mits issued by the bureau of building
inspection during the month of April

issued was $192,194 This is about
double the amount received from build
ing permits during the month of April
1901.
Permits were issued for no buildings
of any very large size or Importance,
and the increase in the total amount
over the amount for the same month
last year lies in the issuance of per-

TOWNS UNREPRESENTED,
Can It Be There Are No Ambitious
Young People in Them-one
Entry Yesterday.

There was one entry yesterday for
The Tribune's Educational Contest,
which begins Monday next. This was:
Arthur Reese, Blakely.
The entries so far have been, fairly
numerous, but there is still lots of
room for ambitious young men and
women. Wide stretches of territory
yet remain unrepresented, and in some
of the largest towns outside of Scran-
ton, where Nrhe Tribune has a good
circulation, the young people do not
seem to realize the great chances Of
fered them for a higher education by
means of Il little pleasant work.
Among the towns which should have
plenty OF ambitious young people
anxious to avail themselves OF any
honorable means to advance them
selves, but which have thus far failed
to have representative on the list,
are Chinchilla. Carks Summit, Dalton,
La Plume, Factoryville, Nicholson,
Hopbottom, New Milford, Hallstead
and Montrose on the west; Dickson
City, Olyphant, Peckville, Jessup,
Winton, Jermyn, Mayfleld, Dundatf,
Uniondale, and Starrucca on the north;
Elmhurst, Moscow, Gouldsboro, Toby
hanna, and Stroudsburg on the east;
Moosic, Av6ca, Minooka, Taylor,
Duryea, Pittston, and Wilkes-Barre on
the south. Each Of these places should
be able to furnish a live representative,
who would be able to stimulate local
pride in his or her ambition and pro-
gress.
Tomorrow the books of subscription
blanks will be mailed to those who
have enrolled as contestants so far.
Every one of them should receive their
equipment in time to start work on
Monday. AS some may receive their
blanks sooner than others, however,
it should be understood that no sub
seriptions will be received until Mon
day.
Those who wish to enter the contest
should send in their names and ad-
dress, Contest Editor, Scranton Tri-
bune, Scranton, Pa The rules and list
of scholarships is printed daily on the
fourth page of The Tribune. Canvass
er's outfit will be sent out to all who
have entered before the contest opens,
so that they may begin on the very
first morning and return some points in
time to be printed on the following day.

A BIG SEASON ASSURED.
Lodore Will Be the Mecca for Ex-
cursionists the Coming Season.

All indications point to Lake Lodore
as the most popular of all excursion re-
sorts for the ast-approaching season,
and to even surpass its immense bus-
ness of last year. The individual ex-
cursionist prefers a lake resort, and the
scenic beauties of Lodore itself, it's far
spreading grove, Incompatible dance
pavilion, its merry-2o-round, the de-
light of the children, it's well-equipped
kitchens, clam oven, refreshment
booths. Spalding ball grounds, naphtha
launches, steamer, large excursion boat
and varied other amusements render it
a summer paradise, and at the same
time the most profit-making resort for
churches and societies. There are some
splendid dates left, for the privilege Of
which please apply to w. l.. Pryor.

Seven Principal Routes.

It is a we'll known fact that the G.
Nj. & ST. p. Ry, system offers great
many different routes between Chica-
go and st. Paul and Minneapolis. It's
main line between those points
Is especially well known as the route
over which runs the famous ''Pioneer
Limited" and the Government East
Mail Train.
There are six or seven other routes
over a number OF which are run
through coaches and sleeping cars,
which are almost as direct as the prin-
cipal main line.
These various routes traverse the
most interesting and attractive sec
tions of Illinois, Wisconsin, Iowa and
Minnesota, including the celebrated
Lake Region" of Wisconsin, and
cross the Wisconsin river at the IA
nous @Dells' where is the moet pic
turesQne scenery in the Northwest.
The main line and several Others
include from 80 TO 300 miles OF ro-
mantle and picturesque scenery along
the Mississippi river. On these vari-
Gus lines are located the most impor-
tant towns and cities in the North
west.
Both one way and special excursion
tickets between Chicago, st. Paul and
Minneapolis are honored via anyone
of these direct lines.
The teachers attending the Nation
al Educational Convention at Mime
apolis will appreciate and take advan-
tage of this fact as they can have
choice of routes going and returning.

RICE MlLLER'S ORGANIZE.

Twenty seven rice mlllerS or
Texas and Louisiana met at Lake
Charles, La, on April 16, and or
ganized the Louisiana and Texas
Rice MilIers and Distributors AS
ISOLATION.
The following resolution were
adopted by the meeting:
|. Resolved, That we recommend
to this meeting the further consId-
Grafton Of the advisablllty of pro
curing insurance for all rice mills
located in Southwest Louisiana and
Southeast Texas with Mutual Mil
lers Fire associations, along the
lines indicated in the highly salts
factory address Of Mr.. Glen
Walker. of Fort Worth, Texas,
aud that he be requested to make
an inspection of the respective mills
and name their rate on each mill at
as early a date as practicable.
9. Resolved, that we recommend
to the several rice mills that each
make application, at as early date
as possible, to s. +. B. Morse for
as many Sunset rice cook books as
they feel able to purchase and dis
tribute. We consider the PROPOSE
ton of Mr.. S. F. B. Morse very
liberal one, and the cook book is
an excellent means of advertising
rice. 1t is strongly recommended
by this committee that all advertis
ing be eliminated from the cook
books.
3. Resolved, That whereas there
is a great discrepancy in rates OF
brokerage, etc, on sales, we re-
commend to this meeting that it
take the necessary steps for the
organization of Millers and Dis
tributers' association for the pur-
pose of establishing and maintain
ing a uniform rate of brokerage,
terms of sale, weights of package,
and such other matters as may
come before 1t.
