FITTING A SCHOOL TO A SITE
Problem That Confronts the Board of
Education Just Now.
LOCATION CHOSEN NOT AN IDEAL ONE
DIITIc'iiIIIcn lliteoiintered In I'rciinrlnii
the .Street Trnut for (leeupniu'j- by
the Proponed mv Illicit
School lltillilliiK.
1). W. Otis, agent for tho Street prop
erty which tho Hoard of Education decided
lo purchabo for the site for tho new High
school building, has received a telegraph
dlrpatch from A. W. Street to tho effect
that ho Is perfectly willing to open up
Third direct, between Fifth nnd Sixth ave
nues, and that tho deed to tho city to the
ground noccBsury had been mailed by hlin.
After the board had decided to con
summate tho purchaso of tho Street tract
It discovered that whllo Third street be
tween Fifth nnd Sixth avenues was open
to travel, It was Street's private property
and had ncvor been dedicated to tho city
or uraded. D. W. Otis was nt onco no
tilled that all negotiations for tho pur
chase of tho tract would he suspended un
til It wab learned whether Street was will
ing to open thu street or nut. Third street
at present is open upon tho property se
lected by tho school board on either side.
This portion of Third Btreot will have
to bo lowered about eight feet to bring
it to tho established grado. As It Is ut
present thero Is a drop of six or soven
ftet from the street onto tho tract on
which It Is proposed to erect tho uew High
school.
Tho properly known as tho "Street
tract," on which tho Hoard of IMucatlon
proposes to orect tho now High school,
cannot bj even a stretch of tho Imagina
tion be called a central location and la
far moro dlfllcult of access than tho Oak
land avenue site, which was condemned
by tho stato superintendent of publlo In
struction as not being sufllclcntly cen
tral. Tho tract has a frontago of 20C feet
on Third street and Ululf street nnd 21G
feet frontago on Fifth avenue. Whllo over
$CO0 has been expended on grading this '
property It Is yet far from bolng any- i
where near level. From Third street to
Hluff street thero Is n fall of nineteen feet
and six Inches, whllo at tho southwest
orner tho lot Is at least twelvo feet ahovo
tho sidewalk. At tho northwest corner It Is
about llvo feet above tho walk. On Fifth
nvetiuo It Is nbout level with tho sidewalk.
In order to ndnnt tho biilldlnir to thu
tnp0Braphy of tho property it Is proposed
, mhltnnt In linvn tttn
by the board s architects to have tho
school four stories high on the side fac
ing Mutt street and but three stories on
tho Bldo facing Third street. If a building
on thcso plans Is erected It will havo two
main entrances, ono on Fifth avenue and
tho other on Muff street.
Thero Is, it Is said, however, n possi
bility of tho board changing Its tnlnd again
ueroro it ilnally decides to build on this
site, ns It is no secret that nt least threo
of tho mcmbors nro opposed to locating the
school thero and would bo only too willing
to veto to rescind tho action In selecting
this property nnd to chooso a slto else
where. Thero has also been some tnlk of
Injunction proceedings being brounht
against tho board to restrain It from erect
ing tho school thero on the grounds that
the slto Is not centrally located.

Tho warrants wero Issued from tho court

pany has kept nn oyo peeled for suspicious
characters In the vicinity of its resort nt

rived nt tho lako yesterday morning on the

consequently thoy attracted attention. All

grancy were tiled before Justlco Hlef.
When tho oillcers went to look for the men
they found thorn hiding lu thu tall weeds
a little east of the loop.
Although no weapons wero found on
them It la believed from their actions that
they wero planning to hold up a car as
soon us It became dark. The men told a
number of different stories to account for
their presence nt tho lako and all Jhree
claimed to be tailors.

"I would llko to draw attention to a hunrh
of Immense trees In tho mountains fifteen
to twenty miles from my place on tho O.
It. & N," says a correspondent of tho Port
land Oregonlau. "1 used to mnko every
year n trip to the mountains, lasting gen
erally eight to ten days, and It was on ono
of my last trips about four years ago thnt
I discovered on the northeast side of the
divide, between tho waters of tho Hull
Hun and tho Hood river, thla bunch of
giant trees. The llko I never saw before
or since.
"Ueforo 1 saw these giants I had meas
ured from tlmo to time some trees nt
home, which girded twenty-nlno to thirty
feet nround about three feet ubovo tho base,
but these trees could not bo compared al
all with the big trees I found In tho moun
talus. They would appear ns mere slicks
among thoso giants. I honestly believe
that those giants will glrdlo sixty to eighty
feet around near the base and that they
are 350 to 400 feet high. They stand on n
kind of flat bottom and this Hat is well
protected from discovery, as fat as I
could perceive, by steep and high bluffs,
not only from tho Hood river side up, but
from tho main water divide down. These
big trees are, In my mind, somewhero near
tho north lino of the National park, but
It la doubtful if thoy aro in It.
"Thero aro two species ot tho giant troea.
Ono species has a yellowish and not very
rough bark. Is straight and round ns n
candle, has no limbs to nn Immense
height nnd has a nice, wonderful crown.
The father of this very urlstorratlo spe
cies In our mountnlns Is surely tho em
peror of our forest. People must not
think that thla tree Is tho so-called "nnhlo
llr," becauso I know not only tjto "noblo
fir." but many other mnuntnls trees very
well. Nor must they think that this spe
cies Is one of tho common trees In the
mountnlns. There may bo hundreds, thero
mny bo thousands. On our wny homo one
nf my companions was drowned In tho Hull
Hun anil, therefore, I never went to tho
mountain again, but I havo nlways had a
destro to go nnd Investigate further nbout
those big trees.

trees. They rival In size und graudeur the
first species. Hut the most wonderful

SIO.MJV IX AX OLD CLOCK.
Several iiiouxtwiil nullum Stored
A wny' In Meeret lliiiMrri.
In nn old eight-day clock In the houso of
Mrs. Nancy Hobout, who died this week,
says tho Pittsburg Dispatch, thero have
been discovered bags ot gold und sllvor
coin, which will amount, It Is estimated,
to several thousand dollars. The Hobout
homo Is situated In Amwell township. Mrs.
Nancy Hobout died last Tuesday and a fow
hours before her death the gave some keys
to her nleco, who stayed with her at tho
house. Sho told her that tho keys wero
for snnll drawers which hud been con
structed Inside tho old clock on tho stairs.
After Mrs. Hcbnut's death tho girl turned
tho keys over to tho executor of tho es
tate, W. M. Lee of Hollldny'a Cove. W. Va.
Ho opeued tho clock lu the front nnd
discovered tho small drawers. Tho up
per one was opened, but nothing was
found. Tho others In tho front could uot
be opened nnd he began to search thoso
lu tho rear. Upon opening the llrst
drawer ho discovered four sacks, which
weighed In aggrogate thirty-four pounds.
They were filled with gold and silver
coin. These sacks of coin aro estlmntcd
to bo worth many thousands of dollars,
though the executor did not count tho
contents, taking them to n bank lu Steu
bcnvlllo, O., whero they wero deposited.
Mr. Leo wan In Washington yesterday
and tiled the will of Mrs. Helmut for pro
bate. Sho bequeathed $100 to tho board
of foreign mlrslons of tho Presbyterian
church and distributed her property, renl
and personal, among her nieces nnd
ucphews. To one sho bequeathed the
eight-day clock, but no mention was made
of tho contents.
Jeremiah Hobout was a cabinet maker
by trade nnd over threo score years ago
made this old clock. In the Interior he
placed n variety of little drawers, which
wero ornnniented and so constructed ns
not to bo noticeable. Mr. Hobout was a
min f Industry and frugality and during
his Ilfo accumulated much money. He
would never Invest any of his earnings
and had no faith In banks. Within this
old clock, which stood nt the head of
tho stairs, he, yenr nfter year, placed tho
money which he had saved and accum
ulated.
Ho died several years ago nnd It was not
until the time of his death that ho told
his wife of tho secret and sho has since
then carefully guarded It. ns sho did not
need any of tho money, having plenty to
llvo on.

Is run by brain power. When the stomach
does too much work It makes too groat
a demand upon the brain.

MINERS NOT READY TO STRIKE
Executive Board of United Mine Workers
Adjourns Without Action,
OPERATORS GIVEN ONE MORE CHANCE
Pre lite nt .Mitchell Knipliatlenlly lie
n I pi Thnt I'olltlenl Inllueucpo Arr
ltcspnunllilp for the HnltltiK
Action of 1 1 In Hod).
INDIANAPOLIS, Sept. 9.-Tho national
executUo board of tho United Mlno Work
ers of America, adjourned today slno dio
without promulgating a formal endorsement
of the application of tho miners of the an
thracite districts for permission to strike.
At tho close of tho session President John
Mitchell said:
There Is practically no change In the
situation since last night. If the uper.il -rs
do not meet our demands within n given
time tho strike will bo ordered upon the
endorsement of Secretury Wilson and my
self. Whether tho time allowed Is live d iys or
longer 1 decline to say. As set out In our
statement of yesterday influences are t
work to bring nbout a settlement without
ordering the men to lay down their tooH
I must again decline to say what thee
Influences are for the reason that makl ig
this Information public would at once d -stroy
their etfectlvouess
If there Hre any political Influences at
work I know nothing of them and I do not
think It has come to the knowledge of the
bo.rd member It would be very bad
policy for the national oinccrs of the mine
wotkers to ask the Intercession of any
political party nnd this moM rerialnly hns
not been done. We nro simply trying to
get for the miners of our organization and
those atllllatcd with us honcpt wages.
As soon as he arrived nt his olllre this
morning Ptestdent Mitchell sent word to the
telegraph olllce.s Instructing thnt If any
messages hod been recelvul for him during
the night that they bo delivered at his of
fice. After waiting a reasonable time for u
responso the board was called to ordrr. No
messages rnmo nnd this Is taken ns nn In
dlcntlou that negotiations aro still pending
Munition In Nuniiiipil t i.
I'p to tho time tho members of tho board
left tho olllco of tho president thero had
been no communication with tho leaders lu
tho anthracite districts. Summed up, the
situation, according to tho ndtnlsalous of
President Mitchell, Is simply this:
Negotiations nre undoubtedly on for n
settlement of tho differences without a
strike. So long ns these nro ponding tho
mluers will not strike, for the reason that
the operators would bo left n loopholo ot
escape from tho position thoy now occupy by
saying tho men hnd gone out at a time when
there was a chauca that an amicable settle
ment might have been brought about.
Public sympathy Is an absolute necessity
lu so far ius the miners aro concerned. A
delay until It Is been that their wages will
not bo raised by the operators without a
strike; that their grievances upon tho pow
der question wherein thoy complain that
they aro paylug $1 more per keg nt "pluck
mo" stores than Is asked In the market;
that thoy are not allowed a check wclghmun
ou the tipple and must accept the weights
of companies that exact from them moro
than 3,ti00 pounds for a ton, which Is sold
on a basis of 2,240 pounds to tho ton, Ib
bound to start a sympathetic movement that
will roach over the entlro length nnd
breadth of the country.
Approximately lOo.OOO men are expected
to go out at tho bidding of the executive
board. Thuro nro among tho miners loyal
men who will provide for themselves, but
men who nre working at wages ranging from
00 cents to 1.35 per day cannot provide for
a period of Idleness, heuco tho organization
Is met with the burden of taking care of not
less than a half million of people during the
struggle.
Under those circumstances tho members
of the board admit that until tho last
vestige of hope for a settlement without
Inviting a condition that may rosult In tho
loss of life, tho destruction of propef"
and the temporary paralysis of Innumera
ble industries, they must wait.
It has been said that from the first ses
sion of tho executive board that unless
thero was n change In tho attltudo of the
operators and an Inclination to at least
recognlzo tho olllcerji of the Mine Workors
and ngreo to a wage scnlo conference a
strlko would bo endorsed. This same po
sition was maintained throughout tho de
liberations of tho board and existed nt
tho time of adjournment, and still exists,
but these men who havo been lu session
are needed In tho various parts of the
country for tho business of the organiza
tion nnd In order to simplify tho matters
tho declaration of a strlko Is left In tho
hands of President Mttcnell and Secre
tary Wilson.

HAZRLTON, Pa Sept. 9. Tho result of
tho national executlvo board of United
Mine Workers, In session nt Indianapolis,
In declining to declare n strike Involving
the miners of tho entlro anthracite coal
lloldir-iiiitll further efforts at conciliation
have been made, Is tnken nmong the mine
workers hero ns nn Indication of level
headedness on the part of the leaders and
they ure now confident that the way Is open
for bringing about n sottlemeut through
arbitration, nlthough only a tew of the
many operators who would be affected by
strlko havo agreed thus far to thnt
proposition. The operators, on tho other
hand, regard tho postponement of the strike
ns meaning that tho leaders do not yet
consider the nnthraclto field strongly
enough organized to force them to grant
tho demands mode by tho recent Hazelton
convention and unless a great change has
occurred In their attltudo they will not
arbitrate or make nny concessions, re-
gnrdless of tho decision ot tho national
board to hold off and give moro tlmo for
an adjustment of tho trouble
Mine Worker Del pkh tern Co Home.
Patrick Duffy, John Fahey and It. D.
Nichols, composing tho executlvo boanl of
tho United Mine Workors nf the authrarltc
region, did nothing today and they loft
for their howes. This Is taken to Indicate
that alL efforts for n settlement on the
part of thu board have been given up
unless tho operators agree within tho next
twenty-four hours to a proposition to sub
mit tho grievances of the minora to arbi
tration. Tho decision ot the national board
to defer the declaration of tho threatened
strlko has caused both relief and anxiety
In the Hnzelton district.
The news from Indianapolis last night
had tho effect nf creating a feeling of ro
llof, but among the business Interests,
which havo been considerably disturbed nnd
partly paralyzed during the last week on
account of tho fear nf a strike, there still
exists a suspense which will not bo re
moved until decisive action has been taken
either ono way or th other.
The posting of notices at tho various
collkries ou Saturday afternoon to tho
effect that all hnndt should report Mon
day for work, strlko or no strike, which
was regarded aa a determination on the
part of the operators to test tho strength
of the United Mine Workers In tho event
it the declaration of a strlko wus not

Nn Doubt un to Honesty of llonril.
SHAMOK1.V, Pa., Sept. 1). Fourteen thou
sand miners between here und Mount Car
mel this morning received from George
Hiirtlcln, secretary of district No. 9, United
Mlno Workers of America, the nows from
President Mitchell that n postponement of
the striko had been ordered. Most ot the
men feel that the operators nro nbout to
make a concession ot some kind and they
are eagerly awaiting further news from In
dianapolis. In ciiMi no concessions nre
grunted within two or threo days tho men
as a whole expect President .Mitchell to or
der the strlko.
Secretary Hart loin gave out the following
statement louighi relative to the miners ob
serving President Mitchell's orders for a
postponement ot tho strike:
"Although miners In a great sonso were
dltuippolntod they feel that their cause Is be
ing honestly handled by tho executlvo board
nnd that arrangements are being mado be
tween the boanl mid tho operators whereby
the) strike will bo averted. Otherwipo If tho
operators mnko no concession thero Is no
alternative but strlko."
