SCHOOLS CLOSE TODAY.
Rate of Promotion in the Local
Schools Was High-A Most
SussCSsful Session for 90

This afternoon the 1905-'06 term
of work of the Grand Junction city
schools will be concluded.
Naturally during the past two or
three DAYS there has been but little
work going on in several of the de
partments as tests, study work. etc,
was closed up in most of the rooms by
Tuesday or Wednesday.
The rate of promotion in the var
ious grades this year has been even
greater than usual which shows that
excellent work has been accomplished
by the pupils.
The term of school just ending has
been one of the most successful in
the history of the schools, the work
/ done in each and every department
has been very satisfactory to the
board of directors, the teachers and
/ the pupils. In some departments
/ better work has been done than ever
before. The average attendance dur
/ ing the session that is closing has
been the largest ever recorded and
| the total registration of pupils at the
beginning of the term broke all rec
ords.
The fact that every teacher who
nut In an application was reelected by
n unanimous vote of the board OF
school directors speaks highly Of
their work. All the teachers but one
applied for recollection and will serve
again next year.
The school census recently taken
indicates that the attendance next
wear will be much heavier than ever
before. The number of school child
rem In the district increases rapidly
from year to year. As announced in
the Sentinel two weeks ago the school
board already realizes that additional
room will be needed next year for
some Of the grades and the trustees
of the Congregational church have
been asked to consider the matter OF
building another addition to the old
church property on Rood avenue
which has been converted into a
school building.
The average attendance at the
schools during the term has not raj
Ian far short of fourteen hundred.
OF course the pupils are happy IN
anticipation of the long summer vaca-
I lion still there is always feeling OF
rerret with the teachers and pupils
when the time comes for the separa-
zion of the school room family.

lions do not apply to vessels that ply
the high seas. Three marine leagues
from shore mark the limit of our ju-
risdiction."
Are the effects of this trouble aI
Jacksonville far reaching?" was
asked.
"The effect is being felt over the
whole State. Shipments of merchan-
disc from Jacksonville are being
made, of course, but are not delivered
with anything like the celebrity they
should be. Aside from the bad state
of affairs existing in the yards at
Jacksonville there Is general COM
plant OF delays all along the road.
Both rolling stock and crews seem 10
be utterly inadequate to properly han.
die the business. The engines are
taxed with freight trains entirely too
heavy and cars are dropped at the
different stations, to be picked up by
some lighter train at some future
time. Crews are kept at work for
most unreasonable lengths Of time as
evidenced by the fact that the engl-
neer in charge of the train that was
recently wrecked near Lake City
had been on duty for thirty-six hours
Jacksonville Is not the only place
complained Of, however. Many COM
plants have come from points con-
tiguous to Tampa that shipments
from that city are now six or eight
times as long in transit as they should
be-"
rs there any possibility that there
will be a decrease In demand for cars
that would enable the railroads to
catch up with the present situation?
That is, is there any season In rail-
road work."
"The next two months should ordi-
narily be the quietest in the railroad
business. The melon shipments are

"Now Is the time for the railroads
to act II any relief 10 to be afforded
the State. For the next sixty days
demands will, In the ordinary course
Of affairs, be less than at any other
period OF the year and II tho situation
Is to be cleared up: NOW Is THE
TIME TO DO"
So said Commissioner Burr to a
representative Of THE SUN when
asked about the prospect for relief
from the congested conditions at
Jacksonville.
"The conditions at Jacksonville
have caused trouble all over the
State" continued Mr.. Burr, with the
mill men as chief sufferers. There
have been complaints about a lack ol
cars for melons, the shipments of
which are very heavy, land CON-
plants about delays in the receipt Of
shipments Of gasoline, as well as de-
lays In the arrival Of other commodt
ties shipped from Jacksonville. But
the greatest sufferers have been the
mill men.
Some complaint has Deem
made about the Clyde Line
being responsible for a great
deal Of the congestion at Jack
sonville, and I found that out of
35,00O,000 feet of lumber on the docks,
the Clyde Line had 100000 feet,
which is fair proportion. The agent
of that line says that three of their
vessels were taken off this summer
and only one placed back on the line
for the reason that In summer time
they have to come down from New
York light and go back loaded with
lumber and this does not pay sufti.

two ships on the line, consequently
the lumber is piled up at Jackson

Relief Must Come at Once

Otter Creek Lumber Co. has preferred
formal charges against the Seaboard
Air Line Ry. for failure to furnish
them with fiat cars for the shipment
OF lumber from their mills at Otter
Creek to Fernandina and Jackson
Vile, principally Fernandina. They
have had schooner In that port on
demurrage for some time, waiting for
lumber to be shipped from the mill
to complete her cargo. Cars havo
Deen ordered daily, but very few OF
these orders have been filled. The
mill has been closed down from timc
to time for the last six or eight weeks
because their skids and yards wers
stocked with lumber that they could
not get cars to move away This
mill has a capacity OF about $4,000
feet per day. II has It's own engine

train can get them without the do

The Engineer Went Mad

On the anniversary of the night
when his train ran over and killed his
wife and child, Giocomo Palozzo, loco
motive engineer of the Milan.Rome
express, went mad and, uncoupling
his engine, tried to run 1t into the
passenger train ahead. The fireman
fought hard to avoid the impending
catastrophe, but was temporarily
Overpowered. Just In the nick OF
time the fireman recovered from the
blow and, watching his opportunity,
threw the engineer off the locomotive,
when the latter was only thousand
yards from the passenger train.
Realizing that he could not stop the
engine and seeing that the boiler was
at the bursting point, he crowded on
more steam, locked all the valves and
caused the locomotive to explode.
Gaetano Turbini, humble fireman
on locomotive No. 1906 of the Milan
Rome Express, had this thrilling ex-
perience with his engineer, suddenly
gone mad, and only by sacrificing his
own life, and that of the mailman, be-
sides wrecking his engine, he sue

Tragedy of the Desert.

The elephant sat in the lemon tree,
A-swaying to and fro;
And beautiful warbling song sang he
To the whale on the branch below
Though a cold wind blew from the dis
tant sea,
And the desert was deep in snow.
And this is the song that the elephant
sung,
To the tenderly dreaming whale;
(For the month was May and the two
were young,
And she loved his trunk as it swayed and
swung
In the icy tropical gale
"Oh, come, my love, let us fly away
To warmer cline than this,
On the palm-lined beaches of Bafin's
Bay
Let us live in a lifelong bliss,
With no one to list to the words we say,
And no one to watch US kiss ="
But the whale was shy and she dropped
her eye,
And she blushed a beautiful green;
And the elephant hoped from his perch
on high
To the side of his bosom's queen;
And she heaved a sigh as he futtered nigh,
Like 80 h. p. machine.

Greatest Railroad Project Of Century
Halifax and st. John, and running
across the continent through the heart
Of the mineral, forest and wheat coun-
try Of Canada, a great new railroad
system is being surveyed, is in part al
ready building, with It's Pacific termi-
nus at Port Simpson. The new system
is the Grand Trunk Pacific, with a
main line $500 miles in length-easily
the greatest railroad enterprise Of the
twentieth century," says Richard A.
Haste, In Technical World Magazine.
One of the main Enthusiastically
surveyed-runs northwest from Halle
ton In the Rocky Mountains to the city
of Dawson, Of Klondike fame, in the
Yukon. And Of this line President
Charles NJ. Hays of the Grand Trunk
Pacific says:
Speaking of the proposition made
by a syndicate of Russian and Ameri-
can capitalists to tunnel Bering Strait
for the use of an inter-continental liue
through Alaska and upper Siberia, our
Dawson branch will form the neceS-
sary connecting link"
Doubtless, before the middle Of the
century Is reached, it will be possible
to travel by rail, without change, from
New York to Berlin or any other of the
capitals of continental Europe. But
long before then the Grand Trunk Pa
cific will do it's work of opening up the
old land Of Prince Rupert to civiliza-
ton and prosperity.

PRESIDENT Insisted on His CoachNnan
Glowing Along"
The recent episode at the Belasco
theater here, when the President s
coachman had a difficulty with the
manager because he would not move his
carriage, although nobody was in the
carriage and it was waiting for some
White House guests, reminded an old
police sergeant of time when he was
stationed at the Baltimore and Ohio
station here.
Among his other duties he had to
keep carriages from standing at the
curb directly in front of the station
entrance, it being necessary to keep
that place clear for carriages that were
coming and going at that point. Presi-
dent Grant drove to the station to meet
one of the incoming trains. While the
officer was in another place the car
rage stopped in front of the station.
When the officer returned he noticed
the Presidents rig standing there and
waited for it to move along. When It
did not move and no one aIighted tho
officer supposed that the President had
gone into the station.
'You know as well as I do that you
cannot stand there" said the officer to
the Presidents coachman.
do you know whose carriage this
is?" was the only answer of the man
on the box.
'"rhat makes no difference. Yon
must move" But there was no move
on the part of the coachman to stir
from the place.
