LACK OF INTEREST IN THE SCHOOLS.
The annual meeting of the Center
school district was held at the sixth room
Of the Center district schoolhouse, last
Friday evening, June %, at O'Clock.
About 10 Taxpayers were present. For
some reason or another the people seem
to fight shy of school meetings. Lots of
kicking is done outside but few 60 to the
meetings and kick. 1t would seem that
of all things in the town school matters
are the most important. But still if we
take the number who attend school meet
ing we are forced to the conclusion that
the matter of educating our children is of
very little Importance indeed. Mr. Bart
lett, chairman of the old committee, call
ed the meeting to order. Rev Ell. N. Cum
ningham was elected chairman after the
reading of the minutes of last meeting.
The annual report of the district COM
mittee was read. The report showed that
out Ct $4,000 appropriated by the town a
balance of $3.50 remained over. w. Fl.

committee for three years and John L.

ALL SCHEDULES FILED.
Railway Commission Has Completed
Set of Express Tariffs

Yesterday the United States the American
and the Adams express companies filed their
schedule of rates with the railroad and ware
house commission, which completes the list
with the exception of the National Express
company, which has not as yet been heard
from. The We,ls-Fargo Express company
which commences its life today over the
Great Western system, VIII file its statement
in due time, but yet the commission has
sent no request to the company. 1t will of
course, take some time for the Wells-Fargo
people TO figure out their tariff sheets
1t is preSumable that the tariff sheets fled
by the three companies yesterday are COM
prehensive affairs but the commissioners
thought they had struck a Chinese puzzle
when they tried to figure the documents out
1t is very complicated thing, an express
company's rate sheet.
Speaking Of express companies, it might
be mentioned that the two cities of St. Paul
and MINNEAPOLIS occupy UNIQUE post o1s in
the United States as far as transportation
outside Of the Twin Cities. are all the ex-
press companies Of the country. with the
exception of one, represented There are now
represented in the city the American the
United States, the WeIis-Fargo the Adams
the Western, the National the Great North
ern, the Northern Pacific, and the Dominion
practically the WESTERN. All that is re-
quired to complete the list is the Southern
Express company. The wealth of different
transportation companies gives the Twin
Cities a great advantage, as shipments can
be made to any portion Of the country under
the responsibility of any one company The
situation is unique as the competition is
strong.

SPECIAL LEGISLATION COMMITTEE.
Five Members Named to Look After
the Closing Days of the Pres
ent Session.

A special meeting of the chamber of
commerce was called yesterday after
noon for the purpose of discussing the
new trf-city charter and the school tax
levy. 1t had been the intention to
discuss the charter section by section,
but it was found that it had not been
out of the hands of the printer long
enough to allow this so a general dis
cussiOn was had on several points that
attracted the attention of some of the
members.
w. L. Chaplin, who was one of the
st. Paul members of the charter com
mission, explained the charter as it had
been drawn, dealing more particularly
with the changes that had been made.
In which the new charter differs from
the Bell charter. He said that under
the charter. as drawn, the school board
will be elected at large; there will be
no limit on the school taxes except by
council supervision; the limit for the
fire board will be removed and all local
assessments will be paid to the county
treasurer instead of the city treasurer
In the general discussion which fol-
lowed Mr.. Chapin's remarks, Gen. San
born said that he did not like the Bell
charter, and there were many points
In the new charter that did not meet
with his approval, but of the two he
was of the opinion that the new one
vas the better 1t was al least a step
IN the right direction. He referred to
the present system of appointing the
board of control by the district court
Judges, and said that he considered it
un-American, and the fact that, under
the new charter, they would be ap-
pointed by the mayor was one of the
points that he very much favored

money shall first be collected, was
severely. criticized by Comptroller J. j.
McCardy. He held that it was an en-
tirely wrong idea and would only serve
to cOmplicate matters greatly.
The idea of a revolving fund found a
champion in Assistant City Attorney
Phillips, who spoke at some length. He
was of the opinion that instead of COM
plicating matters the effect would be
directly the opposite.
Mayor Doran was present and listen
ed attentiVely to the discussion, but re-
fused to take any part After the dis
cussion had closed resolution was
passed that Mr.. Chaplin be instructed
to make such amendments to the char
ter as would prevent the repeal of the
present system affecting the city and
county assessors, city physician and
board CT central. ~sse- ~
President E. w. Peet called attention
to the fact that all bills now before
the Legislature should have the careful
consideration of the chamber of COM
merce, and on motion that a committee
be appointed for that purpose, he ap-
pointed Messrs. Langford, Chaplin, Phil
lips, McCardy and Clough.
1t was decided that in o1much as the
discussion of the school tax had been
postponed from time to time, 1T be
made the special order of the next
meeting of the chamber.

1t Is Out This Season for Blood and

John Gordon, the man who formed a steam

out to buck the big lines on the Great Lakes,
was in the city the other day looking up this
end of the line for the seasons business Mr.
Gordon is out for blood and means business

steamers, which he will operate from Buffalo
consin Central lines. The Gordon line has
rock back of it which can stand for as much
competition another road, and some lively
cuts are anticipated Last year the Gordon
lire made it's own rates, and despite the fact
that the pool lines opposed the Gordon COM
pany tooth and nail, the latter concern made
a success of the seasons operations.
