Figures for Black Rock and Sheri- dan schools had not been compiled at press hour today. Althdugh on the face of the figures it appears that the registration will be smaller than that of last year Superintendent Slaw- son declared today that such was not the case and that the board of educa- { ton would be hard put to provide school facilities for the children who eventually will apply for tuition.
 While at some schools the registra- ton is below normal, at Longfellow 10 pupils have registered for whom no seats can be provided. At Walters, vile school there are "A pupils for whom no seats are to be had even though the classes are on half time.
 In all the schools many who ap- peared yesterday fdr registration were told to come back today. They all came back and many others came with them so that the principals of all schools were kept busy>today re- vising the registration figures.
 Some relief from the overcrowding Is expected after the attendance for the pre-vocational school is adjusted. There are 1884 pupils registered at the High school as against 1,157 last year. More are expected. The senior class at the, Normal school has 31 members and possibly will have 36. There are 48 juniors. Last year the classes had 31 seniors and >38 juniors.
 In new schools and additions to ,scijbols, "A rooms are in preparation but Superintendent S1awson does not expect these additions will adequately provide for the situation.

this year by one of the big broom
factories of the West, the idea being
if the first test proves satisfactory
to establish a broom factory in one
of the cities of the valley

ent is confined to the states Of the
Middle West, and the rains Of last
season greatly intelfered with grow
ing conditions, hindering the growth
and spelling much of the corn. This
has brought Up the price Of broom
corn to $50 and S1S5 ton, which,

COAST FIRM BUYS THREE
SHIPS FOR $4,000,000

San Francisco Feb. 25.-The pur-
chase from the Royal Dutch West In
dia Mail of three large passenger and
freight steamships by the Pacific Mail
Steamship company, under the joint
control of the American International
Corporation of New York, and w. r.
Grace & Co. of San Francisco, was
announced here today.
The deal, it was reported, involving
an expenditure of S4,000,000 by the
purchasers, was consummated in New
York City yesterday.
1t was also announced that as soon
as the vessels can be brought to the
Pacific coast they will be placed in
service, running out Of this port to
Central American and Panama ports.
The statement also was made that two
more vessels of similar construction,
the plans for which already are drawn,
will be added to the fleet later.
The three vessels purchased by the
Pacific Mail are the Venezuela, Co.
lombia and Ecuador, sister ships.
When the Panama canal is reopened
the run of the vessels, it is announced,
will be extended to Caribbean points,
and when the two additional liners are
built, to South America.
The Venezuela, Colombia and Esua,
dor row fly the Dutch flag, but it is
announced by their new owners that,
if the laws permit, they will be placed
under American registry. New legis-
lation, it is stated, would be necessary
for this step.
