CONTINUED from First Page

The senior class day exercises yes
terday afternoon at 3 o'clock consti-
tuted one of the most interesting pro-
grams of the commencement. The ex-
ercises began in the college audito-
rum, with an original class song and
class poem, which was read by Miss
Glenn Kirkland. An illustrated cal
endar, showing college scenes in tab

characterized all the commencement
programs.
On the whole, the exercises, numer-

cessful and highly entertaining. In
all the numbers presented, there was
not suspicion of failure, every stu
dent carrying out her part gracefully
and perfectly.

Attorney John w. Jones hes this
week moved into his new offices 4
tho corner of Main street east and Pa
cific. The exterior of the building Is
of pressed brick, and the interior con.
/ sists of two of the best lighted, most
beautifully equipped suits Of offices
in the state The structure Is q cred
it to the structural ability Of one of
Blackfoot's prominent contractors, Mar
Gus Meister, and in it's appointments
shows that Mr.. Jones knew what he
wanted and built it.
The United States land Office occupi Z
the south half of the building, and all
appropriation was made to furnish the
new quarters in manner befitting
the building.
The building is heated with hot
water throughout. A janitor is in
charge all the time and everything is
immaculate. The outside walls are
5Ox7O, making the Jones suites 25x7O
feet, which is used as a reception
room, library 25x4O feet, with prob
ably the most complete law library in
Idaho, and a consultation room in tho
rear 25x15 feet.
John Jones, whose younger years
were spent in his fathers printing
office, has practiced law eleySn years
in Blachoot, and through honesty to
his clients, his blunt way of informing
a client whether or not the latter had
an action at law he might or might
not win, has won for him the esteem
and patronage that have enabled him
to build the handsome quarters which
he now occupies. 8tlt

mist withdraws' from the field of journ

joyed in the old and which he so
richly deserves as a square attorney
