Cured in by Mr.. E. H. Hunting
of the school board.
The addition to the Westside
schiol is making good progress
and will be in shape to accommO-
date pupils The addition to the
high school building mill not be

the repairs and alterations of the
old part of the building will be
completed by September 6.
In addition to the building pro
gram, the grounds 70 the two
blocks comprising the main school
plant will be improved. The en-
tire frontage of $50 feet on Fourth

sprinkler system installed to keep
it in good condition. The Fifth
street frontage will be fenced as
a protection from the highway on
which travel is very heavy. On
Bridger street the fence will be
continued from Fifth street to the
kindergarten building.

uent next year will approximate
one thousand pupils. Thirty-eight

THE WAY 1T
USUALLY WORKS

Rancor has become so hot be-
tween California and Arizona in
regard to the Boulder Canyon dam
bill that a California congressman
theratens to propose Congression-
al action to withdraw Arizona s
right to statehood.
Seven states are interested in
the Boulder Dam and the waters
Of the Colorado River, in addition
to the federal government.
The tangle that is developing as
the result Of local political fac
tions in each state seeking to gain
advantages for themselves, and
with another faction in Congress
endeavoring to use the Boulder
Dam project as a means of put
ting the government into business,
furnishes a perfect illustration of
the confusion and bitterness which
generally results when an attempt
is made to inject government into
the field of private enterprise.
AS is generally the case, de-
velopment lags, the investor and
industries are discouraged: and in
the long run the taxpayer is load
ed with heavy financial burden
as the result of politics being
played at public xpense.-Indus-
trial News Bureau, The Manufac-
turer.

improvements from time to time.
I'm a year the attractions in the
building will Overshadow the ones
that were there during the exposi-
tion." the building superintendent
said yesterday.
He explained that different ar
rangCments as to space would be
necessary in a Few instances and
that the privately owner articles
which were lent for the occasion
would have to be replaced. Plans
are also under way to make the
school exhibits complete, he add
ed.
1t was also pointed out yeter-
day that in spite of the fact that
the EXPOSITION was over and that
the removal of the Clark and
Humboldt county displays caused
some confusion, numerous visitors
continued to pass through the
doors.
In the wcmen's and art division
much of the collection which is
privately owned will have to be
returned at once, but plans are
now under way to display a gal
lery of paintings done by local
artists.
Governor Fred Balzar, chairman
of the building commission, yes
terday made a statement concern
ing the plans which have been
made in encouraging the counties
to continue the displays. He said !:

in control of the state exhibit

NEW YORK, September 24.-The
outcome Of the nerve-wrackinE race
in the National League is likely to
center in the series of four games that
the Pittsburgh Pirates will play in
Chicago beginning Sunday.
While the Pirates have taken q
couple Of hard iolts from the New
York Giants in the current series in
Pittsburgh, they still hold a big adj
vantage. Incidentally it should he
noted that the Pirates already have
won II games in the season from
New York and cannot lose a seasons
series to single team this year un-
less to Chicago.
The Cubs have been the hardest
nut that the Pirates have had to
crack this season, and at present the
count stands at nine victories for
each team. A great deal hinges on
the coming fourgame series in Chi
cago. From these games the Pirates
hope to emerge so strongly fortified
that they viii not have to carry the
tight into Cincinnati, where they
close the season. They play three
games with Cincinnati.
If the Giants or the st. Louis Cardi-
nails continue to tread Oh the heels
of the Pirates. the final three games
at Cincinnati might we'll be the last
stand Of the Pirates--and also their
most fortunate stand if in those
games they ciinched the pennant. BY
that time, presuming the race is car
ried that far, the Pirates would be
nerve strained bunch of bali players
and anything might happen.

PIRATE.CUB SERIES MAY
DECIDE PENNANT in n. l..

Blake and Guy Bush of the Chi
cago pitchers have been the most
bothersome to Pittsburgh. Charlie
Root, the ace of the Cubs staff, has
been found rather to the liking of
the Pirates. for they have busted him
three times and he has won but one
game from them. OF the Pittsburgh
pitchers. Meadows has been the
easiest for the Cubs and so he was
also in 1926, The Cubs took four
games away from Meadows in 1926
and he won one, and this season they
have beaten him three times to one.
1t looks as though he would not be
exactly the right pitcher to try to
win the pennant for Pittsburgh, al
though his luck may turn.
The Cubs have broken even with
Hill by beating him twice and losing
to him twice. They have won two
games from Aldridge They also
have won two from kremer, and it
is an odd fact that the mo account"
pitchers of the Pirates have been
more successful against Chicago than
the ftrst-string men. TO some extent
that is due to the fact that when
the Cubs We're at their best they
were backing up their smart pitchers
better than the Pirates backed up
theirs. BY this time conditions may
have changed. There always is Il
chance Tor a pitcher to lose a game
because Of a mistake in the field,
rather than by weak work on his
own account. A pitcher may throw
a perfect game but he is charged
with a defeat if the second basenan
muffs a pop fly in the ninth inning
and the winning run scores.
