Shot Large Lynx.

A. Clavin, who owns a farm on
the northwest shore of Lake Be-
midi, yesterday shot lynx. 1t is
the largest animal of its kind ever
seen in this part of the country.
Mr.. Clavin was walking around
his farm, looking after the work of
cutting the jack-pine, when he
espied the lynx coming out of the
woods into the clearing. "Andy''
rushed to the house and secured the
trusty rifle, and hastened back and
as the lynx was crawling into the
brush, dispatched the animal with
a we'll directed shot.
Mr.. Clavin intends having the
animal mounted and displayed in his
place of business, demonstrating the
fact that we have other than game
animals in this country. 49,. ~.

school officials, and parents, in every
district should jealously guard. The
apportionment received by Beltrami
county from the state of Mime
sofa being about ten per cent of
the school taxes raised.
The average length of term for
the county has been slightly in
creased the past year, which shows
an increase in the length of school
term in the rural districts.
The average wages of teachers in
the rural districts have been in
creased; men S43 to S54 and women
from $50 to S44. This is due to
two causes, first, the districts are
gradually becoming older and re-
quire better teachers and school
boards are willing to pay the addi-
tional money to get them. Second,
at times of the yer, the scarcity of
teachers has some effect on the
amount of wages paid. The average
school officer of Beltrami county, is
an intelligent person and readily
sees the need of having the more
competent teachers.
During the past year eight new
school houses have been built in the
rural districts, at a cost of S13,244,
while last year there we're nine new
school houses built at a cost of $4,-
344. The separate items of the re-

Not Probable to Float Big Bond Issue,
Other Than BY Vote Of
the People.
COUNTY BONDS CONSIDERED
TO BE A GOOD INVESTMENT
Mr.. Rountree, Of the Bonding Com.
pany, Says Be|trami County Bonds
Are a Good Investment.

County Auditor Wilmann has
received word from the bonding
company with which the county
has been trying to do business"
along the line of selling county
bonds, to the effect that the latest
move made by the board to dispose
of bonds to take up outstanding
warrants had, of necessity, been
turned down.
July 9th last, the county sold to
the Harris Trust and Savings Bank
of Chicago $160,OOO worth of bonds
with which to take up outstanding
warrants of the county, in accord
ance with special act passed at
the last session of the legislature,
and known as Chapter 461. After
the attorneys of the Harris company
had consulted the law under which
the bonds were being sold, the
company was advised not to pur-
chase the bonds, and acted afirma-
lively on the advice.
Another attempt was recently
made to float bonds under the pro-
visions of Chapter 65, Laws of 1908,
with which to take outstanding
warrants issued prior to March rs,
1905.
The latter plan has also miscarried,
as the following letter, received
by County Auditor Wilmann will
show:
John Wilmann, County Auditor,
Bemidji, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:-The writer recently
returned to the city and learns that
the county commissioners are not
able to issue the Beltrami County
Bonds that he recently purchased for
the Harris Trust and Savings Bank.
Naturally we are disappointed over
this outcome in our attempt to pur-
chase Beltrami County Bonds. Bel
trami County is one of the most at
tractive new counties that the writer
has visited and we felt confident
that the security was ample for the
amount of bonds your commissioners
contemplated issuing. We hope
that we may secure future issues of
bonds that your county may issue.
I'VE beg to take this opportunity
of congratulating you upon the con-
dition your records are in. The
Annual Financial Statement that
you have prepared for Beltrami
County is the best statement of its
kind that the writer has ever seen in
a rather broad experience in examin.
ing similar statements. It is posi-
BILE for tax payer to easily deter
mine the exact amount of warrants
issued on any particular fund.
Hoping that we may renew our
pleasant personal relations, both
with yourself and the other officers
of the company, we beg to remain,
Yours very truly,
Jno. S. Rountree."

BELTRAMI COUNTY SCHOOLS
SHOW MUCH PROGRESS
County Superintendent w. B. Stewards Annual Report
Shows County Schools in Good Condition....School
Apportionment Ten Per Cent of Tax

Nearly all our readers are inter.
ested in the statistics of the public
schools and with today's issue, we
present you tabulated statemen
made by County Superintendent
Stewart of the fiscal year, ending
July SlSt, 1907.
Bycareful Stndy of the table given,
one may see what progress has been
made in the public schools during
the past year. We noticed in the
independent districts, 1898 are en-
titled to apportionment, while there
are l2S who are not; in the common
school districts 1920 draw appor-
tionment, while +S5 have failed to
attend school the required forty
days.
This year PALS draw apportion-
ment, while last year there were but
22S5, making an additional us over
last year. The results from the
whole state showing a slight de.
crease in the number that are en-
titled to apportionment, while Bel.
trami county, and no doubt all the
rest of the northern Minnesota
counties show an increase, which
means that the falling off of school
population has been in some of the
southern counties.
The matter of apportionment is
quite an item, and one which the
