SCHOOL HAPPENINGS.

There will be a vacation In two
weeks. The school children are all
looking forward to it with the ex
pcctation of making the most OF
their week off.
In some of the rooms the pupils
who had not been late for the past
two weeks were let out half an hour
earlier on last Friday afternoon, In
the rest of the rooms the pupils will
be allowed to leave school at recess
in two weeks, when the vacation
begins.
The town seems to have been I'M
dergoing an epidemic of the measles.
taking into consideration tine effect
produced on the attendance in the
school, for during the latter part o
the week the attendance was scarce
lv one-third of the usual number.
The small attendance was probably
due to the fact that ia the families
in which there was measles, all the
children were compelled to leave
school. This restriction, however,
will be taken off Monday. Mar. Is,
and it will be necessary for only
those who are actually broken out to
stay away.
A literary program is to be given
next Friday in the high school. Lit
will probably be quite good, judg
ing from the last program and the
fact that they seem to be getting
better constantly.

WHOLE ISLAND SNOWBoUND
Newfoundland Cannot Even Esti-
innate when Trains VIII
Reach Destinations.

ST. JOHNS, N. F., Feb. 2S.-The trains
which we're snowbound in the interior
having secured relief, are now moving
backwards to their starting points. 1t
was impossible for the trains to attempt
to cut their way through the snowdrifts
across the summit OF the island.
Another blizzard ragged last night, add
ing to the snow drifts. An eastern train
with forty-three passengers reached Nor
ris Arm this afternoon. and is now on its
way to this city, but it is unknown when
II will arrive, owing to a rain storm and
subsequent frost coating the tracks with
ice. A train which left st. Johns this
morning was unable to proceed half a mile
from the station owing to the ice, and
had to return this afternoon.
The western snowbound express is slowly
retreating toward Bay of Islands with
fifty-hve persons aboard. 1t was deemed
unwise to keep the train near the summit
owing to a possible long delay before that
section of the railroad is clear. The pas
sengers will be housed at Bay Of Islands.
The passengers of the express. which also
carries large American and Canadian in
coming mails. are likely to be detained at
Bay Of Islands for some time.

MAY YET BE MEAT MERGER
Il. e. Robbins OF the Omaha Packing
Company Slated for Chairman
of the Board.

CHICAGO, Feb. 23.-The Post today says;
Plans practically are complete for the merg-
ing OF the interests OF the firms that com
prise the beef trust. Unless something un-
foreseen arises April / viii see the oficial
announcement Of the incorporation Of a Sc
curities holding company which eventually
may control the meat business OF the world.
Unlike the popular idea OF the packers;
merger, however, for the time being Il Is
not to embrace everything in sight, nor is
1t to be capitalized at $500 600, 900, as an
nounced for the United States Packing com
pany. Further, the plans contemplate no
friction with the federal courts because Of
the recent decision Of Judge Grosscup
against the packing house combination.
The nucleus Of the great combination OF
worldwide interests is to be the merger OF
the smaller independent plants bought last
year by the big packers preparatory to the
general merger planned at that time.
The securities to be held by the new
corporation are those ef the G. II. Ham
mond Packing company. the Omaha Pack
ing company, the Anglo American Fowler
companies, the st. Louis Beef company and
the United States Dresser Beef company.
and possibly several Of the outside stock
yards now controlled by Chicago interests.
Chicago will be the headquarters OF the
combination, but as far as the public is
concerned there will be no immediate
change in the operation Of he indiv! lual
plants under the new regime. 1t is planned
to lead the new securities company with
present officials of the individual COM
panies, instead of the hE packers them
selves, or those immediately associated
with them in the big six" companies.
The slate of officials for the securities
company has been preaperd, and is said to
contain the names Of ]. c. Melvin and ].
p. Lyman of the Hammond Packing COM
pany; Frederick Cowan OF the Anglo
American, and e. F. Robbins of the Omaha
Packing, company. Probably he last named
will be chairman of the board of directors.
1t is not known definitely what will be the
capital Of the notwithstanding company,
but it is thought the figures will be in ex-
cess of the purchase price of the companies
to be combined, probably something like
$50, ,OO0, 900.

CANADA HANGS ARBITRATION
demonstrates Against Appointments
Made by United states to
Boundary Commission.

OTTAWA. Ont, Feb. 2S.-The Alaska
boundary commission was discussed at a
meeting OF the cabinet today.
In an interview tonight a cabinet min
lister SAID that while it might not be proper
to say that protest had been made by
Canada against the nomination of Senators
Turner and Lodge to represent the United
States, remonstrance had been made on
the ground that Canada was not being
fairly treated in the matter
When Canada gave way TO arbitration
by tribunal it was with the understanding
that three judges of the United States
supreme court would be appointed to sit
on the case with British and Canadian
judges of repute on the other side.
The United States, he said. has failed to
carry out this clause. Instead, the United
States government has appointed particu-
larly In Senators Lodge and Turner, men
who cannot be called impartial jurists of
repute,' as required by the treaty On
the contrary, they are looked upon as men
who are strongly antagonistic to Canada S
claims. Until an answer is obtained to
this remonstrance Canada will not name its
commissioners.

has opened an Official investigation into
the charges that valuable furs which be-

the presence of all those who had a part
in handling the articles up to the time Of

tate, and NJ. Chanel and Grumwaldt, who
appraised the original garments as being
worth $21, 200. were among those present.
When the box was opened. short cloak
and a mur were disclosed, both OF rather
ordinary appesrance.
M. Chanel said positively that the ar
ticles were not those he had appraised.
M. Grumwaldt was not so positive whether
the articles were the same. Representa-
tives Of two forwarding companies traced
every movement of the pacl.age from the
time 1t was turned over to them.
Messrs. Gowdy and Kelly questioned the
various parties and later Mr.. Gowdy re-
quested the appraisers to submit tomorrow
a written appraisal Of the value of the
articles shown today.
