CLEARWATER LAKE DAM
BLOWN OUT YESTERDAY
Unknown Parties Caused Considerable
Damage.-Dam Will Be Repaired
in Near Future.

Bagley, March 26.-(Special to
Pioneer. 1.-The Clearwater lake
dam, at Neving, Clearwater county,
was, blown out Tuesday night by
some miscreant who had some
imaginery grudge against the owner
of the dam. This dam was built
with proper fshways, and has been
but little used the past three sea.
sons, excepting for the power re-
quired to run the waterworks for the
Neving buildings and irrigation
bitches. 1t was one of the old land
marks, having first been constructed
in 1879 and rebuilt in 1894.
Certain parties expected to build
flour mill and sawmill at the dam
the coming season, which would
have been a great convenience for
the settlers in that section of the
country. How the blowing out of
the dam will effect the project, it is
impossible to say at the present
time.
Later-The mail carrier, who just
came in to Bagley from Neying post
office, reports that the explosion,
which blew out the dam, caused such
a severe shock that all the windows
in Robert Neving's home, barn and
outbuildings were broken and con-
siderable other damage occurred
around Mr.. Neving's place.
The mail carrier states that suspi.
cion rests upon one of Mr.. Neving's
neighbors as having been the party
who blew out the dam and that an
investigation has been started in an
attempt to locate the damblower.
It is reported that the S. P. K.
Lumber, Cedar & Tie company sus-
tanned considerable loss through the
explosion by the flood of water
which was let out when the dam
was removed and which carried
away large Quantity of logs be-
longing to the company, which
were banked on the river below
the dam.

The location is, we believe, as good

that the proposition as put before

business is brisk in that section of

Mr.. Rowe tried case before Judge
Spooner and is enthusiastic over the
treatment he received at the hands
of the court.
In all my experience as a trial
attorney" said Mr.. Rowe, Il have
never appeared before court which
acted with such absolute fairness.

hension and little purely mali
Ieious talk relative to the PROPOSE
ton of voting the bonds.
There are a few of the residents
of the district who are asserting
that the whole $4,000 will be
used to purchase the proposed site.
This if far from true. The school
board has made careful investiga
ton, and member of that body
states that the approximate cost
of the site will be $4,000, and that
the remaining $4,000 will be
used in putting up substantial
building.
The cost of maintaining the three
rooms which the board is now pay
ing for in the downtown district is
more, in fuel and janitor services and
in the payment of six teachers, than
the cost for the big central building,
with seventeen teachers. This is
certainly strong argument in favor
of the proposed new building.
Some of the residents in the north.
western part of the city are entering
a protest against the proposed new
site and declare they are in favor of
the site proposed last year, and they
want the school house built there.
There is now a two-room building
in the northwestern part of the city,
where seventy-dve pupils are in at
tendence. Two more rooms will be
wanted for this school house, sooner
or later, which will take care of that
end of the city.
An absurd claim has been made
by some interested parties who are
opposed to the proposition, that if
the bonds are voted for the new
school house and the school house
erected that the school board will
have the building on Fourteenth
street closed. This statement is
utterly without foundation as the
board has no intentions of closing
the building on Fourteenth street.
Relative to building schoolhouse
in Mill Park it would cost us $50
a month to bring the children over
here, and it would cost us $50 a
month for a teacher over there.
There are about thirty scholars,
and these thirty scholars are scat
tered through six grades. If these
are spread out through the six
grades in the Central building we
would not have to employ any other
teacher. If we put a schooIhouse
in Mill Park we would only be giving
the children a little country school.
