yesterday

The opening yesterday of two of the
large industrial schools which are con-
/ Quoted in the city during the winter
months, calls attention to the excellent
work that is being done along this line
by philanthropic women VINO are Wiling
to give their time to, and to snare their
better advantages with, those children
whose industrial training would otherwise
be neglected. Perhaps the oldest of these
schools is the one held in the Relief hall,
under the auspices of the Relief society.
This school opened yesterday with an at
tendance of 175 pupils and it is expected
that this number will increase largely
during the month. Mrs. T. l.. Blood is
superintendent of the school. She is as
sisted by Mrs. Gardner Moore and Mrs.
Duffy. For over twenty years now the
school has opened the first Saturday in
October. The teachers are all volunteers
and enter heartily into the spirit of the
work. Material provided by the RELIEF
society is cut up into garments by the
women in charge and distributed among
the various classes. When garment is
completed it may be purchased by the
pupil for five cents. The women also look
after the welfare of their pupils, see that
they dress neatly and that they have
medical attendance when it is needed.
When the girls have finished their course
at the school, situations in good families
are IOunQ IOr Inen IL ltl6y So QSSlIO
This year there seems to be scarcity
of volunteer teachers and the super
intendent and her assistant would be
glad to obtain the services of anyone
who has the leisure and is competent to
aid in the work. The school closes the
last Saturday in March.
The Peoples church industrial school
opened yesterday morning in the base
ment of the church. Thirty-six girls and
twenty boys were enrolled. The school
is held every Saturday morning during
the fall and winter months The girls
are taught sewing and the elements of
domestic science, and the boys are taught
manual training Mrs c. G. Child is
superintendent of the work this year and
Miss Elsie Nichols, secretary. Mrs A. j..
Goodrich is superintendent of sewing;
Mrs Asa Goodrich, of the sewing; the
Misses Smith, the kitchen garden. Prof.
Zuber has charge of the boys depart
ment He is assisted by Miss Nicols and
Miss Folsom. Miss Martha Neal is pian-
ist 'e
For the present those in charge of the
new Neighborhood house on the West
side have dispensed with a formal open
ing and the industrial classes are already
at work in their new quarters. AS soon
as a resident can be obtained the house
will be formally opened with appropriate
exercises.

Wh1te-haired riverman who has been
brought up on the river and in lumber
camps, the deep shuddering whistle OF
the raftboat, the screeching grind of the
mills and the sight of the logs is like a

ton it has gained his sympathies. The
Wrecking of rafter affects him like the
death of a dear friend. And as the lum-

veteran, tried and true, may be seen
standing alone at the waters edge, gaz-

river and seeing, through the eyes of
memory, the scenes when numbering was

GIGANTIC INDUSTRY FAILING
SawmilIs Have Gradually Closed
Down and the Lumbermen ~
Have Sought Other
Fields.

For several years it has been evident
that the lumber industry of the M1ssis-
sppi valley had seen its best days. This
once gigantic industry is gradually pass
ing away, and it's place being filled with
other big business enterprises. Wher-
ever one meets an old riverman or
sawmiIl man he hears this story cover
again. The palmy days of the sawmill
are over. The past year was one of the
dullest and most improbable the Missis-
sippi lumbermen ever knew. Many 1t
tie river cities that a few years ago
boosted a big lumber business, with saw
mills running full blast and employing
many workmen, now either have no saw
mill at all, or If they do have one, it is
idle more than half the year. Gradually

business In the early days are pulling out

This has had paralyz1ng effect on
many small town where the sawmill
supported half the population.
Three years ago dozens of mills between
here and La Crosse, most of which had
an enormous capacity worked day and
night through the entire season to sup
ply the demand. The demand for men
was large and at times there were not
enough men to supply 1t. One by one the
big mills ceased to operate, until at the
beginning of the present season there
We're but few left. Owners of the other
mills had moved their interests to Ore
gon, Florida and other states. where the
lumber business had not yet been a COM
merclal factor but where the wealth Of
the Forests Is as great as it once had
been in this region. The demand for lum-
Der is now even greater than it was years
ago, but now there is nothing with which
to supply the demand.
The mills which have been operated
this summer have worked only part of
the time, unable to secure the logs nee

During the busy days of the logging in

men, who usually worked in the harvest

town preparatory to leaving for the lum-

state, about Oct. Is, and about a week
later hundreds of them would leave for
the north with large droves of heavy
horses and equipment. These, too, have
in manner disappeared.
There is one feature to the lumber bust

can substitute; that is, the romantic fea-

In the animal section eight CALLED or
lame horses were laid off work, two
ordered to veterinary surgeon, eight hui
namely killed, being incapacitated for
further labor; four dogs humanely kill
ed; home found for one; one barn was

submitted an interesting report of work
done at the Stock Yards, where some
hundreds of animals have received atten-
ton during the last four months.
Attention was called to the continued
overlooking off coal teams, to which
abuse the society will give special at
tention during the next few months.
Mr.. c. H Goodrich and Mrs. Thomas
