The school board met last Friday
and adopted plans and specifications
for the new school building The pro-
posed building will be a two-story
brick structure with eight rooms, and
will cost about $27,00000. The board
will meet again Saturday and fix a
time for holding a bond election. The
proposed bonds will be for about $780,
100000 to cover cost of building and
site. Several proposals for sites have
been submitted to the board but no de-
finite action will be taken in this mat
ter until after the bond election. The
board has been working overtime in
their efforts to secure the best plans
to meet the requirements of the school
at the least possible cost to the tax
payers. The necessity for the addi-

and it Is expected that the bond cleo

1t is a far cry from the prices that
were in vogue two years ago to those
that prevail at the present time. How
ever, they have done nothing more
than realize the anticipations of
shrewd observers, who, early in the
history of activities, when the war
commenced predicted war prices or
famine prices for merchandise. There
are many excellent reasons for the
conditions that exist, Notwithstanding
the fact that the general public has
been slow to realize the true situa-
ton. This, however, is not surprising
when professional buyers, whose bust
ness it is to keep in close touch with
developments and to anticipate them,
were equally slow in discounting the
true tendency. In fact many sellers
of cloth did not appraise the situa-
ton correctly. Before the war began
it was consistently pointed out that
inevitably there must be higher prices
for wool. as the flocks of sheep the
world over were not keeping pace with
the demands upon them, and therefore
wool was becoming shorter in sup
ply from year to year, while the de-
mand for it was increasing

Not Permit Deficiencies.

AS the close Of the year approaches
it is developing in all departments of
the state government that the APP
preparations provided by the last leg
islature left no large amount of sur
plus Of money to be expended at this
time. Even in the governors office
it has become evident that only the
most rigid economy will permit of the
conduct of it's affairs with the money
in hand. The governor has served no
tice on all officers that no one will
be permitted to create debt that can
not be paid in full from the present
appropriation. Whether this interdic-
ton on debt by the governor is intend
ed to apply to debts contracted by the
state highway is the subject of some
what heated controversy. Most of the
controversalists do not think that he
intended to go that far, and that the
states Indebtedness on account of
highway construction with the money
belonging to counties and districts will
be paid by the coming Democratic
legislature with the approval of the
governor. The state highway COM
mission at the beginning of 1915, was
given the proceeds of a bond sale of
100000. During the two years
something like half as much more
came into the fund through auto IL
censes and from other sources. The
highway commission built roads in
various parts of the state at a total
cost of over a million dollars, the
state paying one-third of the cost and
the counties or interested districts the
other two-thirds. This was the prac-
tice while the states money lasted.
But after this was exhausted the high
way commission did not stop, PREFER
ing to borrow from the counties and !
districts for the states third of the
cost, under an agreement to repay the |
money from future bond issues or leg
islature appropriations. Many attor-
neys claim that this action by the
highway commission constituted the
creation Of deficiency and was in
contravention of the law.

But Harland is not the only present
holder of a state job, who is anxious
to look into the crystal bowl and see
his fate mirrored as continuing in, the
present fat job. Not many Of them,
however, have any such prospect of
success as Harland and his friends
feel that gentleman possesses. The

thoroughly convinced that his days of
connection with the state are drawing
rapidly to a close. DR.. J. K. White,

Among those who are to 90, and
probably the one whose presence will
be most generally missed, is Chief
Justice l. N. Sullivan, who at the end
of the year, will retire as justice Of
the highest state court after a con-
tinued service of more than 26 years.
Justice Sullivan was elected to the
supreme court at the first state cleo
ton, and took the oath of office on
November 2, 1890. He served the first
two years and two months as chief
justice, being reelected in 1892, 1898,
1904 and 1910. He served as chief
justice, after the first term in 1868,
1924, 1908-10 and 1914-16, thus
giving him ten years and two months
in this important position. During
these years his fellows on the bench
have been: Justice Morgan, Justice
Joseph Huston and Justice George
Stewart, all of whom are now dead.
Justice R. P. Quarles, at present chief
justice of the supreme court of Ha-
wall; Justice James F. Ailshie, JUS
tice Stockslager and Justice Warren
Truitt, all of whom are at present
law in this state; and the
present members of the court, Justice
William Morgan and William Bulge.
During the years Of his service, Judge
Sullivan had a part to play in all the
important litigation that has been
brought before the court, was the au-
ntor of many of the pivotal decisions

Anxiously Peering Into Future.

The heads of departments of state
or at least some of them, are still an
xiously peering into the future, wish
ing to see a rift in the clouds that
might promise deep appreciation of
merit on the part Of the Democratic
officers elect, so that each of the peer
ing ones at least should be left undis-
turbed in their present positions.
There is apparently ground for
hope in some cases. Register Har-
land, of the state land department, it
is understood has been led to believe
that the governor looks on him with
favorable eyes. If this is true, and
Mr.. Harland can hold the support of
Miss Redfield, the newly elected su-
perintendent of public instruction, ali
that he will need to do will be to win
over Attorney General-elect Walters,
of Caldwell, or State AuditorElect
Van Deusen. Walters and Harland
have served together as members of
the state board of education, so it
would not be surprising if the present
register should be retained. There
even might be some political wisdom
in this course from a Democratic
standpoint. Harland has long been
at the head of the state grange, which
is reported to have something like
$500 or 5000 voting members, largely

WEEKLY NEWS LETTER
FROM BOISE
Resume of Events Around the
State House From Our
Special Correspondent.

There has been no crying over
split milk on the part of the defeateo
republican nominees for state offices
at the recent election, nor do the de-
feated gentlemen engage IN any
lengthy consumings as to the reasons
back of the adverse majority. Suf-
ficient unto the day is the evil there
of, and the will of the people having
been expressed, the republican organ
ization is now engaged in building for
the future.
Hon. D. w. Davis, the republican
nominee, paid his first visit to the
capital city on Saturday, and made a
friendly call on Governor Alexander,
spending half an hour or so IN TREND
ly conversation, and in stories OF the
campaign which they have just waged
against each other. Both gentlemen
afterwards expressed themselves as
delighted with the opportunity to meet
Mr.. Davis later said that he wished
that Governor Alexander's admins
tration during the coming two years
should prove itself the most valuable
to the state and its people, that had
been experienced since the formation
of the government. Mr.. Davis left
Monday for Lewiston, to attend the
Northwest Livestock Association show
this being the fourth of these exhibit
tons that he has attended. Governor
Alexander left Tuesday for Lewiston
to attend the show.
