Using the county Jail for basket
ball practice with games is the plan
of the girls of the High school. In
view of the fact that the upper part
of the Jail is not being used. as there
is no one to put in it, Principal r. w.
Leighton of the High school has put
up a proposition to Sheriff Thompson
whereby some money may be realized
to the county and at the same time
give the basketball team good accom-
mediation for team practice The floors
are of hard wood and as the windows
are grated no expense will be required
to fit it up. The matter to be arrang-
ed now is to have an entrance from
the outside, for if the team enters
through the regular way it will have
to remain there until the turnkey let's
IL out. This place is sought by the
school as a last resort, as there seems
to be no other place that can be Sc
cured, though the town has many
halls.

the exception of voluminous sounds |
from Mr.. Viles.
