Board of Trustees Also Fixes the
Time for Holiday Vacations.
The regular monthly meeting of the
Board of Trustees of Schools Of the District
OF Columbia was held yesterday afternoon
in the Franklin School Building All OF
the members of the board were present.
James W. Whelpley, President of the
board called the meeting together. An
amendment prohibiting the admission of
pupils into the normal school after the
Friday following the first Monday in Oc-
tober of each school year was adopted.
A report was made that the saloon at
the corner of New York Avenue and L
Street was over 400 feet from the school in
First Street and it was therefore impossible
to take any formal steps toward the clos
ing of the place. A resolution to make
individual protest against the saloon was
adopted. The time for the Christmas holi-
days in the various schools was fixed from
the Thursday before Christmas until Tues
day, January .. A petition was received
from the jantors of the different school
buildings asking for an increase in salary.
The petition was held for action at the
next meeting Of the board. The changes in
teachers were as follows: The resignation
of G. i. Altschu was accepted; i. e. Fl.
BaIlenger was transferred from the tenn
porary TO the permanent roll; E- NJ. Hail
was appointed a temporary teacher; the
salaries of Elsie Roche and G. E. Church
were raised from $3.50 TO $475; the salary

Mount Pleasant Citizens Want One
Erected In Howard Avenue.
The members Of the Mount Pleasant
Citizens Association are preparing to
make vigorous campaign during the win
ter and spring looking TO the improvement
and extension Of the streets and avenues
and the educational facilities of that sec
tion Of the District. The meeting of the
association held last night was at the
SratfoTd Hotel instead of the Congrega-
tional Church building, in Howard Avenue.
The proceedings were presided over by the
president H. H. TwombIey, with Mr.. VIII
liam Montgomery as secretary.
The most important subject discussed
was that of recommending to the District
the erection of a suitable building and TIE
establishment of a high school in that
part of the District. The matter was call
ed to the attention Of the meeting by Mr..
A. B. Chatfield who suggested that such
an institution should be placed somewhere
in Howard Avenue between Sixteenth and
Seventeenth Streets In that position, he
said, it would be about equidistant from
the other high schools in the northern part
of the city.
The matter was referred to the Com
mittee on Schools with instructions to in
vestigate the subject and submit the re-
suit of their research to the Commission
ers for consideration.
Mr B. W Holman stated that it Is pro-
posed to amend the bill now before Con-
gress for the extension of Sixteenth Street
so as TO make il similar 10 that providing
for the extension of Nineteenth Street. The
bill for the extension of Sixteenth Street
provides for an assessment OF benefits and
damages on all property for a distance OF
$50 feet from the line of the extended street
while that relating to the extension Of
Nineteenth Street does not specify any par
ticular distance. The matter was referred
TO the Committee on Streets.
Donald Mcpherson suggested that Con-
gress be pettioued to construct a bridge
across Rock Greek at the entrance OF Kene-
saw Avenue into the Geological Park This,
also, was referred to the Committee on
Streets George W H. SOelner, a newly
elected member of the association, asked
the cooperation of the members in having
certain Improvements made along Sixteenth
Street north of Howard Avenue. For the
convenience OF the residents along the
street, he said it was necessary that at least
three gas lamps should be erected, and that
one side of the street should be paved for
a distance of about 450 feet

"A Star play on Jne railroad CHECKER
board came to light last Friday
afternoon, when L. Roseberg of
Illinois, the owner Of the southwest
quarter of section 16, Vesta town.
ship, came to Redwood Falls with S.
F. Peterson of Kintire, and an
nounced that he had sold the south
half of his quarter, or 80 acres, to a
representative of the Chicago &
Northwestern railroad. To prove
his statement he produced a con-
tract, wherein it is stated that $25
was paid as earnest money, 800
was to be paid at the time the deed
was placed alongside of the money
and the balance of the amount due
was to be paid inside of 20 days.
In case the company failed to do
this Mr.. Roseberg was to have the
$125 and free title to his land. Mr..
Roseberg was particularly elated
over his sale, because he received
$31 per acre, about $13 more than
the tract could command at fair
valuation of the land in that section,
and not admitting that a railroad
would pass through that township.
Before he left town on Friday the
800 was laying alongside of his
deed in the Redwood County Bank
The news of this transfer, coupled
with the fact that such large price
was paid for the 80 acres, created a
general furry in this city, as we'll
as in the country around section 16,
Vesta. The contract called for the
delivery of the deed to Mr.. E. S.
Korns, whom last weeks GAZETTE
stated was here, and had been here
for three weeks in the interest of a
railroad company, and these two
facts set the town and country to
talk railroad. In fact, an hour after
Mr.. ROseberg struck town the rail
road bulls and bears were con-
structing and tearing down lines OF
railroad all over Redwood county.
With the news came additional in
formation that Attorney Charles
T. Howard of the firm of Baldwin &
Howard of this city was acting as
land solicitor for the railroad com
pany and Mr.. Korns, and was
then engaged in attempting to
buy all of the land in Sec
ton 16, with the exception ot
the other 80 acres of Mr.. Roseberg,
which had been left out of the deal,
owing to the high price the latter
asked for it. In fact, it was positively
stated on Friday night that Mr..
Howard had secured the remaining
tracts in that section, owned by +.
Bohac, c. Boshek and S. Ander-
son, and there is no doubt but what
all or part of these tracts have
been gobbled up by the railroad
company.

Redwood line to be extended west,
and section Is, Vesta, to be made
the first town west of Redwood
Falls, or is the Iowa & Minnesota
railroad to be constructed northwest
from Sanborn? If so, has there
been one or more sites purchased
between Sanborn and section 16?
No information can be secured to
confirm the latter statement, At
the court house no deeds have been
placed on record during the past
month to warrant statement that
one or more town sites have been
purchased in Vail, New Avon or
| Willow Lake, and no startling rail
road news has come from THE
GAZETTE unusually active cor
respondents in those townships.
The line of survey from Sanborn
northwest passes through Charles
town, Willow Lake, New Avon,
Sheridan and the south half of
Vesta, to the commencement of the
bend in the Redwood river at the
southwest quarter of section 16, the
quarter owned by J. Bohac. The
survey runs from Vail to the cream
cry on the southwest quarter of
section 29, Sheridan, and then zig
zags westerly to the point in section
l6, Vesta, already mentioned. If
section Is is to be used as a town.
site by the company it is probable
that the line of survey will be
changed from pointas far south as
Vail, and made to run northwesterly
to the southeast corner of section
l6, Vesta, this corner being where
the 80 acres of land that Mr.. Rose
berg sells for $3l per acre, is To-
Gated. This is on the supposition
that the line to be built is the San
born northwest line. In case it is
the Redwood Falls extension, which
now seems hardly probable, the
section is likely to be hit square in
the centre.
Mr.. Howard was seen Monday
morning. He acted as attorney for
the Northwestern in South Dakota,
and when asked whether he was
acting as agent for the company at |
this place in connection with the
purchases, he refused to make any
statement whatever. He finally ad-
mitted having bought tract of land |
in section Is, Vesta, but stated that
he was following out orders, and
that aside from the fact that the
deeds were to be made out to Mr..
korns, he did not know that the
lands were even wanted by any
railroad company. He admitted
that the purchases had been ordered
pushed, but for what purpose he
did not know. At the time this
article was written Mr.. Korns was
said to be at Sanborn, buying right
of-way from Sanborn south, and no
information could be secured of him
by representative of this paper in
that town. It is understood that
he will visit Redwood Falls this
week.
In the first paragraphs of this
article it is stated that the west half
OF section Is had been purchased of
Bohac and Boshek. This appears
to be mistake as these two parties,
refused to sell their tracts for anv
consideration. It is now stated
that the Anderson tract in section
16, Vesta, has been bought in full,
together with 80 acres in section 9
OF the same party, and 80 acres
from Roseberg, giving the company
32O acre townsite tract.
