Two cars of lumber arrived Thursday night on tho local freight and the work of building the pens and side, track will be pushed rapidly in order to uso them during tho present shipping season. Tho present pons will of courst' bo used until the now pons are completed, after which tho old pens will eventually bo torn down. Oi,o reason that the pons have been moved four miles from town, was that residents in tho euBtern portion of tho city have boon complaining about the stock pens being in town, accompanied by the dust, smell and herds of cattle being so near. When tho present pons wore built they were thought a loim distance from town but that por- FRIDAY NIGHT'S STORM Did much Damage. Wind Was Terrific. Several Houses Off Foundation. Fences Down.

Dooley's cot tage The Elk Horn wagon yard was damaged a good deal. Tho stallB on the north sido of tho yard that face south wore lifted out into tho middle of Concho avenue, loaving the horses tied to posts whore the stalls wero, probably astonishing them very much. None of thorn howovor wero hurt. Tho tin roofs and tin fronts on , so mo of the old buildings on Concho avonuo wero in some in stances ripped off. Tho tin front on top o tho old Schwartz it Raas building was partly torn off and bent over tho sido of tho building. Tho old Salvation Army hall wnB nlmost turned around.

I went out hunting yesterday, In bracing winter air, And I shall tell in laiigungo plain, lust what I saw out there. I biiw a little mother quail, With hor small children six, All hiding in a big brush hoap, In it most dreadful fix. A hawk was watching from a tree, With llorco and eager eye; A dog, with head and tail in lino, Was at a "Btand," close by. And J, a man, Cod's noblest work (?) Was out just having fun, By making war on little birds, With automatic gun. 'Tho hawk was there in search of food, With which to suvo Ihb life, The dog was there at my command, To aid me in tho strife; And 1 who know tho rules of right, And murder's vile import, Was out there, not in search of food, But killing, just for sport. Hugh Jackson, the popular manager of the San Angola Steam Laundry Co., accompanied by hie little son, left Friday for George town on a business visit of sov- i oral days. Geo. E. Wkiih, Presidont.

Tho tniBtoes of the San Anirelo mblic schools are vory much in lono of hoiiiL' able to exnond $L'0,- 000 on now school buildings (lur ing the coming summer vacation. C. A. Dailey in talking with a Press representative a fow days ago said, "Wo don't know what wo will do yot, but wo are going to ti'y to spend $0,000 on new school buildings this summer and havo thoni fliuBhod bofore tho noxt term of school ." Tho trustees have raised bonds uipinl to that amount, and if sold. which will bo vory likely, the good work will begin linmediatolv at the close of the present school term. Now buildings are indeed necessary. During part of this term, children in the lower grades could go to school only half a day to give other children a chance to attend the same length of time. The central school building al though large and formidable look ing, is inconvenient in many ways, has weak points and the roof is "full o' bats." A great deal has been done in improving the surrounding build ings, but too much can not be done. A town is judged in many instances bv tho class and accom modations of its schools. The first thing a prospector with a family asks is "What kind of schools have you hero?" And when you toll him that they aro lirst-clasB, plenty of room, new buildings, convenient, sanitary and the best of tea-jhors, ho says, "That's just what J 'in looking for" and lie proceeds to make tho Queen City of the Conchos his home The public schools of San Au golo have been fortunate in hav ing ambitious trustees, the snmu kind of suporintondant, good teachers, and tho Press sin cerely hopes that at tho begin ning of tho M105-00 term of school that there will bo $20,000 worth of buildiugB more than at pres ent. - Jack Iloldei. is now regular switch engineer on engine Ml.
