tin Unit Plan.
I The Board of Education at its meet-
| ing last night let the contract for the
construction of the new east side
school building to be erected on the
site of the old building on East Gray
street. The Holmboe Construction
company got the contract at $35,945,
and is to have the building finished
by Sept. 11, 1916. The Holmboe com-
pany is regarded as one of the most
reliable and substantial-firms of con-
tractors and builders in Oklahoma,
and many of the public buildings of
the state have been erected by them.
They are at present at work on the
new Science Hall of the University.
The very fact that this company has
scured the contract means good and
substantial work.
The building is to be the unit-plan,
as pictured and planned by the archi-
tects, and will be a very complete one,
modern in all its appointments. The
firm of M. F. Fischer & Son will do
the plumbing.
The Board promises a detailed state-
ment of their activities concerning
the building in a few days.

It is very evident that Norman is j
growing most appreciably. The regis-
tration ol' voters which closed last |
night, indicates a population within i
the corporate limits ot at least 5,00o, |
and the suburbs of the cityfi which are
well populated, would add 1000 more.
The registration showed 082 voters,
and in addition to these there are
probably 25 who failed to register on
account of absence or other unavoid-
able cause. These will be given an
opportunity to register in July. The
following is the registration by wards:

"ISHMAEU" OK "Ol T OF THE
DEPTHS"
The big feature play of the entire
repertoire of twenty-four different
hills of the Franklin company, "Ish-
mael, or Out of the Depths," will be
presented at the Franklin tonight.
This play is from the well known and
widely read novel by Mrs. E. 1). E. N.
South worth, a book that, next to St.
Elmo, has had probably more readers
than any other novel in recent years.
The Franklin makes a big feature of
this interesting play and takes pride
in presenting it with a most excellent
cast, correctly staged and as near to
the book as is possible for a dramatist
to make it. Lee Gen ai d will have the
part of Ishmael and Miss Moyne Mor-
rison that of the aspiring, ambitious
jijrl who wants to be of the nobility
of the old country. While "Ishmael,"
in a way, is a serious drama, yet there
is plenty ol* good, clean comedy all
the way through. As the Franklin
never changes prices, there will be no
advance in price, for the strongest,
best and most popular play of all their
! -,t. The Franklin is absolutely wat-
erproof and "Ishmael" will be given ■
rail, or shine.
PARK MEETING AT NOBLE
The Noble people are active and
earnest in the work of improving and
beautifying their lovely little city,
and sent up last evening and took Mr.
L. J. Edwards down to make them a
little talk about it. Ther was a big
meeting in connection with an ice
cream and strawberry festival, and
much interest wa.> taken. Something
like $22 was realized at the festival
to be used in fixing up the parks, and
u goodly sum has been raised by sub-
scription. Mr. Edwards was much
impressed by the earnest enthusiasm
manifested.
