May Consider Three
High School Sites
Board Will Talk Further Of
Submitting That Plan
to Voters.

That three sites should be named
and submitted with the proposition
to erect high school building and
let the people of Chanu,e decide
between them at the sane time that
they vote for bonds was the decision
reached by the school beard in
their conference Monday evening
concerning the. proper housing of
the school children of the city.
This stand was taken upon a motion
of w. O. Davis and DR.. w. E.
Royster. To assist in bringing the
proposition to a focus a motion
made by Register and Davis was
carried which asked the chairman
of the board to appoint a committee
to select three sites to submit to
the board for its action at an ad-
journed meeting Friday evening
January ~. President Swank ap-
pointed A. B. Connell as chairman
of the committee and R. c. Ander-
son and w. C. Tomlinson as the
other members of it.
In the discussion leading up to
the action Professor Hughes stated
that 2S5 pupils of the grades are
now housed in buildings other than
those regularly erected for school
purposes. The Pioneer school
building could be arranged so as to
have at least eight rooms which
would accommodate at least 400
grade pupils and give scho ol capac-
ity for all children of school age in
the district.
In considering possible sites for
a high school building R. c. Ander-
son emphasized the importance of
having it near Main or Seventh
streets in order to avoid the temp
tatlon to which the students yield
of crossing the Santa Fe tracks
where there is no regular crossing.
All members recognized the value of
the suggestion and twill be taken
into consideration in the recommen-
dation of possible high school sites.

SAW INTERESTING HISTORIC POINTS

Mr.. and Mrs. j. w. Lapham who
returned Tuesday from their wedding
trip to Louisiana cities report very
interesting sight seeing outing. In
New Orleans they inspected the
st Louis hotel which is now almost
In RUNS, haying been built In 1895
1t was for many years the most
aristocratic hotel in the South,
lis construction having cost 5000, 900.
10 it was served an elaborate banquet
to Henry Clay at the time OF his
visit to New Orleans. Among the
historic buildings Of the city is the
CabildO, 200 years old, and long used
by Spauisn and French officials. In
it at one time General Lafayette
slept. and it was here that the pre-
liminary arrangements for the pur.
chase of Louisiana were econsummated.
Near 1t is the St Louis Cathedral
which is about $50 years old. Be-
tween the two buildings is narrow
thoroughfare known as Pirates Alley
to which in past years sea pirates
brought their booty and sold it 10 the
very teeth of the city authorities.
The great cemeteries also interest
tourists especially because Of the
many magnificent vaults. As New
Orleans is below the level of the
Mississippi uuder ground burials are as
few as possible. Mr.. and Mrs. Lapham
also took the trip out to Lake Pom
chartrian which is an arm of the
ocean. At Baton Rouge the most in.
teresting sight was the ancient castle
like Capitol building.
The only point outside of Louisiana
visited by Mr.. and Mrs. Lapham was
Vicksburg, Mississippi, where one of
the great national military cemeteries
is located on a part of the site of the
old battle field, The monument
erected by the state Of Illinois at a
cost OF $3.50, 1000, is one of the most
conspicuous in the cemetery. The
battle field itself where were seen the
positions occupied by the forces under
Grant and the Confederate line re-
sisting the siege was also Of much
interest to the visitors.
Mr.. Lapham is very enthusiastic
over the prospects for material de-
velopment in the South land hut does
not think he would care to live In
New Orleans where 1t was warm
enough on Christmas night to necess-
itate opening window.

CIVIC ART EXPERT COMING WEST

Superintendent ]. F. Hughes has
received a letter from Chas. H
Johnston dean of the School of E
ucation at the state university, with
special reference to MIS-. M. F.
Johnston of Richmond, Indiana who
is to deliver an address at the H Oh
School conference at Lawrence,
March IS. She is president of the
Art Association of her home town
which he's made remarkable prog
ress in the modern movement for a
combination of public education
with democratic art enlightenment.
Besides the address at the conference
Mrs. Johnston will be open to give
lectures in other towns for a week
on her western trip and it is this
phase of her work which perhaps
most especially interests Dean
Johnston who is an ardent advocate
of general culture in art in con
nection with school work. Pro-
fessor Hughes will seek to interest
the LADIES' clubs of Chanute in Mrs.
Johnston with the hope of having
her come here for an address.

ALMOST METHUSALEH'S AGE

According to an article contained
in the Thayer News of Friday we
learn of the poor health of H. Saw
age. president of the First National
Bank of that place. The News
states that Mr.. Savage will soon re-
move to Arizona where he has rela-
tives, including his father who is
500 years old.
This sort of weather makes us all
feel that we would like to be resi-
dents of Arizona and enjoy their
sunshine for awhile, to say nothing
of the old age they attain.

Fire Damaged Sew
eral Good Buildings
Hoshaw Drug Co. and the
Smoke House Pool Hall
Suffered.

After having had no run for over
a month business finally picked up
with the fire department and it had
two Main street fires within twenty
four hours. The first alarm was
turned in from the Manhattan hotel
between $500 and 6 o'clock Sunday
morning for fire that had been dis
covered in the rear of the hall over
the Hoshaw Drug Co. store. The
blaze had started in between the
floor of the hall and the ceiling OF
the drug store. No ons concerned
can explain the origin of the fire
though it seems possible that it was
started by the crossing of electric
wires. Though the extreme cold
continually threatened to freeze up
the hose completely the fire men
were able to put Out the flames
quite promptly. Besides burning
through both the floor and ceiling
the fire had eaten into a room on
either side of the hall. The west
room was occupied as a sleeping
room and the east was one of DR..
u. G.. Hoshaw's office rooms. The
loss was the greatest in the latter as
a fine case containing surgical in
struments was ruined. In both
rooms and IN the store below water
added to the damage by fire. The
building belongs to B. S. Justice
who estimated his loss Monday
at from $3.50 to 5000 fully covered
by insurance.
The second alarm was turned in
about 1880 Mon. morning by the
might man at the Coulter Transfer
Co. Office for a fire that had broken
out in the Smoke House pool hall
near the door to the closet under
the stairway at the east side OF the
room. The blaze was discovered
by a stranger who was going through
Chanute with a car load of stock
and who was returning west to the
Santa Fe tracks after having been
down the street to restaurant.
When Chief McClane and his men
arrived the east side of the room
was In flames but he was able to
extinguish the fire before it spread
to the stairway above the closet,
The ceiling was however sufficiently
burned to allow the smoke to get
through and blacken the rooms
above.
7. M. Rickel, the proprietor OF
the Smoke House, this morning
stated his belief that the fire had
started in the supply of tobacco
stacked at the east side of the room
from a cigar stub carelessly thrown
by some one before the hall was
locked up about 1890. A slight
exnIosion was heard about the time
that the blaze must have started,
and it is supposed that the fire must
have smoldered until that time. A.
B. Blazier, the merchants night
watchman had passed the building
after ~ o'clock and had seen
nothing wrong. The water caused
even more damage than the fire to
MIR Rickel who estimates his loss at
kraoo or more, covered by insur-
lnce. The damage to the building
Which is owned by DR.. ]. H. Light
kill probably amount to least $500,
llso covered by insurance.

Following the IA Important I'M
provements" Of 1912, The Hendee Mfg
Company announce no less than a doz-
en- additional new features in their
1913 model Of the Indian Motorcycle.
BY far the most significant feature of
the new machine Is the Cradle Spring
Frame. 1t is something entirely new,
q radical departure from the conven-
tional bicycle and recent motorcycle
systems Of ''springing." Briefly. the
new device consists of the application
to the rear wheel of the Indian Cradle
Spring device as used on the front fork
for the past three years.
Extending back horizontally from
the frame joint cluster under the sad
die, flanking the rear mud guard. are
two 7-leaf Chrome Vanadium steel
springs. The &C" shaped curls at the
rear end Of these springs are connected
by stays to bell-cranks on which the
rear axle Is hung. The forward end Of
the rear fork has hinge joint which
enables the rear wheel to yield to Inn
projections of road surface. All shocks
are completely absorbed by the leaf
springs. The rear wheel can 60 through
almost any vertical motion without at
fecting the body of the machine There
