Mill Park their children, as they
grew older, would be compelled to
attend that school, and would lose
the advantages of a graded city
school, they were glad to try the
experiment of a bus line.
There is nothing too good for the
childrensof Mill Park, and the Board,
by consulting with the.parents and
installing a bus line is certainly CIV
ing them the best thing possible,
the advantages of a graded school
system.
Mr.. D. c.. Smyth admonishes''
the Board to build the schoolhouse
in Mill Park. If he could thrust a
one-room school upon this people he
would injure them beyond repair.
Perhaps he believes that the chill
dren of Mill Park are not entitled to
as good an education as the chill
dren of the rich. No happier lot of
children can be found than the Mill
Park pupils as they come to our
schools and return to their homes in
their own conveyance.
Maintenance of the bus-line costs
$50 per month.
Maintenance of a school would
cost practically 500 per month.
People of Mill Park are satisfied,
their children are benefited and the
expenses of the school district are
at the same time lessened.
Under these circumstances let
each one answer for himself:
Why does D. c.. Smyth find
fault with the School Board?"

number for the corresponding period
of the previous year.
Minnesota alone contributed to
this expansion an increase of ship
ments of 80 per cent, South Dakota
II per cent, and Wisconsin IS per
cent, while the miscellaneous in
creases equalled 500 per cent. Meat
and pork packing is still the lead
ing industry in Minnesota, Swfit's
alone employing 5000 hands. With
the enormnus acreage which will be
settled in the Northwest during the
next few years it can safely be
stated that so far as St. Paul is con-
cerned, the packing industry is still
in its infancy.
Everything is favorable for big
crop and the result depends on
future conditions. The acreage will
be increased in Minnesota and the
Northwest on account of the in
crease of new farms which have
been opened for operation. The in
crease in barley, oats, corn, flax and
wheat, in the order named, or more
coarse grain as against the larger
acreage in the past of wheat
although the extent of the newly
broken ground insures that the
acreage in wheat will be maintained.

COUNCIL REQUESTED NEW
BONDSMEN FOR LICENSE
Bondsmen Cannot Be Surety on More than One Liquor
License Bond.-Much Other Important Business
Transacted at Last Nights Meeting

On the recommendation of the
committee on streets, the council
ordered Street Commissioner Miller
to grade Bemidji, avenue from Sec
ond street to Twelfth street.
A report was read from County
Treasurer French showing that there
was due to the city $7,404.59 from
the March settlement and City Clerk
Maloy and City Treasurer Cell were
authorized to place that amount to
the credit of the various city funds.
The use of the city hall was
granted to the Bemidji G. A. R.
corps for use on Memorial day and
also to the local lodge of Elks for
use on June IS, 10 and 20, the latter
having changed dates of their state
meeting to June IS, 10 and 20 from
July 6, 7 and 8.
Frank Miller was elected alder
man for the Second ward to fill the
unexpired term of Anton Erickson,
resigned. Two ballots were neces-
sary to elect Mr.. Miller, the other
candidates being A. A. Melges, NJ.
Phibbs, T. J. Miller and Alex.
Cameron. Mr.. Miller was appointed
member of the same committees on
which Mr.. Erickson served, they
being auditing, water and light,
streets and sidewalks, and salaries.
Alderman McCuag was elected
vice president of the council to sue
coed Mr.. Erickson.
City Clerk Maloy was ordered to
advertise for bids for street sprin-
king for the year, the territory to
be the same as last year, the bids
to specify the amount per month.

RULING MAY EFFECT
TOWNSHIP OFFICIALS
Attorney General Says Individual Can
not Hold Two Offices.-Assessor
and Clerk Affected.

From Polk county comes the
statement that Attorney General
Young has rendered decision to
the effect that no person, can hold
the double offices of assessor and
clerk of town boards, the decision
having been made at the request OF
a resident of Polk county.
If the above decision holds good,
there are in Beltrami county several
gentlemen who were elected to the
dual offices at the town elections
held last March who will be event
ually compelled to resign as one
official, in order to hold either office.
There are at least two instances
where the same official was elected
as assessor and town clerk, H. w.
Alsop of Birch township is one, and
B. A. Ronning of Moose Lake town
ship is another; and it is possible
that there are several more towns
that did the same thing.
1t is unfortunate that this ruling
is the law (if the Polk county rumor
lis correct) as it is more convenient
to have the two Offices combined in
one.

Early Morning Fire.

At 2 o'clock this morning fire
destroyed the house belonging to
Frank Fourier, near the Bemidji
Brewery and badly damaged the
homes of John Schuber and Charles
Warner.
Mr.. Fourier had been away from
home for several days and his house
was occupied by his wife and two
children. One of the children was
i'll during the night and Mrs. Fourier
kindled fire in the kitchen stove to
heat some water.
In some manner the woodwork in
the kitchen caught fire and the
flames broke out with such rapidity
that the entire building was soon
one mass of flames.
An alarm of fire was turned in and
the fire department responded
promptly.
The flames spread to the houses
of John Schuber and Charles Warner,
on either side, and they were both
badly damaged.
There was 5000 insurance on the
Fourier house and contents, the loss
of which was estimated at $500.
The loss on the Schuber house
was placed at $3.50 and Warmers, al
a like amount.

'Pick-up" Starts Work North.

The C. A. Smith timber company,
for which concern L. F. Johnson is
the north-country manager, has COM
menced picking up the stray logs
belonging to the company which
are strewn along the right-of-way of
the M. & I. railway from Bemldji
north, and which fell from the cars
as they here being transpor ted south.
The engine and the pickup"
crew and cars will work from Be-
midi north on the main line of the
M. & I. as far as Wilcox Spur, one
mile north of Northome, and on the
Kelliher branch to Burkhart Spur,
near Battle River.
Many logs fall from the cars while
being hauled south. and the pick
up is necessary as large quantity
of timber would be absolutely lost
were it not for this work.

At the meeting of the city coun-
Gil last evening, Maloy & Carrigan
were granted license to sell intoxi-
eating liquors in the City of Be-
midi, and were requested to give a
new bond other than the one
which they presented with Charles
Knopke and Charles Nangle as
sureties, for the reason that the
bondsmen were both already on the
bond of liquor license in this city.
Messrs. Maloy and Carrigan Sc
cured William Ross and T. ]. Miller
as securities and their application
for license was granted. The action
of the council was made necessary
by the state law, which strictly pro-
hibts any person acting on more
than one license bond. The law in this
matters reads as follows:
Each surety shall justify in twice
the penalty of the bond and no per-
son already surety on a liquor
license bond shall be accepted as a
surety on another (2O26)."
This will no doubt effect other
liquor license bonds in this city, and
just what action the council will
take in the matter, if any, is not
known.
An ordinance regarding miscellan-
eous licenses was introduced and
read for the first time. Among other
provisions the ordinance fixes Ii
censes as follows: Auctioneers, SIS;
shooting galleries, SIS; moving pic
ture shows, 500; pawn shops, $50;
dray, SIS for first team and S. for
each additional team; hack, SIS;
nonresident hack drivers, 500;
circuses, 500 per day and each
additional day, $50; hawkers and
peddlers, $40 per day; licenses for
variety shows to be fixed by council.

The unsatisfactory conditions pre-.
vailing across the Canadian line
were emphasized at a recent meeting
of the shareholders of the Grand
Trunk which took place in London.
The company attributed it's unsatis-
factory report to crop failures and
bad harvests in Canada which the
chairman stated had lead to peroid
of depression which still prevails.
While regretting these misfortunes,
quite different picture can be drawn
of conditions in Minnesota and the
Northwest.
The first period of the year has
seen an expansion of business pass
ing through the Union Stockyards
at South Saint Paul which is phenomi-
nal. There has been record break
ing receipts in every department,
and farmers are enjoying values
which are inclined to soar. Take
the slaughtering of hogs for CONNER
cial purposes, as an example, and
there is an increase, for the period
of AZ per cent. In fact 415,477
hogs were sold in South Saint Paul
during the first three months of the
year, an increase of $4,000 on the

The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-04-14

OF public matters is what we de-
sire.-Editor.)
Editor Bemjdji Pioneer:-In a
recent article published in. your
paper, signed by D. C.. Smyth, form
erly clerk of the Board of Education
of Bemidji, the board was admon-
ished" to forthwith proceed to build
school house in Mill Park as
directed by a vote of the people at
the last annual school meeting.
At that meeting there was sub
mitted to the voters the following
proposition:
Shall the Board of Education of
Education of Independent School
District of Bemidji appropriate the
sum of $4,000 from the moneys now
in the treasury of said district for
the puapose of building a school
house and establishing a school in
Mill Park Addition to the City of
Bemidj1.'
This proposition was carried by a
vote of SO to 48.
A canvass of Mill Park showed
that less than twenty-five school
children would be Accommodated by
such a school. This would give the
Mill Park people one-room school
house, with a mixed grade, and heyt
would have no greater advantage IN
the way of a school than are to be
found in any country school. Such
a school, in addition to the first
cost, would require a teacher, fuel
and necessary incidental running
expenses. The pupils in Mill Park
were scattered through all the grades.
IF they attended the Bemidji schools
they would be distributed among
their respective grades in such a
manner as to make an extra teacher
unnecessary.
Under the circumstances on
August 18th last the Mill Park
people, to the number of twenty-five,
upon invitation of the Board assem-
bled in the high school room, and
after considerable discussion they.
were unanimously of the opinion
that they would prefer that the
Board would install bus-line for
this school year with the understand
ing that they did not thereby waive
their right to have a school estab
lished in the future.
The bus-line has been operated
every school day this year, and the
board is advised that the parents
and pupils of Mill park are very
well pleased with this arrangement.
The parents of the smaller children
were at first in favor of school of
their own, because they wished to
keep their children as near home as
possible, but when they realized that
if school should be established at

CASE BADLY MIXED.
Two Men, Deserters, Robbers,
Thieves, Found Not Guilty.

HAVANA, Aug. Ex-Governor Ma
8oon has issued a decree releasing
from the custody Of a provisional
court recently held at Camp Colum-
bia, Corporal Cooper and Private
Cwinnell, Of the Eleventh cavalry wha
were tried by this court on the charge
OF having murdered two Cuban boat
men at the town Of Coloma on March
q last At the close OF the trial the
findings Of the court were submitted
TO Governor Magoon as the reviewing
authority. The case excited the grea.
test interest here, not only because OF
the nature Of the crime itself, but ow-
ing to the peculiar statute OF Ameri-
can soldiers in Cuba
Cooper and Gwinnell were accused
OF having made an attempt to desert,
to accomplish which, they and Private
Fearnley hired boat and secured
the services Of two Cubans. In quar-
rel the Cubans were killed, Cooper
and Gwinnell, claiming that they shot
the men in self defense. Fearnley
turned states evidence but owing to
his past record both in the American
army and abroad his evidence was to.
tally discrcdited.
Governor Magoon referred to Col
onel Crowdcr the judge advocate at
Havana, copy Of the court proceed
ings and findings. The findings de-
clare that the prisoners were not gull
ty.
In his decree Governor Magoon ap-
proves the proceedings Of the court,
but disapproves the verdict OF not
guilty. lnasmuch as no useful result
could accrue from reconyening the
court, he directs that the prisoners be
released from the jurisdiction Of the
courts and turned over to the custody
of the military authorities.
