acle Concrete company arrived in
the city this morning. The work
of the company is practically
completed and he came here to
look it over, preparatory to OBJ
tanning a settlement with the city.
The contract with the city was
for grading, macadamizing and
putting in concrete cutters and
curbs on forty blocks of streets.
In doing this work 2500O yards
of dirt was moved, $4,000 square
yards of macadam was put in
and 10000 feet of concrete curb
and cutters was put in.
The contract price for doing
this work was S53,769.OO. Eighty
per cent Of the cost of the work
has been paid by che city as the
work has been done, figuring on

work as it was completed, leav-

The city the company has put in
10000 feet of cement sidewalks
for the individual property own
ers in the district and about 500
feet of cement 1etaining walls.
Although the original improve

for the putting down of concrete
walks and no provision was made
in the ordinance by which the
property owners could pay for
the walks in yearly installments,
after the other work was done a
large majority of the property
owners in the district desired the
improvements completed by put

council to order them put in.
This was done in a large part
of the district and most of the
walks so ordered have been put
in and many property owners
outside of those affected by the
orders of the council have put in
walks so that now the city has

College Opens

The new business college
opened yesterday over the Lum-
bermens Bank with a good en-
rollment. Several first class
teachers are in charge and much
enthusiasm is shown by parents
as we'll as students.
For the past year or two we
have been urged by business
people of ST. Maries to open a
branch here" said Mrs Counsel
man, president Of the school, who
is stopping at the Kootenai Inn.
I'VE have never found a time
more convenient that the present.
We have a bright, enthusiastic
crowd of young people and intend
to show within the next few
months that much greater pro-
gress can be made in our little
home college than in large cities
with crowded class rooms. In
fact, a course in stenography or
bookkeeping can be completed in
less than half the time required
in larger schools.
I'VE intend to have the gen.
uine college spirit, Work while
you work and play while you
play" A college club will be
organized, school colors voted
upon and once a month a Soc
ial OF party will be given by the
club. Later on a basket ball
team will be organized among
the Students"
about a dozen students have
already entered and several more
have made arrangements to en-
ter in fw days. The StenographiC
course seems to be in favor al
though many are taking the
combined course. A special in
ducement is given the first 2C
students who enter and many ar,
taking advantage of this offer al
so. Our school will be much
larger than we anticipated anC
extra teachers will be added tC
the force in a short time."
The citizens of st. Marie'
should do everything to aid il
making the st. Maries Business
College a success.

Reserve Banks
Opened Yesterday

With the opening yesterday Of
the - federal reserve banks, the
nation began the actual opera
ton of It's new currency system
designed to provide an elastic cir
culating medium based upon
modern ideas of finance and eco
nomics.
It has taken the reserve bank
organization committee and the
federal reserve board almost i2
months TO work out details of
organization to the point where
an opening date was chosen.
Notwithstanding careful deliber-
ations which preceded every pre-
liminary step the ~ banks will
not for many weeks take up and
exercise all the functions bestow-
ed upon them by congress. Such
evolution as will result from the
old national banking system OF
necessity will in most respects
be slow. The reserve board, the
guiding spirit of the new system
is itself feeling Its way over
strange ground and the men in
charge of the 10 banks probably
will feel the same desire to work
slowly and with aureness rather
than be venturesome.
The new system is generally
conceded to be a compromise be-
tween central bank and the
present system with its thous-
ands Of units, scattered reserves
and fixed limits of currency. It's
chief attraction and value those
who interpret it find in the elas-
ITCHY it will give to recognized
paper currency. Under the pres
ent law national bank currency
is almost a fixed quantity based
upon national bank capital, is
sued upon United States bonds
and unrespOnsive to the chill oil
hard times OF the exultation o.
boom days. It's use led, expert.

Two RObberieS
In One Night
MILWAUKEE BOARDING HOUSE ROBBED
BOaFder Loses One Hundred Dollars Dwelling In
That Vicinity Also Broken Into

Another robbery occurred in
the city Saturday night. This
time il was one of the men board
ing az the Mcmillan boarding
house near the Milwaukee store
that was the victim. Some
time Saturday night some one
climbed over the transom into
room occupied by Joseph Carl
son, broke into his trunk and
stole one hundred dollars and
made his escape without leaving
any clue.
1t was generally known among
he men employed at the mill that
Carlson had money and kept il
in his room and it is thought
that the robbery was the work
of one of them or else of some
one who learned the fact from
some talk among the men.
The same evening a small
house, across the street from the
Jarmin place was broken into and
IA quantity of ealables taken. The
house was occupied by two men
who were batching there. They
were both away during the even
ing and the loss was not dis
covered until their return. So
far no trace of the perpetrators
of either robbery has been dis
covered.
