DIR. OHAGE ORDERS OUTFIT OF
GYMNASIUM SUPPLIES FOR
HARRIET ISLAND
HIGH ToBoGGAN SLIDE
Elaborate Preparations Are Being
Made to Insure Facilities for
Entertainment at the
Public Baths.

Health Commissioner Ohage yesterday
placed an order for over $500 worth OF
gymnasium supplies which he will use in
an outdoor recreation ground on Harriet
island. The money represents the fund
turned over to the doctor by the Modern
Woodmen, and will be further enhanced
by funos that DR.. Ohage hopes to collect
The gymnasium is new fad with the
health commissioner and will embrace
everything in the shape of fixtures gener-
ally found in a frst-class gymnasium.
There will be vaulting horses, rings, hori-
zontal bars, strength testing machines
and tennis courts. Even the women will
be taken care of, the list having been ar
ranged so as to provide for their comfort
and pleasure
The gymnasium, says the doctor, will
be installed on one of the lawns immedi-
ately beneath the shade of the big trees
that cover the island, and will also be
provided with awnings in case of rain.
DR.. Ohage thinks it will be a taking fea-
ture and hopes to realize greatly from it.
There will be no charge for the use OF
the fixtures. Capable trainers and IN
structors will be in charge.
Another feature that will probably be
added this year will be a water toboggan
slide. It will be sufficiently high to make
the sport exciting and will be substan-
TALLY built. Other features will be added
from time to time.

ST. PAUL OF CANADA
THOMAS KELLY SAYS WINNIPEG
IS FORGING AHEAD
RAPIDLY
BIG BUILDING BOOM THERE
Leads All Canadian Cities as ST. Paul
Does Those in This Coun-
try-Buying Heavy
Machinery.

''I see by the papers that st. Paul leads
all American cities in respect to the
amount of building done last year, in
proportion to population said Thomas
Kelly, of Winnipeg, the largest contrac-
tor in Western Canada, at the Ryan
yesterday. 1--WE in Winnipeg enjoy a
similar distinction in Canada, and you
bet we are as proud of it as are the
people of this city. In round numbers
1 understand that $6,000000 was spent in
new buildings in St. Paul last year, in
Winnipeg 100000 was the sum report
ed by the building inspector and as this
city is three times as large as Winnipeg
the proportion is about the same.
IT have always liked St. Paul." con-
tinued Mr.. Kelly, and think the cit
liens of this place do not properly appre-
ciate just how well appointed a city
they have 1 have noticed from time to
time many kicks concerning the paying
of the streets, but if those who are dis
satisfied take the trouble to visit East
ern cities of the size of ST. Paul they
would see that there is very little real
ground for complaint. I have done a
considerable portion of the paving in Win
nipeg, and from time to time had occa-
sion to visit many of the largest cities
in the East, and I can count on my
fingers those that are better paved, on
the whole, than st. Paul.
Referring to his native Manitoba. Mr.
Kelly said: THE farmers have already
disposed of one crop, and the elevators
all over the Northwest are choked to the
limit of their capacity. There is another
average crop left on their hands and
they are kicking because the railroads
cannot handle the largest and most I'M
precedented crop on record as quickly as
they would one of average size. AS a
matter of fact there has been little fall
blowing done in the province, as the
workers have been kept busy right up to
the end of the year in threshing their
yields. The farmers, in consequences
have no more money than usual, but
their credit is good, and they are faring
as well as they could reasonably expect
They have been paid for one crop, and
are now buying new implements on the
strength OF the wheat they have stored
in their granaries''
! Mr.. Kelly is the contractor for the i'm
| provement of the ST. Andrews rapids of
| the Red river, twenty three miles below
! winnipeg, an undertaking that involves
| the expenditure of a million dollars. and
the immediate object Of his visit to St.
Paul is the purchase of some heavy
1 machinery which will be required as
soon as work is resumed in the spring
The completion of the improvements viii
mean an uninterrupted waterway to
Lake Winnipeg, and will be of inestima-
bic advantage in developing some vast
tracts of mineral land that are situated
along the north shore of that body of
4 water. Mr.. Kelly says there have been
some deposits of iron ore found which
await only the facilities for economical
shipment to become very valuable.

OPEN TO THE WORLD
CLAUssEN SAYS PAVING sPECIFIcA-
TIONS ARE BROADLY DRAWN.

There is no truth in the statement, says
City Engineer Claussen, that the specill-
cations for street paving, in which as
phalt is the material named, are so word
ed that particular kind of mixture of
material must be used.
They are drawn, says Mr.. Claussen, on
the broadest lines possible, and to the end
of allowing the greatest competition pcs
sible. OF course the asphalt must be OF
a certain density and stand certain tests,
but any good paving material, he holds,
Should meet the standard established.
In the South a company which owns
vast quarries of what is known as rock
asphalt has been formed to fight those
in control of the Trinidad product, and
1T is expected that the new company or
its agents will shortly make an appear
ance in ST. Paul The asphalt thus quar-
ried and later refined is said to be 2s good
as the lake product. In the old world it
is used extensively.
The specifications now in use, Mr..
Claussen says, permits the use of this
material provided it stands the tests re-
quired. None of it is in use in st. Paul
at present.
