{ From Shelley Pioneer. J

' (From Shelley Pioneer)
To the Editor of The Pioneer:
The Idaho Republican has been
fearlessly pointing out the faults and
failings of the public school teachers
and should like to draw attention to
/ one more-round chiefly among the
4 gentler sex-and that is Incidence.
| There are exceptions, of course.
But, taken as class, they are usual
~ lazy about the duties they should
scorn to neglect.
In the school room they may do
their work we'll, but from o'clock
OF one afternoon until the next
morning they are simply drones.
They board with the best families
in a country place or small town. and
receive from them the choice of
everything. The teacher is quite an
important factor in the community.
and she must occupy the best room;
the best food hat can be prepared
must be set before her. For this she
pays as small a sum as she cannot
more than SIG per month-and
upon my honor, she is twenty dol
lars worth of bother in any home.
aside from the actual expense of pro-
viding for her.
She takes any favors from any
members of the household as if she
were justly entitled to them, but her
room is SO disorderly that she would
be almost unable to enter when she
returned from school If the good wo-
man of the house did not put it to
rights, and to wash dish or lift one
burden from the shoulders of the
overworked housewife she was never
known to do.
Some will say that teaching all
day makes them unfit for further
1uties Let me tell you that, after
wrestling with unruly children and
problems in arithmetic, no
recreation is more healthful than
washing dishes. My, how some noses

council.of village may by ordi-
nance establish board of health
with all the powers of such boards
under the general laws, but does not
give any any authority to pass ordi-
nances of the nature referred to.
Can the board of education pass
a resolution compelling all the
teachers and school children to be
vaccinated?
It is the opinion of-this office that
question should be answered in the
negative. Subdivision of section
2131, Revised Laws 1905, provides
that; J..
No rule of the state board or of
any bubble board or officer shall at
any time compel the vaccination of
a child, or shall exclude, except dur
ing epidemics of smallpox and when
approved by the local board of edu-
cation, child from the public
schools, for the reason that such
child has not been vaccinated.
Any person thus required to be
vaccinated may select for said pur-
pose any licensed physician and
no rule shall require the vacci-
nation of any child whose physi-
clan shall certify that by reason of
his physical condition vaccination
would be dangerous.
The local board of education has
no power to initiate and enforce a
rule requiring the vaccination of
children as a precedent to their
attendance in school, but such rule
must be promulgated by the
state board. The local board of
education has veto power on the
enforcement of any such rule within
the schools over which such local
board of edu cation has jurisdiction"

The adjourned term of court which
began Tuesday morning is very
liable to be terminated this evening,
at least that was the outlook late
this afternoon, when Judge McClena-
han announced that he would try
to terminate the term this evening.
The case of the State of Mime
sofa VS.. Charles Scrutchin was dis
missed.
Judge McClenahan heard argu-
ments in the damage suit of Frank
Vance of Moose Lodge" VS.. the
Great Northern railway, wherein the
plaintiff was awarded damages in
the sum of $500 in a suit for $780,
900, the suit having been tried at a
term of court held at Grand Rapids,
the arguments this forenoon being
in support against motion on the
part of the defendant railway COM
pany to set aside the judgment.
Judge McClenahan took the matter
under advisement and reserved a
decision on the motion. J. A. Muir
ply of Superior appeared as attorney
for the railway comany and c. C.
Mccarthy of Grand Rapids repre-
sented Vance.
Vance was injured at Bena, some
two years ago, and subsequently sued
the company for $4,000, claiming
that his spine had been broken.
Citizen papers were granted to
the following-named persons: Will
lam George Cunningham and August
Wilhelm Nordquist, of Hamre;
Charley Toufeniam, Cormant; An
drew Hultquist, Atwood; Peter Mar.
tin Ronning, Bridge. The appli-
cation of Michael Joseph was dis
allowed, Joseph having failed to
procure his first papers. The applis
cations of Bertel Hansen Luca,
Hans Anderson and Goffray Fortier
were continued, the witness in each
case not being able to state posi-
lively that applicants had been
known to him continuously for five
years.

bitches WILL RECLAIM
MANY THOUSANDS ACRES
Judge McClenahan Orders Construction of State Drainage
bitches in Koochiching County, -..Court Will Prob.
ably Adjourn Tomorrow

One of the matters taken up in
district court yesterday by Judge
McClenahan was hearing the petit
tons for the establishment of two
state bitches in Koochiching
county.
The judge ordered the construc-
ton of the bitches.
One of the proposed bitches will
bel located south of Big Falls toward
Northome, and will be twelve miles
in length. 1t is estimated that this
ditch will be the means of draining
some $4,000 acres of swamp land
that, when reclaimed, will be as
fertile acres as any in the entire
state of Minnesota.
A second ditch will be between
Littlefork and International Falls,
and will be about eighteen miles
long. Twenty-Five thousand acres
of swampy land will be redeemed
indirectly by this ditch,it is claimed.
The final hearing on these bitches
will be held at International Falls on
February 18th, at the term of court
to be held at that place.
There has been appropriated by
the state some $4,000 for the con-
struction of drainage bitches in
Koochiching county, and this amount
will be assessed against the valuation;
of the state lands benefited by the
construction of the bitches. Koochi-
ching county will also construct
lateral bitches, which will make
very complete system of drainage for
the swampy country up north around
Littlefork and International Falls.
In connection with the construc-
ton of the bitches it is proposed to
follow the suggestions of George
Ralph, state drainage engineer, in
that roads will also be built at the
same time that the bitches are dug.
This can be done, according to close
estimates, for the sum of $500 per
mile.
The construction of the bitches
will be commenced in the near
future, as the state will soon adver-
tise for bids for the construction of,
the bitches; and those who have
assisted in the campaign for drain

VILLAGE COUNCILS CAN'T
QUARANTINE SMALLPOX.
Attorney Generals Office Has Made Ruling ..Nor Has Lo
cal Boards Of Education Power to Require that
Pupils Shall Be Vaccinated

The following, taken from the
columns Of the St. Paul Pioneer
Press, will be of interest to those
living in villages who are interested
in smallpox and the quarantine
thereof: III. ~
Pioneer Press: Strict quarantine
and compulsory vaccination regula-
tons may not be initiated by village
councils or boards of education, but
must originate with the state board
of health, according to an opinion
just rendered on this question by the
special assistant attorney general,
c. Louis Weeks, in answer to letter
from Frank w. Hanson of Rush
City. -
The attorney generals office holds
that, as the statutes do not specif-
cally grant to the village councils
such powers, they do not exist. And
while the state board of health, in
cases where smallpox epidemic ex-
lists, may require all pupils to be
vaccinated, such order may be nulli-
fled by the local board of education
by its refusal to approve the regula-
ton. "
The opinion in part follows:
Can a village council pass an
ordinance enforcing strict quaran-
tine of home where one person is
afflicted with smallpox, SO that none
can leave or enter?
1T is the opinion of this office
that this question must be answered
in the negative. Municipal corpor-
ations have only such powers as are
expressly delegated to them and I
fail 70 find in the statutes any dele
cation of such power to villages.

vised Laws 1905, provides that the

STEVENSON PUTS in
DRAINAGE BILL AGAIN
Measure that Will Benefit Northern
Minnesota Has Been Endorsed by
7 Interior Department.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Represent-
alive STEVENSON today reintroduced
his general drainage bill which he
presented in the last congress and
which he will now seek to have
tavorably considered in the present
house. Mr.. Steenerson's bill has re-
ceived the Endorsement of officials of
the interior department and senators
and representatives from the states
where lands are liable to be included
in the proposed drainage project.
At conference held on Satur-
day between Secretary Garfield
and the senators and representatives
from drainage states the Steiner
son bill was utilized as basis for
discussion, and the only changes
made in it related to the proposed
loan of money to owners of lands,
to be affected by the drainage policy.
The change made covered the pay
ment of interest upon the funds so
loaned, but the general provisions
of the drainage measure are retained.
Mr.. Stevenson will not abate his
efforts on behalf of the bill he has
previously introduced relating to
drainage within the boundaries of
Minnesota, although if the general
bill passes it will cover the Mime
sofa drainage district as we'll as
those of other sections of the coun-

MANY INQUIRIES AS TO
BEMIDJI SUMMER HOMES
Fame Of this City as Delightful Summer
Resort Has Been Noised 81
Abroad.

That there will be a large demand
next summer for Accommodations for
people who desire to spend the warm
months in the invigorating atmos-
phere of of the pines around Bemid j
is evidenced by inquiries which have
been received of late by residents of
the city from people who desire to
come here and "rusticate."
During the past five. years, many
people living in North Dakota, more
especially Grand Forks, and also
East Grand Forks, in Minnesota,
have spent their summer vacations
at one of the settlements on Lake
Bemidji which have been established
by people from the Red River Val
ley.
The excellence of Bemidji as a
summer resort has been spread
abroad by those who have spent
their summers here, and now there
are many who desire to visit this
healthful resort during the warm
months of the summer.
Among those who have written to
local parties is Guy C. II. Corliss of
Grand Forks, N. D., ex-chief justice
of the. supreme court of North
Dakota. A number of the personal
friends of Mr.. Corliss own cottages
either at Grand Forks Bay or Lavina,
and the judge desires to spend his
summers among them on the cool
shores of Lake Bemidii. He has
asked for information concerning
the possibility of securing a. site on
which to erect his summer cottage
and he will, without doubt, be a
member of the Grand Forks colony
next summer. -
