these machines-used in the ma.

WORK ON NEW OFFICE
BUILDING BEGUN
Garden Containing Rare
Plants To Adioin Building

Work has been begun on the
new Office building being erected
by S. M. Donnell, Main street, on
land adjoining his residence and
the property of the Newark Car
age and Electric Company. Ihe
new Office is to be of brick, point
ed black, ID by 80 feet, with a
porch at the rear 13 IL by 3.
Architecturally it will correspond
with Mr.. Donnell's residence ad-
joining. A feature of the build
ing is the special system of ventll-
alton with shafts between the
outer and inner walls, and also
ventilators in the roof. Across the
front there will be a large plate
glass window. The interior will
be wainscotted four and a half
feet in fibre tile, in panel effects.
The building will be finished with
a roof of dark green Vulcanite or
namentile in It ira ct i've con-
trast to the deep colored bricks.
Perhaps of greatest interest,
however, is the garden, which Mr..
Donnell has planned to adJoin the
new office building. The lot which
extends back three hundred feet
has been carefully graded, and or
namented with choice trees anc
shrubbery. Ten feet from the
fence has been planted a row OF
Catalpa Bungei which ends with {
rare plant, designated by botan
lists as the Imperial Paulownia
. This plant has quite a history
, Mr.. Donnell one day last fal
when roaming over his WOODLAND
: west of town, noticed an unusua
e plant with leaves about the siz
G of a palm. He consulted botan
e list and found that the plant i

Donnell woods. The leaves are I

SCHOOL GARDEN
WORK BEGUN
Convenient Lot Secured For
The Purpose


lock and Mr.. G. B. Evans, an ideal
lot, part of the recent College pur-
chase has been secured free of
charge, for the use of tn class in
School Gardening under the direc-
tion of Miss Agnes Medill. The
lot located on Academy Street, ex-
tended, south of the armory, is for
the use of those pupils who wish
to take the work but have no land
available at home. The ground is
being prepared this week, and the
children will begin their actual
work next week. All the fertilizer,
seed, tools, and necessary supplies
have been furnished free of charge
so that the course is open to every
child who displays an interest in
the plan.
About forty children have en-
rolled, and these will be divided
into two distinct classes-the
home class, composed of those
children whose gardens adjoin
their homes, and the school class,
whose plots are on the lot ad-
joining the school. Every child
has been supplied with a small &C
count book in which he registers
record of every days work

c2nts for clemency denied four others

The commissioners returned to this
precinct the ballots and records be-

II more votes were returned as count
ed for governor than the books showed
had been cast.
The judges and counters of the pre-
cinct were Emile Schachner Evelyn

were notified by County Attorney Civ

to make the check Immediately and
before a number OF witnesses did So
On the returns made from this pre-
cinct to the county commissioners the
vote stood: Davis, 34S: Alexander, 81;

votes sworn in were checked so that
stood: Davis, $40; Alexander, 295 and

the recount, they set in to do so i'm

STUDENTS OF HIGH
SCHOOL IN OPERA
1.-THE Little Tycoon" to Be
Sung Friday and Satur-
day Nights at Pinney.

The musical feature this week is the
presentation on Friday and Saturday
nights of the comic opera, THE Little
Tycoon" by the students of the high
school. A splendid cast has been
chosen, among the members being
some exceptional singers and from the
work being done at the final rehear-
sails one would almost judge that they
had had professional experience.
1.-THE Little Tycoon" is one of the
best known and most popular comic
operas ever written and barring the
Gilbert and Sullivan compositions en-
joys the distinction Of being in the lead
as to the number of productions given
each year. This opera was sung for
many years by professional companies
with great success. The plot is ex-
ceedingly clever and funny an dthe
music is tuneful and catchy-of the
true comic opera style. The whole
production is made wonderfully bril-
liant with a multitude of clever solo
and duet dances, characteristic dances
and chorus steps which the directors,
Mr.. French and Miss Slick, have intro
duced throughout the performance
The costuming will be especially bril-
liant this year and was designed by
Miss Aldray of the high school. The
Japanese scene in the last act is a fea-
ture occupying a great deal of the at
tention of Wallace Plummer just at
present and indications are that 1t will
surpass all of his former efforts along
that line.
The leading roles will be taken by.
Violet Meacham. James Humphrey, Ell
sci Harris. Willard Moffett, Carolyn
Logan, John Selby and Donald David
son. A 30-piece orchestra will accom-
pany the whole production under the
direction of Ward French. Seats may
be reserved the morning Of the first
performance at 9 o'clock at the theater

COURT REFUSES
TO EXCUSE ERROR
OF THE COUNSEL
Duty of Attorney From An
other State to FamiliariZe
Himself With Rules Of
Practice Says Court.

The failure of an attorney to fanil-
iarize himself with the law covering
the practice of the forum wherein his
case is pending, will not be held to be
excusable neglect, since 1t is incum
bent upon the lawyer from another
state, practicing law in this state, to
familiarize himself with the rules Of
practice of the courts in this state.
In decision handed down last night
in the case of the Valley State bank
versus the Post Falls Land & Water
company and Thomas ]. Coffman,
which reverses the Judgment entered
in the Eighth judicial district court for
Kootenai county, the supreme court of
Idaho made the above ruling. The
litigation represented an action to re-
rover on a promissory note and de-
fault judgment entered. On motion of
the defendant the court made an order
setting aside the default. An appeal
was taken to the supreme court.
COURT DIVIDED.
The decision was written by Chief
Justice Sullivan and concurred in in a
separate decision by Justice Morgan
Justice Bulge dissents. The note in
VOWED was executed by the corpora
ton to Coffman for the sum of $500
The corporation failed to appear and
answer. Coffman filed a demurrer
which was overruled and Coffman was
given 10 days in which to answer which
he failed to do and default was en-
tered. Prior to that notice the demur-
rer had been overruled was mailed to
the law firm of Cullen. Lee & Matthews
of Spokane. This firm later gave no.
tice il would move to vacate and set
aside the judgment on the grounds it
was taken against the defendant
through mistake, inadcertabce and
excusable neglect of his attorneys" 1t
was stated the firm of Elder G. Elder
of Occur d Alene We're employed as
local counsel.
WHAT MAJORITY SAY.
ut, clearly appears from the showing
made to open the default that the local
attorneys had nothing whatever to do
with this case and that Attorney
Mathews had full control and had full
knowledge of the overrulng of the de-
murrer and Of the time that the de-
PENDANT was given to appear" says
Chief Justice Sullivan In his decision.
"There was not sufficient showing of
mistake, inadvertance or eXcusable ne
elect on the part of tha defendants at
torneys in this case and the trial court
clearly abused it's discretion in setting
aside said judgment. since such dis
erection is confined to a sound legal
discretion. The order setting aside
said judgment is reversed and the
cause remanded to the trial court with
directions to override said motion"
JUSTICE BULGE DISSENTS.
While Justice Morgan concurs in the
findings of Chief Justice Sullivan he
believes the reason for the decision will
be better understood if the affidavits
