard Smith. 1t is not planned to have
any graduation execirses in Jan
uary, the final graduation comins
at the end of the year when from
twenty to twenty-five more will
| graduate.

At this meeting the Post gained
four in membership to its ranks.
The Post Commander announced
that this was the regular annual
meeting for the election of officers
for the ensuing year, and detailed
20. D." Pratt, IS. M" Bailey, and
comrade Jones tellers of election.
The officers elected for the year

Delegates to the Department En-
campment and Trustees were not

A call was made for money to
assist the Lincoln University En-
dowment Association to erect an
Administration Building upon the
grounds at Cumberland Gap, Ten
nessee, to be used for the education
of the poor white children living in
the Southern mountains.
READ This state will do nothing
to assist these poor people in that
section. During the Civil War they
were true Union people, and when
Gen. Otis o. Howard, at the head
of the Eleventh Corps, marched
through that section in December,
1868, some of his soldiers were
without overcoats or blankets, and
some were barefoot. Women and
children brought them food, and
men took off their shoes and gave
them to the soldiers who had none
Our Post donated $1,000 toward the
fund.
Comrade Bailey read a letter from
his old captain, B. M. Frees, of Co.
H, 38th Wis. Inf, who now lives in
California. The letter contained
many good points of interest, and
was greatly appreciated by all the
members who heard it.
Commander Knowles called upon
our visiting comrade for speech
Comrade Fuller responded to the
call in fine shape. He spoke oil
our fine home, the way it was fur
nished, and the way in which the
Grand Army work is performed in
the Post, but the most touching
thing in his remarks was when he
talked about his comrades of the
3Oth Wis. Inf.
Comrade Fuller, you will always
find the latch string of the |. N
Nichols Post hanging out, and it is
hoped by all the members that you
will visit us often this winter while
you are living in the city.

 atIons, no matter how widely they may be extended.
 As a beginning the lnonorail twill receive it's first American in trpduction in San 'Ffanoisco some time this fall. This system will be set up immediately to give demonstrations for the man. agement of the 1915 exposition.
 Harbor View and Golden Gate park, which will form the two great wings of the exposition. are about five miles apart. The nnnorail will be used as a con- meeting link to carry composition visitors from one area tn tho oth- Ter.
 The monorail, Roscnr believes, will De the greatest boon to Alas ka ever created. It's principle is now familiar to almost every newspaper and magazine reader In the world. IL has the advan- lage of almost limiilcss speed in addition te ifs small requirement m tn" way of trackagr. To illus lraic this R0Scnc this morning inoInied out the case of Ihc Con- per River railroad, which was built from Cnrdova. Alaska, 200 miles through glacier and noun lam passes tn a copper mine in the interior. It is estimated inc cost Was s3O,nOO. .OOO.
 The mon"rail could be put in L" Fairbanks from the end of the Copper River railroad for cost not to exceed S3,0O0,OOO, says R"S"n". and aficr completion it's maintenance expense would be less Than $500. .000 a year. The irafin on northern roads cannot b" heavy for many wears vel. R"Ssnr has made thorough study and most comprehensive investigation of the mnnnrail and is familiar with every phase of il. He sp"nI three months in two voyages to England personally studying the mechanism, and had investigations and scientific studies made by the greatest en- gineering authorities he could ob- tain. Never, he declared, was he able to find an expert who could question the practicability of the igyroscope principle as ii has been applied by Brennan.
 Such construction as Rbsene pictures in Alaska would be the , first facilities ever afforded that could serve as substitute for pack trains. This means that no part of the north would be inacces iblc , to cheap transportation from the Itime the mOnOrail went into it.

Jim Stuart Has
 IL On Carl Morris
Brooklyn Boxer Wins Ter Round Bout From White
 Hope on Cleve.neSS

Jim Stewart, the Brooklyn Adonis, kept Carl Morris at bay for ten rounds at the Carlyle A. C., in Brooklyn, last night, and gained the decision on cleverness. The cumbersome Ok aho- man failed to do any material dam age to the Eastern heavyweight, al- though he roughed it at every oppor- tunity. A bump under Stewards left eye was the extent of damage done by Morris, while the Westerner's features were badly gashed by Stewards sting ing jabs.
 Stewart showed up in front in eight rounds, while the first six were even. In these sessions Morris threatened to wipe Stewart all over the ring, but the Brooklynite gauged his punches and landed them precisely as Morris rushed in. Morris plugged away at c ose range, but when he found that he could not inflict any damage, he became discouraged and permitted Stewart to get in his handy work at a distance.
 Stewart fought in the same fashion throughout. He jabhed several times with his left. enraging the Sapulpa giant, and as the latter rushed in, Stewards mighty right was awaiting the original white hope.'' Stewart landed many clean blows, and repeat edly slowed up Morris with solid punches to the body.
