STATE HIGH SCHOOL AID
DELAYED UNTIL SPRING
State Treasurer c. C. Dinehart Says
Financial Conditions Will Delay This
Payment Until March or April.

State Treasurer C. c.. Dinehart
while in the city Tuesday, stated
to the Pioneer that the money
apportioned for state aid to schools
will not be paid until some time after
the first of the year. He said:
It has been the custom of the
treasury department of the state to
from year to year borrow the neces-
sary amount of money required to
pay the amount due the schools
of the state from the twin city
banks.
we had made all arrangements
to secure this money Saturday be-
fore the order made by the bank
ers not to ship any more money from
the city. Monday morning, when
we were ready to complete the final
arrangements the bankers simply
informed us that no more money
could be paid out until the condi-
tions were more settled"
In connection with this, Mr..
Dinehart has sent out to county
treasurers the following letter:
To county and school officers:
so many inquiries have been d.
rected to this department asking
when the state aid to schools
could be expected that it has been
deemed advisable to issue this letter
giving the situation as it exists.
The legislature of the state has
made the appropriation available in
October, and in so doing has anti.
cipated the revenues which do not
reach the treasury until the follow.
ing March. The fall months mark
the lean period IN the finances OF
the state and as result the state
is each year compelled to borrow
several hundred thousand dollars.
The necessity for this arose this
year, but owing to the unfortunate
condition of the money market, il
has been impossible to borrow as
heretofore. In fact, negotiations
were completed for the loan tc
cover this $830,o00 appropriation
but were abruptly broken off when
this present financial situation
appeared Accordingly, there has

In response to an inquiry made
by A. G.. Rutledge of Bemidji rela-
tive to the work that is being done
by the State immigration Bureau,
George Welsh, the commissioner of
immigration, gives out the following:
One of the first duties of the
Immigration Department of this
state is to acquaint her own citizens
with the possibilities and opportuni-
ties within her borders. l am sorry
to admit that the people of our own
state do not appreciate the untold
wealth now lying dormant in the
agricultural possibilities of the state
of Minnesota.
The state covers a distance of
4O5 miles from north to south, sup
plying a diversity of soil and climate,
and consequently variety of farm
products, the residents of one sec
ton being unfamiliar with the pro-
ducts of the other. l believe if the
people of our own. state were more
familiar with the various resources it
would materially aid in the develop
ment of all sections. The people of
the state are awakening to this con-
dition and are now anxious to- bring
together people from the different
sections of the state. With this end
in view, the St. Paul Commercial
Club has taken the initiatory step
by issuing call for a federation of
the commercial clubs of this state on
January Is and II. If this move
ment proves to be a success, and l
see no reason why it should not be,
it will be a means by which the
people from the various counties
will familiarize themselves with the
conditions of progress of the others,
and stop sectional feeling by pro
noting a general sentiment for a

Announce

Owing to the advance in paper
and all newspaper materials, the
Pioneer will, after January 18th,
1908, raise the subscription price as
follows: The weekly will be charged
at the rate of $1.50 per year instead
of SIPS as heretofore.
After January 18th, 1908, those
subscribers to the daily and the
weekly Pioneer, who live outside of
this county, whose papers are sent
to them in single wrapper, and
wish to have the. paper sent them
will be required to pay in advance.
The paper will not be sent unless it
is paid for. This notice is given
early so that I'll who are in arrears
will have sufficient time to settle
their accounts before that time.
Statements will be sent to all who
are in arrears and they will be
expected to pay up all that is due
and year in advance on the weekly,
and at least three months in advance
on the daily.
The single list" as it is termed
is practically dead loss to a
newspaper. A few keep their sub
scription up, but more let them
run along until they are. hard to
collect and many are not collected,
but the editor has to pay the pos
tage each week on all papers that
go out side of the county, and also
has to pay all other expenses of
furnishing the paper and mailing
it.
The Pioneer at all times aims to
give to its readers the best news
service possible, and the money
saved by not permitting these
accounts from the single list" to
run will be used to better the
paper.
The list will be carefully watched
from month to month and on the
first of each month all whose sub
scriptions expires within the next
six weeks following the date of the
month will be notified of the exact
date of the expiration of his subscrib-
tion..

The mouth of the mine is a total
wreck and this circumstance con-
nected with the raging fire which
was discovered raging inside pre-
vented effectually any attempt at
rescuing the imprisoned men.
The violence of the explosion
which completely rent the inside
of the mine and presence of fire
which blocked conditions at the
mouth of the slope makes it imprac-
ticable to rescue the imprisoned
men. There is not much hope for
the unfortunate men.

There is a general awakening
throughout the country to the
latent possibilities of agricultural de.
velopment of the state of Minnesota,
Not more than 40 per cent of her
good agricultural land is now being
titled, and yet Minnesota stands
fourth in cereal crop productions
when compared with the As states of
the Union. Under an average state
of agricultural development i. is
fair to presume that Minnesota will
stand at the top. Her agricultural
lands are sold at a lower price per
acre than any other section in
America, when we consider their
productive value, and the only
reason that there is not flood of
immigration coming to our state is,
that those living without her borders
are unacquainted with her oppor-
tunities.

receiving hundreds of inquiries from
all parts of the United States regard.

lands in Minnesota, which are max
ing it necessary for the department
to compile statistical information by
counties. This work is now pro-

For many of the facts in this compi
lation we must depend upon the
generosity of the public-spirited citi
zens in tue various counties of the
state. When the proper interest
is developed among our citizens sc
that united effort is made from
every county in the state for a
greater development, Minnesota bids
fair to head all her sister states ir

ment. Supposed to Have Been De.
mented. Meets Instant Death.

Mike Kiosky, Russian Polander
who came from the old country six
months ago, was instantly killed
between Funkley and Blackduck
yesterday morning.
sKiosky was being taken to the
Blackduck hospital by two nephews,-
and in an unguarded moment fell
from the platform of the car to
instant death. He was not missed
until the train reached Blackjack
and the nephews, who were accom-
panying him, went back to make
investigation and found his mangled
body two and one half miles from
Blackduck. An examination of the
remains made by Coroner Lahr last
night showed that Kiosky sustained
a fractured skull and that death was
instanteous.
Kiosky was supposed to be sick.
and was being taken to the hospital
for treatment, but it developed now
that he was insane, being under the
delusion that someone was trying to
kill him. He was forty years of age
and leaves a wife and family in the
old country.
The remains were brought to this
city this morning by the coroner
and interment will be made in the
county poor farm cemetery, Rev
Father O'Dwyer officiating at the.

Single BUSINESS
Shut Down of two Mon tbs
May Not Continue,
Owing to State of
the Market.

That the closedown OF the shingle mills
of the state will not continue tor the iull
period Of tAo months originally agreed
Oh al the meeting held in this city early
in December, is the opinion vi mill men
who have peen watching the situation
closely, says the Seattle Post-Intell-
gencer.
The secret of the whole matter is, that
the car shortage situation, which has
greatly curtaiIed the output of the mills,
has within the past few days shown signs
OF easing up slightly, more cars being
available, with promise OF somewhat bet
ter service IN the future. This condi-
ton, partially foreseen at the manufac-
turers' meeting at which the Closedown
was agreed on, together with the extra
tirmness OF the shingle market in the
east, also recognized at that time, is
apparently making it profitable Tor the
Manufactured to run their mills as stead
iy as the supply of cars and their dry
ing and storage facilities makes it posi-.
bic for them ~ handle the shingles.
The mar ket is now approaching So 35
for clears, with prospects OF going to $3.50
unless production can be heavily in
creased.
1t was with the possibility in mind of
the advent of these conditions that the
mass meeting Of manufacturers decided
on merely verbal agreement for the
closedown bound by no forfeit, and sub.
ject to termination whenever, in the
judgment OF the closedown committee Of
twenty-four, it would be advantageous
to the manufacturers az whole, to le.
sume operations.
1t appears to be the judgment Of some
OF the manufacturers that that time has
arrived, as some of the large mills in
Bala,d are now running, and the Ever
EFT ami Ballard manufacturers are anx-
ious for resumption OF operations.
While nothing definite can be learned
at the headquarters Of the shingle mills
bureau, some OF the manufacturers are
expecting word from the head Office be-
fore many days authorizing resump.
ton OF the mills, in recognition Of the
existing conditions.
