cause too much air was taken into
the rooms by the huge fan. The
speed of this fan can not be regu-
lated and as it ran too fast and con
sequently gave too ample supply OF
air, it took more heat to warm it. A
motion was then made that the prop.
erty and expense committee be
authorized to install a new jack
shaft which would reduce the speed
of the fan. This motion was carried
unanimously.
Lack of Playground Supervision.
Mr. Blissenbach then reported that
there was a decided lack of super
vision of the school play grounds,
and recommended that teacher be
assigned on each side of the school
at recess to teach the children how
to play, and to see that all children
receive equal benefit of the grounds
however, nothing was done on this
recommendation.
Mr.. Regain moved that sidewalk
be constructed in front of the Frank
lin school. AS conditions now are
the children, reach the school in a
roundabout way on account of the
mud in front of the building. Es-
pecially in the wet season it is al
most impossible to reach the school
from the front. 1t was decided to
have one member of the board ap-
pear before the city council and see
what could be done to construct a
sidewalk at this school.
Quite discussion arose as to the
insurance of the high school. A
communication was read from John
R. Bowen who stated in his letter
that he could not allow the two in
surance policies to be cancelled I'M
til the entire school board and not
two individuals, had ordered them
so cancelled. These policies were
returned. The committee in charge
had taken out these policies and
after having them short time can
celled them with the request that
Mr.. Bowen present his bill for the
short time in which the policies
were in force.
An invitation was then read, ask
ing the presence of the school board
at the annual reception to the high
school students and faculty which
will be held tomorrow evening in
the high school building.
Edwin j. Bishop, an accountant of
st. Paul, offered his services i'm
auditing the school books, making
reports OF the comparative attend
ance, and compiling other data
that he thought the board should
have.

ton of the building. Just now the
insurance is somewhat less than
that. Those i'm favor of the low IN

is slow burning one, and that there
is practically no danger from tre,
hence, there would be no need of

Five Year Term Policy.
Mr.. Blissenbach advocated the
five year term of policy instead of
the three year term as it would re-
duce the rate. He stated that the
total loss of the building in case of
fire could hardly be over $4,000
and thought therefore that
smaller policy would suffice. He
was against the co-insurance plan.
On the other hand Mr.. Regain ad-
vocated strongly the reinsurance
plan and thought that there would
be a saving of at least 500 by hav-
ing these policies. eff possible" he
suggested, hold a business meeting
and have the insurance men there
and learn from them which is the
best form of policy"
After pros and cons had been dis.
cussed it was finally decided to
adopt the report of the committee
who has this matter in charge.
This committee has already placed
the insurance with the various
companies and so did not like to
change the policies.

GET THE FARMERS INTERESTED

Rev. Bartlett's suggestion, at a
recent meeting of the Commercial
Club, to the effect that the Club in
augurate series of farmers meet
ings, Is such sensible one that the
wonder is nothing has been done
along these lines heretofore. There
seems 10 be some feeling among the
ranchers that the Club has acted
selfshly in the past in combining its
work too much to municipal affairs
and has not paid enough attention
to matters which might work to the
good of the valley at large. A series
of get-together meetings this winter
to which every rancher, whether a
member or not, would be invited
and urged to come, would at least
bring a better feeling between the
farmer and townsman. Lecturers
could be secured to speak on vari-
Gus phases Of farm management
and world of good information
would be collected.
As in all other lines, the only
successful farmers are the ones who
make study of their business. We
believe there are, in this valley, a
hundred ranchers ambitious to make
their farms more productive-am-
bituous enough to attend gladly a
series of such lectures, if the meet
ings could be arranged so that they
would be of real value.

STRAIGHTEN THE TANGLE

One of Mayor Bier's pet schemes
is to rename the city's streets. It
really is good idea, and one that
will be necessary of enacting, if not
now, at least before the city can
hope to show the government how
easy it would be for city carrier
to locate an address. For instance
First Street is north of the railroad
tracks; Second street, one block
long, is north of that. Three blocks
south, across the tracks, is a second
Second Street, running east and
west. Seventh Street, in the west
end of town, extends north and
south. Ninth runs quite in the wrong
direction to conform with the other
numerals. A deplorable mixup &C.
ours at the junction of the numbered
streets at Washington. Third Street
east of Washington is Maple. Fourth
street entends into Beach.
A change is certainly necessary,
and there will be no time that the
job can be accomplished any easier
than right at the present.

TO all appearances, the Atlantic
Pacific Transport Company, which
plans to operate a line of steamships
between New York and Puget Sound,
via the Panama Canal, will become
a reality. B. n. Baker, of Balti-
more, who recently visited this
coast in the interests of the COM
pany, reports that he has enough
capital in sight for the project. A
bounty for carrying the United
States mails is one of the induce
ments which has encouraged the
organizers of the company. These
vessels will be the means of carry
ing freights back and forth between
the two coasts for about fourth
what it costs now by rail.

two rooms with tight partition be-
