SCHOOL BOARD MEETING OF GRANGE
VILE DISTRICT ON monday EVENING

and the condition among teachers al
most as alarming. 1t was thought
best to close the schools for a period
of two weeks to have the building
thoroughly fumigated and aired, and
to make every effort possible to check
and to stamp out the contagion of such
an epidemic.
Therefor, as such condition prevails,
it was moved by Parsons, seconded by
Urbahn, that under the circumstances,
as above stated, that the schools be
closed for period of two weeks, COM
mencing on the 18th of December and
re-opening on the Goth day of Decem-
Der 1915 and the motion was carried.
Fire Escapes Not Required.
The matter of outside fire escapes,
was taken up and as the State Health
department at Boise had given an
opinion on the points in question, is
ws considered by the board, that the
matter of compliance with the laws of
the state had been respected, that the
building had fire escapes that were
within the requirement and that it was
not the desire of the board at this
time to incur further expense in add
ing such other equipment as has been
discussed, but that in some future
period, when the funds of the district
were in better condition, the board
would recommend the construction of
out side escapes, as an added security
to the present equipment.
The matter of rental of quarters to
the newly organized company of State
Militia in the old school building was
taken up, but as the wants of that
body and their ideas of space and the
uses of such space as they desired, had
not been specified by their representa-
tives (whom were not present at the
meeting) it was left to the unfinished
business of the meeting to be brought
up at later meeting.
No other business coming before the
board the meeting was then declared
adjourned to the next regular meeting
date, which will be on the evening OF
the second Monday of January, 1916

Joe GEDEON
TO PLAY BALL HERE
Manager Griffith Learns Athlete
Never Waa Signed by Any :,
Federal League Club. q

Manager Griffith confidently expects
Joe Gedeon to report to the Washing
ton base ball club an .dthinks there
will be no strings attached to his com
ing. According to information received
by the Nationals manager today. there
will be no claim on Gedeop other than
that held by the Nationals.
Griffith received letter from Joe
Cantillon this morning apprising him
of the fact that Charley Weeghman
had made the statement that the Fed
eral League had never signed Gedeon
at any time. This information was inn
parted to Cantillon direct by Weegh-
man. Griffith, basing his expectations
on this, naturally thinks there will be
not the least trouble about Gedeon
coming back to Washington.
Gedeon was with the Nationals sea-
SON before last and by his aggressive
ness and general all-round play show
ed much promise. He was sent back to
Los Angeles, in the Pacific Coast
League, where he began to improve.
LAST season he was with Salt Lake City
and was considered one of the most
valuable all-round players in the cir
cult.

The chairman of the Bolivian delega-
tion, Senior Ignacio Calderon. said, in
Nothing could better interpret the
lofty aims of the American republics
than this meeting. Freedom Is a gift
that is only given to nations who know
how and are ready to defend 1t.
Let us work together for the principle
of right and justice. of liberty and hap
piness.'

cation. st. Domicio Da Cana. said. in

powerful spirit of pan-Americanism"
The vice chairman of the Chilean
delegation, Sr. Julio Philippi. said, in
part:
"Ail American countries are ruled by
a similar type of national government:
the ways of attaining 1t have been
divers. Material interests do not, as a
rule. unite nations. and the interests
WHICH unite americans are necessarily
of q far higher order"
The chairman of the delegation from
Colombia said, in part:
Americas destiny cannot be attain
ed by conquest or unjust exploitation;
1t must be arrived at by and through
justice" He went on to suggest that

Congress, a congress of justice be held,
to unite all Americans for the benefit
Of humanity.

The chairman Of the delegation from

across the Atlantic, have banded to-
gether in order that bonds OF their Sc
curity and peace may be strengthened
and assured"
The chairman of the Cuban delega-
tion, Senor DR.. Carlos Manuel de Ces-
pedes. said in part:
"The impressiveness of this solemn
moment is transcribed only by our
ultimate purposes. The fruits of the
palms of our hands as a New Year gift
from pan-America to the world, re-
futing the charges of those who op-
pose the general policy Of Pan-Ameri-
canism."
