The good ship zoos" is afoat on the
sea OF time. Astoria has launched her
craft. happily and successfully, with fun
and merriment to mark the event. and
a thorough realization of what is be-
fore her.
We are all cherishing the hope that it
win not be as other years; that 1t holds
the germ of greater and soldier things,
and that it will mark the departure
from old and trite conditions to newer
and bolder elements of commerce and
business and that fruition is closer and
surer than ever in our history.
This hope is justifable. There are
promises in evidence we have never en-
loved before, with an assurance, and we
feel they are to be realized on If we
shall but muster our gumption and en-
ergies and forethought in their gather

State Fire Marshal Writes.

Edward Peterson, state fire mar
shall, has issued an official circular
to fire wardens throughout the
state, calling attention to the fact
that many fires during the dry spell
are caused by the carelessness of
children.
Mr.. Peterson's circular on the
subject is as follows:
"A large number of fires are re-
ported at this time of the year as
being caused by carelessness in burn
ing grass and brush.
Besides the great dangers to the
forest regions from this scource
every city and village is seriously
threatened by such fires within it's
limits.
This class of fires are as rule
set by children who recklessly play
with this element of destruction.
Children should be taught early the
danger in playing with fire. If
warnings are not needed they should
be dealt with to the full extent of
the law. Every violation of the law
in this respect should be followed
with arrest and punishment. And
police officers, constabIes, wardens
and fire chiefs should show no
leniency with this class of offenders.
Requests for investigations of
fires sent to this department will
have prompt attention.
Edward Peterson,
State Fire Marshall"

Superintendent RICHIE !
TELLS OF OUR SCHOOLS
Informs Citizens as to What Has Been
Done in the Various
Departments.

[ feel it my duty as superintendent
of the Bemidji public schools to
advise the patrons as to the condi-
lions of our school. The board has
secured the Meyers building, located
at the corner of Third street and
Mississippi avenue, in which four
grades have been placed, namely
the third, fourth, fifth and sixth.
1t has been necessary to engage
an additional room for one of the
fifth grades and the lecture room of
the Methodist church has been
secured for that purpose. Practi-
cally every room IN the entire system
is crowded to over flowing, the two
seventh grades being the only ones
where more pupils might be easily
Accommodated.
The total enrolment of our school
at the present time exceeds the
enrolment of last year at this time
by about 200 pupils. More than
900 pupils are now enrolled in our
schools, and from present indica-
tons the enrolment will reach LOO
before the end of the school year.
We know that some of our school
quarters are not what we would
wish, but under the conditions we
feel that it is the best that could be
secured. Several protests have
come to us regarding the placing of
pupils in some of the buildings, but
we have been guided at all times
by our best judgment, and no par
TALLY has been shown to anyone.
On the whole, our schools are
opening up under as favorable con-
ditions as could be expected. Teach
ers and pupils have settled down to
their work in splendid shape. The
high school has had a phenomenal
growth, the enrolment now being
95, and not having room to seat all
the pupils in the assembly room, we
were compelled to use another room
for that purpose, and at the present
time we are short recitation room.
The high school course has been
extended to include several of the
commercial branches as we'll as the
senior common branches. 1t was
hoped that manual training might
be installed, but from our crowded
condition and inability to secure
teacher, the work has been carried
over to another year.
We earnestly solicit the parents
and others interested in the Bemidji
Public schools to visit US and extend
an encouraging word to the teachers
and pupils. Do not be too ready to
find fault, but if complaints reach
you, kindly make investigation be-
fore passing Judgment.
1t has been our experience that
children see things through childrens'
eyes. Teachers may and do make
mistakes, but in nearly every instance
it is wholly unintentional, and
where differences arise, a friendly
talk with the teacher will give a
clearer understanding of the situa-
ton.
No beginning pupils will be

During the past four or five days
there has been considerable anxiety
lest the fires which have smoldered
IN the woods near here should be
famed by the breeze inro a big fire
and conAagating of considerable
proportions should result.
On Saturday a forest fire ragged
near Rosby but by hard work it wa S
turned in southerly direction and
gradually crept through the timber
towards Nary, skirting that place
eastward.
Yesterday it was reported that
the fire was coming northwa ard to-
ward Bemidji and some men were
sent out from the offices of the
Crookston and Bemidji Lumber
companies to ascertain just how
serious the fire was.
Precaution was taken to have the
lumber piles and sheds of the two
lumber companies wet down during
the past week as a preventative
measure in case of threatening
flames.
The fire has crept steadily toward
Bemidji and today it was realized
that if strong wind sprung up
there was possibility of damage
being done to the city.
A strong wind sprung up today
about 10 o'clock and since that time
the flames have been famed into a
big fire which has been raging south
of Bemidji.
At 3 o'clock this afternoon A. c..
Rutledge of this city telephoned to
Gov. Johnson, requesting authority
to call out Company K of this city
to assist in fighting the fire which
has been raging in the vicinity of
Lake Plantagnet and also west of
there near the city of Bemidji.
| Captain Otto got the boys toge Their
to await orders.
Captain Otto and Sergeant Mark
ham went out to the scene of the
fire to investigate and from con-
clusion as to whether it would be
absolutely necessary for the militia
company to be called to the scene
of the fire. They left at about $3.50
and the company was to receive
orders later.
Reports received over the tele-
phone wires from Lake Plantagnet
state that the fire was sweeping
down the northeast shore of the
lake and threatened destruction to
the buildings at the Jester farm
and at the farm of A. B. Hazen of
this city.
There were also reports from
Sam Marin's farm and A. Cod
bouts farm to the effect that the
fire was raging at a tremendous
rate in the vicinity of their places.
Mayor Pogue went out to the
scene of the fire early this afternoon
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-09-22

and looked over the territory
threatened by the flames.
With the wind blowing in the
direction that it has been for the
last two hours it is not believed
that there is much danger of the
fire getting into Bemidj! but there
is no telling what it might do sho uld
the wind shift and come directly
fsom the east and southeast, so that
really the alarm was we'll founded.
Some miscreants are causing
incendiary fires, during this dry
weather, and should they be caught
at their villianous work they will
undoubtedly be sent to the peni-
Tertiary.
No later than yesterday, some
unknown parties set fire to some logs
belonging to the Crookston Lumber
company, which were lying beside
the Red Lake railroad tracks, at a
point between Werner and Puposky.
Mike Dwyer, passenger conductor
on the M. R. L. & M. railway, dis
covered the fire in the logs when
the Red Lake train was going
north yesterday evening and stopped
long enough to put out the fire.
Several acts of this nature have
been discovered of late, along the
Red Lake railroad, and should the
perpetrators be discovered, the
punishment meted out to them will
be severe.
