A GREATER NORMAL Prof. H. A. Halloweli, dean of the Lewiston State Normal School, was in town last Saturday. The school is growing rapidly and it is expect ed that the enrollment this Septem ber will be 275, an increase of 30 per cent. Speaking of the Normal, Prof. Halloweli said:' "During the summer two new buildings will be erected at the Lew iston Normal School, a gymnasium and a ~>anual arts building. The tenth leg.Mature which adjourned last February, appropriated $120,000 for the maintenance and improve ment of the Lewiston State Normal. Of this amount, about $50,000 will be expended in building and equipping these two new buildings. The gym nasium will cost about $30,000. It will be two stories in height. The main gymnasium room will provide a stage and dressing room, making it a combined gymnasium and audi torium. A suspended running track will encircle the room and a gallery will be located in the rear, offering seating accommodations for 250. By using the entire room for audi torium purposes, the seating capac ity will be about400. On the main floor will be private rooms for ma king physical examinations, togeth er with the office of the physical di rector. In the basement will be lo cated separate apartments for the men and women students, with lock ers for 230 women and 135 men Here, too, will be located a swim ming pool. A balcony will be pro vided with seating accommodations for 90, this to be available when swimming contests are held. The Normal " School Students will this coming year have ideal facilities for exercise and playing of indoor games such as basket ball and indoor base ball. "The manual arts building will cost about $15,000. It will be given ■irr entirely to manual training, drawing, and domestic and rural sci ence. It is intended that this build ing will be simply a wing of a larg er building which will be built in the future as the school grows. "These two new buildings, togeth r with the new athletic field which has recently been purchased, will place the Lewiston Normal Schoo! ar ahead of any other normai school in the northwest." A special tourist sleeper, reserv ?d for Normal students going from south Idaho, will be attached to the | regular west bound train leaving Nampa, Saturday afternoon, Septem ber 11. In this way students can jo through to Lewiston without any change. One of the most interesting ex hibits at the A. Y. P., in the Idaho building, is that furnished by the Lewiston State Normal School. Tho exhibit is rather unique, in that the students of the manual training de partment constructed models of each of the five buildings of the Norma! and placed them upon a wooden frame so prepared as to represent the campus, showing drives and al' Students of the muska : walks. lopartment also sent a very inter esting exhibit. The water color de signs are especially good. A beau tiful panoramic view of the build ings and grounds of the State Nor mal School occupies a conspicuous place in the Idaho building. "UNCLE JOSH PERKINS" ""he big rural play which is coming to Payette on Sept. 10 is replete in smiles and thrills and is declared t d be one of the most lifelike dramatic offerings seen here in a long time, true to all the scenes it attempts to depict and with vivid types of all vharact s, life-like and natural in presentation. "Uncle Josh" is voted a big success wherever seen. The 'our acts are equally divided between j New York City and Vermont, ,be play centering about the efforts of j a sharp New York attorney to mar ry Edith Marston, an heiress for her money. How his plot is foiled i by "Uncle Josh" and a happy termin- j ation makes a seeable piay. will doubtless attract ' a large audi- | ence.

SCHOOL.!INTERIM FAIR AT ROISE The following from the columns of' the Capital News is not only inter esting but refers to a subject that it will be well to remember, and when the Idaho Inter-Mountain fair opens all who can should witness this spectacular representation. Many versions have been given as to that historical e/ent. "The Siege of Jerico." Generally the locals of this great epoch in ancient history is established and historians agree as to the fact it was, even of its miraculous kind, the most interest ing of events that have come to us by medium of religions records. However, it is few indeed have the least cc who ition of the ac tionin the matter, few there are who can conjure to the minds' eye a sight of those people of olden times, who, with sword, spear and divine aid, waged bloody war fare and fewer still who have definite idea of the location and events incidental to it. There are people, however, to whom the "Siege of Jt ico" ap pealed not only from the andpoint of the savant, but because jf the re alization that in its history was op portunity for a -combination of his torical worth with features of enter tainment. "The Siege of Jerico" is the re ilization of those ideas and a histor icai replica of the action of he event is traced to authentic sources. In Jetailed expia:, a ..ion of the story of .he play as offered by the Gregory Fireworks company is their libretto if more than ufeual value, for. com- : bining as it does the true trend of he action with the location establish-! :-d by deep research, is an embodi ment of the tacts of the great siege as nearly and truly as may be de •ermined by exhaustive and learned ielving into the best existing rec ords of the past. With this data at handand with the assistance of mod rn science, they*are fully equipped .o produce Sieg-^of Jer.co" historically correct in details of eos ume, the city's architecture, and the further enhanced by the interpo a tion of features which blend wel! with the spectacle and add greatly | to its entertainment.
