Internal disruption of an active
volcanic nature at present dis
turbs the usual serene equanim-
ity of that heretofore very digni-
fed. decorous and still honorable
body, the board of education,
which has in charge the educa-
tional welfare of the young in the
hustling, overgrown village OF
Benidj il. How these same young
would have held up their hands
in holy horror had they been
present last night at the ad-
jonrned meeting Of the board
and heard the appellations-
sorehead, sneak, old stiff, hair
pin, low down, mean individual
and several other equally choice
and even more juicy epithets
hurled at a,recent acquisition to
the honorable body of school
commissioners who, since he
first sa,nctified the board meeting
with his scintillating, iridescent
presence, has caused nothing but
.discord-ugly, harsh, grating
discord in the ranks! He has
the proud distinction of having
voted "no' on every motion ex-
cepts that for adjournment that
has come up before the board
since he became a member. In
making this assertion last night,
Commissioner easier offered a
SIS cash reward to anyone who
could produce evidence to prove
its falsity. No one has yet ap-
peared to claim the reward.
When Mr.. Nye left the meeting
of the board Saturday morning
last, before adjournment and be-
fore the contract was let, he is
credited with having said that
there was no use for him to re-.
main anyway, for he would vote
ssno" on whatever proposition
might come up.
But to our story:
Frank Miller who, with colors
flying, carried off the contract
last Saturday for building the
addition to the Bemidji school
house, his bid Of S6,545 for the
plum being several hundred
dollars lower than that of his
nearest rival, last night asked the
members Of the school board to
rescind their action and release
him from his contract. The
plum had lost its sweetness; the
frost had touched it, perhaps,
and it was bitter to the taste.
But it now appears to be either
a case Of eat or pay high for hav-
ING the educational doctors ex.
tract the already alfswallowed
plum from an unwilling throat
and hand it over to one who has
a palate to which the fruit will
have a better flavor.
In short, the majority of the
school board has no intention Of
releasing Mr.. Miller from the
contract which he was so eager
ito secure only two days ago.
Whatever action the beard may
take the contractor says he will
refuse to proceed with the work
of putting up the addition, and
that he will forfeit his $500
check, put up as evidence OF
good faith, in preference.
And all the trouble is laid at
the door Of Commissioner Nye.

Volcanic Disturbances Among the Hon.
orable School Commissioners Begin
to Smell of Sulphur 6. ~
Frank Miller Asks to Be Released From
His Contract to Build Addition to
the School House.

OIL house.
He admits that he approached
Mr.. Miller after the latter had
obtained the contract, sread him
the law" and then told him that
che now, before starting work
on the contract, knew where he
stood. z Mr.. Nye has been
against the proposition from, the
start. His contention is that the
proceedings for getting that
much-needed improvement, an
addition to the Bemidji school
house, have not been conducted
according to law, and cities the
fact that a new building cannot
be erected under the direction of
the board of the education with
out vote of the district having
first been taken.
"His contention is alright as
far as it goos,'' said Mr.. Jinkin-
son last night, ".but it does not
in the least apply to building an
addition to a structure already
standing We have a perfect
right to erect such an addition at
our own discretion, and are not
at all CALLED upon to call vote of
the district on the question. The
fact that the present building is
overcrowded, that it is utterly
impossible to secure school room
for the overflow (even the
churches are refused us), that
200 children will be left out in
the cold this winter for the want
of proper school facilities. and
that we have the money for the
work, is sufficient cause for our
action.
The best legal advice in the
city was quoted to prove that the
stand taken by Commissioner
Jinkinson and that portion of the
board agreeing with him was the
correct one. Judge Spooner was
quoted as having said; long be-
fore he had any thought of going
on the bench, that such pro-
ceeding would be well within the
limits of the law.
Mr.. Miller gives as his reason
for wishing to withdraw the fact
that certain parties have threat
ened to serve an injunction if he
trys to build an addition. There
is a clause in the contract which
protects Mr.. Miller from all loss
should such a contingency arise.
When last night it was proposed
to obtain the advice Of the at
torney general, state school
superinte ndent and all the high
authorities in the state, including
that Of the best lawyers, and he
still refused to say he would pro-
coed with the contract even
though the advice stated positive
ly that the commissioners were
acting according to law in build
ing the addition, the bewildered
commissioners shook their heads
and then decided that there was
some secret reason for the CON
tinued refusal.
No action on the matter was
taken last night. The board adj
journed without setting a date
for the next meeting. Mr.. Miller
will be given a short time in
which to reconsider his action,
then another meeting will be
called and some final action will
ha ta lyor

Horner, recently appointed by
County School Sup't Denman to
arrange an educational exhibit al
the St. Louis Exposition in 1904,
met in the superintendent's Office
last Saturday to make prelimin-
ary arrangements. Sup't Den
man appointed Prof. Horner, sec
retary. Plans of work was dis
cussed by the several members.
It was finally agreed that Prof.
limerick should have charge of
the work connected with the
Philomath College, Prof. Bald
win look after the exhibit from
the College of Philomath, Prof.

the o. A. c., Prof. Holmes have

work in the country.
A letter of plan of work will
soon be issued by Sup't Denman
to the country schools. The
committee will meet again Jam
uary 2nd to report results of their
labor in each department. The
county at its December term

This is a matter which should
interest every citizen of our

that every person who can in
any way help in this meritorious
work will do it.

Next Parents Meeting.

| Sup't Denman returned from
Kings Valley last Saturday where
he has been visiting schools and
completing arrangements for the
parents meeting to be held there
on December 10Th. He found
the schools in a fourishing con-
dition. The Kings Valley
school recently added the 9th

near future.
The parents meeting isawaken-
ing considerable interest among
the teachers and patrons. A fine
program is being prepared by the
following schools: Alexander,
Hoskins, Kings Valley, Wards,
Wren and the Pc Dee school in
Polk county. The meeting is to
be held in the Evangelical church

coming from Wren and Blodgett.
