The wrecking ac tivity has brought to light actual holes In the heat chambers in sev. eral of the eight furnaces which heat the building. Smoke escaping the chambers and traveling through pipes to the radiators and into the school room, caused considerable incon venience during school last year, and occasionally almost forceed teacher and pupils to seek other quarters. The heat chambers will be mended, snd possibly new ones installed where the old ones are too far gone, reports G. W. Smal ley, head janitor. Excess smoke has been noticeable in several of the other schools, and It is prob able. Smalley says, that Inves tigation will show just such burnt-out condition as found In the high school.

H. Van Winkle, attor-.-ney general. The opinion was ' sought by Hector McPherson. chairman of the legislative Interim commit tee upon state reorganization. "The language of the courts. reads the opinion, "settles defi nitely that the district attorney is not a judicial officer, and therefore Is not a part of the judicial department of the state. Clearly he Is not a legislative officer nor a part of the legis lative department of the state. It follows that he must, there fore, be a member of the execu tive or administrative depart ment. "The conclusion .cannot be avoided, therefore, that the of fice of district attorney Is one of those which will be abolished by the proposed amendment it the same Is adopted.
