HI GIIE TO EBECT SCHOOL Bl 1I.DIXJ
Lowest Bidder on Thirty-Second
Street tractnre.
The contract for the construction of the
four-room addition to the Thirty-second
street school waa awarded to George
Hughes, the lowest bidder, at the meeting
of the Board of Education last night. His
bid was tlo,531. Other bidders were: Wick
ham Bros.. 110,579; Peter Peterson, $10,f.;
Jensen Bros., $10,898; Myrtue Bros., $14,000.
While no action was taken, the matter
of making the minimum salary for male
teachers in the high school $900 was dis
cussed. The matter was brought up by
Mr. Klllpack, who took the position that
no male teacher of ability would be will
ing to come here for less than that amount.
Member Hess said he Hgreed with Mr.
Klllpack. but further discussion was cut
short by Member Elliott, who objected to
the question of lncreojw-s In salaries being
discussed while newspaper reporters were
present. "Such discussions should be held
In executive session and not In open board.
If It gets abroad that we favor higher
salaries all the teachers will be asking
for a raise," he said. Mr. Klllpack brought
up this matter, it Is understood, at the re
quest of a member of the high school fac
ulty who Is seeking an Increase In salary.
There will be another vacancy In the high
school teaching corps next year, It Is said,
and It is doubtful If a good man can be
secured for less than $! a year.
Miss Vandercook, teacher In the Wash
ington avenue school, asked for leave of
absence during the last week of the school
year, In order to accept a position as In
structor at an institute In North Dakota.
The request was denied In view of the
fact that Miss Vandercook Is a teacher
In the eighth grade and a number of her
pupils will pass into the high school at the
close of the year.
The resignation of Miss Eddy, teacher
In the Bloomer school, who has returned to
her home In Marengo, la., was accepted.
Her place will be taken by a substitute
teacher until the close of the school year.
Supervisor Brewlck called attention to
the need of a new heating plant at the
North Eighth .street school, and the mat
ter was referred to the committee on fuel
and heating.
Send us that barn or house bill and we
will save you money. We can sell you

is of ten sufficient to afford immediate re

RAILROADS INSIST IT WOULD BE UNFAIR
Kaatern and Central Portions of State
Interested More tn Short Hani
Rate, Which Is Satisfac
tory to Them.
(From a BtnfT Correspondent.)
DBS MOINKS, April . (Special.) Coun
cil Bluffs business men were on hand today
at the railroad commission hearing to urgo
a reduction of the long haul rate In the
state on merchandise. The railroad repre
sentatives were present to argue against
any change in the rate. The Council Bluffs
delegation was the only one present to
urge a change of the rates. President K.
H. Merrlam of the Commercial club of
Council Bluffs waa at the hend of the delo
gatlon and Fred R. Davis. C. V. Mc
Donald and F. H. Keyes were the other
members of the delegation present. The
contention of the Council Bluffs men was
that the long haul rate Is too high as com
pared with the Interstate rate at basic
points. The western part of the state Is
the only soctlon Interested In the matter.
They furthermore contended that tho long
haul rate In Iowa Is greater than that of
Illinois. It waa disclosed that the Iowa
and Illinois rates cross at 180 miles. Above
ISO miles the Illinois rate Is less than the
Iom-a rate and below ISO miles the Illinois
rate Is higher than the Iowa rate. It whs
maintained by the renlroad men that If the
Iowa commission lowers the long haul rate
In Iowa It should make a corresponding In
crease In the short rate. It was further as
serted by the railroad men that the Illinois
commission took Into consideration the
Iowa rate when It fixed Its rates and that
It became convinced that the short rate In
Iowa Is far too low. While the long haul
rate on merchandise goods Is largely of In
terest only to Council Bluffs and the wes
tern part of the state, the short haul rato
Is of Interest to the entire state and It
was argued by the railroad men that It
would be against the best Interests to in
crease the short rate. The Council Bluffs
men argued that the reduction of the long
haul rate did not necessarily carry with It
an Increase In the short haul rate, and that
the long distance rate ought to be reduced
on Its own account. The commission did
not announce any decision today.
Women's Clubs to Oskaloosn.

ings are to be hpld In the Methodist church,
beginning the evening of May 14 at 8
o'clock.

DEMAND FOR GEOLOGISTS
Government Has Trouble In Keeping;
'v Men Fitted for Work for
Survey.
WASHINGTON. April 30. The constant
draft on the "economic force" of the
geological survey made by large mining
organizations, which offer the government
experts much greater salaries than they
get from the government, is seriously Im
pairing the efficiency of thnt branch of the
service, says a survey report on the In
vestigation of metalliferous ores In 1906.
The report adds:
"It Is only by years of practical ex
perience In the field that the geologist,
however excellent his preliminary training,
becomes competent to carry on independent
work In Investigating a mining district,
and the loss of trained men In this work
Is, for a time, Irreparable."
