GOOD ROADS MEETING

The attendance at the luncheon
and good roads meeting of the Cham
Der of Commerce last Saturday was
rather disappointing, considering the
program arranged. State
Highway Commissioner Roy gave an
excellent talk on ,the Improvement
and maintenance of earth roads, and
James T. Schuyler. the government
expert discussed Road Mainten-
ance" in a practical way Probably
the most interesting address was
given by Harold J. Doolittle, an en-
gineer of the state highway depart
ment. He discussed the Importance
OF locating roads on the right grade,
with proper curves, and illustrated
his remarks with stereopticon views
of portions of the Inland Empire
highway, showing how improve
ments had been made over old roads
by lowering the grades eliminating
grade crossings over the railroads
and doing away with sharp curves.

A BETTER PULLMAN
WAS THE SUBJECT
business Men Discuss Question of
Establishing Community Center
in This City

A number OF business men met at
che Chamber of Commerce building
last Sunday afternoon to discuss
ways and means of solving a number
CT pressing problems. Mayor Jack
son presided and first called upon
Prof. Pickett, who discussed the boy
problem and the necessity of pro-
viding some place where the boys of
Pullman can spend their leisure
hours in wholesome amusements in
stead of loafing about the streets.
He urged that the boys should be
required to pay something for the
privilege of such a place and should
be given an opportunity to earn the
money by being provided with odd
jobs around town,
Rev. j. w. Caughlan called atten-
ton to the fact that some citizens
are working Off a public play
ground, others for a swimming pool,
others for a rest and reading room,
and still others for a place of amuse-
m ent for the boys. All these objects
are worthy and desirable but the
best and surest way of attaining
them is by centralizing interests and
efforts.
l.. t.. Wenham advocated the i'm
portance of providing and maintain
ing a rest room for the country peo-
rle who come to Pullman to trade.
j. J VanBruggen urged the neces-
sityy of a swimming pool and gym
nasium and told of how one had been
established at Bull, Idaho, and was
proving a great success.
A. S. Wilson gave an interesting
account of what has been accom-
plished along these lines in other
places and urged that all the require
nents could be met by community
center building provided with
large assembly and dance hall,
reading and rest room, gymnasium
and swimming pool, bowling alleys
and a gathering place for the boys.
W. l.. Greenawalt in discussing
the question, What We Can Do, ar
gued that it would be possible to de-
wise some plan by which to raise a
building fund of some 100000, for
community center and that once es-
tablished it could be made self-sup-
porting.
A general discussion followed, at
ter which the chairman appointed a
committee to investigate the FEAST
bility OF the plans suggested and de-
wise ways and means for their ac-
complishment.

upon the school board rests the re
sponsibility of saying yes or no in the
matter OF the expenditure of school
funds. We find it would always be
easy to say yes to the expenditure Of
funds, but some times imperative,
though perhaps more difficult, to
say no
In order that we may be able to
say no only at the right time and
place, it becomes the duty of the
school board to make a thorough an
alysis of the financial condition of
the district and of the needs of the
schools, to the ultimate end that our
schools may be maintained to the
very highest possible standard of eff
ficiency compatible with a reason
able degree of taxation.
Your school board has endeavored
to the best of its ability to make this
analysis.
Beginning with July !, 1913, we
find the financial statement for the
year ending with June 80. 1914, to
be as follows;

A Jury in the superior court found

against George O'Donnell in SUIT
brought by Baxter TO recover dam
ages for hogs alleged to have been

he did it with malice and intent ac-
cording to the finding of the jury
to poison the hogs.

Managing the financial affairs of
the school district is apparently a
very simple problem. But it's sim
plicity is not quite so apparent to the
school board sometimes when they
make an attempt to meet the desires
of the people of the district.
Many times we realize the fact
that there are number of very de-
sirable things which might be done
If we only had the necessary funds.
The average school district is d
combination of all the people within
the district into one public individual
endowed with the same inclination
to desire things beyond its financial
ability to obtain which is inherent in
the average human being.
The school board is the personifi-
cation Of this public individual and

Total expenditures $29, 615.00
In making the levy for this year
we attempted to keep within the
legal limit of 10 mills and succeeded
in doing it. But next year it will be
almost impossible to do this. We
have kept the expenses as low this
year as it was possible to do, and
lower than they should be to give
school grounds the attention they
should have, and to make some
other necessary Improvements and
repairs.
1t seems that the levy for several
years is bound to run pretty high.

A CRESCENT OF RUINS.
The Curious Old Cliff Dwellings Of the
National Mesa Verde.

Inc CURIOUS OIo Gin dwellings, OF the
National Mesa Verde.
In the Mesa Verde National park. in
southwestern Colorado. are 300 cliff
dwellings. Of which only the three lar
gest have been repaired. The largest
ruin. called Cliff palace. stands about
thousand feet above the bottom of
the canyon and 300 feet below the top
of the ledge. All the houses connect
and open into one another, the entire
settlement forming crescent about
300 feet in length from end to end.
AS We contemplate these silent ruins
it is hard to believe that at one time
they resounded with the hum of indus
try. the laughter of children. the dron
ing Of priests. and the strident cry OF
the sentinels calling the warriors to
battle. The jewellers Of these aban
doned communities have left no writ
zen record. but the shape of the struc-
lures and the relics that have been
dug from the debris Of centuries give
some idea Of how these people lived
and moved and had their being.
The main houses were built on a
ledge close to Its front, and back of
this was an open space that answered
the purpose Of court. street. a play,
ground or place for Industrial pur-
suits. such rs weaving and pottery
making. At intervals along the front
were towers and bastons. and in the
interior were kivas or secret chambers
used for religious ceremonies. In ev
cry village were storehouses to pro
vid supply Of provisions in times Of
war or failure Of crops.
