New Fire Apparatus Planned
for Heights When Water
System is Completed.

Work on the Duluth Heights water
system is progressing favorably. Fully
three blocks of pipe have been laid
during the past week. The contract
ors have had more or less hard luck
t, contend with. The weather has
been unsettled, as there has been con-
siderable rain. A large amount Of
rock was encountered at the top of
Orange street, and some troublesome
springs were struck on the lower end
of the street. One spring gushe:l
forth a stream fully as large as the
six-inch pipes that are being laid,
which is evidence that there is plenty
Of water below the Heights.
While blasting rock from the ditch
on Orange street heavy charge was
set off. The foreman evidently missed
his guess in piling debris over the
blast, for when the explosion occurred
rock was shot into the air at a ter
rife rate. The homes Of Leroy Coons
and Anthony Garcia were seriously
damaged. Rocks came through the
roofs of both houses and several win
dows were broken. r. ~ i:
John Robertson has begun work On
the pump house. It will be q pretty

Contractor Roberts is not doing
very much on the wells. The people
of the Heights are very anxious to

sufficient water to supply the system

President of Trinity College Thinks
American Boy Should Learn

NEW HAVEN, Conn, July 1.-THE
American boys right to be taught
trade in school instead of under the
restrictions of a labor union, the men,
bers of which are jealous of his ad-
vancement, was asserted by President
F. S. Luther of Trinity college, Hart
ford, in today's convention of the
American Institute of Instruction.
President Luther said:
To-day there are few apprentices and
such as may still be found are learning
very little The labor unions restrict
the number of apprentices to limits gro
tesquely below obvious needs. The boys
suffer from the jealousy, i'll will and
incompetency of those who are sup
posed to teach them and from the greed
of employers who try to get a mans
work out of them for a boys wages"

NEW YORK, July 1.-THE temper of
the stock market was unrelieved today
in spite of the small increase in the
volume of the days dealings, due to the
selling of the final hour The profess
sional element attempted to start an
upward movement of prices. The at
yesterday that pressure was off the
market and on the assumption that a
considerable uncovered short interest
must exist which could be made to sub
serve purpose to advance prices by
driving them to cover.
The various rumorS which were ad-
vanced to help on the upward move
ment showed no novelty in conception
having served this purpose many times
already. The revival of the subject of
the Great Northern ore lands deal was
effected by a cabled rumor from Lon
don, quoting an anonymous director of
the United States Steel corporation as
positively asserting that the project
has been completed. ST. Paul moved
nection with the supposed plans for
financing the company's Pacific coast
extension. The roads showing of a
decrease of net earnings for May did
not hold 1t back, as the free outlay in
operating expenses which brought
about the law was believed to be con-
hected with Immediate outlays on the
extension, which might thus defer the
necessity of Offering securities In the
present unpropitious conditions
The addition of Reading about COM
any effect from the abortive efforts to
lift prices. The advances were indif
ferently held for time and then gave
way with reversal of the market posi-
ton of the professional element when
it saw the futiity of the attempt to lift
prices. The easier conditions in the
money market. normal to the early
part of July were maintained, but no
confidence was felt in their permanency.
The statement of the subtreasury
operations showed an absorption from
the banks for the day of s2,S9S. 900,
principally due to the return of govern
ment deposits. The loss of the banks
to the government since the last bank
statement amounts to $4,296.000.
A deposit at the subtreasury for
transfer to San Francisco was a re-
minder that the meeting. of insurance
losses there continues to be an element
In the money market. The final hour s
transactions proved the largest of the
day and the closing was weak at sub
stantial net declines.
