School Bond
Issue discussed
AT Meeting in the High School
Building Monday Evening"
Big Improvement Planned.

An interesting and important
meeting was held Monday evening,
in the High School building, to dis
cuss the advisability and necessity
of voting school bonds at special
election. to be held on the 21st day
of April. at the High School Build
ing, District No. %. Prof. r. R.
Richmond opened the meeting and
fully explained the necessity and
advantage of the proposed additions
and Improvements to the brick
school building. Joseph Kaufman,
Chairman of the Board of Trustees,
stated that the boards approval of
the bond issue was unanimous
G. H. EIDE, another member of the
Board of Trustees. went into the
financial aspect of the proposed issu-
ance of bonds in thoroughly con-
vincing manner, showing beyond the
question of a doubt. the advantages
that would accrue to the school dis
trict by the expenditure of the "a
mount raised, toward the construct
ion of an auditorium and gymnas-
ium. The addition of these school
conveniences and necessities would
create greater interest among the
students and would obviously be a
great satisfaction to the teachers
Our poorly equipped school facilities
for the physical improvement and
entertainment of the scholars are
discouraging factors in the retention
of competent instructors F. E.
Smith further discussed the advis-
ibility of voting bonds for the i'm
provement of our schools, and very
fitingly suggested a memorial in
honor of one of our former high
school athletic students, whose mar
tyrdom to the cause of American
liberty we are all sincerely proud of.
The amount of the proposed boIfd
issue, S17, 900, together with the
surplus in different funds will be
sufficient to make the suggested
additions and improvements, and
furnish School District No. % an up
to date educational institution. At
tend the election and vote in favor
of the bonds.

House are going to compose their
differences and give the country au
example of constructive legislation
in the next session which will make

as it did in 1918.
Mr. Hays found ticklish situa.
tion and handled himself, as usual,
tactfully, lest the older heads in tha
party get the idea that he was un.
duly meddling. Denials have been
made that Mr.. Hays sought to have
the steering committee enlarged, but
that's what is going to happen even
tually, and on that steering commit

Ray is we'll and favorably known
in this community, having come to
this section with his parents when
years of age, received his schooling
here and grew to manhood. and has
the distinction of being one of the
cleanest young men raised in the
city. When President Wilson called
for volunteers Ray answered the cali
and went forth to do his duty In the
spirit Of patriotism to relieve the
world from military oppression.
Everyone in the city is asking them
selves what can be done for this
young man, who went on the field
of battle ready to sacrifice more
than all our earthly gains, and to
show in substantial way that we ap-
preciate him as a citizen and a SOL
dier of the greatest world war.
1t has been suggested that he
take advantage of the government
vocational school at Seattle and pre-
pare for the opportunities offered and
make application for postmaster at
Sites when new appointment is to
be made. There is not a patron of
the office who would refuse to en-
dorse this young man and he would
receive unanimous support of the
people and under conditions o. to-
day there is no Office too good for
the young men who have given us
democracy.
Remember, let us do something
substantial for the boys.-Stites En-
terprise.
Ray Perciful was a former popu-
lar Orofino boy, and his many
friends here are pleased to hear Of
him again, and are proud Of his
record as a soldier in defense of his
country's rights. We hope he is
appointed postmaster at Sites, as
suggested by the Enterprise. There
is nothing too good for our soldier
heroes

explosive shrapnel which struck
him on the right leg below the knee
This wound was large enough to
lay in medium sized banana, al

ugly scar. A machine gun bullet

knocked him over in a gas hole and
he received severe gas burns, but re-

him from suffocating.
He was in constant action for
three days and nights under shell
