FOR NEW SCHOOL HOUSES.
The District to Vote on the Proposition
to Issue $25, 900 in Bonds.

At the meeting of the board of edu-
cation last evening the most important
business done was the calling of a
special election for May 3, to vote on
the issue of $25, 900 of school bonds to
build new school sites and buy sites
for same. The call is published in
another column.
Among other business was the hear
ing of the report of the committee on
sites, the leasing of the AK. Hall room
for the additional primary room, and
the engaging of Mrs. Ward as teacher.
A. II. Stem, the architect who drew
the accepted plans for the St. Paul
auditorium, was authorized to draw the
sketches for two-room and a four
room building, and have them COM
pleted with estimates Ivy April 30.
1t is planned to build first class bull
dings, especial attention being given to
heating and ventilation.
New school buildings are absolutely
necessary, and is good policy to erect
such as will be creditable to the city
and fully meet the demand.
The board last evening made formal
application to the state high school
board to have the Little Falls school
placed on the list of high schools.
ST. CLOUD TIMEs:-It is reported

does offer to back C. N. LaFond Ito
whom the above item was intended to
refer) in so or 100 bird shoot, against
VIM. Thielman, for $50 side, the shoot
to take place on the Little Falls grounds.
C.N. has made no challenges nor claims
about shooting with any St. Cloud gen.
tlemen, but some of his local friends
would like TO see a match arranged. It
is possible that Thielman might beat
George LaFond.

John Newman ana Ed. Ruff were
in from Pierz Tuesday, and reported
Senator Buckman's drive on Hilman
brook to be making good progress.
The rear is now in Big Pond, and
all the logs are moving. Some
trouble has been experienced from
the boys rising in the ponds with
the ice, and dynamite has been used
to blow out the constructions. Every
few years the bog rises in the ponds,
and causes the drivers much trouble.
There is an abundance of water, and
there seems no doubt but the logs
will come out.

The Little Falls Foundry.

A visit to the works in course OF
construction of the Little Falls Iron
and Brass Foundry, located just
north OF the Little Falls Machine
Shops, and owned by Messrs. Morri-
son & Ankeny, who have recently
located in this city, showed that
their labors were nearly completed.
One month ago the proprietors were
in Omaha, Neb., their home, and to-
day their plant is SO far completed
that they expect to make their first
run next Wednesday or Thursday,
when they will cast the plates for
covering their concern of brick 10
x14 feet in size, and some other nee
essary castings in their business.
Their cupola, which is famed by a
patent blower in the adjoining build
ing has a capacity of from seven to
nine tons, and a crane capable of
lifting six thousand pounds is being
put in. The moulding room is at
present in the second story OF the
machine shop, where turning lathe
and necessary machinery is being put
in, but Messrs. Morrison & Ank-
eny expect to erect in the near future
a building 22xM feet and two stories
high in front OF their present plant.
They also expect to veneer with
brick this fall in order to keep the
frost out the moulding room. The
firm has already an order for a house
front and being men of experience
they will undoubtedly do a large
business in their line in Little Falls
and vicinity. They will employ
about eight moulders and four or five
helpers, while in the pattern depart
ment a number of skilled workmen
will be employed.
Messrs. Morrison 4 Ankeny, pro-
prietors of the Little Falls Iron and
Brass Foundry, wish to offer a word
OF explanation to their patrons rela-
tive to a report which has been put
in circulation and which has been
given credence to some extent by our
citizens. They wish to controvert
the statement that their shops can
not do all classes of work. On the
contrary, they are prepared to make
castings of three tons or less for any
purpose. They make all kinds OF
iron for building purposes such as
ron and sheet beams, house columns,
brass rods, sash weights, anchor
rods, ETC., in workman-like manner
and also make steam pipe and fit
tings, and in fact everything made in
a irst-class foundry.
