the board of trade rooms by the latter
gentleman. The manufactures COM
mittee of the board of trade held spe-
cial meeting yesterday afternoon in
conjunction with Mr. Torbet and the
final arrangements for the opening OF
subscriptions were decided upon.
1t Is the general concensus of opin-
ion among the members of the board of
trade that never before in that body S
history has the outlook for the final
establishment of a proposed industry
been so favorable.
Mr.. Torbet, when seen last evening
was especially enthusiastic. He said:
II have looked over all the plots of
land on which we hold options and
think that the West Side sites are as
favorable as any, if not more so. The
people of this section Of the city, I an
told. have long been crying for an in

"The company is to be capitalized a

1t is generally known that betweei
$50, 900 and 100000 is already in sight
which fact would tend to bear out tn
sarguine prophecies of the members o
the board of trade.

Local Parties Endeavoring 10 Bring Abou

It appears that there are two separate

ing outside capital to do the work
Each has been at work in its own way

A we'll known gentleman of this city
was recently in New York City, and
one object of his visit at the Metropolis

extent that these capitalists sent on a
representative, who was in the city
yesterday. looking the ground over.
He was so we'll satis6 that he is ex-
pected to make favorable report, and
the local promoters of the enterprise
have no doubt but that the necessary
capital can heen listed in time for work
to begin in the early spring.
We learn today, however, that this
move will go no further until it is def
nitely decided whether local capital de-

and the same is likely to continue. A
simple reader often costs two years
labor of the highest skill for it's compila-
tion Then unless it be excellent the
money is thrown away.
Minnesota in 1877 got the Merrill text
book law, which gave that company
monopoly for fifteen years. Yet the
books were so poor that scores Of dis
tricts refused to take them although
the law provided severe fines and pen
alties for refusal The contract ex-
pired in 1892, and the books went glim
mering in the face of superior quality
for far less money. In 1888 we got our.
free text book law This requires pub
fishing houses to file sample of the,
books and list of prices with the state
superintendent. The result is that we,
have severe competition from all the.
publishers of the country, and any dis
trict in the state may buy its books as
cheap as the richest of them. 1t may
be there can be found some improve
ment, and the'matter should certainly
have the fullest investigation But the,
scheme of establishing a printing plant
and publishing our own books should
only be adopted after it shall be
thoroughly proved that it is not Wis
ionary and chimerical."
In the light of all this it would seem
that it would be best for the state to,
proceed very slow in the matter. It
would further seem as though, if the
matter were considered rightly, that
the state might continue to have the
benefit of the best books published by
the great school book publishing con-
Germs and at rates that would not be op.
pressive In connection with this there
is another fact to be kept in mind. and
that is that it is not that school books
are always in themselves so expensive,
but that needless changes ARE often
made, necessitating purchase of new
set of books closely following upon the
parchase of those of the series that,
have been in use This is often one of
the most expensive features of the
school book question. And again, we

1t Matters Not How OBJ
stinate, or What Other
Remedies Have Failed.

Obstinate sores and ulcers, which
refuse to heal under ordinary treat
ment, soon become chronic and deep
seated, and lead to conditions most
serious. They are caused indifferent
ways, but in every case the blood is
involved, and no amount of local treat
ment can have any effect. The poison
must be eliminated from the blood
before a cure can be had
