MoRRIsvLLEs EXPECTANCY.

With the requirement of one OF Hard
wick's granite firms, Morrisville expects
to receive considerable of boom in
business and population, together with
some real estate activity. One of the
newspapers takes the occasion to warn
tenement owners not to jack up their
prices in anticipation of the incoming
of granite cutters, which is very time
", as Morrisville will find itself over
built in short time if property owners
become too hoggish; there will be a
rush to build because of the expecta-
tion that rents will remain high and,
In consequence, many tenements will
have to remain idle, since the incom-
Ing of a single granite concern is not
calculated to stir up very large de-
mand for tenements. Present owners of
tenement property viii, therefore, II
they are wise, maintain much the same
charges for rentals that they have kept
under the normal growth of the village.
Moreover, If the granite business at Nor

COMMERCIAL HIGH SCHOOL GRAD
YATES,

The lengthening of the commercial
course of Spaulding high school to four
years, so that it will conform with the
other courses OF the school, will sure
" strengthen that part OF the work, and
the efficiency of the business graduates
will be appreciably increased since it
will give them more time in which to
perfect themselves in the details of Office
work, as well as the groundwork of edu-
cation. The change, which takes effect
at the opening OF the next school year,
is in line with the efforts to raise the
standard of Spaulding high school in all
departments, bringing them on level
with the character of work which has
been maintained in the long established
courses. The new arrangement will en-
able all scholars entering the high
school to continue a general course for
the first two years and then speeialiaze
during the last two years in the com
mercial department The two years
groundwork in the general courses will
be particularly valuable because Of the
better grasp Of English branches which
will be afforded those intending to take
up stenography, typewriting and the al
lied branches. At the same time the
lengthening of the commercial course
win give more mature comprehension
of the duties of business life when the
graduates shall take positions of respon-
sibility in offices and business. Even
after a four years stay in high school
the graduates are none too old to begin
active participation in business.

Building in Richmond.

Arrangements for the location of a
branch plant of the Eastern Ohio
Creamery company, with headquar-
tiers in Greenville. Ohio. were made
on Tuesday upon visit of general
manager Winters, of the concern. A
lease was secured from the owners of
the factory building at Eleventh and
North h streets, formerly occupied by
the blackboard factory, and it will
shortly be occupied by the creamery
company.
The machinery and other equipment
which Is now in the plant at Eaton
will be Grated and shipped here at
once. New machinery also will be
purchased as the company expects to
make the Richmond branch one of its
largest and most substantial ones. A
number of workmen will be employed.
although the exact working force has
not been announced. 1t is understood
that the company plans to have the
Richmond plant do a $4,000 a year
business.
No bonus was required to secure
the factory. in fact there were no con-
ferences held with the commercial Or

Gated here, Mr.. Winters said, because
the company felt there was an oppor-

the deal fell through.

will be no coalition between the new
