EARLY Ia the spring Professor W. II
Olln of the University of Idaho was
a visitor in the city and met with
the Commercial Club regarding the
holding of the school here this fall.
At that time there Was a big attend
anoe OF the mem bers of the CONNER
oial Club present and one and all
we're In hearty support OF the plan.
Shortly afterwards petitions were
made out by Secretary Taylor and
many signatures we're secured, asking
for the holding of the school here,
and promising not alone financial
assistance, but what was more I'm
pOrtant the attending OF all or al
least large number of the meetings.
Secretary Taylor shortly afterwards
left on a trip east and the petitions
we're not sent to the state committed
who have charge of the school. Sinos
that time these petitions have most al
become misplaced and 1t is the worl
of getting like petitions resigned
that Mr.. Chambers will undertake
this week. The Commercial Club haE
we'll chosen In getting Mr.. Cham ber
to have charge of the work as he is
man tskbughly familiar with th'
local oohdfions, the people, and tn

men who is IN charge of the Stat
Movable Agricultural School Was
visitor In the city the latter part O
last week 10 regard to the school, b
desiring to learn IL the st. Marie
people had dropped the proposition
stating that II the school was nc
wanted here. It would be an cas-
matter tor them to secure some othe
northern city to hold It in.
The meeting of the Commercil
Club Saturday evening was for th
purpose of reconsiderinR the pro
position and to take action Ia tf
matter, aud as the united opinio
of those present was for the securiu
of the school, as each and every on

sion each year.
The matter of finance is not q se
ious one a. all that is required
the expenses of the several men wi
will have the school In charge, {
gether with the renting OF suitab
nall for the holding OF the meeting
This last was easily remedied
the fact that the new high scho
auditorium will be ready by that tiI
and the school may be held the
free OF charge. AS It is the desl
OF the State authorities TO not ho

dance Of less than $50 will be b
