NORMAL AND TRAINING SCHOOLS.

Miss Estelle Adams gave an excellent
resume Of the events of the preceding year
Tuesday morning. Miss Adams selected
those incidents in tho world Of politics. re-
ligion, labor and education which would
be of most interest to the students Of the
normal school.
phe entire senior class made an excursion
under the direction OF Miss Agnes v.
Luther to three exhibitions in New York
Wednesday. These were the Metcalf
paintings IN exhibition at Montross gal
lery showing wonderful snow effects, win
ter and spring landscapes, etc, portraits
ct the Knoedler gallery and an exhibition
of contemporary art at the National Arts
Club. This latter was upon the invitl-
lion of a member OF the club. which was
secured by Miss Luther for the students
OF the Normal School. This is the ess-
hihltion which has been creating such a
furore in New York. It YVES designed to
show how far modern ideals of art diffcr
from the generally accepted notion OF years
past. Whistler made q similar exhibition
in London years ago which raised n storm
OF protest and was the means OF the estab-
lishment of a national society.

LIENS ON GOLD RIDGE
Manager Says the Claims Are Not
Valid Charges.


Valid Charges.
r. 8. Pollard and wife, J. r. Nc
Donald and William Clark nave fled
labor liens aggregating in all SI276
against the Gold Ridge Mining COM
pany. corporation, with head Of
fees in this city.
The work for which the liens have
been filed is claimed to have been
done during the fall and winter on
the properties of the mining COM
pany near st. Joe. Pollard, during
this time, claims to have been work
ing in the capacity of a foreman un-
der and for the Gold Ridge company.
Dan Davis, manager of the COM
pany, however, tells an entirely diff
ferent story, and says that the com
pany does not owe the above debt
for labor, and never contracted In
any manner for the work.
When seen this morning by a rep
resentative of the Press Mr.. Davis
said: You can say in behalf of the
company that we are not indebted
to the parties for the labor they have
performed on the property and for
which they have filed liens. The
company ceased operations upon the
property some time back because of
hard times then existing. and also
because we found the work could
not be done at the time at an adj
vantage and profit. Several of the
stockholders, whose names | do not
care now to mention, undertook to
do this work, for which the liens
have been filed, upon their own re-
sponsibility. 1t was understood be-
tween the company and them, and
also the foreman, who had the work
in charge. that they were to indiv-
idually pay for the labor performed,
and that under no circumstances
were any of them to look to the cor
poration for payment for the work.
This was a perfectly clear under
standing between all parties con-
cerned, and at one time, when Gold
Ridge time checks were being issued
for work done and supplies pur-
chased, l personally called halt in
the matter and again informed them
the company was not back of the de-
velopment work being done. AS near
as | am able to ascertain. these In
dividuals have gone forward with
the work and failed to pay for the
labor. and the laborers are now filing
liens against the company with the
view of recovering from it. have
employed counsel in the matter and
am informed that under the condi-
tions which the work was done they
can not recover against the company,
but must look to the individuals who
contracted with them for the work.
This is the eompany's defense in the
matter, and we intend to interpose
It, and believe successfully so. II the |
matter ever comes to trial in the
