.LUMBERJACKS BECOMING
AN EXTINCT RACE OF men
Continued from First Page

Continued from First Page
an under-cutter had to prove it. He
was given an ax-bit, told where
some oak trees might be found, and
he made his own ak handles. Now
there is handy-man for each camp,
who looks after such things. The
old sawyers, who filed their own
saws, have passed out of the game.
There is filler in each camp now
who files for all, and the man
who once prided himself on being
able to point up his saw just
right, is now denied that priv
lege.
And in the method of loading
the sleds there have been great
changes. The sled-tender of old is
now called the leader, and the
ground-loader who steered the logs
up the skids and kept them straight
in the loading chains by throwing
sag'or cutting her short with his
canthook, is no more. His place
has been taken by two iron hooks,
which are driven into the ends of
the log to be loaded, and the steam
hoist or horse jamber raises it to the
sled, where the top-loader puts it in
position.
with these radical changes in
methods it is not surprisig that the
different class of men has taken to
the work, supplanting the real lum-
berjack. Of course many of the
old-timers still follow the woods.
Perhaps some of the best known
lumberjacks of the old school, still in
the business or who have been within
recent years, are: White Pine Tiger,
Jack Shine,' Dell Gaffeney,' 'Squeal,
ing Hickey, Tom Ward, Tom
Radigan,' Black Pat Sullivan,
Single Eyed Murray, Jim Pratt.
Russ Harmon and Long John
Campbell. These men are we'll
known around Blackjack, Bemidji,
Grand Rapids and throughout North.

Tom Ward has retired from
active work and was selling hospital

CLAY and WiIkin for LaF0iIette.

Telephone messages from Crooks
ton this afternoon are to the effect
that the convention at Fergus Falls
instructed the Clay county delega-
ton to vote for Corliss of Fergus
Falls for delegate from the southern
part of the Ninth district to the
national convention. This will in no
wise effect Mr.. Kaiser, as two dele
gates are to be chosen.
The same authority says that
Clay county would probably endorse
LaFollette before adjourning, as
would also Wilkin county.

ton. He then returned to Eau
Claire and began the practice of
law.
Mr.. Sameulson went to St. Paul in
1899 and practiced law in that city.
Mr.. Sameelson accepted a position
of private secretary to Judde Jaggard,

LITTLE KENNETH M'IvER
VICTIM OF APPENDICITIS
Youngest Son OF Mr.. and Mrs. K,
Mclver Died yesterday.-Was
Popular Boy.

Kenneth McIver, the S-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. K. McIver died
yesterday, after a brief illness, with
an acute attack of appendicitis.
The death of the boy came as
shock to the many friends of Mr..
and Mrs. McIver, it not being gener-
ally known that little Kennith was
i'll, and heartfelt sympathy goes out
to the bereaved parents in their hour
of trouble.
The funeral services will be held
at the McIver home, 331 American
avenue, Sunday afternoon, at $50
and Rev. S. E. P. White will oficiate.
The silver cord is loosened, the
golden bowl is broken, the dust has
returned to the earth as it was; the
spirit has returned to God who gave
it. The devoted boy who remembered
his creator in the days of his youth.
ere the evil days came, or the years
drew nigh when he should say I
have no pleasure in them, has fin
ished his course and reached the
heavenly goal while yet an infant in
the race of life.
Only the memory of the lovely
boy is left, yet how sweet, how up
lifting it's influence. For, after all,
death is but the slipping off of the
outer body.
Kenneth McIver was born at
Walker, Mimi, February 5, 1900,
and was the youngest of four sons
of Mr.. and Mrs. K. McIver. The
little fellow moved to Bemidji with
! his parents the year of his birth,
and has been one of the bestowed
of the younger boys of the city ever
since that time.
Always of a gentlemanly DISPOSE
ton, and courteous and Industrious
little Kenneth was very popula r
with old and young alike.

Dep!Ores Lack of School Room

(The Pioneer invites brief COM
munication relative to the forth
coming school election. and also on
any other proposition calculated to
provide more room for 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 9.
To Editor Pioneer: trust you
will publish in your daily paper this
brief article on the School Question
am half afraid the majority of
Bemidji people do not take enough
interest in our public school, which,
it seems to me, is the most essential
thing in the development of our city.
The lack of school room is the
greatest hindrance to the growth Of a
city, as people with families will not
come to a place without sufficient
schools. Can we blame them?
Thanks to the faculty and board
of education, our city schools are
above the standard. Why should
we lower this by not providing room
for more pupils, or more room for
the pupils already attending school?
1t is impossible for the teacher to
do justice to the pupils in an over
crowded room.
I visited the schools few weeks
ago and found thirty-three pupils in
one class in one of the lower grades,
and at least twenty-five in another
class in the same room. Is it the
teachers fault if these children do
not progress as rapidly as they
should? No. the fault Of the citi-
,ens of Bemidji.
In showing the city to prospective
buyers, would we be proud to point
'ut some of the buildings where
school is kept? For instance, the
Sd Catholic church building, and
he school across from the Mark
lam. Where is the play ground for

MORE ROOM NEEDED
Dallas Must Provide For Rapidly
Increasing Number of
School Children.

At the meeting of the school directors
Tuesday evening it was decided that
more school room has become neces-
sary, and steps will will be taken this
summer to arrange either for the
enlargement OF the present school
building, or the erection of another to
accommodate the increasing number
Of school children requiring entrance
into our public school. When the
building now in use was first finished,
it afforded ample room for the limited
number of pupils, but the addition Of
the high school. grades, combined
with the rapid growth of the city's
population has, within few years
time, filled it to overflowing and now
the directors are facing the alternative
of either abolishing the ninth and
tenth grades, or of securing more
room.
The benefits derived from the addi-
ton Of the high school work have
been so apparent that it is doubtful If
the patrons of the school would be
willing to have them abolished, so it
is quite probable that Dallas will have
q new school house before next Fall,
or at least will have an addition built
sufficient to accommodate the vastly
increased number Of pupils attending.

GOVERNOR in DALLAS
Talks to Audience That Comfortably
Fills COurthouse-Defends
His Record.

Governor George E. Chamberlain
addressed a large crowd Of the men
and women Of Dallas at the Court
house, Wednesday night.
J. G. VanOrsdel, chairman Of the
Democratic committee in Polk county,
presided over the meeting, and Hon.
N. L. Butler introduced the speaker
Of the evening with a short and witty
address.
Mr.. Chamberlain began his address
by declaring that he had been drawn
into the campaign contrary to his
expressed desires. but since he had
entered it, he intended to make as hard
and consistent fight as it lay in his
power to make. Briefly outlining his
policies aud the course he intended to
pursue, should he receive the election,
Mr. Chamberlain devoted the latter
portion Of his speech to defense
against the attacks that had been
made upon him, speaking especially
upon the subject Of his alleged abuse
of the pardoning power.
During his entire address Mr..
Chamberlain always alluded to his
opponent, Fl. M. Cake, In most cour-
teous manner, maintaining that
although their political views differed,
they were the warmest Of personal
friends.
AS Mr.. Cake, in all Of his speeches
throughout the state. has carefully
refrained from abuse Of his Demo-
cratic opponent, it would appear that
the personal element Of the campaign
has been confined to few over-zealous
newspapers on both sides, leaving the
real issue between the two candidates
where it ought to be-purely one OF
party principles and party poll
cies. The voters Of Oregon fully
understand the situation and will vote
accordingly next Monday.
