WOULD LOCATE LAND
OFFICE AT BEMIDJI
Congressman Stevenson Is Pulling
Wires to Effect a Change.

Congressman Halvor STEVENSON and
L. II. Bailey, Of Bemidji, are now at
Washington engaged in a determined
effort to change the location of the new
land Office in the Cass Lake country
from Cass Lake to Benidji. President
Roosevelt, it is understood, has been
impressed by their representation of
the situation and has applied to the land
commissioner for detailed information.
The argument presented in favor of
Bemidji is that it is far more favor
ably located than Cass Lake as to rail-
road facilities, being situated on what
may be termed main lines and having
one more line of road than Cass Lake.
The geographical location of Bemidji
also is said to be more favorable to the
settlement Of that district, as nine
tenths of the land is north of the
Great Northern line and much more
readily accessible from Bemidji than
Cass Lake.

LACK KNOWLEDGE

PROPER ENGLISH
Two Thirds of Applicants for
Licenses to Teach i'm Public
Schools Betray Deficiency in
These Subjects.

Only about one-third1 and perhaps
even a smaller proportion. of the can
didates for teachers positions in the
public schools, who recently took the
examinations have succeeded, and the
remainder have failed of securing even
admission to the eligible list. Some of
those who have been accepted as ell
gible are conditioned and must make
up deficiencies before they can re-
ceiVe appointment.
The report of the committee on eX-
aminmations has not yet been COM
pleted, and detailed information as to
the results of the examinations will
not be available until the report is
presented to the board of education
at it's meeting of Wednesday after
noon, but in general the facts are as
stated above
Discussing these examinations with
T Clio b e yesterday. Supt. Smith
said:
"One would naturally suppose that
the failure would most frequently oC-
eur in music and drawing, but such is
not the case. The majority of these
candidates have failed in arithmetic
and grammar. You see, most of them
come from the country districts and
nave taught in the country schools,
and having made up their minds to
take examinations for positions in the
city schools they have prepared them
selves in such branches as music,
drawing, physiology and botany, but
being conscious that one time they
We're proficient in such branches as
arithmetic and grammar, they assume
that they still have sufficient knowl-
edge of those branches to pull them
through, and therefore neglect them
altogether in their work of prepara-
ton That is just where they fall
down"
There were sixty candidates who
took the full examinations for posi-
lions in the grade schools, and of those
but twenty succeeded. and not all Of
those attained the required average
IN every study. Those who fell but lit
tie short of the requisite standard have
been given an opportunity to make up
their deficiencies.
There were also seven candidates
examined in studies in which they had
failed at previous examination, and
two candidates for principals posi-
lions, and one for high school posi-
ton. With but two exceptions these
were successful.

TWILL COST MORE
THAN DOLLAR A FOOT
TO GRAVEL SUMMIT
I'D
City Engineer furnishes Esti-
mate of Desired Improvement
of St. PauISs Principal Resi-
dence Theroughfare.


Summit avenue property owners,
from Dale street to the Mississippi
river. who were figuring on the gravel
ing of that thoroughfare at a cost to
themselves of about SO cents running
foot, find their confidence misplaced.
City Engineer Rundlett places the
cost of the cheapest kind of gravel
surface at $1.06 a front foot, or 1872
600 for the entire job, and for a good
macadam pavement at 1888 per run
ming foot, or 100000 for the entire
job.
The estimate, together with some
brief information concerning the pro-
posed Improvement. was furnished the
board of public works by City En-
gineer Rundlett yesterday, and result
ed in an order for an abstract, together
with instructions to the clerk of the
board to call in the property owners
when the abstract is ready.
Briefly, Mr.. Rundlett says an accu-
rate estimate on the Improvement. as
far as gravelingy is concerned, is i'm
possible. owing to the absence of any
near or available supply of gravel
Nearly $4,000 cubic yards of material
will be needed, and this Mr.. Rundlett
says cannot be obtained near st. Paul
except at heavy cost for hauling.
The Milwaukee and Omaha roads.
which cross the avenue, say they have
no supply of gravel that would furnish
the required amount of material.
Again. as far as graveling the entire
street is concerned, the city council
has no jurisdiction beyond Cretin
street. as that section is controlled by
the park board.s In consequence, the
city engineers Eestimate is given only
on the improving of the street from
Dale. the end of the present asphalt,
to Cretin street
While the Board of public works
says it will cali in the property own
ers and ascertain their views, it is not
over enthusiastic in the matter.
If the owners y want gravel. they
will get it," SAID Commissioner Muir
ply yesterday, but I am afraid they
will never stand for it on the figures
given. Why, asphalt is cheaper
Macadam is atgood pavement when
put down right, but it does not amount
to much the Wayzit is cared for in ST.
Paul. 1t is put down one year and let
go for the next five, until the holes and
ruts make its repair absolutely neces-
sary. Then the street is almost ready
for a new pavement"

SAYS THAT BRAKES
WERE OUT OR ORDER
Switchnaan Sues the Great Western
for $4,000 for Personal Injury.

Judge Lochren, in the federal cir
cult court, yesterday took up the trial
of the personal injury damage suit
brought by De Ebert Warren against
the Chicago Great Western Railway
company.
Warren was in charge of switching
crew in the yards at Red Wing in
February 1902, when his right leg was
cut off. He was riding on the pilot of
the engine, and in getting off, while the
engine was in motion, slipped and was
dragged for some distance. He alleges
that he signalled the engineer to stop,
and that the air brakes which were
applied, failed to work, with the re-
suit that his foot was caught tn a
safety rail and his leg crushed be-
tween the knee and ankle.
He contends that the air brakes were
defective and sues for $4,000.

PROPERTY OWNERS FIND
FAULT WITH PAVING
They criticlse That Laid on a Portion of
West Seventh Street.

A number Of property owners alont
West Seventh street have fled a protest
against some oflthe paving recently laid.
on that thoroughfare.rf .ts' s6@.=e:s
They say thatSin places on the north
side of the street the car tracks are sew
eral inches below the surface of the paw
ing laid last year. 1t is not. only unsightIy,
but dangerous. and they want an investi-
cation to see who it at fault.
One side of the street was paved last
year and the other side is now receiving
its surface of sandstone blocks. The re-
laying of the tracks was done this year
and it is claimed that an arbitrary level
was made by the street ear company
City Engineer Rundlett has caused an
investigation to be made and whoever
is at fault will have to rectify the mis-
take. The investigation is being made
at the instance of Aid. Rohland, of the
Fifth ward.

TRAINED ANIMALS
Do CLEVER STUNTS
Crowds of Delighted Children
and Adults Witness Gentry
Brothers Show.

Gentry Bros trained animal show
opened its present St. Paul engage
ment last evening to what, in a thea
ter, would be called a crowded house
and when the performance began soon
after s o'clock there were but few va
cant seats of any kind in the big tent
which has been erected at the corner
of Selby avenue and Victoria street.
The gathering, which was not by any
means composed entirely of children,
found great entertainment in the per-
Torrance of the pony, dog, monkey and
elephant actors.
The programme Of this season opens
with an ensemble tableaux, in which
the beautiful ponies Of the troupe are
seen to great advantage, for not only
are they picturesquely grouped, but in
the maneuvers by which they achieve
the climax they exhibit great sagacity,
the result of careful training.
Then follows a most interesting Sc
ries of feats performed by the ponies,
dogs, monkeys and elephants in the
course Of which some of the animals
so closely simulate human intelligence
as to startle the spectators. The po-
MES show particular proficiency in
ments, and the dogs perform all sorts
Of feats, including high jumping, in
which several of the hounds show some
very creditable work.
At the close of the regular enter
tainment a monkey fire department,
thoroughly equipped, turns out in q
very realistic manner to eXtinguish a
real fire in a miniature house, with
real water pumped by an able-bodied
elephant
The afterpiece is an amusing enter
tainment by monkey actors entitled
Fun in a Barber Shop" and it fully
justif1es the name.
Four more performances will be CIV
en-a matinee and evening perform
ance today, and two exhibitions at the
same hours tomorrow.

An interesting case on trial before
Judge Brill in the district court is the
suit brought by Anna Struck against
