NO WEEKLY HOLIDAY
Six Days OF Recitatiens Gontempla-
! ted by New Plan at Uni.
versity. g.: .'.....
The idea Is to Prevent Congestion
~ in the Recitation
Rooms.

The course Of study in the college of
science. literature and the arts at the
university is likely to be reconstructed be-
fore the beginning OF the next school year.
If the proposed plan is put into operation
students in the academic department
will be compelled to register for
Ave subjects. Under the present
system only four subjects are required to
complete the course and four recitations
are held a week in each. Under the new
plan there will be only three reoitations
per. week in each subject but the work
will be distributed over the entire week,
doing away with the customary holiday
on Monday. More science will be intro
duced into the course, requiring extra
hours for laboratory work 10 that week 8
work will be lncreaAed from sixteen
hours to nineteen or twenty hours.
Registrar e. B. Johnson said that the
object of the plan - two-feld;~ to dis
tribute the work over the entire week and
to make more space in the recitation

"The matter OF reom,'' he said, 'is be-
coming a serious one at the university
owing to the rapid inerease In rezittra-
ton, and If the proposed readjustnent Is
made, we will have 80 per cent more
space for recitation purposes" A com
mittee was appointed to investigate the
matter and will report at the next faculty
meeting. If the plan is found to ba
practicable the regents will be asked to
make the change. a.~-ss..-.e -..

Big Game in the Yellowstone Ma
tional Park Shows No
Diminution.
Howard Eaton Counted Nearly
1900 Elk in a Single
Day.

Nearly 2,006 live elks in single day.
In the Yellowstone, Is the count reported
by Howard Eaton of Medora, N. D.. who
was IN Minneapolis yesterday en- route
east. In addition to maintaining the
dairy herds at the Yellowstone park posts
and hotels, Mr.. Eaton does an extensive
business as a wild animal broker and
keeps closely in touch with conditions in
the big game country. He is the man who
falo, and 1t was to place some Of these
animals in the government herd that he
made the trip into the national park early
In January.
Settlers have been coming up into the
Jackson's Hole country south of the park
and Mr.. Eaton says their presence has
somewhat restricted the range Of the big
game. This he thinks is the main factor
In the death Of so many elk lately reported
by telegraph. He thinks the report exag-
gerated, however, for never before had he
seen big game so numerous in that part Of
the country. For four days in the ma
tfonal park Mr.. Eaton was accompanied
by Major Pitcher, the custodian, and by
Lieutenant Cullen of Fort Yellowstone.
They kept ceunt.of the big game along the
trail and here are the memoranda made
from day to day: .~'".-. -.
Jan. 10-Within four miles of Gardner on
trail, 800 elk. 400 antelope, 80 mountain sheep,
mule deer and Virginia deer never out of sight.
Jan. 11.-Eight deer at hagstan on parade
ground; never finched at sunset gum

GOWNS IOCOST MORE
Local Modistes Confirm Chicago Dis
patches Telling Of Increase
in Prices.
The Main Advance Will Be on
Hand Work for Elaborate
Dresses.

Recent Geographic accounts of the
dressmakers' convention in Chicago have
announced that there would be an adj
vance in the price of gowns Of from Is
to 20 per cent, decision having been
reached on the strength of the increase in
all Of the expenses of the business, par
ttcularly in labor and material.
TO ascertain exactly what is before
Minneapolis women "a number of visits
were made to the local lnodistes this
morning. The concensus OF opinion was
that the convention represented the sit
uation fairly, that an advance was a
necessity and would come. 1t will go into
effect at once and will amount to from
10 to Is peri cent. Few of the Mime
apof1s dressmakers are members of the
Chicago association, they are not bound
by any agreement and most of them have
not even consulted with others. In most
instances the advance will not be a. gen.
eral and horizontal one, but the increased
expense will be reckoned in in various
ways and will affect some classes of work
more than others In some shops Ger
tainly, perhaps in most, the constructive
price OF gowns will not be altered and
the cost Of materials cuts a comparative
~ small figure In some Of the most ex-
pensive creations; the difference will be
in the extra hand work, Trimmings were
formerly big item of expense, but these
are now largely eliminated ana instead
hand work is substituted. The idea of
many Sdressmakers is that this is not
being paid for adequately and here is
where the raise is to come. II a woman
wants an deliberately finished gown COW
cred with needlework, that, item is not
to be included in the making, but is to be
a separate item. ~ It.'. .+t.*' T. re-
There was some dissent from the ropin-
lon that raise would be general and
there is a shred of encouragement in that.
It would seem, however, as if the increase
is most certain in the cheaper classes of
work where the Decentralization of prices
was most felt during the hard times and
where it has been corrected most slowly.

A LETTER FROM IlLLMAN

BERRY BOX BILL
Commission Men Not Worried About
It. Though Opposed to- It. ?:

Minneapolis commission men do not ap-
prove the bill by Representative J. A.,
Shepard Of Minneapolis, which fixes q
legal size for all boxes in which straw
berries, raspberries and other small fruit
are to be sold. The bill provides that
small fruits in quantities Of less than half
a, bushel crate, can be sold only in boxes
~ inches square, having a capacity Of
SON cubic inches or in boxes of 90ss cubic
inches, the standard quart and pint.
While the Minneapolis men are opposed
to the bill, they are not showing any
special hostility, as they believe its pro-
visions can easily be evaded. Instead Of
Advertising or selling the fruit in quarts
or 'pints,'' they could sell it in "fulp' or
"half-sized' boxes.
The bill, if stringently enforced, would
necessitate the repacking Of fruit i'm
ported into the state, which would prac-
tically shut off importations, as small
fruits are so injured by repacking as al
most to destroy their usefulness. Even if
repacking were possible the loss on the
fruit would be considerable and would
fall upon the consumer in the form Of
higher prices. -s -. ..s. -

Don't you think that the truth of Your
