THE SCHOOL MEETING
Rather Hot Affair Pulled Off SAT-
urday Evening.

Inanothei column will be found the
official report of the Annual Meeting
of School District No. II, held Satur-
day evening, as prepared by Clerk
Torinus. The proceedings show the
happenings in detail. In another
column will also be found the annual
report of Treasurer Chas. Trezona
showing the financial transactions of
the district for the past year.
The meeting Saturday evening was
one of the warmest ever held in the
city. Not only the weather. but also
the campaign for clerk and treasurer
were of the torrid variety and some
were bold enough to remark that the
warmness of the campaign was re-
sponsible for the humid condition OF
the atmosphere.
The balloting began at about 100
and continued for over two hours, the
crowd packing themselves into The
hall at the school house like sardines
in can, A line was kept moving
past the polling booth and many ex-
pressed themselves as pleased to gel
through with a whole skin. Men and

print Shop" an Educator.

A printing Office is good place in
which to learn great many important
things besides spelling and typesetting
and the boy or girl who is disposed to
making the most of his or her oppor-
tunities can become very well educat-
ed in a print shop even if lie or she
cannot afford the advantages of the
schools. We know of no better place
for ambitious young men and women
who must earn their own living, for
good printers and compositors, editors
and reporters are always in demand
and there is nothing connected with
the business but that is worthy and
respectable. In the older days print
ers and reporters were apt to be
rowing, dissipated class and of course
there are tramp printers today, even
as there are tramp mechanics, tramp
musicians and tramps of every other
trades and calling. But there is
nothing in the printing business that
necessarily leads up to such a life,
while there much in it that Is elevat-
| ing and commendable. The modern
newspaper has become mighty force
| in our civilization and its influence is
far reaching and will continue to be
so. It is growing instead of waning
and nothing forestalls it or lessons its
power, so long as men and women of
conscience and power are in control
of the printing offices of our land.
The newspaper is relied on more and
more, not only to give to the news Of
the day and to indicate public senti-
ment but it is a growing and acknow-
lodged power in creating and shaping
public sentiment and its influence is
lfeltin every sphere of human activity,
material, social, educational, govern
mental, moral and religious. Monte

The Fire Department Nine do the
Pioneer Boys.

The heralded game of base ball, on
the challenge of the Pioneer nine
to play the Fire Department nine,
tookplace Sunday on the Ely grounds
and large crowd was in attendance,
Some parts Of the game was well
played and barring a few wild throws
the game was, as a whole, satisfactory
to the spectators. The Fire boys op-
ened the ball by securing one run,
the Pioneer securing three in their
half of the inning. E. Mcpherson
officiated as umpire. Ike Cox, Jos.
Seraphine and M. E. Gleason were
the battery for the Fire boys and Alex
Powers and Iyer Visited held the
points for the Pioneer.
In the second inning, the f. D. Sc
cured two runs as they also did In
the third. The Pioneers were BANKED
for two innings. The mines then
spurted some, three handsome ciphers
decorated the Fire boys score in the
three innings that followed while the
mine secured three runs in the fourth
nothing in the fifth and one in the
sixth.
The seventh inning was disastrous
one for the mines, six scores being
chalked up to the credit of the fire
department and in the seventh four
more were added to the list This
ended the runs for the fire boys. The
Pioneer secured five more before the
end of the game and at tue end their
score stood, twelve to the fire boys
fifteen.
Those who did the work for the
mines were, Alex Powers, Iver Wis
ted, Harry Chinn, Jack Andrews,
VIM. Odds, Emil Sandberg, Reuben
Toms, w. A. McCuIdy,. Chas. Ora
bowsEy and Otto Brownell. For the
fire department., M. e. Gleason, Jos.

the department to correct matters

A WORD TO DULUTH UNIONS.


Every union in the city will have
one more opportunity to vote upon
the proposition of sending DELEGATES
to the Brainerd convention of the
Minnesota State Federation of La
Dor. In our last issue we wrote a
stirring article upon the question in
the hope that we might arouse the
Indifferent and sleeping unions to
action. In some instances our ap-
peal has borne fruit, but many
unions have not yet had an oppor-
tunity to act. So this last appeal.
We hold that the success of the
labor movement in this state depends
largely upon the interest manifested
in the State Federation of Labor. If
this body is active and enterprising
so will be the larger number Of
unions in the state. This is an avow-
ed fact shown by past experience.
There are number of unions that
believe that they cannot affotd to
send a delegate, but the expense is
lighter this year than it will be for
long time to come. The Fedora
ton went to Brainerd by vote of the
last convention largely upon repre-
sensations made by the Duluth dele

TEMPERATURE OF THE GROUND,


Interesting experiments on the
temperature of the soil, both at the
immediate surface and to a consid-
cradle degree below it, are reported
in Cosmos (Paris). Heat travels
so slowly through the earth that al
though the surface is hottest at noon
layer two feet below it does not
reach it's hottest period until mid
night. At the same time, of course,
the difference between hot and
cold is vastly reduced even at that
slight depth. This fact was estab-
lished long ago for the greater
changes involved in the transition
from one season to another. At a
comparatively small depth it Is
warmest In midwinter, owing to the
extreme slOwness with which the
temperature wave travels downward
into the soil. Says the writer of the
note in Cosmos:
THE earth may be regarded as a
sort of calorimeter storing up in its
mass the heat received at it's surface;
