Held interest
ing Session

Another very interesting busi-
ness session was held on last Mon
day evening by the Chamber of
Commerce, with the same result as
that Of many previous meetings -
much was accomplished in a gen.
eral business way. And, at this
time, especially, can we fully real
ize the usefulness of such an or
ganization.
Among the important matters
before the house on this occasion
was the establishment of an expert
mental station near Wibaux. The
members were all strongly in favor
Of a station located at this point,
and every effort will be made to Sc
cure same, which matter will be
taken up directly with the State
Experimental Board.
1t is also the desire Of the Cham
ber to fix dates with the State
Farmers Institute for meeting at
Wibaux in the near future, and, if
possible, Prof. Shaw and Prof.
Campbell will be procured to de-
liver lectures on scientific farming.
Watch for further announcement

Another Fire.
trap Consumed

The sounding of TIE fire alarm
on last Friday evening, followed
b. a great rush of firemen, caused
no little excitement on our streets,
when flames broke forth from
large icehouse, in the alley, not far
distant from the fire hall. And,
due to the latter fact, little difficult
ty was experienced in manipulat-
iny lthe fire apparatus for quick
action, as, having large supply
of water in the we'll beside the hall,
it was not necessary to remove the
engine from it's stall. However,
the flames spread rapidly and the
building was soon demolished to
such an extent that all efforts in
that direction were futile, and with
the high wind, it was necessary to
direct the streams on the buildings
in the way Of the sparks.
With the exception Of the one
building old fire trap at that
no damage was done, and the orig
nation of the blaze is unknown.
S. S. Gable was in from the
ranch on business a few days the

The opening of the fall term of the city's public schools. now only three weeks away, already promises all sorts of difficulties in caring for the 700,0OO children who make up New York's school attending army For once, as the end of vacation draws near, Juvenile schools will make it necessary for many thousands young ters to continue their holiday indefi- nitely. For many years the city has been hard put to provide for proper school facilities. although makeshift arrangements in the past have left little opportunity for successful ar gumcnts with the truant officers on the ground that offenders of the tru- ant law could not attend school be- cause of lack of room This year. however, it is already admitted that at least 12,OOO youngsters cannot be instructed in the three "R's" simply because Of lack of space. There will. it is calculated, be 25,00O new pu- pills in the entering classes next month, to say nothing of those who will seek to more advanced instruc- ton. To meet this increase the city. because of lack of funds, has been able tO provide additional accommo- dGtions for only l3.OOO pupils. to say nothing of being unable to meet the requirements of 5000 others who at tend only on the part time system. The board of education has hastened the preparing of plans for new quar- ters in hopes that funds will be forth coming. and at the present time plans for buildings that would afford A. 900 additional sittings could be in- creased to nearly the number under contract d year ago. But in the meantime there is every prospect that enough children to populate good sized town will escape school training without having to play hockey or come into the clutches of the truant officer.

THE WORLDS GREATEST
 MUNICIPAL BUILDING
TWO BLOCKS EXTENDING 13o
 FEET BELOW THE STREET.
IL Will Surpass Anything of Its Kind
 on Earth.

New York, Aug 9.-(Spccial corrc
 spondence of The Rcpublican)-A
 more than ten years or preliminary
 planning. work has just been begun
 here, which, when it is completed in
 1912. will provide this city with the
 greatest municipal building in the
 world, covering two city blocks. af-
 fording office room to more than
 r.. 900 persons and costing $l5.00O, 900.
 It will be the largest and most com
 plctc building ever erected, or likely
 to be erected for the accommodation of administrative and departmental
 officers of a city. In many respects it will also establish new construction records The contract for the foun- dation is the largest ever awarded in this country, not only as regards the estimated cost of S1,500.0 900 but also in the amount of earth to he eXca- Vatcd and of concrete tO be used. Not less than 14O.0OO cubic yards of dirt and rock will have to be remover. 5O.0O0 cubic yards of which will be under water, while the con crete to be used for the mammoth piers on which the building will rest will amount tO at least jO.00O cubic yards. necessitating 7O.OO0 barrels of cement The foundations will eX- tend 13O feet below the street level and % feet below the water level while the height of the building from basement to the top of it's tower will be 6SO feet. There will be twenty five stories in the main building. each with an area of more than an acre, while the total area of office space. inClud- ing the tower. will exceed thirty acres. Thirty-two elevators. the greatest number ever installed in one building, will take the passengers up and down. and a subway station in the basement will give direct access to the City's various underground lines. The light ing of the building will require more than 200 miles of wiring and about 2O0.0 electric light bulbs. Altogether Father Knickerbocker is to have mu- nicipal building entirely in keeping with his municipal expenditures, which are equal to more than one third of the whole expense of the federal government and the largest of their kind in the world.

New York. Aug. 13.-Dun will say: All branches of business affected by the new tariff law are rapidly adjust ing themselves to the amended sche- dules. Reports from all important cities concerning all leading trades are most encouraging. In the iron and steel trade each week serves to bring an increased volume of business and labor is in greater demand.
 Reports of large orders for cotton goods for shipment to the Philip pines confirmed. The leather market is somewhat unsettled on account of lower prices being made by some of the tanners of sole leather while ac- emulation affects the lower grades of side and upper leather.

In spite of the remarkably cool sum mer which this city has enjoyed, there are some 16,OOO of it's inhabitants who are a bit warm under the collar The 16,O0O comprise the local membership of the Young Mems Christian asso- citation, and the reason for their warmth is found in the recent utter ances of the Rev. r. A. Baker who is national superintendent of the anti saloon league, in which it is widely quoted as saying that the Y. M. C. A. is an institution which ought never to have existed. Equally productive of feeling is that portion of MT. Bak- CTS remarks in which he is quoted as saying: "Oftentimes the Y. M. C. A. is not q Christian organization as it should be. Many times it is one of graft and greed in which money from men not Christian is solicited to make it go. l can almost say that the present day associations are not religious and are growing less re- ligious with the years That such criticism can hardly be regarded otherwise than as the result of per
 sonal feeling and is in no way borne out by the records, was pointed out by a local association man when he said: "The association does not eX- ist merely as an institution for pro- fesSinE Christians. One of it's prime purposes, as anyone who knows any thing about it's work is aware. is to bring Christian influences into the lives of men who are professedly not Christians. I am utterly at d loss to account for NIT. Bakers remarks un- less they are due to the fact that we prefer to conduct out work free from the domination of outside inter ests.' officers of the association while they decline specifically to answer MT. Bakers criticisms as is their settled policy. point out that in the religious side of the work since 1900 the number of laymen in re- ligious work committees has increas- ed 2S6 per cent. the amount spent for local religious work 530 per cent, the number of bible classes SIS per cent. their enroIlment 561 per cent. and the total attendance IFS per cent. All of which places the statement that this worldwide association is not relig- ious and is growing less religious in a somewhat peculiar light.

As result of the local financial furry over the appearance of the new pennies bearing the bust of Lin coin, during the first days of which youthful but entcrprising speculators in the Wall street district disposed of the new coins at the rate of two for a nickel, an ingenious grocer brought to light a rather remarkable scheme for trade to his store. While the demand for the new 1909 Lin coin pennies, even at good premium was still at its height, this canny merchant hung in the window of his store d sign reading:

but he thought that the question whether
dirigibles were at present suitable as regu-
lar means Of cumnunication or should be
employed for purposes Of war, must be re-

HOW TO WIN AT POKER

PHOSPHORUS end You
Can't Lose.

It is not often an outsider can get the
better of these worldly wise knights of the
road-conmercial travelers-but there is a
party Of them ct the Planters hotel, st.
Louis. who arc ruefully reflecting upon the
ways OF fate when guided by a mind not
overscrupulous Incidentally. they are all
anxiously awaiting the arrival Of funds, for
which they have telegraphed their firms.
These men meet frequently and all rep
resent Chicago firms. Their lines are such
that they are often compelled to wait over
in the same town for several days and that
is what occurred in Kansas City. They
were all staying at the same hotel, and
when they became acquainted with an in
offensive appearing young guest they fol-
lowed the text Of the bast sellers, and hit
tie thought what an influence he was to
nave upon their lives"
He told them his father was a wealthy
mine owner in the west, and explained that
he wal wearing heavy blue glasses because
Of his weak eyes, which brought him 70
Kansas City for treatment He had plenty
Of money, spent II d little too freely. and
sometimes was a trifle tiresome with refer
ences to his ability to draw on his father
for more.
It was this latter fact that led his new
friends to accept his suggestion that a quiet
little game OF poker in the room Of one OF
the members Of the party would not he
amiss. The affair was quickly arranged,
and. after a few hours play, the young
man announced he had lcst al the money
he had with him. He said he would have
a large sum the next day and would con-
tinue the game that evening.
Promptly on the hour the victim" ap-
reared. wearing the blue glasses, which. he
said. protected his eyes from the brill'ancC
Of the electric light. He proposed that tn,
game be changed from draw to stud p ker
The travelling men saw no reason to OBJ
iect to the change. At first the young mar
lost steadily, but after a few minutes he
began to win, and in the course of an hour
had won back all that he had lost the
nrevious night. In another hour he had
most of his opponents bringing up the re-
serve roll.
As the game progressed, one of tn,
drumme got up TO ring for a bellboy. II,
accident he pressed the button which con
Z troued the lights, and for an instant tn,
room was IN darkness. The lights went OF
again Immediately, but in the moment o
darkness the players noticed a poculia
thing. The backs Of all the cards werr
ma. ked with phosphorus.
After the sights were turned on the younl
man hastily excused himself, taking hi
winnings with him He said he would re
turn IN a few minutes.
