Sophmore Party.

The sophmores of the Bemidji
high school held a reception Satur
day evening in the school house and
there was considerable doing
around there during the evening.
When the twenty or more soph
mores were enjoying themselves to
the greatest degree some of the
seniors of the high school cautiously
hove into view and locked the whole
bunch in the school house, and the
sophmores just saved their grub
from being purloined by the narrow.
est of margains.
The sophmores remained prison
ers until near the midnight hour.
In order that the seniors might
not be aggravated by the sight Of
the kids devouring the viands (which
had been furnished for the evening
and which the seniors had been un-
able to appropriate to their own
nefarous purpose) the lights were
turned off until the feast was ended.
The sophmores made their exit
shortly before the holy Sabbath (by
the dial) and it might be recorded
that the seniors ate their lunch
down town.

IA FEW SUGGESTIONS AS
TO SCHOOL ELECTION
Many Wrong Statements Are Being
Made Relative to the Coming
Bond Election.

AS the time for the school election
draws near, more rumors, founded
upon Imagination only, are spread.
Some people pretend to think that
bonds previously voted upon have
been hoated and that this is an ad-
ditional bond. The board did try
to float the bonds voted last spring,
but failed to do so, the bonds not be-
ing carried by two-thirds majority
vote.
Some people claim to be opposed
to the issue because. they think it is
to be an exclusive high school build
ing. AS we understand it, this has
never been the contention of anyone.
Articles written have always claimed
it to be a combination building,
with room for the high school,
seventh and eigth grades, with three
or four glade rooms to spare. This,
in our opinion, is one of the best
arguments in favor of the proposed
location.
The removal of the high school,
seventh and eighth grades from the
Central building will vacate six
rooms there. These, with the extra
rooms in the proposed building, will
give US considerable room for growth.
Every one admits that the present
Central building is centrally located.
The proposed location is far
enough away to serve as ward
building for the people in the south
west part of town and close enough
to the central building to serve as
a splendid location for high school
building, while, if it were placed
north as some would have it, it
could not be uaed for a ward build
ing, thus necessitating the erection
of two buildings. To place it on
the present grounds, with the central
building, would be cumbersome,
unsightly and costly, as it would
certainly raise the rate of insur
ance; and, in case of a, fire, might
cause US to lose both buildings.
There are still others who argue
for an addition to the central
building. This idea will not admit
of argument. as it is generally rec.
ognized and admitted that patch.
work is not profitable and neve,
satisfactory to anyone. Besides
it brings too many children together

Ellis Residence Burned.

The home of V. L. Ellis, 1O1e
Dewey avenue, was, together with
its contents, completely destroyed
by fire at an early hour this morn
ing, the occupants of the house
barely escaping in time to save theil
lives.
The fire is thought to have origi
mated from the cook stove or chin
ney and had gained great head
way in the kitchen before bein}
discovered, after which the entir'
house of eight rooms was quickl,
wrapped in flames. Mr.. Ellis awok'
just in time to save the lives o
his wife and two children.
Mr.. Ellis returned late last nigh
from band rehearsal, and kindled
fire in the kitchen stove in orde
to make some coffee, and it wa
from this that the building is though
to have caught fire.
The loss is estimated at some
thing over $4,000, partially covered
by insurance.
Mr.. Ellis will rebuild in the nea
future. ......
Mrs. Ellis returned last evenin,

He Likes Bemidii.

Roy Burkhart, the Crookstor

day afternoon, after having spent
two days in Bemidji, looking over
the city with the intention of start
ing factory.
Mr.. Burkhart was greatly i'm.
pressed with the go.ahead spirit and
harmony which prevails here, and
he took an option on a location fol
his factory; and he will undoubtedly
return here in the near future and
engage in the making of cigars of
the best brands. He is a "gradu.
ate" of the famous III. F. Brown
factory at Crookston, than which
there is no better in the north half
of the state, and is personally fine
cigarmaker. In addition, Roy is a
LIBERAL fellow and would make a
good citizen of Bemidji.

the committee authorized to make
the alterations at once.
City Attorney Gibbons reported
that the Crookston Lumber company
would give a quit claim deed to the
city for part of the city park which
is wanted as site for the new
public library building, which will
be known as the Carnegie Library.
A resolution was passed authorizing
the city attorney to take the proper
steps to have vacated the end of
Fifth street on Bemidji avenue to
the lake for the use of the Carnegie
Library site.
A petition was submitted to the
council wherein the board of county
commissioners were asked to ap-
propriate the sum of $500 to-
wards the payment for a new steel
bridge across the Mississippi river
between Lake Bemidji and Lake
Irving, the city having already
appropriated Like amount as its
one-half of the cost of the bridge,
which is estimated at $1,000. Alder
men Smart, Rhea and w. A. Gould
the finance committee, were ap.
pointed to present the petition to
the county board.
The city clerk was authorized to
advertise for bids for the manage
ment of the city hall (known as the
city opera house), reserving two
nights a week for the use of public
meetings of the city, etc., and in
addition reserving July 6, 7 and 8
to be used by the Bemidji lodge Of

and increases the danger of STAN
pede in case of fire, which has
been brought to our minds all to
forcibly by recent disasters.
We are informed that next year it
will be necessary to have two more
rooms dows town, or allow only
half day sessions. Parents, voters,
your children may be among the
unfortunate ones next time to be
placed in some building unfit for
school purposes, or be allowed to
attend only half time.
1t may not be many years until
some of our mills will be through
work here and removed to other
localities. Why not give them a
chance to help pay for our buildings?
However, the additional bond of
$4,000 will not make it burden
some upon any one. To pay inter
est will not cost more than to pay
rent. While interest and $4,000 a
year to retire the bonds it will not
increase the taxes but $3.50 on the
$1,000 assessed valuation and, if
carried out as proposed paying
$1,000 year it will cost less than
81 on the $1,000 valuation. This is
not in addition to no school as the
pupils must be carried for some
where. =.
AS we understand it, it is rule of
the state high school board that each
district drawing state aid of 1900
per year, must own its school build
ings. We are running risk of hay
ing this cut off at any time if suit
able quarters are not provided. The
conditions here are not known to the
authorities as the State Inspector
has not been around this year but
may be expected at any time.
Looking at the proposition from
all sides, it seems to us that it is
safe proposition to vote YES.

SHERIFF BAILEY HAS GOT
HIS man, IN CALIFORNIA
Arrested Roland Patterson, Wanted for
EmbezzIement, and Will Bring
Him to Bemidj.

A telegram was received at the
office of Sheriff Bailey this morning,
from the sheriff, who has been at
Los Angeles, California, that he had
apprehended and placed under ar.
rest, Roland Patterson, who is
wanted in this county on the charge
of embezzlement, claimed to have
been committed at Baudette, MINI.
It is said that the operations OF
Patterson we're very extensive and
that his shortening" amounted to
a sum that would require five fig.
ures to correctly state.
Sheriff Bailey has been on the
trial of Patterson for some time, the
latter having left Baudette suddenly,
and gone west, as was afterwards
ascertained.
The sheriff ascertained that Pat.
terson was in California, and left
quietly week or ten days ago, 60.
ing to Los Angeles, where he has
succeeded in catching Patterson,
whom he will bring back to Bemidj il
for trial.
The case of Brown VS.. the Doug.
las Lumber company ct al has been
on trial all today and will probably
not be concluded before tomorrow.
