ST. JOHNS PARISH FIRE THREW
MORE CHILDREN INTO IT'S
FOLD
SCHOOL WORK IS RESUMED

increases In Attendance Are Marked
at ALL the Schools in the City, but
the Total WIFI Not He Made Up
by the School Authorities Until
Today-New Central High Prin-
ciDaI Mt His Desk.
The st. Paul public schools opened yes
terday, and while the superintendent had
no figures to give out, he stated that
there was an increased attendance at all
the schools. The most noticeable increase
In the enrolment was at the Van Buren,
school in the Second ward. Last year
the enrolment was LEA, and yesterday
$50 new pupils presented themselves for
enrolment. Miss Laura Hand, principal
of the school, seen yesterday afternoon,
said the increase was due TO the fact
that St. Johns parochial school, which
was destroyed by fire in June, did not
open yesterday and the pupils from the
school to- the number of about 40 present.
ed themselves for admission to the Van
Buren, school. This meant Miss Hand
said, that there would have to be more
halliday sessions in order to accommo-
date the children. The school, when it
closed in June. had three rooms where
halliday sessions were held, owing to
there being no room to accommodate the
pupils. The increased enrolment meant
that in three more rooms halliday ses-
SlOnS would have to be held.
Father Gleason. who is in change of
st. Johns parish, seen last evening, said
that when the parish school was struck
by lightning last summer and destroyed,
there was an insurance on the church
property including the school house. The
loss was adjusted at $2,2O0 and 1t had
been the intention to rebuild the school
house. There was a mortgage on the
property, held by the st. Paul Savings
bank, and the receiver, e. j. Hodgson,
had taken steps to secure the insurance
money to apply on the mortgage. This
had prevented the reconstruction OF the
school. It was possible that the matter
would be adjusted without going into the
courts, and If so, the building would be
rebuilt this year. The total enrolment
at the school, Father Gleason said, was
$50, and he, understood that number Of
the more advanced pupils would attend
Cretin school until the building was re-
built
About 400 pupils were received at the
high schools and three score were received
on certificates from other cities and on
examinations.
Dr. Edward Van Dyke Robinson, the
new principal Of the Central high school,
was at his desk early yesterday morning.
He is much pleased with the outlook and
said that there was large attendance
and a good spirit prevailing.

CITY TO REPAIR STREETS
PRESIDENT POTTGIESER URGES
THE PLAN ON BOARD OF
PUBLIC WORKS
Committee Is Appointed to Consider
the Proposition and Submit a Re-
port at the Next Meeting of the
Board.

port at the Next Meeting of the
Board.
At the meeting of the conference com
mittee yesterday President Pottgieser, Of
the board of public works, brought up
again his suggestion that the city should
have repair shop and also take charge
of the repairs to asphalt and wooden
pavements.
The city, Mr.. Pottgieser said, was pay
ing this year S11z cents per square. yard
for repairing wooden pavements, as
against 1872 cents last year. Trouble was
also experienced in getting the asphalt
pavement contractors to repair the streets
where needed. The contracts provided that
the asphalt streets were to be kept in
repair for a period of ten years, and the
city retained 10 per cent of the contract
price to secure the work being done. On
this amount retained the city paid per
cent annually. His idea was that the
city should do the repairing and save the
interest. AS it was now the contractors
failed to make the repairs as soon as
they should be made. Up to date the city
had paid this year $4,000 for repairing
wooden pavements, and with the city do
ing the work under a master mechanic,
appointed by the city engineer there
could be a great saving, possibly $4,000
in all the branches.
City Engineer Claussen did not think 1t
advisable to have an asphalt plant, but
agreed that there could be saving made
by having the city do its own repairing
Of wooden pavements and have a forge
and general repair shop.
The matter was referred to a special
cimmittee, consisting of President Pott-
gieser, City Engineer Rundlett and Presi-
dent Dix, of the assembly, to investigate
and report at the next meeting.
President Zimmerman, of the school
board, called attention to the overcrowd-
ed condition of the Van Buren, school,
which was occasioned by the failure OF
st. Johns parochial school to open it's
doors. The board had at present eleven
annexes running, and it looked very
much as if there would have to be several
more opened
Comptroller McCardy called the atten-
ton of President Kerwin, of the board
of control, to the fact that the depart
ment was expanding more than a month
ly pro rata of the $4,000 set apart in the
tax budget for the department
President Kerwin said the expenses
were being kept down as close as possible,
but the inmates Of the city hospital num-
bering 255, and the sixty-five inmates of
the alnshouse, had to be provided for
The only way he could suggest as to a
reduction of expenses would be to re-
duce salaries at the city hospital
Mr.. McCardy said he simply desired to
call the attention of the conference COM
mittee and the board of control to the
fact that if the present rate of expendi-
lures were kept up during the balance
of the year the fund would not be large
enough to carry the department through
the year. Mr.. Kerwin said the matter
would be given attention by the board at
it's next meeting.

Field FOR JOBBERS
THROUGH TARIFFS TO THE BIG
HORN BASIN IN NORTHERN
WYOMING
COUNTRY IS UNDEVEL0PED
Contract Made by the Northern Pa
eific with the Wyoming Wagon
Transportation Company VIII
Give ST. Paul a Lower Rate Than
That I'm Effect From Omaha
Branch Line Possible.

st. Paul jobbers will soon have a field
opened to them which has heretofore
been practically unknown to thtm. The
Northern Pacific railway has entered In
to a contract with the Wyoming Wagon
Transportation company by which that
road will publish through tariffs TO the
Big Horn basin, in the northern part of
Wyoming. =.
This country is still in an undeveloped
condition. and is rich mining and
stock region 100 miles long. AT present
the bulk Of the business for the basin
comes from Omaha via Casper, on the
Fremont. Elkhorn & Missouri. Valley
railway, connecting at Casper with the
Lander Transportation company, which
carried the freight overland on wagons
Now that the Northern Pacific has
contracted with the Wyoming Transpor-
tation company the rates on all connmo-
dites from St. Paul to the Big Horn
basin will be the same, or better, as those
on goods shipped from Omaha via Cas-
per. The point on the Northern Pacific
where the goods will be loaded on wagons
for the overland trip Is Bridger. Mont.
about thirty miles south Of Billings. The
pass from Bridger to the basin Is far
more suitable for transportation than
the pass from Casper, and the freight
officials Of the Northern Pacific ant1ci-
pate a great business.
Assistant General Freight Agent Ran
tout has the work In hand, and will In
terview the Twin Cities jobbers and ask
them to send representatives into the
new country at once to feel the pulse of
trade.
Should the Big Horn business develop
RAPIDLY, it is only matter of time when
the Northern Pacific will build a branch
from Bridger into the heart Of this fer
tile region.
