School Board Will . Call for Bids
for Construction on October
20, Lockers to Be
Installed
Leslie junior high school is the
name of the new school building
to rise soon on the Tuxedo park
property, it was decided last night
by the school board on motion. of
Dr. C. A. Downs. No other names
were considered, the name Leslie
being adopted because of evident
favor given it by the public.
David F. Leslie, for whom the
new school is named, was an early
Methodist circuit rider of this
region. The policy of naming
local schools after early ministers
was first adopted in the naming
of the J. L. Parrish junior high
school in honor of a pioneer
clergyman.
No report was made by James
& Bartholomew, architects, who
are working on plans for the
building, but it is expected that
the plans will be complete in a
short time. The board expects to
call for bids from contractors
October 20.
William Gahlsdorf of this city
was awarded the electric light
contract for the new junior high
school with a bid of $150.
The board authorized calling
for bids on 40 or 50 new lockers
needed in the senior high school
building. A proposal from the
Moore Music house to install a
Kimball piano in the new music
room at the high school was re
ferred to the supplies committee.
The cost of putting a new roof
on the Highland school had
amounted to only $291, it was re
ported by Nelson Brothers, who
had been given the contract with
a bid of $634. The roof had been
found in better repair than at first
believed, hence the lower cost.

Experiment in Forming
Hnmans, Claim
WASHINGTON, Sept. 28.
(AP) Interest and. importance
attached to the discovery near
Trinil, in Central Java, of a com
plete skull of the Pithecanthropus
Erectus lies in the fact that it rep
resents to scientists the farthest
reach of the genus homo of which
man is the only living representa
tive, into antiquity.
Scientists at the Smithsonian in
stitute, who were deeply interest
ed in the reported discovery, ex
plained that Fithecanthropus had
lived approximately half a million
years ago and was not man or a
direct ancestor of man. They re
gard him as a biological cousin
of the human race many degrees
closer than any of the man-like
apes of the present, aud frequent
ly characterized as one of "na
ture's discarded experiments in
making man."
Pithocanthropus possessed by
no means tbe brain of man, but
was a brainer creature than any
of the apes, and the actual an
cestor of man is believed to have
been a creature very similar to
Pithecanthropus, scientists hold.
Dr. Ales Hardllnka, head of the
Smithsonian department of physi
cal anthropology, who a year ago
visited the upper water of the Solo
river in search of pre-human
bones, said the discovery, if as
represented, is the "most import
ant in the field of physical anthro
pology since Dubois' original dis
covery of the skull cap and thigh
bones of Pithecanthropus in 1892.

STATE EMERGENCY BODY
GRANTS APPROPRIATIONS
LARGEST SUM PAYS IRRIGA
TION BOND INTEREST
Tuberculosis - Hospital Awarded
921,600 for Operating
Expenses
The state emergency board at a
meeting here yesterday authorized
deficiency appropriations aggre
gating $117,900. The largest of
these appropriations was $35,000,
which was requested by the state
treasurer for payment of interest
on bonds by the various irrigation
districts. Interest on these bonds
was guaranteed by the state se
curities commission.
An appropriation of $21,(00
was authorized for the payment of
operating . expenses of tbe state
tuberculosis hospital. It was
pointed out that this deficiency re
sulted from the opening of a new
building which necessitated the
employment of additional help and
advanced the operating expenses.
Other deficiency appropriations
authorized by the emergency board
follow:
State scnool for tho blind,
?800; Eastern Oregon state hos
pital, $18,000; biennial elections
and printing of election pamph
lets. $18,000; state livestock san
itary board, $1,000; for payment
of salaries and traveling expenses
of circuit judges, $10,500; public
printing, $2500; for return of
fugitives from justice, $3,000, and
for . payment of 1925 legislative
expenses, $7500.
The Eastern Oregon state hos
pital and state livestock sanitary
board were compelled to request
deficiency appropriations because
the ways and means committee at
the last legislative . session segre
gated their allowances instead of
including them in one lump, as
had been the practice previously.
