In the course of an extended speech
against the Aldrich currency bill in the
senate the Republican senator from
Wisconsin, La Toilette. made star
Ting attack on the interests which he
asserted were behind that measure. At
the outset he referred to the change in
the bill, which some had remarked
would ''take the wind out of his sails,"
10y saying that this action had made
his speech more pertinent. He then
undertook to show the connection of
the Morgan and Rockefeller banks.

Lots in Henderson's Addition.

DR.. A. E. Henderson has placed
on sale number of lots in what
is known as Henderson's addition,
on the east side of Lake Bemidji.
The lots are midway between the saw
mills of the Crookston Lumber COM
pany and the Bemidji Lumber COM
pany and are very desirable for
building sites for employees of the
two mills who want homes located
near where they are employed.
The doctor is placing a price on
the lots which is very reasonable,
and his terms are also easy.
The lots on the east side of Lake
Bemidji command a view of the
entire lake, one of the most beautiful
spots in this entire north country.
Those desiring building sites on
the east shore should have talk
with the doctor, as his propositions
are very liberal.

D. ". CARTER INTENDS
MOVING FROM DURING
Is One Of the Oldest and Most Popular
Residents of BeItrami
County.

The many friends of D. w. Carter
of During will be sorry to learn
that the gentleman intends to dis.
pose of all his stock and farming
implements on his excellent farm
near During and will leave this
country to make his home in some
other community.
The recent death of Mrs
Carter was the cause of Mr.. Garter
deciding to remove from this part Of
the country.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carter had lived or
their farm at During during the
past thirteen years and they were
among the first white settlers tt
make their home in Beltrami county
They stuck to the farm despite many
hardships, accommodating consider
able of this worlds goods, which was
invested principally in stock and
farming utensils.
Mr.. Carter intends to hold one Of
the old-fashioned auction sales al
his farm (Which is in Section 27
1902, Town of Quiring) when he
will offer for sale lot of live stock
poultry, farm implements, etc.
Sincere regret is expressed on al
sides that Mr.. Carter has decided tt
remove from this country. He has
always been regarded as one of the
most solid, substantial farmers ir
the county man of sterling worth
ard integrity and very desirable
citizen. Everybody extends wishes
for his success, wherever he may
make his home in the future.

ing Admissions, Must Pay CASH
: No Tickets Wanted.

Hereafter, the Pioneer will make
a uniform charge of 5 cents per line
for local matter inserted in the
paper advertising any entertainment
where admission is charged with
absolutely no exception) with fav-
ors to none
We are forced to this action, as
our columns have been altogether
too well filled with this class of adj
vertising matter, to the exclusion
OF live news matter, and with no
other remuneration to US except a
few tickets to some entertainment
or show which we did not give a
rap" to see or hear, the tickets
hardly ever being all used, and the
price of the tickets, at full rates, by
no means equaling the cost of the
advertising. We are not selecting
any class of entertainment in max
ing this rule.We simply want pay for
our work, and we will be found to
be as literally patronizing these
entertainments as any institution in
the city. But there is such thing
as riding a free horse to death"
We wish to establish this rule:
Pay for your advertising, and we
will pay cash for our tickets. This is
but fair.

Bemidji, March 10.

Mr.. Editor:-Complaint has
reached me frequently that the
proposition to erect a new school
building in the city of Bemidji was
not receiving proper advertising and
that it was my duty, as superintend-
ent of the city schools, to present
the matter and if possible answer
some of the questions that have
been asked.
I think it is conceded without
question that more schoolroom is
not only needed but is an abso.
lutte necessity, the people differ
ing only as to location and the
kind of building to be erected.
Granting, then, that more school
room is necessary. The question
is, what is the best thing to do
for the present and future? I shall
try to be perfectly fair in what
may say. AS I understand the
situation, there is practically no
opposition to the district doing
something to relieve the present
conditions, but there are those who
believe that the present system of
small buildings should be extended.
Others believe that large ward
building should be erected, while
still others believe that it would
be more practical to erect large
combination building that would
accommodate the high school, Sew
enth and Eight grades, and still
have four grade rooms that could
be occupied by the younger pupils

NEW SCHOOL BUILDING is
AN ABSOLUTE NECESSITY

of the vicinity of the building until
the high school will have crowded
them out. This or the latter seems
to have the greater number of sup
porters, but they are divided as tc
the location.
Now let us discuss the several pro-
positions.
To continue the policy of erect
ing small buildings is expensive,
and has always proven unsatis-
factory wherever tried. At the
present time it costs us more to
maintain our three small buildings,
occupying six teachers, than the
large central building with seven
teen teachers.
Our neighboring city, Bralnerd aban.
doned the plan and erected four
large buildings a few years ago.
This plan would also weaken the
grade of work being done as it
would necessitate the placing of
several grades in room.
AS to the second plan, I do not
know just how large a grade build.
ing would be planned for, certainly
not less than an eight-room build
ing, and this would cost not less
than $4,000 to $4,000; and then
we would have no high school
quarter and but one extra room for
future growth. Where is the economy
and efficiency of this proposition?
Now as to the next proposition.
The taking of the high school,
Seventh and Eighth grades from
the Central building would vacate
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-03-10


four extra rooms in the proposed
new building would give room for
growth for several years to come.
The new building could not, how
ever, be used to advantage for the
lower grades, unless located for that
purpose. This brings US to the
proposed location. We all know it
would be impossible to locate a
building where it would please all.
Why should we jeopardize the pros
poets of the new school building
just because the location does not
suit our fancy? The proposed loca-
ton is in a splendid location
for fire protection; in fact, no
better could be secured, it being in
the adjoining block to the location
of the new tank. 1t is in one block
of the present sewer system, which
is another item of no small impor-
lance. 1t is far enough away from the
Central building to take the place or
relieve the situation at the Catholic
Church site. There is no point on
the west side of the lake in this dis
trict from which the high school
pupils cannot reach it with ease
when compared with the nearest
point on the east side of the lake.
1t may, perhaps, be of interest to
some to learn that the larger portion
of our district lies on the east side
of Lake Bemidji.
I understand that some people are
laboring under the opinion that the
bonds carried last spring. To this
I shall say that the bonds did not
carry, as it requires two-thirds
majority vote.
Another point that should be con-
sidered in locating the building is
the normal school proposition which
is coming sooner or later. This
without doubt would be located in
the northern por tion of the city
and will relieve that portion, as
many pupils will be required to
carry on the model department
found in all normal schools.
1t is reported by some who are
opposed to the proposition that It
will double the tax, and in one case
party whose tax is fifty dollars
says that if it carries 1t will be 5000.
Now let us look at the truth in this
argument. The present assessed
valuation of our district is $1,25O,OOO
in round numbers. Interest on $685.
600, proposed bonds at S per cent is
$3.50. To put $4,000 a year in
fund to retire them at maturity in
fifteen years would amount to $3.50
per year. This sum would increase
the rate just three mills. This would
increase the taxes on assessed valu-
alton of $1,000, just So in place in
of $3.50, as the gentleman is claim
ing. If your assessed valuation is
$500 you will have to pay about
$3.50 per year. This is on the
present valuation, which will lower
the rate in proportion.
We would like to correct the state
ment made in the "SentineP' of last

week. The proposed location is not
just north of Smiths Lumber yard"
but is in the third block north of it..
1t seems to me that it IS the duty
of everyone who is voter to give
this matter his special attention be-
tween now and next Thursday even
ing and then come out and vote his
convictions, whether they be for or
against the proposition.
