Alphabet" Road Work Viii Progress
Between Cream and St Clair.

06IweS0 STcoIO anu ~ StoHs
From Tuesdays Daily. ~ Ns.7s'+'
The line of the alphabet" road has
been laid from Cream to st. Clair and
the route is as near an air line as it is
possible to get it, few if any curves being
made. Most of the right of way between
the points named has been secured and
the work of grading will soon be under
way. North of st. Clair the route Is
not known and no one can tell whether
the new road will touch st. Peter or not
as the desire is to have the line as
straight as possible, and there are sew
eral reasons for this, chief of which Is
the desire to have as few miles as pos
Fsibe and cover the distance. This means
less expense in construction, better time
by trains and reduced cost of mainten-
ance.
Mr.. TObie is, enthusiastic in the work
and says he expects to remain here three
or four years and that would indicate
the prosecution of the work. He has the
line almost complete out of this city and
it will have an advantageous route. just
when the ties and rails will be laid at
this end of the line is not known but
probably not until the grade out of this
city is completed, which means consider
able delay.-Albert Lea Tribune.

Females at Redwing School to Be
Made Into HousekeeperS.

Redwing, June lS.-A new and an i'm
portant departure has been made in con-
nectiOn with the girls department at
the state training school. For a long
| time the board of control and superin.
tendent of the training school have had
in mind the establishment Of cooking
school in the girls department, but have
been seriously handicapped for lack oil
room. The management felt, moreover
that the girls needed instruction not only
in cooking. but in general housekeep-
ing, under as near as possible the condi-
tions that prevail in the ordinary farm
house or the home of the mechanic OIL
laborer, most of the girls going to this
class of homes when paroled.
Many institutions have felt the need
and discussed to some extent the estab-
lishment of home midway between the
institution and the outside, where the in
mates who have demonstrated, by then
conduct and actions, the right spirit
desire to do well. to fit themselves to
assume their place in society, and to
again assume the struggles and response
bility of life, might 90 for time before
their ultimate release.
After giving the matter careful con
sideration, the management of the train
ing school has concluded to give the girls
this chance, and for that purpose has
rented the Colonel Colville property, con
sisting of small nine room house ant
about eighteen acres of land. In this
they purpose to establish a sort of 9
model home, where a small number OF
the girls under the care and direction OF
Il competent matron will live for time
before their release, and will receive sucl
instruction in housekeeping, especially
in cooking, as may be given them un
der as near the conditions that prevail il
the ordinary home as possible. The house
will be furnished plainly, but neatly, ano
will be made as homelike as possible II
will be conducted under the general di
rection of the superintendent and the
matron of the girls department, and ii
is hoped the girls will profit by then
Experience there sufficiently to better
fit them for their homes or positions else
where.
The matter of detail as yet has not
been entirely decided upon, but the gen
eral plan outlined will be pursued. II
is not unlikely that besides the girls
who live there, class of the girls
from the institution itself may go there
daily for instructinon in cooking.
Miss Gertrude Holmes of st. Paul has
been appointed matron FOR this new de
partment.
