just what plans the Grand Trunk has
regarding the coming season no one
seems to know but those directly con-
cerned. It has been understood that the
old coal wharf was TO be narrowed and
Tetuilt, which would give more room in
the basin, and another grain conveyor
run out from the big elevator. There is
plenty of water and plenty of room In
which to expand. but nothing has as yet
been done to indicate that the Grand
Trunk anticipates sny difficulty In tax

ANNUAL SCHOOL REPORT.
County School Superintendent F. F. Pine
Made His Annual Report Today,

County School superintendent F. f.
Pine to-day made his annual report to
M. C. de Baca, superintendent of public
instruction, who states that this report
is the best yet received from any county
superintendent.
The report shows that great improve
ment is being made in the public schools
throughout the county, but at the same
time demonstrates the fact that there is
still room for improvement. Financial
ly the districts are in good shape, al
though 1t is an open question whether it
| would not be wiser in the end to spend
more on the schools and have a smaller
balance In the school district treasures
at the end of the fiscal year. There are
thirty-two schools in the county and
thirty-three teachers outside of the city
| schools of Santa Fe. Nine of the thir-
ty-two schools were closed part or all
| Of the school term on account of the
prevalence of the smallpox last spring.
In all there were 104 months of school
during the year ending October l, or ar
| average school term throughout the
| county Of a little more h three
months. When it comes to the attend
ance of the schools the average makes
a still poorer showing, for while the to-
tai school population of the county is
ABB, 2,19S male and 1895 female, the
enrolment was only LAOS, S39 male and
357 female, and the average attendance
only 962, COS male and 357 female. Oct. l.
1898, there was a balance in the differ
ent district school treasures of 50, 800. SO
the general school tax receipts since
then have been 1928. 81, and from pol
tax 1852 SO.
The expenditures have been for teach
ers' wages, SO, 2 {. rs; rent, fuel, etc.
$775. IS; for repairs to school building!
and grounds, $l37.25. This leaves {
balance of 81, 100 10. There are q mer
and 6 women teachers in the county out

is a little less than $l10 a year.
