Division in School District IS,

There is some trouble brewing in
school district No. Is, in which district
are located two schools, one at Law
renee and one at Isle. At a special
school meeting held few weeks ago
the district voted to build a new school
house on the site of the present school
house at Isle, and the new school build
ing will be 24x36, with twenty-foot
posts and two stories, and it will
be equipped with a furnace and pro-
per system of ventilation, etc. The
majority of the free holders in the dis
trict live tributary to the Isle school,
and Outnumber the, Lawrence school
free holders three to one. The at
tendance at the Isle school is about
thirty, while down at Lawrence there
are about half as many scholars. The
Lawrence people have had in mind a
project to divide the district and pad
die their own canoe, but the Isle folks
while they had the power concluded to
60 in and get a good school house, and
this they have proceeded to do. They
intend to hire one frst-class grade and
one second-grade teacher, paying $50
for the first-grade teacher and $50 for
the second-grade teacher. They figure
that by maintaining a semi-graded
school they can receive State aid to the
amount of $3.50, but it is not always
possible to secure this amount. County
superintendent of Schools VanWormer
does not think favorably of the Isle
folks idea of building a new school,
and has SO stated to the officials of that
school district. He thinks that if the
Isle folks would hire a frst-grade
teacher and maintain the school as it
is at present and draw 1925 State aid
they would be doing the proper thing.
He does not think conditions Justify
the district in building the new school
house at this time, but realizes that
1--WE the people," rule.
The Lawrence people intend to secede
from the district and will ask the board
of county commissioners to set them
up in business by themselves.

Company G. Marksmen.

The Company G marksmen who went
Duluth last week to participate in the
preliminary State team shoot returned
home the latter part of the week. Ser
geant johnson and Private Mahonev
went to Lake City to attend the State
team shoot Monday and Tuesday of this
week. All the members of Co. G. who
attended the preliminary shoot at Du-
luth did very good. Private Iahoney
made record by scoring third place
in the skirmish run of unknown dis
lance firing, and his work was good
throughout. There were thirty pres
ent from the different companies of the
State. Privates Mahoney and Taylor
and Sergeant Sellhorn were the three
highest in scoring in CO. G, though It
must be said that all the boys in Co.
G, who went into the shoot acquitted
themselves we'll. Private Mahoney was
made an alternate in the State team
shoot at Lake City.

The new harness shop of Gillespie,
Stoneburg & Co., opened for business

Letter From Leyerly's Mother.


Judge, Chadbourne received letter
last week from the mother of Robert
Leyerly, the boy who was arrested re-
Gently for having stolen a horse from
the Prouty ranch and which he took to
Little Falls and traded for bicvcle.
The mother who resides at Sank Centre
says that the boys story as told at his
hearing before Justice Chadbo11rne
was substantially correct, but that his
age is fourteen years. His mother is
the widow of an old soldier and she is
in poor circumstances. She saws that
she was surprised to hear that her son
was in trouble, but that he always had
been a queer boy in many respects. in
her letter to the Justice she enclosed
one for her son and she will see the
district court judges at St. Cloud about
her boy.

THE PERMANENT SCHOOL FUND.

In conversation with one of our prominent
officials recently we heard the statement made
that it would be well to use the perman ent
school fund to pay the State debt. We are not
in the line of public economy. but believe that
such action would be a gross injustice to the
public schools-for the reason that it would take
from it the endowment granted by the U. S.
while it would tend to foster extravaganza in
State expenditures. The constitutional pro-
vision setting this fund aside for the endow-
ment of the schools is wise one. Let it stand.
-Edgerton Enterprise.
Time and again the State board of
investment has tried to purchase Min
nesota funding bonds for the permanent
school fund, but the parties who held
the same would not sell them at price
that would net three per cent, and the
law requires that all investments made
for the permanent school fund shall
net not less than three per cent. In
other words, the parties who hold Min
nesota's three and one-half per cent
funding bonds demand such premium
that the purchaser could not realize
more than two and three-fourths per
cent interest. Among the investments
of the permanent school fund are $751;
900 of Minnesota funding bonds which
we're purchased several years ago. The
State debt is less than one Million dol
lars to-day and will be wiped out alto
gether inside of eight years. The State
auditor is required by law to levy
funding tax of two-tenths of mill each
year, the proceeds Of which are applied
to the liquidation of the States bonded
Indebtedness, and bonds to the amount
of 100000 and over are called in and
cancelled annually. The proceeds de-
rived from sections 16 and 36 in each
township, under the granting act of
congress and our State constitution,
never can be used for any other than
educational purposes. Minnesota has
now and will continue to have the larg-
est. and best-administered permanent
school fund of any State in the Union.

The State fair management got after
the holders of passes this year who
make a business of letting their friends
use the complimentaries to the fair,
and many passes were taken up at the
gates. Over forty were taken up in a
single day. One who lost his pass, and
it was a life pass, had entered the
grounds in his carriage and had AFTER
wards attempted to pass in two other
teams with the same pass. The pass
privileges at the State fair have been
abused in past years to an extent that
has made the officials very particular
about the wrongful use of them.

BISHOP JOYCE of the Methodist
church is in favor of establishing a
chair of common sense in theological
schools. The bishop thinks such a
chair is needed to offset the effect Of
too much book learning. He is not far
from the true state of affairs, which
exist not alone in theological schools,
but in many other schools and colleges.

HE was one, and the chief one of an
assemblage of distinguished men, who
were eminently conspicuous in our
early annals. His rivals and co-work-

his most illustrious compeer: man of
culture amid barbaric SURROUNDINGS:
brave and chivalric, the plumed
knight of pre-territorial times.

the senate, always polished, suave and
diplomatic.
There was Joseph Renshaw Brown.

There was Ignatius Donnelly, that
Celtic genius, whose dazzling intellect
shone like meteor: but, unhappily.
like the elephants Of Pyrrhus, he was
sometimes as dangerous to his friends
as to his foes
''There was Edmund Rice, elegant
and courtly, the Chesterfield of his day.
There was John S. Pillsbury, ihon-
est, solid and true: the champion of the
university, the friend of the settler.::
There was Morton S. Wilkinson,
stately, gifted and elegant, the friend
OF Lincoln. 1t is to be regretted that
his speeches were always better than
his practices.
There was Cushman K. Davis, that
great jurist, whose bugle-notes of elo-
quence in Ciceronian periods still live
in the echoes of the American senate,
as his memory yet lives, deathless, in
our hearts.
"And there is the familiar face of
Charles Eugene Flandrau, the cavalier
of the border lawyer, jurist, soldier
the Prince Rupert Of the Northwest.
There is George LOOMS Becker,
lawyer, railroad president, state sena-
tor, railroad commissioner, twice Dem

type OF an elegant and accomplished
gentleman of the old school.

SHOPPING BY MAIL VS.. LOCAL MER-
CHANTS, AND VICE VERSA.

Communicated.
Since everyone has right to his
own opinion, let me express mine,
which does not coincide with that of
the Baker City Herald, concerning
Shopping by Mail" The Herald
gives only one side of the question,
and furnishes bat two ideas. First
Ordering by mail is detrimental to To-
cal merchants. Second-Only mail
order departments carry shoddy
goods. Itnever occurred to the Herald
that the methods of local merchants
are ever in any way detrimental to the
consumer. 1t has even been sug-
gested that it would be beneficial to
a community to prohibit mail orders
altogether, and compel the people to
patronize home trade. 1t is my be-
lief that such a condition Of things
would be as beneficial and acceptable
as high protective tariff. | know
personally, of local merchants who
are making four hundred per cent on
certain articles. 1t is to the interest
of the local dealer to set up howl
about home trade. 1t is to the in
terest OF the consumer to trade
where he gets the best satisfaction
for his money Not one firm in ten
in these small towns hold to the one
price rule. 1t is sort of .srecproc-
ity treaty" between the dealer and
rev consumers: and not always the
deserving and most ready are among
the favored few. As far as mail
order house producing inferior goods
10 concerned, I have never been able
to get the cheap quality of goods
these small stores of Washington
county carry, at any of the Chicago
firms. They do not have them in
stock. The consumer pays for all
the Injuries the dealer enjoys. He
pays the first cost OF the goods, pays
the freight, and also profit of sew
enty-tive per cent. When you see a
well fed, slick looking business man
OF any kind taking his ease, going to
the theater, smoking his select cigar,
just glance around at the tattered,
over worked men and women who
are paying for all of it. The great
mass of the people have had
their rights stricken out one by one,
till now is set up hue and cry be-
cause they object to this highway
man-hke method of the most of the
local merchants. The writer knows
of a. Weiser firm which buys direct
from a Minneapolis wholesale house,
and bis profit is more than two hun
dred per cent on the goods he sells.
In the catalogue of this Minneapolis
firm is written this: ''Do not leave
this book on the counter where Gus
toners will get hold of it," Why? |
