The matter will probnbly not be brought before the board of directors, and there will be no dancing in the public schools unless it be under the name' of folk dances aud gymnastic exercise. o The auction sale yesterday of George Lemons on the slough road was well at tended notwithstanding the rainy weather. Everything was sold and Drought good prices. Mr. Eyrie bought ""ours ior ipauu ana one team of mares sold for 383, and everything else in proportion. Tho total sales amounted to something over $2,600. This was $600 more than Mr. Lemons expected to realize and for this reason he feels especially kindly towards the auctioneers, Woodry & Greer. It was a record breaking sale as the time re quired was only four and one-half hours. Like Mr. Dooley, whose fame was celebrated in song several years ago, the student body of the high school march ed up a hill and then marched down Bgnin. In other words, nfter passing resolutions favoring the holding of a jit ney dance in tho high school glmuasium, the student body held another meeting and passed somo more resolutions re einding their former action.

Tho steamer was carrying mnil for Great Britain, Holland, Ireland, Greece and Italy as well as (Sweden nnd Norwav. The mails on the Laconla was unusualiy heavy as the St. Louis did not sail when the submarine warfare was announced to begin February 1.

TIL Will LAST FOR MONTH SAY LAWYERS Jury of Fourteen To Try I. W. W.'s for Raid on Everett Is Completed Seattle, Wash., Mar. 0. In a court room bedecked with miniature moieff of the Kverett dock, whero tho steam er Verona attempted to land on what the I. V. W.'s term as the "bloody tifth" ot November, 1910, the taking or testimony in the trial of Thomas Tracy, tho first of 74 I. W. W.'s to face prosecution for the killing of Jef ferson Beard, was to start toduy. The state's opening statement marks the be ginning of tho trial today. The model of tho dock and a num ber of large maps and charts were piled in tho court room by the state for the purpose of vizuulizing the shooting for the jury. The jury was completed yesterday afternoon after days of gruelling exam ination in which more thnn CO talesmen were called. Tho trial is unique in that 14 jurors, instead of .12, sit in the jury box. Two alternate jurors were drawn according to a new luw enacted by the state, espe cially for these cases, providing for two extra tnlesmeu. These jurors are to remain throughout the trial but will tiiko no part at arriving at a verdict unless a member of the original jury be comes too ill to serve. Mrs. Jefferson Beard, wife of one of the citizen deputies killed at Kverett, was slated as the state's first witness, Imtr was unable to attend court, the strain of the approaching trial having resulted in her collapse.
