Great Falls. Sept. 23.-At the last meet
ing of the school board 1t was decided
not to permit the teachers of the Great
Falls school district to attend the teach
ers' institute. which will he held in this
city next month. The board compliments
Mrs. Kearns for the excellent program
which she had prepared for the occasion
and it was the sentiment of the meeting
that, while much good could not fail to
be derived from the institution by the
teachers. the expense was so heavy in
salaries, and the loss to the schools so
important that the benefit derived by the
teachers was not compensated.
In order to obviate the necessity of
giving certain pupils but half days
session, and to relieve the congested con-
dit;on of some of the school rooms. it was
decided to open four more rooms as soon
as they can be gotten in readiness and
to employ four additional teachers.
Two of the new rooms will be located
in the central building and two will be
engaged in close proximity to the schools
now suffering from overcrowding.
Professor S. D. Largent reported that
the parents of a large number Of pupils
had refused to have their children vac
cinated, contrary to the order Of the
state and county boards of health in the
matter, basing their refusal on the opin-
ion of the attorney general, who has
stated that the state and county boards
had no authority for the issuance of the
order. y
The board will ask the county attorney
for an opinion on the question as to
whether or not 1t has the power to COM
pei vaccination.

Soldier Boys Go to Lake City For the
Annual Drill Meet.

Company Fl, Second regiment of
Minnesota militia, leftMonday morning

the annual encampment at Lake City.
At Owatonna it transferred to the
Milwaukee road and completed the
trip over that line. The company
turned out ffty-eight strong. besides
the eight who went Saturday. This
will make one of the largest companies
in the camp, Notwithstanding the fact
that it is the youngest. The boys
started out for their first camp with
great deal of enthusiasm.
Company E of Pipestone, Capt. G.
W. Gilmore commanding, passed
through the city this morning on its
way to camp. The boys scattered for
breakfast.

through the city this morning on its

ST. CLOUD REFUSES.
That City Will Not Hold a Library Board
Election.

City Recorder Williams recently
wrote to the recorders of other cities
of the state, asking them whether they
intended to call an election of the
library board under the new law.
He has learned that Red Wing, Still
water and Fariba will call an cleo
ton, but that st. Cloud will not.
Nothing definite has been received
from Winona.
Mr.. Williams received letter Monday
from E. J. Limperich, city clerk of ST.
Cloud, enclosing an opinion from
James R. Bennett Jr., city attorney of
that city, holding that the library law
is unconstitutional and should be dis
regarded. Continuing, Mr.. Bennett
says:
SIT is also rather ambiguous as to
whether it is the duty of the city clerk
of this city to call the election, and 1
am inclined to the opinion that it is
the duty of the library board if an
election is to be held
Mr.. Limperich says that he has not
learned whether the secretary of the
library board intends to call an cleo
ton.
The aldermen do not wish Recorder
Williams to call an election, and there
is a good deal of opposition to the
holding of an election on the part of
citizens, while others are equally anx-
ious to have one held.
City Recorder Williams mas until
Wednesday to call the election, and
hopes that City Attorney Daley will
return by that time to advise him
what to do. Mr.. Williams wants to
do his duty, whatever that may be.
The advice which Mr.. Daley gave
him before leaving was to call the
election.

Assessor Jordan Monday turn
ed his books over to the county audi

the auditors force is busy going over
them.
The assessed valuation of the per-
sonal property of the city as equalized

as returned by the state board of
equalization, was $762, 7O7. The valu-
alton this year is $16S, $50 greater.
This is caused by the listing of $40, 600
more against the building and loan as

mortgages added, increase in goods
and merchandise, etc. The council
did not change the figures much as
returned by the assessor.

JOHN MUIR AT HIS WORK.
The Good Mans Discoveries on the Muir
Glacier.

"For twenty-five years John Muir
has made out of doors his realm. For
more than half this time he lived and
wandered alone over the high Sierras,
thr ough the Yosemite valley, and
among the glaciers of California and
Alaska, studying, sketching, climbing.
At night he sometimes rested 1uxuri-
ously, wrapped in half blanket beside
camp fire. sometimes, when fuel was
wanting, and the way too arduous to
admit of carrying his piece of blanket,
he followed for himself a snug nest in
the snow. He is no longer young
man, but when last saw him he was
making plans to go again to the north,
to explore the four new glaciers dis
covered last summer by the Hartman
expedition. What do you come here
for?' two Alaskan Indians once asked
him, when they had accompanied him
as far, through perilous ways, as he
could hire or coax them to go. TO
get knowledge, was his reply. The
Indians grunted they had no words to
express their opinion of this extraor-
binary lunatic. They turned back and
left him to venture alone across the
great glacier, which now bears his
name. So trifing matter as their
desertion could not deter him from his
purpose. He built cabin at the
edges of the glacier, and there settled
to work, and to live, for two long
years. He made daily trips over that
icy region of deep gorges, rugged de-
scents and past moraines, taking notes
and, making sketches. until he had
obtained the knowledge, and the I'M
derstanding of the knowledge, that
he was after. Muir Glacier is the larg-
est glacier discharging into the won
derful Glacier bay on the Alaskan
coast. Being the most accessible one
in that region, tourists are allowed to
go ashore to climb upon its sheer, icy
cliffs, and watch the many icebergs
that go tumbling down from it. This
is thrilling experience to the globe
trotter, but to dwell there beside the
glacier, to study the phenomena, en-
counter perils, alone and unaided, is
an experience that few besides John
Muir would court. "-Adeline Knapp

TO EVERY FARMER.
The Government Will Try the Scheme of
Delivering Mail to Every Farm House.

st. Paul Pioneer Press:
Free rural delivery will doubtless be
established throughout all of Washing
ton county this summer. The success
of rural delivery in Minnesota has been
so great that the postal officials next
month will investigate thoroughly the
conditions in Washington county, with
view to establishing daily free rural
delivery upon every main road in the
county. Congressman Stevens said last
evening that he had no doubt that the
investigation would mean the estab-
lishment of rural delivery in the coun-
ty this summer.
The system of rural delivery now in
vogue means that all the benefits of the
postoffice are brought to the door of
every farm house on the route. The
carriers sell stamps collect letters and
take registered letters and applications
for money orders. The advantages of
this in a county SO thickly populated,
and in so fourishing condition as
Washington county. have been recog-
nized by farmers generally, and there
is strong demand for rural delivery
throughout the older counties Of the
state.
After the trial in Washington county
proves successful, the system will,
without doubt. be extended through
out other portions of Minnesota, until
all of the more thickly populated coun-
ties have rural delivery on all main
roads.
1t is a peculiar coincidence that the
first two counties in which rural de-
livery was established were Washing
ton counties, one in Mary
land and the other in Ohio Washing
ton county, Minnesota, will be third
in which the attempt to give daily de-
livery to an entire county is tested.
Rural delivery for the territory about
White Bear lake will be installed Aug.
1. The establishing of the route has
been hurried as much as possible for
the benefit of the summer residents at
the lake, to whom the daily delivery
will prove great convenience.

BOARD OF TRADE.
1t Discusses Several Topics of Public
Interest This Morning.

At the board of trade this morning
the matter of the proposed new tele-
graph line to be put in by the Postal
Union company was called attention
to. 1t was stated that the representa-
tive of the line said while here that
the new line will come to Mankato
anyway whether 81, 900 in coupons are
sold or not.
The board discussed the matter of
the election of library board under
the new law, to some extent and the
subject was dropped.
Stomsen & Blome of Chicago, who
put down cement paving, sent a letter
addressed to the board of local i'm
provements regarding the large
amount of cement walk to be put in
here this season and asked for an OPP
portunity to figure on cement, "gran-
olithic," "granitoid'' or "Kilithic"
sidewalks, was read before the board.
These walks, they state, are of a su-
perior quality, and of most substan-
tial nature. 1t was moved that the
communication be handed over to the
board of public works.
The special committee of the board
on electric street railway reported pro-
gress on the matter which they had in
hand, through Dr.. J. w. Andrews,
along the line already published, and
said that if nothing is done by the
holders of the present franchise by the
last of the month that the committee
will work to secure the abrogation of
the franchise and the granting OF one
to new company, which he thought
would build a road within year.
Dr. Andrews called attention to the
new charter which has been framed
and is now before the council. He
moved that committee of five be ap-
pointed to use it's influence with the
council to secure the calling of spe-
cial election at an early date that the
document may be voted upon. The pre-
vailing view of the members present
was that the new charter should be pub
lished so that the people can read and
study it so that they will be better
able to vote upon it's adoption or rejec-
ton.
