SERIOUS CONDITION.

The school affairs Of Bemidji
are in a serious condition. Here
it is nearing September LIST.
School is scheduled to open in
less than two weeks and yet the
village is unprepared to provide
school room for fully 200 pupils.
What is going to be done about
it? Are the people going to let
the children tramp about all
winter through the jack pines
and learn from nature, or are
The daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Beltrami Co., Minn.) 1903-1904, 1903-08-25

they going to take some con-
certed action and remedy the
evil? WHAT is Bemidji, anyway,
a place in the wilderness where
savages are made?
We don't know as the people
can lend any material assistance
to the members of the board OF
education who are now trying
their best to get an addition to
the present building. They can
at least let their opinions on the
subject be known. By speaking
a word of commentator on the
action of these commissioners
they will at least give encourage
ment and let the members Of the
school board know that their
efforts in trying to get the ad--
dition built are appreciated.
These men can hardly be
blamed for the fact that the little
ones cannot all be comfortably
housed at the opening Of school.
To be sure there has been some
delay, but as soon as affairs could
be Strengthened out the matter
of the four room addition was
taken up with all speed. Now,
after it is assured that funds for
the undertaking are not lacking,
after plans and specifications
have been drawn up, bids called
for and the contract let, the un-
forseen occurs, plans are all
thrown away, as announced IN
the news. columns of this issue
of the Pioneer, and another long
delay stares us in the face. 1t
is exasperating to say the least.
The majority of the commission
ers have labored earnestly and
faithfully to have the addition
erected at the least possible ex-
pense to the public, even going
so far as to reject one set of bids
and calling for more, and by so
doing saving the district about
$4,000.
Something has got to be done
at once. That's certain. 1t will
never do to have it spread abroad
that Bemidji cannot provide for
the education Of her children. 1t
is a fact that 200 pupils will be
unable to attend school on the
opening day because of lack Of
room. Congregations have re
fused to allow their churches to
be used for school purposes and
there seems no other place to go.

SLEEPY SUPERIOR.

SLEEPY SUPERIOR.
Superior, Wis, is now without
a morning paper published in the
city. The Morning Leader, which
has been struggling along for IA
years under various manage
ments, died natural death Sun
day morning, when it made it's
last appearance as a daily. Since
April it has been published by j.
S. Konkel, who will now combine
it with his twice a-week Clarion,
which will hereafter be issued
three times a week under the
name of the Leader-Clarion Its
chief attraction will be it's "rich
and racyo editorial department..
Rich and racy editorials are
Editor Konkel's stronghold, and
there can be little doubt but that
the paper under it's new form
will be a booming success.
The death of the Leader may
be looked upon as a distinct
triumph for Duluth in general
and the Duluth News Tribune IN
particular. For years Duluth
has looked upon her sister city
across the bay as dangerous
rival, and has energetically
worked TO make the Wisconsin
town into a mere suburb. The
death of the Leader is a big step
toward the consummationo of this
desire, for, after all, the Leader
did not die a wholly natural
death; it was really killed by the
Duluth News Tribune, which has
been working the Superior field
for all it was worth for the past
few years A Superior depart
ment was put in the paper and a
competent force of reporters
started to gather the news. OF
course the News Tribune is a far
better paper than Superior can
support. Superior citizens seem
to lack loyalty, for the Tribune
soon gained foothold, which it
rapidly strengthened. The List
of subscribers, by hard work on
the part of the Duluthians, has
steadily grown until now the
home paper has been pushed
from the field. This speaks well
for the progressive energy of
Duluth, but may we'll be looked
upon in the light of a disgrace to
Superior. A city with a popula-
ton of 5000 people that refuses
to support morning paper can
have little hope of ever being
anything but a suburb Of it's
near neighbor.
With all advantages of location
Superior lis content to follow in
the wake of the larger town on
the hill. She hasn't even the
gumption to speak for what she
does own. She possesses the
largest ore dock, the largest
grain elevator and one OF the
largest merchandise docks in the
world, yetoutside of radius of
a few hundred miles it is gener-
ally believed that these great
institutions are within the limits
of Duluth The name Superior
is scarcely known. In all maga-
zine and newspaper articles they
are credited to Duluth, and this
even in the Twin City papers.
Superior is verify a city Of Rip
Van WinEels, and no one, except
ing Duluth, appears to care par
ticularly whether she ever wakes
up or not

they would find Johnson if such
thing were possible, for they had more
reason than ever to find him.
They rode along the foot of the
mountain in search of the path of
which the woman spoke. There was
no road here as along the other noun
tain; narrow line half hidden by
long grass and tangled bushes strag-
gled in and out capriciously, as though
to puzzle its followers, now up the
mountain side, again straying out into
the valley meadows nearer the rivers
moaning. Above, among the pines. the
blue haze was tangled, hiding all be-
yond; the dread mystery of the noun
tain clung like garment about it.
The men rode on in silence: there
was solemnity around them that
hushed all light words. The enormity
OF their undertaking dawned more
ana more upon them; to search for a
man in that wilderness with the noun
tain's haert for his hiding place and
its robe of haze for his shield was ab-
surd. There were chcsms and dan
winding paths, lodges hidden by haze
that would swallow a man as com
pletely as sepulcher, and leave no
trace, massive rocks overhead that a
tremor of the mountain would hurl
upon them. No wonder the men grew
silent and allowed the horses to have
their way; man could not follow the
dangerous, hidden paths; only brute
instinct could find the safe places.
They came at last to the path up
the mountain. and the horses refused
TO take 1t until urged by whip and
spur 1t was path that shielded all
beyond it, as though the mountain
had made fastness that none could
break. The horses toiled up slowly,
slipping now and again on the treach-
erous ground; the tangled bushes and
low boughs swept them as they
passed; above the pine boughs parted
enough for mans head to pass un.
touched beneath. Now and again the
bushes and ferns; great rocks loomed
path seemed lost in the wilderness OF
ahead and the path that seemed cut
off turned sharply and wound up the
mountain; again and again the horse.
hoofs paused on the edge of chasm
half hidden by haze, and the men
with white faces held them up by
main force from the ghastly depths
beneath their very feet. Their voices,
as they shouted in hopes of a reply

gruesome in the loneliness
Half way up the mountain they
paused and faced about. 1t was use
less, they said, and foolish to follow
the path up higher; no man would
wander up there of his own free will;
racing the law were preferable; one
knew what to expect from it. Here

heart. If Johnson were there he
might stay there; their lives were of
more value than his; they would re.
turn to the town and report the utter
hopelessness of the search. 1t would
be wiser to search for him nearer
home: to hide from the law showed
that he was cowardly, and a coward
would never come there. They would
stop at the tavern and speak to the
woman again; her words might be
wiser than they thought And they
would speak again to that girl of
Johnsons; she might be more willing
to talk, and she was no fool.

CHAPTER VII.
The Strayed Cow.

Dolores sat in the doorway wait
ing for her fathers return from the
tavern. He had been to the house
had his supper. She herself had eaten
nothing, for she had no appetite in
spite of her walk over the mountain.
She was quite idle. her hands in
their old lstless attitude in her lap,
her dark head resting against the
unpainted door post, her grave face
and thoughtful eyes raised to the
heavens. The moonlight falling across
her face defred it clear and perfect
as marble; upon the clean bare floor
behind her lay her shadow long and
dark.
The night was silent: the distant
sound of rude singing from the tav-
ern died away; the -.ghts went out
one after another in the long, low
vaguely why her father did not come.
Midnight had passed; the hours licked
away one by one on the big clock
in the corner, the moon hung round
ard golden above the mountain peaks
in the west; in the east streak of
whittier light appeared broadened and
deepened. The girls shadow disap-
peared from the floor; it lay in front
of her on the door stone.
The COW was cropping the grass on
the roadside. her breathing deep and
contented Lodie, the next neighbor,
came up the road with bucket His
well was low in this dry weather;

"A sheer day he said apologetical-
ly, looking at the brindle.

rs he still at the tavern?"
Lodie held the bucket suspended
half way down the well; a dull sur
prise was the leading expression on
his face.
Don't We know where he went.
Dlores? Warn't ye hyar when he
KEN up fer his gun an started ter

A sudden sharp fear woke in her
mind; she arose and faced Lodie, the
sunlight on her head.
II he went over on the opposite
mountain to hunt Brindle and has not
returned he must have lost his road,
or gotten hurt, or something to keep
him
Yes" said Lodie, slowly. "An'
theys want him ct ther court ter-day;
ef he amt thyar they'll KEN fer him;
theys sweared they'd hev him, fer
ther thing kyant be settled tell he
goes"
He swung the bucket up on the
edge of the well and passed down the
road in silence, his slouching figure
like blot on the exquisite landscape.
Breakfast was ready, and Dolores
went in and set the potatoes and ba-
con at one side of the hearth; the
coffee was ready to make; she never
made that till it was ready to be
drank. When all was ready within
she went out to the bank under the
pines. The sun was high and warm
but under the pines the shadows were
cool and dark and there she waited
for her father.

ment started over the mountain in
groups of twos and threes Dolores
watched them go, scarce taking her
eyes from them till their slouching
figures faded and blended with the
yellow road and the rugged paths. AS
they passed they asked for her father,
every one receiving the same reply.
Later, as Dolores watched, yellow
cloud of dust arose where the road
and the sky seemed to meet. She
watched it mechanically. AS the cloud
appeared ana drew nearer out OF it
appeared a body of horsemen riding
