MeIrose.-The opening of the new
St. Boniface Parish School took place
here on Monday last. The new struc-
ture, which takes the place of the old
school which was destroyed by fire
last year, is in every respect model
building. 1t was erected at an ap-
proximate cost of $45,000.00 and re-
fleets the greatest credit on the pastor
and on his parish. It contains ten large
class rooms, besides a large audi
forum, library, teachers room, etc.
All modern improvements are provided
for. 1t has been pronounced by ex-
perts the best building of it's kind in
the Northwest. With an enrolment OF
over $50 pupils the Melrose school is
noted for it's splendid work along all
lines. The dedication of the new
building has been postponed until the
month of June.

held a meeting of the Catholics of
Rockville and vicinity with a view to
the establishment of Catholic church

are that the project will result favor
ably. Rockville is situated on the

are obliged to journey inland to at
tend church service. Since the open
ing of the large granite works of Clark
& Mccormack, of St. Paul, who are
furnishing the stone for the new Cathe-
dral at St. Paul, the former quiet vii
lage has developed an unusual amount
of business activity. A committee con-
sisting of John Weisman, John Meinz,
B. Meters, Math Schmitt and M. Lepin-
ski were appointed to confer in the
matter with Rev. Henry Leuthner. pas
tor of Pearl Lake, with view to gain
ing the consent Of the Rt. Rev. Bishop
for the erection of a church. The
prospects now to this effect seem the
brightest IF present plans materialize
the new church will be built the COM
! ing summer.
