ported that In spite of the various re-
ports and promises that work on the

however, that he would put six more
masons to work to-day.
Bids were opened for a building site
in the southeastern part of the city.
The John A. Cannon company offered
lots 81 to 80, block 4, of the Trspona
addition, for 81, 500, or 1857 for each lot.
w. II. Winters offered three different
pieces of ground near the corner of
Montana and Aluminium streets, at
81, 999. SO each, and another piece on the
Single Tax lode, IN Montana street, for
s1,100, and another on Montana, south
of Iron, for $4,999.99.
w. G.. Pfouts offered a piece on the
north side of Aluminium street for
$500, or one-half of it for $500, and
the other half for S1.750. He also Of
fered a corner al Aluminium and Mon
ana streets for sc, 900. All bids were re-
ferred to the building committee with
instructions to report at the next meet
ing of the board.
The clerk and architect reported that
the ground at the Washington street
building was ample to accommodate
another building or a large wing to the
present structure. The district has 1855
feet OF frontage on Broadway and
1873 on Granite, the lots being PAP feet
deep. The matter was referred TO the
building committee with instructions
to consider the ACCESSIBILITY Of erecting
another building on that ground.
A number of bids for furnishing the
district with fuel were opened and re-
ferred to the supply committee.
A 81 900 bond of the Northwestern
Furniture company was received, but
was not approved, as 1t vas signed by
the company only. The clerk was In
structed to notify the agent Of the com
pany to furnish a bond with resident
sureties.
Superintendent Hendricks reported
that the state superintendent had ap-
proved the list of books selected for
the school library.
The superintendent also made a rec
ommendation that the principals of the
different buildings be put to work a
few days before h opening of the
schools so hat they would have time
to check up the free text books, for
which they would have TO give the
clerk a receipt and for which they were
70 be held responsible. He also sug-
gested that the books be numbered TO
designate their condition as 10 wear 80
hat the clerk could put a price on
them in accordance with their value.
Both suggestions were adopted by the
board.
The clerk reported that he had pur-
chased a SIS horse for the district. He
was authorized 10 employ additional
help TO complete the work of covering
the school books and getting ready for
the opening of the schools.

Boyd; the Ackermans. a whole family
OF counterfeiters: Wright Mitchell and
Costin, have all. at different periods,
made this city the central point from
which they circulated their stuff.
And George Coleman, one Of the sharp
est "Koniackers'' in the United States,
who dealt exclusively in green goods"
had a long and varied career In Phila-
delphia. and utterly and successfully de-
fed the detection or arrest in this city.
The history of the word "Koniacker'
Is A strange one, and not without inter-
est. At the beginning OF the present
century the headquarters OF American
counterfeiting were at the town OF Dun
ham, SegniOry of Armand. I'm Canada
Near Nississiqua Bay, in that locality,
IS. or was a village called Freilingsburg,
In which there was a "a called Koni-
ack street. Nearly all the residents Of
that street were CounteTfeiters. and Its
name gave the title to about the most
rascally kind Of business that ever gave
work for a detective force.
The history OF the aforementioned
Ben Boyd reads almost like romance.
He was born in Cincinnati in 1894, the
son OF a wealthy m highly respected
from whom he learned the art
with a view to carrying on the business
In a respectable and reputable manner,
But about the time that he was com
pIeting his studies OF the art he fell in
with Nat kinsey. at that time counter
feiter OF the most daring IND successful
kind. and himself a very superior cut

the Acquaintance Of most Of the noted

Nine Hundred Soldiers Supposed to BE
Lost In the Philippines.
Tacoma, Aug. 30.-The Hong Kong
Daily Press is authority for the state
ment hat 900 Spaniards, including 16
priests, lost their lives several weeks
ago when the Spanish gunboat Leyte
was captured by a vessel belonging to
Admiral Deweys squadron. The Ley
re has been stationed in IN adjoining
island, where the insurgents were nu-
merous and aggressive. The latter were
gaining ground rapidly, causing 500
Spaniards 10 board the three sailing
vessels in an endeavor to escape from
the natives, who vould massacre them.
The gunboat Leyte undertook to tow
the three transports to Manila bay.
where The Spaniards aboard them were
to surrender TO Admiral Dewey If they
did not succeed In landing
somewhere and reaching Ma
Mia under cover OF dark
ness. After the Leyte had towed them
down Pampansas river and some dis
lance along the coast. a heavy storm
came up. making IL necessary for the
gunboat to cut her tows loose and pro-
coed to Manila for assistance. The
Leyte fell in with an American the next
day, which returned to look for the
transports, but could find no trace CT
them.
The natives on the adjoining coast
say they saw nothing or any vessels.
The Hong Kong Press finally reached
the conclusion that the vessels founder
ed with all on board.
The Chinese Emperor has issued an
edict that European n American mis-
~sionaries and their converts in his en-
pire be fully protected. He says that
in this respect all Chinese officials have
heretofore been derefict. He issues this
edict as a final warning and declares his
determination that there shall be no
o riots.

port duties now imposed in Japan are

New York, Aug. 90.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from Washington says:
The auxiliary cruisers Yale and Har-
ward. which, though still retaining their
naval complement of officers and men,
have been under army jurisdiction for
the last two weeks as transports, have
made their last voyages for the present
as transports and will be restored to
their owners as soon as they can be pat
in condition for passenger service. The
naval officers nave ordered the com
manders of these vessels to discharge
the ammunition and arms at Tomp-
kinsviIle and make ready TO go out OF
service, the quarterrnaster's depart
ment of the rmy which has been
paying the charter price of IS 200 a day
for the vessels since the middle of Au-
gust. having announced that he has no
further use for them. The avy de-
partment is under obligations TO repair
the two ships and put them in their
original condition. This will cause con-
siderable embarrassment, as all the
government shipyards are o~vercrowded
with work. and IL is impossible for
the Cramps 70 undertake the work for
some time. The Harvard and Yale will
probably be sent TO the Newport News
shipyard and renovated at government
expense.
The contract with the owners of the
American liners calls for the payment
of $40, 900 a day as long as the four
ships are kept out of their regular
ocean trips, besides making good any
injuries to the vessels. 1t is esti-
mated that the use Of these vessels
for six months will cost nearly
50. 900, 900 for charter and over $500, 900
for repairS.

GRASS WORK.
A Tour of Investigation on the Pacific
Coast.

A Tour of investigation on the Pacific
Coast.
Washington. Aug. 3o.-Prof. Lamson
Scribner. agrostolist of the agricultural
department, has completed a six
weeks tour of investigation on the Pa
oihc coast and returned here. The IN
vestigation was looking TO the extern
sion of grass experimental work to the
other side OF the Rocky mountains,
which has heretofore been the western
limit in his service. and also to the i'm
planting of sand-blnding plants where
sand dunes sweep over the land and
partially e~ngulhng telegraph poles and
fruit trees, cause great damage. The
result of the investigation is a recon-
m%endation for extending the former
work and for making practical demon
strations of the feasibility of sand
binding operations. One grass expert
ment station under direct operation of
the department Is to be established
probably near Walla Walla, Wash.
At Yakima. Wash. the Northern Pa
cihc railroad maintains a station for
grass experiments. which the road has
offered 20 turn over TO the government.
1t is the expectation that the results Of
the extension of the service will be the
restoration, at least In part. of the Pa
cihc coast ranges 10 their former con-
dItion. Drifting sands along the rivers
and coast were especially watched, and
people interested will be shown by
practical demonstration how to prevent
sand blowing over the country. At
one point there was a fence Is feet high
TO keep the sand OFF the railroad
tracks and telegraph poles, and the
work is much needed in Oregon and
Washington. Scribner will recommend
the planting of seaside grass, a wild
species Of sedge and beach grass, now
used at some points to effect this pur-
nose.
