 Wherever the class went accom- panied them, and there were days of surveying, of mapping out preliminary railroads, etc, when we took our lunch cons along, and Waded through streams, wearing rubber boots and short skirts. Generally the professors and men Of the class were most con- siderate, though some of the directors forgot and walked us fourteen miles to examine a glacial rift. We bore him no grudge, however, since his own feet were blistered by the time we arrived honle One time when we climbed three hundred feet of ladder in a copper mine, the professor was aghast when he re- collected that there were women in the party. &
 During the four years course I was fortunate enough to escape accidents. The ladders set upright in the pitch darkness were the only things that daunted my courage. If they had slanted I should not have minded, but they were vertical, end once lost my nerve completely. and the men had to stand on the ledge below and call to me to prove how near they were before could be convinced that was not go- ing to drop into bottomless pit. Miss Clark and I wore bloomers in all underground work, since ladder climbing was not possible in any other garb, and the instructors were afraid skirts might catch going up and down in the cages or on rocks and ledges.

MAY BLOCK SEWER WORK
New York Engineer Claims Royalty
on Concrete Construction.

Patent rights held by New York
engineer may prevent the city from
employing concrete and steel construc-
ton In it's sewer work this season.
The city engineer had planned to
use it in all the big sewers this year.
This construction is favored by many
engineers on account not only of the
strength, but the great economy.
Such sewers can be built at from Is
to 20 per cent less than brick sewers.
The holder Of the patent demands
four per cent of the cost as a royalty.
If this applies on the whole cost Of
construction, his royalties will amount
to a tidy sum as there will be about
$4,000 put into this class of sewers.
City Engineer Rinker insists that
the royalty cannot be enforced as the
patent does not cover any principle
which has not been employed by en-
gineers for years, and he is in favor
of ignoring the claims for royalty and
proceeding with the work. The sewer
committee at it's meeting this morning
, decided to refer the law points in
volved in the matter to the city at
tOrney. ...

MUSIC HALL FUND GROWS
GOOD WORK IN A SINGLE
GLOOMY MORNING BRINGS IN
$4,000 IN INSURANCE.

Thirty thousand dollars in life in
surance on a chilly morning is con-
sidered a fair average for the Nolun-
reer auditorium committee solicitors.
This is the result Of this mornings
work. Five thousand came by mail
on the newspaper blank applications.
One solicitor secured $4,000, another
$4,000, and in this way the total was
made up.
A new combination is being worked
which is successful The solicitors go
in pairs. One Of these is an expert in
business men who are to be ap-
preached. The other is the expert on
insurance. One of the men makes the
opening and the other closes the att
tack.
Several members of the committee
find it very easy to secure attention
from the men they approach, but
business. In such cases an expert in
surance man calls and finds no diff
Guilty in securing the applications.
One Of the most successful men is a
comparative stranger in Minneapolis
who wrote $4,000 the first week and
is maintaining the record.
1--WE are going to have the audito-
rium,' is the slogan. So firmly are
the members Of the committee i'm
pressed with this idea that they are
working with great zeal.
A local contractor who is preparing
to bid on the construction of the audi
forum volunteered to the committee
this week the promise that in case he
was successful in putting in the low
bid. he would guarantee $4,000 insur-
ance in the Northwestern National
Life.
Every string possible is being
! pulled It is expected that all who
get contracts on the building will fee
| inclined to guarantee insurance, thus
making volunteer solicitors Of all in.

w. A. Bryan, curator of the Bishop

making careful study, of the orni-

Mr.. Bryan, who came to Minneap-

unequaled in the world. 1t is so COM
plete as to save him the trouble, time

data needed which, without the aid
OF the collection, he would have been
obliged to do.
The mtaerial secured Mr.. Bryan viii
use in book on birds of the Philip.

valuable archaeological books. In adj

have been on exhibition at the librar,

THE END COMES TO COL. MoNFORT
Well Known Proprietor Of the
Windsor Hotel, st. Paul, Dies
After a Hard Struggle for Life.

Colonel c.. j. Monfort, who has been
lowering between life and death for
the last ten days, died this morning at
the Windsor hotel, ST. Paul. For
many years he had operated the hotel
and he was widely known thru the
northwest, both politically and So
cially.
Charles j. Monfort was born at
Colchester, Delaware county. N. Y,
March Is, 1871. He came to ST. Paul
in the sixties, and, in company with
his brother. the late D. A. Monfort,
went into the grocery business, the
firm being known as Monfort Brorth-
erS.
In November 1850, Mr. Monfort
purchased an interest in the Windsor
hotel. It was then run by Summers
& Ball. who opened the well-known
hosiery in 1878. Mr.. Monfort
firm name was changed to Summers
& Monfort. In February, 1891, Mr..
Summers withdrew and the Windsor
Hotel company was formed, with Mr..
Monfort as president and manager.
Mr. Monfort was prominent in Elk
and Junior Pioneer circles. He was
colonel on the governors staff. He
