Charles n. Schwab, eE-president of
u recent Interview at pittsburg declar
ed that the trouble with broken rails
which the railroads of the United
States are having would never be rem
edied until n nickel steel rail costing
three times as much as the Bessemer
rail now in use was adopted, says the
New York Times.
when l was with the Steel corpora
ton several years ago" Mr.. Schwab
said, Il advised that preparations he
made to meet the need which the rail
roads of the country are now expert
encing. AS | remember. it is about i've
or six years since l came 10 the posi-
tive conclusion that a better rail was
going to become an absolute necessity
on account of the increasing speed and
weight of the trains.
Very little was done ut that time or
has been done since by tLc Steel cor
poration or any one else to anticipate
the needs of the railroads except thlt
our works at Bethlehem We're equipped
some two years ago to supply rails of
basic open hearth steel which the rail
road men are now generally agreed IS

BEGIN THE NEW YEAR
Opening OF the Wood County
Training School Tuesday.

The school year for the Wood
County Training School for Teachers
began Tuesday and there were a
goodly numoer of students on hand
to begin work. The faculty has been
busy for several days getting things in
shape, and from now on the work of
preparing another class for the work
of teaching in the country school, will
go steadily on.
The Training School work this year
is begun IN the old quarters
in the Howe School building,
as the new building is not
finished. 1t was hoped in the first
place that this years class could begin
its work in the handsome new
structure on Lincoln street, but sew
eral weeks ago it was known that it
would be impossible to complete the
building in time. Therefore, the old
rooms in the Howe building were
prepared for at least two month S
work.
All of the teachers graduated last
year, are engaged in active work this
year, and the present incoming class
is over the limit allowed by the facil-
tiles at hand. The students who re-
turn for their second years work are
all enthusiastic and the new students
are going at the work with a deter
minatiOn and vim which augurS well
for another years work.

NEW BIG BRICK BLOCK
F. L. Steib and DR.. Frank P0-
mainville to Build on the
Harvie Site.

There has been quite little specu-
lation since the sale of the DR.. Harvie
building on Second street, as to the
probable use to which this site will be
put by its present owners, Frank L.
Steib and DR.. Frank Pomainville.
The location is probably one of the
best locations in Grand Rapids, and
therefor it is not surprising that
people should be anxious to know the
future of the site.
In conversation with f. L. Steib
recently the writer ascertained
that it was the present owners inten-
ton to erect a large three story brick
building on this site, which will pro-
vide excellent store buildings on the
ground floor, and number of suites
of excellent offices on the upper floors.
Mr.. Steib stated that there was a
growing demand in Grand Rapids
occasioned by the wonderful advance
strides made by the city during the
past year-for desirable stores and
offices, and it was his intention, as
well as the intention of DR.. Pomain-
vile to aid in every way possible in
the expansion work, and while they
had not definately decided when they
would begin the work of building, it
was altogether probable that the
start would be made soon.
