BOARD OF TRADE.

Well Attended Meeting-High School
Question Discussed.
The board Of trade held a meeting
last Friday afternoon in Judge Races
Office, in the Tod building. About 25
business men were present and the
meeting was very interesting one. A
determination to take hold of the work
of the board with renewed energy was
expressed by several speekers, and the
report of Chairman King Of the COM
mittee on new industries IN the work
accomplished during the SUI mer was a
most encouraging one to every member
present.
The question of the advisability of
issuing $4,000 bonds for the construc
ton of the high school and other school
buildings was brought up.
Messrs. Scott, Dunn, Gibson, Wood
bury and others spoke on the subject
Each OF the gentlemen expressed them
selves as strongly in favor of building
the high school and willing to vote
the SO,OOO or any other sum needed for
thls purpose as soon as they we're salts
ned that the money would be spent
Judiclously and the school district Re-
celve value in return, but declared Just
as strongly their dstrust of the present
school board, judging from their acts in
the past that the money would not be
spent to the best advantage for the dis
trlct The facts in relation to the
letting OF the late contract practically
without competitive bids, the large sum
of extras already incurred, the unsatis-
factory character of the work done, the
violations Of the specifications, the pay
ment Of the contractor for material
which never entered into the building,
all these were gone over and cited az
evidence of the untitness OF tho present
board to take charge of an enterprise in
volving so large sum OF money. It
was the sense of the speakers and the
meeting generally that the board should
be changed by the introduction Of new
members before the bonds were voted.
Judge Race said there was little hope
Of any of the board reslgning. They
felt themselves to be equal to the build.
ing of capitol for the United States and
all persuasion to the contrary would be
useless.
1t was finally determined to appoint
committee consisting of Matt Dunn, l..
;. woodbury., Paris Gibson, Il. S. Ford,
Judge Race, and A. M. Scott to wait on
the Trades and Labor council and state
to them the position of the board of
trade and the large taxpayers of this
city, and to emphatically deny the as.
sertions circulated by malicious parties
that there was any opposition on the
part OF the board or the taxpayers they
represented to the construction of high
school building or to delay it's construc-
tion any longer than was necessary to
aecurA a board which, in their opinion,
could be safely intrusted with the ex-
penditure of the large sum Of money re-
quired.
Chairman King from the committee
on manufactures made report which
was listened to with intense interest by
the members present and which showed
that the committee had been doing
good work during the summer and that
fruits from their labors beyond the ex-
pectations Of anyone we're likely to re-
suit therefrom in the very near future.

agent in Washington is negotiating with

THE SUBURBAN PARKS,

The CITY Council is Divided on the oues-
tion of Their DesirabiIity.
The city council Legislative committee
and the park commissioners held joint
session last Friday in the council cham.
ber to consider the park question.
City Attorney Largent took the ground
that the proper method to pursue was to
get the Legislature to pass a bill legaliz-
ing the action Of the last city council in
purchasing the parks, and pointed out
fact that general bill would not answer
the purpose if the city desired to retain
its purchases, as the question of limit of
Indebtedness would be raised.
Mr.. Paris Gibson. in powerful speech
advocated the wisdom and economy of
retaining the suburban park purchases.
He said the Sun River park was only two
and a-half miles from the city limits now
an that it would not be many years
before it would be inside the city limits.
The lots donated to the city in the
Highland park and Willard additions
alone at any fair valuation would sell for
enough to pay for all the park purchases.
He believed that the young men of this
city would yet live to see it have popu-
lation of 25O,00O. There was not another
city in the west which had within it the
elements of growth which this city pos
sessed, and he felt sure that the people
of this city would range themselves in
the line OF progress in the matter OF parks
and that aldermen who opposed the
retention of the present purchases would
live to regret their action.
Alderman Williams said he was op-
posed to the present park locations,
city. He felt that the people had pro.
nounced against the park purchases at
the last aldermanic election as the park
question was an issue at that time.
Paris Gibson said this was news to
him and he did not believe that the peo-
pie of this city held any such views.
Aid. Young stated that he should op-
pose the retention of the present park
purchases at all times and made warm
speech in support of his views.
Aid. Fitzgerald said there was plenty
of time to consider the matter and was
in favor Of taking no action at all until
the supreme court decision in the matter
Of the legality of the purchases had been
rendered.
The joint committee then took vote
on motion to recommend that
the council instruct the county
attorney to prepare bill for
the next legislature legalizing
the park purchases The motion carried
with one dissenting vote-David WILL
Jams.
The mayor then convened the council
in special session, all the members being
present except Alderman Sullivan.
The report Of the joint committee was
then made to the council.
| Alderman Roberts moved the adoption
of the report and Alderman Joscelyn
supported II in strong speech.
On vote the motion to adopt was do
feated, Aldermen Joscelyn. Hansen and
Roberts voting yes, and Aldermen Will.
Jams, Young, Fitzgerald and Mcdonald
voting no.

From the New ork Mining and En-

to the copper market is taken: The adj
vance previously reported has made
further progress, and during the week
business has been done in Lake ingot
copper at % &C., while Lake wire bars are
not obtainable below 1Oc. 1t is under
stood that the Calumet and Iiecla Com
pany is now negotiating for a general
sale, and it is said that the price will not
be below lOc. Electrolytic copper for near
delivery is not offered at all, and January
February is held for 994c. For casting
copper the price is 938M91ac Exports
continue on very small scale, and we
understand that great many inquiries
have been received over here for fine
copper from Europe, but the prices
asked have checked business. 1t is
reported that the output of the Anaconda
has been rather smaller during the past
month, and since then has been further
curtailed which fact may influence the
price.
In Europe large buying forced up
prices early in the week to cal 2s Cd.
for spot and cal los. for futures, but at
these prices realizatons of speculative
holdings took place. and some copper
came out for sale. This brought about
reaction, and the market closes some

News was received in this city last
evening by Sam Neumann, of the Met

William Foos, weli-llnown st. Paul
boy and a native son of the soil of Min
nesota. He died in the far-off sunny
cline of Southern California, where he
had gone to recuperate his failing
health. He left his native city some
SIX months ago, and after short stay at
San Francisco he located at the town
of Pasadena, CAL, where he was
soon joined by his wife, and
the telegram received last even.
ing announced his death at that
place. William Foos was tweLty-nine
years of age, and was as popular a
young man as could be found in the
city. especially among the younger bus
mess men, with whom he was great
favorite. He was for several years con-
nected with large hardware establish
ment at the Seven corners. He leaves
many relatives in this city to mourn his
