It was learned today that plaits for

Hreed upon, and work 'on the build
ing will he slatted in the near fu
ture. I.. M. Curl, a supreme representa

interviewed this morning said: "The
members of the lodge have been con
sidering the erection of this building
lor some lime and from a decision
reached at a recent meeting it was
definitely decided that the imilditig is
10 be built before very long. Although
the plans and speciticatii n s are not
in the hands of the arc hi led, they
will be wilhin the -next few days.
I lowever, I will say t hat the plans
drafted are for a ninj.'.uil'iecul building
with all the modern conveniences,
com! Itiing the comforts and accessor
its ' a model club building. It is
our i! sire to' make this club the best
eiii ted and most hospitable in the
slate, firmly believing a lodge slioiild
he cm this order, as we have always
iiiait'tained, I am ftanl; in my belief
t ha I when I he building is completer!
11 will be the best equipped bulge
building, cNcepling none, in this part
of the valley."
The building will occupy a quarter
hhl: ;il tin- .imthwet corner of

site will"" he excavated for a concrete
basement, over which the splendid
building will be constructed of white
in ess. d brick, two stories in height.
The lower floor will contain two
lar-je store r ns with dimensions of
5M.M feel. These mms have already
been rented, but the parties who have
leased them are not ready to announce
the fact at (his time. A broad stair
way will enter from the middle of the
building from I, you sheet, forming
the main enhance and a stairway will
also enter from the southwest corner
on Third sheet. The second floor

ed lo anvone who desires them.
In the basement will be located the
lalest heating ami hot wtler apparatus

over ilic entire building, together with
other modern" conveniences.

CITY SUPERINTENDENT
WILL ENFORCE RULES
Urges Parents to Co-operate
with Instructors in Enforce
ment of Regulations.
In reference to an article which ap
peared in yesterday's iViuocrat, re
lating to the conduct of some school
clnldien at the comer of Sixth and
Madison stiecls. Professor Ho'etticher,
supei iutemlcnt of schools, requested a
representative of this paper to make
a few remarks in his behalf, to the
eflect that if school children are seen
diM tgarding the rules ot" their schools,
it is his earnest desire ".at the mat
ter be reported to lum. '.le s.ns that
school lets out he hire 4 o'clock and
that there i sno reason why the chil
li i en shouldn't be at home by that
time.
The rules of the public sehols of
this citv are that the students should
go immediately home alter school and
report to their parents." said Sir.
Itoetticher, "and then they are at their
libei ty. Of course it is impossible to
see that all the children reach homo,
but neveithlcess, I have intercepted
a ood many loiiet ing on lite way
and have sent them on. 1 do not ap

reported at Sixth and M.uhson streets,
and 1 am determined to put a stop
in u. I arenis must realize the neces
sity of helping the teachers, who luve
been instructed fully in making the
children obey the rules, and report
anv case of disobedience. There are
a good many school children in this
city, and with the united efforts of the
patents and leaehcis, the childtcn
could be kept under closer surveil
lance. They can be kept out of mis
chief ami ftotn associating with the
