telephone communication. which was re-

AT sea, is practically a failure. The sys-

While connection is easily formed be-

proved practically useless and had 10 be
abandoned The feet Is now using the
wireless telegraph system exclusively.
The writer says that failure to preserve
the arc between two sets of instruments
is the cause Of the breakdown Of the sys-

made they are broken and only portions
of the messages can be conveyed The
War Department it is understood. has
not lost hope that the invention will lie

County Officer Filing Fee $40.

Norman County Herald: Owing
to mistake in a law which was
passed at the last session of the
legislature candidates for county
office at the primaries will be COM
PEELED to pay $40 this year. The
law passed was intended to make
the filing fee for representatives $40
for their district and this portion
was enacted but by mistake the
filing fee for county officers was put
at $40. County Auditor Fulton has
communicated with the attorney
general in this matter and received
the following reply:
St. Paul, April 1.
D. E. Fulton, Esq,
Ada, Minnesota.
Dear Sir:
In answer to your letter of the
18th inst. would say that it is the
opinion of this office that candidates
for county office are required to pay
$40 for the privilege of having their
name placed on the primary election
ballot. Members of the legislature
are required to pay only $40. This
office has never given any opinion
to the effect that county officers are
not required to pay more than $40.
Very truly

INVESTIGATING DEATH
OF "bENNY" STEVENSON
Officials Are Not Satisfied With the
Reports First Submitted of the
Recent Tragedy.

Officials of the steamboat inspec-
ton service have directed a second
investigation into the death of
Benjamin G. STEVENSON, son of Con-
gresham Stevenson, who was
drowned at Newport, R. I. about
month ago. This is an independent
investigation, instituted under steam
boat inspection laws and is for the
purpose of determining whether the
master and pilot of the tug on which
STEVENSON was passenger, managed
their vessel properly after Steiner
son fell into the water. The investiga-
ton was not conclusive as the evil
dence developed was not such as
officials thought ought to have been
brought out.
A request was therefore made on
the navy department of transcript
of the record of the investigation
made by officers at Newport station
of the marine corps, with view of
examining witnesses who appeared
at that examination. The captain
of the tug has appealed to Congress-
man Stevenson to intercede with the
authorities here, but the congress.
man refused If found negligent in
the management of his vessel the
master of the tug may loose his
license.

FURNISHING A LIST OF
men DESIRING TO WORK
George WEIGH, the Commissioner OF
immigration, Getting Laborers and
Farmers Into Touch"

George WEIGH, the state commits
sioner of immigration, is doing a
great amount of work in getting
laboring men and farmers together,
with relation to giving employment
to the former.
Mr.. WEIGH has received many
applications from farm laborers, and
he sends out the following circular,
containing the names of men who,
desire to work on farms. AS the
list might be of use to some of the
farmer readers of the Pioneer, we
reproduce it in full:
st. Paul, April 1.
Dear Sir:-I herewith submit
list of names who have applied to
this office for employment on farms.
If any one in your vicinity is in
need of farm labor, I wish you
would correspond direct with some
of these people. I have reason to
believe that many of these men
want to come to the state for the
purpose of making it their future
home, and ultimately buying a
farm, but have asked for farm en-
ployment to study conditions. If
you have returns from any of these,
I would appreciate it if you would
notify this office.

cultivated every week or ten days
throughout the growing season.
The past two years the vines were

cultivated every week or ten days
throughout the growing season.
The past two years the vines were
sprayed for blight though the disease
was not prevalent to any marked
extent.
The treatment used was Blue
Vitoral lbs, quick lime 3 lbs,
dissolved in SO gallons of water.
This is known as Bordeaux Mixture
and may be used for various kinds
of blight.
In spraying the potato vines with
this treatment paris green was also
used with it to destroy the bugs.
In growing potatoes it is advis-
able to grow the same variety
throughout the neighborhood.
Where one or several carloads can
be shipped of the same variety of
potatoes it commands a much better
market. This cannot be done where
every farmer grows a different kind.
In storing potatoes there are
few points that are we'll to consider.
To keep well, potatoes should be
mature, and as dry as possible when
put in the cellar. Use bins to allow
circulation of air, and provide for
good ventilation through the roof.
Dry, cool air is necessary. The
cooler the celler can be kept without
freezing the better. A thermometer
hung in the root cellar is of advant-
age.
AS yet there are not sufficient
potatoes grown in Northeastern
Minnesota to supply the home mar
ket. Hundreds of carloads are
shipped into Duluth and Superior
and the mining towns from other
sections.
The growing of potatoes to supply
this home market may be developed
to advantage of all.
Farmers should cooperate grow a
uniform grade of potatoes, and aim
to put only high grade of potatoes
on the market. Keep the small
potatoes at home.
AS good potatoes can be grown
in Northeastern Minnesota as any
where in the county and it should at
least supply its own market.

From the foregoing statement it
would seem that fifteen thousand, or
even eighteen thousand dollars, if
need be, might be appropriated to
build and equip the much needed
school building, and save us from
another bond issue, which if hoated
would be another mortgage on our
homes. ..
The opposition to the various pro-
positions which have been put be-
fore the people recently by the
board of education has been based
upon the belief that there was and is
enough and to spare in the school
treasury to provide adequate school
buildings .and facilities, therefore it
was not only unwise, but would
have been foolish, to support the
heretofore propositions of the board
of education.
The writer suggests that meet
ing be called to vote upon question
directing the school board to pro-
coed at once to erect a six-room
brick school house on the old Catho-
lie church site, at cost not to ex-
coed fifteen thousand dollars, and
pay for same out of the current funds
of the school district. w..
And, would further have them
admonished to proceed forthwith to
build a school in Mill Park, which
they were directed to do by a large
majority of votes of the district at
the last annual meeting. The delay
in erecting the Mill Park school
may be through forgetfullness, or it
may be due to the strenuousity and
persistency required in the pursuit
by the school board of the ever
elusive and evading bond idea.

SUGGESTS ERECTION OF
SCHOOL HOUSE AT ONCE
D. C. Smyth Makes Suggestions, in
Communication to the DaiIyPioneer,
Concerning School Matters.

(The Pioneer invites brief com.
munication relative to the forth.
coming school election, and also on
any other proposition calculated to
provide more room tor the school
children of the city or the lettering
of conditions, in any way. We do
not necessarily hold the same views
as the writer's, but public discussion
of public matters is what we de-
sire. Editor.)
Bemidji, April 8.
The Editor: Referring to the
latest call for special school meet
ing to vote upon the question of
issuing bonds for fifteen thousand
dollars for the purpose of building a
six-room school house on what is
known as the old Catholic church
site. The question is asked of the
board of education, and they are
invited to answer through the col
umns of your paper, why they think
it necessary to borrow money for
that purpose when it appears that
there are ample funds in the school
treasury to build and equip a six
room school building and still have
in the general fund of the school
treasury at the end of the school
year from ten to twelve thousand
dollars.
The foregoing conclusion is drawn
from the following financial state
ment which can be verified by any
citizen who will take the trouble or
time to visit the county auditors
office.

ton in his last annual report dated
