South side high school. of course.
w. F. Porter & Co. put in the heating
and ventilating plant of that building.
At Wednesdays meeting Of the board
all of Porter & Co.'s bill except $500
was ordered paid. The morning paper
hints darkly of ''skullduggery" in con-
nection with the South side building and
of possible investigation, formally by
duly appointed committee, of all trans
actions in connection with it. Robert
Pratt'S name was dragged into the
story whether with his consent is

''I can't see anything in the story"

ordered him paid part of the debt,

"Oh. suppose this story is part of
the old fight against Architect Allen.
We are buying couple of sites and are
going to erect at least one new building
this year, and an attempt will be made
to freeze Allen out. But he has given
US good building. 1t has cost only
about half what the Central high school
building did, and very little more than
the Washington and North side build
ings. And it is by far the best building
we have"

Fighting a Raise in Rates.

DEs MONIES, To-, Feb. 16.-Rallroad
circles are very much agitated here over
the hearing before the railroad commits
sion to change hay from class E to class
d in the present schedule. This will
increase the rates about % per cent, and
is therefore opposed by farmers, who
have a strong representation here. The
railroads claim they have to haul cars
empty one way, and then, on account of
bulk, canonly load to half capacity,
making the rate unremuneratiYe.

on the streets of Minneapolis yesterday
afternoon. He says that when he got
off the train at the union depot he had
$4,000 in bills and several silver dollars
in his pocket. When be got to the Mic
ollet house he did not have the bills, the
roll having disappeared from his pock-
cts. He does not thing his pockets
were picked, out that i'll some way he
pulled the roll of money out of his
pocket and dropped it on the street.
He walked up Nicolet avenue from the
depot. so. if the money was lost, it was
on the avenue between the depot and
the hotel.

Using Camels In Australia.

Although the camel proved unsatis-
factory for use as beast of burden III
the mining regions Of Nevada and
Arizona, the animal is rapidly coming
INTO favor and profitable use in mining
countries in other parts of the world.
1t seems probable to the Mining In
dustry that in South Africa the camel
will take the place of the horse for
most uses, us the camel is not injured
by the insects which prove fatal to the
horse and the bullocks, nor is it as
tackled by the diseases that destroy
other beasts of burden. The Germans
are already making great use of the
camels in Southwest Africa. They are
found to be very valuable for making
long journeys into the arid interior
regions of the country, as they are
able to travel whole week without
water or food In Australia the camel
is fast taking the place of bullocks for
use in the barren interior regions. 1t
is stated that there are already opened
up and in regular work in Australia
five lines of camel traffic, and that on
these lines over 1000 camels are in
daily use. Camels are found to he so
useful that the number employed will
be increased as rapidly as possible.
With bullock teams only about ten
miles Il day can be made, but it is
found that the camel will travel eighty
four miles in eighteen hours, carrying
load of 800 pounds. In the interior
of Australia are over 1000, 600 square
miles of almost unknown desert, and
it is on the great inland plains that it
is intended to utilize the camel trains,
as by their use the various GASES of civ
ilization may be more directly con-
nected than by the old bullock routes.
On the arid plains and among the mud
fats and brackish lakes the camel finds
plenty of coarse grass and thorny
shrubs on which to subsist. 1t is
claimed that work can be fonnd in
Australia for l, 200, 900 camels.
