TEN MORE DAYS. GRACE
TECHNICAL SCHOOL CANvAssERs
FURTHER ENCOURAGED.
Senator Fairbanks Informs the Com
mittee OF Its Good Luck-A Days
subscriptions.

Another extension of time has been
granted to the canvassers for the technical
school fund. and they will have now an adj
ditionaI ten days in which to complete
the amount necessary to purchase the Ar
senaI grounds from the United States. Al
though the subscriptions have been coming
in rapidly the added time Will be extremely
satisfactory TO the promoters Of the school,
as 1t makes certain, in their opinion. that
the technical school will be a success.
Senator Fairbanks yesterday informed
George W. Brown and Albert Sahm that
ten DAYS additional would be allowed in
which to complete the subscriptions. The
senator did not state from whom he OBJ
tained his information, but his manner in
dicated that there was no doubt that the
ten days additional would be allowed by
Secretary of War Root. While Mr.. Root
was here with President Roosevelt Senator
Fairbanks had a long talk with him about
the Arsenal grounds and the technical
school, and IL is believed that the secretary
OF war assured the senator at that time
that IL another reasonable extension OF
time was asked for IL would be granted.
The senator is Of opinion that the fund
should be rounded up by the end of the ten
friends of the school that the movement
will be successful. and his advice is 10 go
ahead with the same energy that has been
exhibited hitherto. George w. Brown ana
Mr.. Sahm were greatly encouraged by the
optimistic attitude of Senator Fairbanks,
and have gone ahead with their task with
renewed confidence and energy. 1T would
be a calamity" said Mr.. Brown last night

now: cannot believe that the people
