new SCHOOL HOUSE PLANS ARRIVE
Blue Prints Show That Bnners Feys New School Building Will
Be Valuable Addition Present Equipment and Can Be Built for
Small Levy-Bids to Be Opened Wednesday, July rs

On the second floor there are two
large rooms at the rear of the build
ing separated by the stairway and
a toilet room. These are designated
as class rooms on the blue prints
but the board may decide to place
the seventh and eighth grades in
them. On the westerly end of the
building are two smaller rooms
designated as recitation rooms.
Extending across about two thirds
of the front of the second floor and
in depth about a third of the depth
of the building is large room for
science purposes. Between the
science room and the smaller reci-
tation rooms to the west there is a
small lobby and a toilet room.
Separating the science room from
the two class rooms in the rear,
there is large commodious hall
In brief there are large assem-
bly, room, recitation room, a Ii
brary, superintendent Office and
boys and girls toilet and lockers
on the first floor. On the second
floor one finds two large class
rooms, two smaller recitation rooms,
science room and two toilets.
The basement will not be finished
at present except so far as needed
for the heating plant. 1t is planned
to house the domestic and manual
training departments in the west
erly half of the basement at a later
date. The building will be so con-
structed as to permit building on to
it in an easterly direction as the
town grows.
The building, on account of the
size of the appropriation, will nee
cessarily not contain many decora-
tons or furbelows. On the other
hand it should present a very
comely appearance. One fact that
will probably surprise the patrons
of the school is that the building
can be erected for levy of about
three quarters of a mill on the dol
lar, according to statements made
by members of the school board
This will mean that the new build
ing will cost the taxpayers each
year "a cents on each hundred dol
lars of assessed valuation. The as
sessed valuation of property within
the school district is approximately
81, 5000

CHAUTAUQUA MAKES A BIG HIT
Program TO Be Given Here Pleases
Many in Oregon Town

The same Chautauqua program that
is to be given here beginning July 26
was presented at Bend, Ore, the first
week in July and made decided hit
with the people of that community
and a contract was closed for a re-
turn engagement at that place next
season. Speaking of the various num-
bers on the program the Bend Bulletin
said, in part:
The Hungarian Orchestra was I'M
doubtedly regarded as one of the best
parts of the program and its work
was very favorably received. Miss
Charlotte Bergh, who appeared with
the orchestra won instant favor with
her remarkably sweet voice and charm
ing personality. Arthur A.
Frankie and Senator Burkett, in more
serious discussions of present day
problems, presented their subjects in
a mastery manner. Senator Burk-
ett's lecture tonight, on Government
Ownership of Railroads" is looked for
ward to as one of the big numbers on
the program.
A special feature of Chautauqua
week for the children has been the
Junior Chautauqua under the super
vision of Miss Nelly Van Hook, who's,
ability and charm have made her {
favorite of the children. Miss Var
Hook has met the children every morn
ing in the big tent where she has tolC
stories and directed the children il

Boomers Ferry has had few days
of excitement and humor the like
of which has not been experienced
for many long week, and it has
all been due to the momentous
question involved in letting the
contract for the county printing.
Bids had been submitted by the three
local papers, the lowest bid being
submitted by J. M. Schnatterly's
recently established daily, the
Critic. As there seemed to be a
doubt in the minds of the commits
sioners as to Schnatterly's = re-
sponsibility, an investigation was
begun in order to obtain informa-
ton in this regard. Mr.. Schnat-
terly appeared before the board and
was put through an examination
by County Attorney leighton,
Schnatterly being represented by

the Dell Cane acreage south

picked this season over 600

otherwise and a chance to see the
country and the actual work that
is going on in this great western
section. When they have complet-
ed this trip they will be wiser and
better able to take care of the needs
of the west. 1t is unfortunate that
there are no more western congress
men on the committee but / have
every confidence in the committee
as it stands now and believe it will
give to Idaho and the west square
deal. "

PITIFUL STORY TO COUN-
TY ATTORNEY

Charging a statutory crime agains,
Ernest and Willie Meek, white boys
aged d3 and Is respectively, Etter
Goodman, 13 and very small for her
age, appeared before County Attorn-
ey Arthur Swank today and told her
pitiful little story. She was accom-
panied by Miss Sopher of this city.
who has taken an interest in the
case and will aid in the prosecution
of the boys and maybe their father.
The beginning of the crime dates
back several months. The two boys
live with their parents eight miles
northeast Of Guthrie. The little girl
lives with her father, her mother is
dead. The Goodmans ceme to 10
gan county from Tennessee about
eight months ago, They live alone

case than appears on the surface at
this time" said the county attorney
today.
The boys were arrested late this af-
ternoon.
