FAST BUILDING WORK
NEW WAREHOUSE ON THIRD
STREET GOING UP rapidly.

AS an instance Of rapid building. work
under disadvantageou3 circumstances. the
record for the season probably belongs
to the contractors engaged in the erection
or the large warehouse opposite the
Grlggs-Cooper building on East Third
street. 1t was about the middle of May
before force of workmen was put at
clearing away the piles of rubbish with
which the vacant lot was covered to the
depth OF several feet; then the work of
driving ffty-foot piles was commenced.
The foundation proper was not laid until
over six weeks later but now the building
mas been practically completed for four
OF the five stories, and the contractors
expect to turn the building over to Messrs.
Koehler & Hinrichs by the middle Of Oc-
tober
AS an idea of what building on such
sWampy ground as this structure is placed
On means, it may be mentioned that no
fewer than 1000 piles were sunk to q
depth of between fifty and ffty-five feet
before any concrete work was attempted
These piles are, of course, invisible, but
they represent an outlay of between IS, 600
and $4,000, as, according to the contract
CT, each of the long poles is worth be-
tween IS and SO
The front of the structure is to be of
Twin City pressed brick, the trimming
Will be of Kasota stone, and the inside
work is supplied by the Chaska wolHs.
When completed the building will have
cost $S5000.
Newman & Hoy are the contractors,
and the former, speaking of The Job yes
terday, said that it had been one of the
fastest pieces of work in his experience
as contractor, the quality of the work
and the natural handicaps to fast prog

FAVORED BY OLSEN
STATE SUPERINTENDENT IN SYM
PATTY WITH RURAL SCHOOL
CONSOLIDATION
A SUCCESS IN THE EAST
Wherever Tried, the Scheme Has
Proved Satisfactory, and Has
Resulted in Increased
Economy.

Ever since State Superintendent Olsen
assumed office he has given considerable
attention to the problem Of rural school
consolidation in Minnesota. and promises
TO make this one Of the vital issues OF
his administration. The question of rural
school consolidation and transportation of
pupils is q very old one in the Eastern
states, but it is practically a new propo-
sition in Minnesota, owing to the different
conditions existing in the rural districts
Of the state. But conditions existing else
where are bound to arise more CIR less
in Minnesota, and Supt. Olsen secured
the passage of law at the last session
or the legislature contemplating an eX-
tension of this work. The shifting of
country population In the older states long
ago forced the problem of consolidation
upon the older states. Massachusetts.
Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York
New Jersey and Ohio have given the
question important consideration for
years, and have gradually created a SEN
timent among the people favorable for
general consolidation. Consolidation is
made necessary, 1t is concluded, by the
decrease of country population, which
results in poorly attended schools. in
competent teachers, small wages, and
constant deterioration Of the quality of
work done by the schools. In the older
states this condition has been so general
and so aggravating as to be a menace to
the state.
To accomplish consolidation of
schools it was necessary to overcome
deeply rooted prejudice for the old neigh
borhood system. This has been gradu-
ally done. The result has invariably been
says Mr. Olsen, that the averag standard
has been greatly raised, better teachers
better teaching and better equipment of
schools have been secured; the whole tone
of the community has been changed and
improved, and there has been an actual
economy Of expenditure. In New York
state two years ago there were nearly
4 COO schools with an average attendance
of less than ten. It was equally bad in
other states. This is the condition which
Mr.. Olsen says makes consolidation nee
essary Every state which has tried the
new system and introduced transportation
Of pupils from the farm homes to
central graded school has proved It to be
q saving in money. In Minnesota condI-
tions have not been nearly so bad as in
the other states, but there are many op-
pOrtunities for the advantageous consoI-
idation Of districts.
The problem is little hard
er in this state because it is
more like the Southern states, the town
ship not being a natural unit. Supt. Oh
sen has studied the conditions in Min
nesOta for years. and is enthusiastic on
the subject. He has lectured around the
state about it and aroused much interest.
He intends to issue a bulletin, giving a
summary Of conditions and remedies in
other states and outlining his plans for
the extension of the work in Minnesota.

TO KEEP FOOD CRISP.

A novel way of opening q package of
food is shown on ths Grape-Nuts pack
age, where q line indicates that a slit
should be made with knife, and the
package squeezed. which makes 1t gap
enough to pour out what is needed for
meal. then the package automatically
closes, preserving the contents from the
moisture of the air.
As a rule. Grape-Nuts packages are
not kept on hand very long in any
family, but it Is well to know how ID
keep the contents Of the package In

NEWS OF
THE COURTS
Alleged Murderer Captured.

| The cleverest piece of work done by
a county peace officer for months was
that accomplished by Deputy Constable
Juan Franco today when he captured
Vidal Loya.
| Vidal was arrested on a warrant
charging murder and he is accused OF
killing a helpless old Mexican woman
for her money.
The crime was committed by I'M
known parties last July and there was
then absolutely no clue that might lead
to the detention of the guilty parties.
| The deed was a cold blooded affair.
Early one morning MeXicans residing
in the little settlement near the Santa
Fe depot discovered that Refugio Cana,
woman of so, had been shot and rob-
bed during the night.
The alarm was given and the coroner
notified A careful investigation dis
closed that the old woman had been
shot with her own pistol and alter
wards robbed. That was all. There
was no evidence of who had commit
ted the deed. The temporary excite
ment in the settlement soon subsidized
and the affair was almost forgotten by
everyone except Juan Franco who was
put on the case to work it up.
1t was not long until he learned that
Vidal Loya. a man living next door to
the murdered woman mad disappeared
on the day following the tragedy.
Franco made careful inquirys concern
ing Laya and gathered enough TO
strengthen his suspicious.
After an absence of seven months
Laya at last turned up in this city
again and as soon as he arrived here
he was arrested on a warrant charg-
ing him with the crime of murder
Recovered Stolen Satchel.
This morning the police recovered
from Juarez a physicians hand satchel ,
which was stolen from a local practi-l

gy and it was given up for lost until
George Harold went over to Juarez this
morning and brought it back.

Murder
at Alden
Three Men Arrested
Charged With the
Crime.

The mysterious murder of a Mexican
at Alden, Dona Ana county. New Mex
leo, forty-five miles west of Ell Paso.
resulted last night in the arrest of Jose
J sa. Toribio Huertes and Cruz Vigil
!, who came in on the east bound S. p.
train.
The first intimation of the murder
ceived by the authorities was con-
tanned in a dispatch last night to Su-
perintendent Martin. of the G. H.. from
the agent up the line. 1t simply said
that two men believed to know some
thing about the murder were aboard
number 10.
Special Officers Rayner and Hudson
and the train conductor were all mott
fled. The two officers mounted their
bikes and went out to the quarantine
station and the conductor kept the sus-
poets under strict surveillance. Capt
Ten Eyck also took a hand in the game
and stationed Officers Clements, Scott,
and Mitchell at the station to be in
readiness to apprehend the suspects
and when the train pulled in the po-
lice officers arrested the three men.
When the prisoners were searched at
the police station a dirk. knife. and
SS.95 was found on Garcia: a pistol, a
knife and $49.05 on Huertes, and two
checks for $4,000 on Vigil
The two checks were drawn by s.
II. Buchanan. the contractor, on the
First National bank of this city
The crime of which the men are
suspected was committed at Alden.
Early yesterday morning the body of a
dead Mexican was discovered in a cul-
vert near that point. He had been
dead several hours and the murderer or
murderers had evidently set fire to the
culvert to burn the body and conceal
the crime.
The sheriff of Dona Ana county was
notified of the arrest and replied that
he would come to Ell Paso Immediately
10 endeavor to identify the prisoners
The chief received dispatch at noon
from the sheriff of Dona Ana county
him to hold the three men
until the arrival of that officer to-
morrow.

pany called the Austin. Bastrop &

part of the proposed line was sur
veyed and right of way secured. Hard
times came on and the enterprise was
abandoned. The scheme has been re-
