The annual meeting of the stock

a larae..majority of the l35 mem
bers were in attendance.
Chairman N. II. Jacobs of the

From the annual report of this big
institutions affairs it was shown to

ton. 1t was organized six years ago

M. E. Sunday School Picnic.

No picnic is success without an
abundance of rain, and from that
standpoint the Methodist Sunday
school picnic, yesterday should have
been hummer and it was. In spite
of the fact that it had rained the
night previous, and the weather
looked threatening, good number
went to the tramway, seven miles
east of town and in spite of the wet
showers and the cold wave had a
splendid time.
A goodly supply of eatables had
been prepared and the younsters did
not seem to mind the rain or chilly
weather. The home journey was
begun at about five o'clock and ar
rived here all the way from seven
until half past nine in the evening.
The only accident of any note,
befell Mrs. A. w. Mitchell which is
described elsewhere. All in all, the
big occasion will be long remembered
by the little folks as a most pleasant
treat. Of course, nearly everyone
came home thoroughly drenched to
the skin, or it wouldn't have been
considered picnic, at all, at all.
While angling in Lawyers creek
at the Harris ranch one day last
week, Roy Farrar saw an animal
that made him feel very lonesome
He describes it as being a stranger
to these parts-a monster, gray beast
of the build of wolf but bigger than
any cougar he ever heard of. "Why"
he said," it made track 7 inches
wide and 10 long" Maybe it was
one of the elephants that had broken
loose from the circus bills posted
about town.

IDAHO HIGH SCHOOLS
Under New Law Not Pupil But District
Must Pay Increased High School
Attendance the Result,

High school students will, wher
the fall term of school opens ant
from that time on, be given free
tuition. This announce ment wa.
made yesterday, said Sundays Boise
Capital News, by C. E. Rose, super.
intendent of the schools of Boise
who gave out extracts of the Law
passed by the last legislature making
this possible. Il means a saving of
not Ii tie money to parents of high
schools who were forced under the
old law to pay tuition so that their
children could attend high school.
By the terms of the new law the dis
tricts in which these students live
will have TO bear the expense in the
future.
Extracts from the new law (article
%, Idaho school laws) making free
tuition possible as compiled and
issued by Superintendent Rose, fol-
lows:
Section 1876. All school districts
within the state of Idaho which do
not maintain four-year high school
shall pay tuition for pupils of such
district who have completed the
course offered therein, and who de-
sire to attend high school in another
district. If the two districts are in
the same county, the amount of tu-
ition as hereinafter set forth shall be
transferred by the county superin-
tendent from the district wherein the
pupil resides to the district wherein
he attends high school from the
county school fund. If the two dis
tricts are in different counties, the
county superintendent of one county
shall remit to the county superin-
tendent of the other county and the
amount remitted shall be charged to
the account of the school district
wherein the pupil lives and credited
to the high school. Payment of such
high school tuition shall be judged
part of the necessary minimum ex-
pense of any district in applying
special aid under section 81, chapter
l59. laws 1911, as amended by Sec
tion Q of chapter 13, laws 1912.
Section 1877. The ma ximum rate
of tuition shall be three dollars
$500 per pupil per school month
with the exception that high schools
maintaining departments of agricul-
ture, home economics, manual train
ing or vocational work may receive
four dollars ($400) per school month
when at least ~ such departments
are approved by the county superin-
tend of public instruction and the
state board of education. Tuition
shall be charged monthly and a
fraction of a month shall be deemed
a month. No district which received
aid under section 81 of chapter l59,
laws 1911, as amended by section
of chapter Is of the laws 1912,
shall charge more than three dollars
($3.00) per month tuition,

The JAG VISITORS

In order to prevent repetition OF
the trouble of last week. when 50
many employed at Carney Point came
here, and, after becoming intoxicated,
were unable 20 pay their fines and
crowded the City Hall and workhouse,
the Police Commission will get an
opinion as to whether it can stop un-
desirable citizens as they land from
the boats coming from New Jersey.
If this can be done, a list of the
men fined in City Court or who have
caused other trouble here will he
furnished to the police at the wharf
and they will not allow them to
land
1t is declared there is little chance
OF the same men causing trouble
again. because the DUPONT Company
has discharged most of those who
have come to Wilmington and we're
arrested and there will be no place
for those who are now in Jail.

Inventor viii Risk Confla-
grafton to Prove Extin-
guisher Is Good
FAILURE WILL
MEAN BIG BLAZE

By far the most venturesome ex-
ploit ever attempted in the face Of
such an extreme FIRE hazard is sched-
uled to take place in the midst of
Marcus Hooks cluster of oil works,
next week. when a lighted match will
be carefully tossed into the middle of
an 10000 gallon tank of oil. Incredi-
BILE as it may seem. this wanton ex-
posure of many thousands of dollars
worth of property to destruction will
not be the atealthy act of a firebug.
Not only will It have the official sane
tion Of Chester's fire and police au-
thorities. bur the fire will be witness
ed by a large party of insurance Of
hcials and Philadelphia, Camden and
Chester business men, beside repre-
sentatives of many of the largest oil
concerns throughout Pennsylvania,
New York and New Jersey.
If there is any doubt in the minds
Of the spectators as to just what will
happen at the instant of contact be-
tween the oil and the blazing match,
this doubt will be dispelled by the
first puff of yellow flame. A few sec
onds later thick columns of heavy
black smoke will merge into a murky
pillar of cloud slowly mounting sky
ward from The roaring inferno of the
tank. As the oonflagration gets fully
under way tho steel sheets around the
rim of the tank will start to bulge
and warp under the intense heat
Within a stones throw of the burn
Ing tank are others holdings hun
dreds of thousands of gallons of oil
Failure win Ruin Inventor.
Should the fire go unchecked fol
any length Of time it is almost a Ger
tainty that the white-hot tank vii
finally yield o the strain and LEI
loose a fiery orient that will scatter
the spectators and spread the flame:
TO other tanks But while the flames
are leaping their highest one Of th'
workmen about the plant will turT
on a small valve controlling a line o
two-inch pipe running into the tank
Then it will be learned whether ol
not it is possible to control and ex
tinguish an oil fire of this size.

protection engineer with Offices il

stop the blaze almost instantly with ;
mysterious solution he has discover
ed, but even Tor quenching a fire owe
such a large surface the cost will b.

of many thousands of dollars. If tn
test proves successful in spite of sucl
adverse conditions, and Walker de
rlared it will. lis discovery shoul
prove of immense value.
