The report of Colonel Crowder. who

and mules to South Africa from the

fore the cabinet today by the Presi-

it developed that the conclusion was
reached by the President from what
he had seen OF it, that there was not
sufficient evidence to show past or

consequently there is no warrant for

The city council have appointed city
engineer Davis a committe of one,
TO go with committee OF the board
OF education, on tour Of inspection
Of exhaust steam heating plants, with
a view TO the installation of one in

1t Is proposed to make such an in
spection during this winter, when the
plants are being tried by the cold
weather, and by having all the plans
ready, be in a position TO make the
necessary changes during the vacation
period OF next summer.
Plants Of this kind are now In oper-
alton in Owatonna and A lbert Lea
in Minnesota, and Eagle Grove and
Des Moines in Iowa. These towns,
aud Others, will be visited and the
methods and plans utilized in the
work in this city.
1t was hoped that some change
could be made here this winter, but
such thing is not possible. This
action by the city and school authori-
ties in getting everything ready before
hand is TO be commended, and a visit
to plants OF this nature while in opera
tion will give them an opportunity to
observe the workings and show bott
the weak and strong points Those
| to be avoided and those to be improved
or adopted.
While making this tour Of inspec
tion the officials will no doubt keel
in mind the possibilities OF heatins
the business portion by the sam,
means. BY doing this they will be il
aposition toconsider with intelligens,
and knowledge this proposition tina
has been mentioned often before.
The time Of the trip of the commit
tee will greatly depend on tn,
convenience OF Mr.. Davis, as hi
present work at the power AM
light plant requires his attention an'
presence.
