1t viii be noticed that the rooms are
about filled with students enrolled
last year. The present number of
teachers will be able to take care of
the situation provided that no great
influx of students comes during the

teachers will be necessary. The list
is one short Of last year and addition
al teachers may be employed as the
enrolment demands.
In the high school, more crowded
conditions exist than in the grades at
present writing. The teachers expect
in the neighborhood of 200 students
with but five teachers and a very
hard schedule. Students are request
ed to register Friday, as the teachers
intend to make up the schedule of
classes Saturday and viii not be able
TO keep the office open for enrolment
later than Friday. Students register
ing late will be compelled to accept
the schedule as it is made up and Sc
lect their subjects from those offered

Cow Killed by Train.

Reub Eaton's family milk COW was
killed Monday by train on the Idaho
Northern. His oldest son was mixed
up in the accident some way and was
quite badly hurt, and was unconscious
until the next morning. The cow was
being driven across the railroad track
by the boy, who was also leading a
horse. How the boy was injured is
not known, but the supposition is
that the horse knocked him down
when it took fright at the train.

D. ". DAVIS N0MINAT-
ED FOR COVE RNOR
Fate of L. V. Patch and of JUS
tice Sullivan in Doubt
Barker Easy Winner.

With complete returns in from 375
of the most populous precincts in
both the northern and southern parts
of the state D. w. Davis of American
Falls is certain of the Republican
nomination for governor with total
vote of 1920. Only one of his three
opponents ran above 5000, Crum hav-
ing only 1907, Captain Davis 1862
and Taylor CLOS. The vote of the
American Falls man so far equals
that of any two of his opponents.
Two places on the ticket are in
doubt In the contest for the nomin-
alton for lieutenant governor B. NJ.
Holt had 1858 votes to his credit,
and Captain L. " Patch has 1904.
This close race, with a difference Of
only 594 between the two men, will
probably have to wait for official
count for decision.
John C. Rice is probably certain to
be one of the two non-partisan nom
inees for Justice of the supreme court.
Wednesday night he had 1884 votes,
Robert n Dunn had 9506, and Judge
1. N. Sullivan had S688. Dunn's lead
is only 818, and later returns may up
set the present standings of the three,
though Rice's lead is expected to
grow.
p,,r+or Lrarob apd Add;ron IT
Smith continue with more than safe
leads as the Republican candidates
for congress, French having 1885
and Smith 1868, with McCracken
third with 9593 and Elliott a fourth
with 4245.
George R. Barker increased his lead
for secretary of state as the counts
came in on Wednesday and at the
close had 10,61S: johnson was second
with I'LL and Wallace last with 4093.
George w. Lewis also had a grow
ing majority for state auditor and
closed with 1905. His nearest oppon-.
ent was Folsom with 561S; Park
hurst came next with 1884 and Bar
rows tailed with 2697.
There was never any doubt about /
the nominee for state treasurer after /
the first scattering precincts sent in
their returns, and John w. Eagleson
had polled the largest individual vote
on the ticket with 14,341 against 6904
for Fisk, his running mate.
NJ. J. Sweeiey's lead for attorney
general was well maintained on Wed
lesday, and he closed with 7543 The
,ther three candidates trailed as fol-
ows: Sunderlin 5420, Smith 4571
md Fox 1910.
Ethel E. Redfield of Lewiston has
more than a safe lead for state su-
of public instruction with
1909 votes to her credit. against a
-ote of $3.50 for Miss Catherine Bry-
len, her only competitor.
