ATTENDANCE INCREASES.
The Public Schools Of the State are
Opening With Larger Attendance
Than Usual.

Supt. Reagan, of Buncombe county,
writes to the State superintendent,
enclosing a number of weekly reports
from public school teachers, and says
that the enrolment in the schools Of
that county, all of which but three
have opened, is at least Is per cent.
larger thant at this time last year He
also writes that punctuality and reg
ularity of attendance have been great
ly improved. and that these have been
stimulated by a neat certificate of re-
ward like the following:
This certifieS that ------, OF
school district No. -, Buncombe coun-
ty is awarded this certificates for be-
ing

ing -. 30
Signed by teacher and county super
intendent. This is worthy of the con-
sderation of other county superin-
tendents in their efforts to improve
regularity and punctuality of attend
ance.
County Superintendent Boyer, of Ca
barrus, writes that since the consolida-
ton of the Harrisburg district the
voting of a local tax 20 cents on the
hundred dollars, so cents on the pFl
and the erection of nice school house
in the district, teacher mas been en-
ployed at a salary of $50 "a month,
the money for rural library has been
raised and the enrolment and attend
ance has been SO greatly increased
that the building of a wing to the
school house is absolutely necessary.
There are already II children in
daily attendance. Better teachers
better houses and better equipment
will inspire more confidence and at
tract more patronage every time. So
il goes in the State.

BIG, NEW HOTEL
FOR SEVENTH ST.
CENTRAL MARKET COMPANY HAS
PLANS ALREADY DRAWN.
The Idea Is to Furnish a Place Where
Market Gardeners Can Rendezvous
While in the City-Site Is Bought,
but Details Have Not Yet Been Per
fected.

Plans for new hotel to face the Cen
trail market, on Seventh street, between
Second and Third avenues N, were sub
mitted to Louis r. Gorham OF the T. B.
Walker company today. Mr.. Gorham
says that the plans are still incomplete
and that no estimates of the cost have
the Minneapois Central Market com.
pany, by which the hotel will be erect
ed, will not announce whether the pres.
ent plans will be followed.
The hotel is intended as farmers
hostelry and will be used generally by
those connected with the market. The
plans call for a building modern in
every respect. The hotel will occupy
floor being leased For stores. The
front will be four stories and the rear
three stories. It will have 40 rooms.
The feature of the arrangements for
the convenience Of the market garden.
ers will be a large open court, where
teams can be placed instead Of tying
them on the street.
The need of such hotel has been
felt on the Crow for some time.
Outside Of the farmers who would use
the ACCOMMODATIONS when they come
to the city for an occasional days bust
ness, the market gardeners who have
their places in the market want such a
hotel, s.. D..
There are about three hundred buck
sters with regular stalls along the mar
ket, and fully half as many have nc
regular business place. It is thought
that these would soon tax the capacity
of the hotel. .-rs .... ! :,

One can travel hundreds of miles and

RE. Along the streams and along the
eastern border trees are growing.
The country, ais a whole, has a slight
fall to the north and west. The land
on the Minnesota side Of the Red river
is divided into, three drainage areas.
The portion along the Red river and
the valley are well drained. The strip
lying between these two sections is
more flat and was poorly. drained until
the state and the counties opened up
the old watercourses and kept the wa
ter in distinct channels flowing
across this section. This has reclaimed
vast areas that otherwise would have
been worthless. It has made swamp
lands into some. of the most fertile and
valuable land in the northwest. For
tunately the land can all be drained
and the work is we'll under way now.
Draining the Red River valley is no
longer an experiment. Most of the
land is well drained now, and it is only
a question of a short time when all the
land will have channels to carry away
all surplus water rapidly.
The surface soil is an alluvial de-
post. The subsoil is clay. In some
places, some sand is found in the sur
face soil. The surface soil is very fer
tile and is capable of producing large
number Of crops without being fertil-
lied, if properly cultivated. It's ability
to hold moisture is also very great. BY
SO cultivating the soil that a dust mulch
is left on the surface, good crops are
produced even in dry seasons. Being
very level and free from stones, the
land can be worked very economically.

larger fields can be laid out than where
