SCHOOL ELECTION TO
Be HELD ON SATURDAY
Two Vacancies to be Filled-Nels
Loitved Given Cement Walk -
Contract.

Nels Loitved was given the con-
tract for constructing cement walks
around the school houses at the
meeting of the school board held
last night. The work will be started
at once and is to be finished in
three weeks.
At the annual school board election
to be held in Central school building
Saturday night, two va cancies are
to be filled. The terms of Graham
Torrance and T. ]. Andrews expire
and the places will be left vacant.
Mr.. Andrews said last night in
board meeting that he would not
be a candidate for reelection and
Mr.. Torrance has not come out
either.
1t is the wish of the board that
the citizens nominate and elect to
the vacancies men in whom they
have confidence and want on the
board. AS there are no parties and
no conflicts on board. the only way to
nominate a person is to vote for him
at the polls. These will be open for
at least an hour from ] p. m.
Notices of the election were
posted at the Postofice, city hall,
and courthouse. The election is an
important one as the men elected
spend over $4,000 year, elect the
superintendent, teachers and are
responsible for the conduct of the
schools.
Women have a right to vote in
school elections and the board urges
that all men and women go to the
polls Saturday night and cast re.
preventative vote. &c.

Are on the List For Conference
Visitors.

enough rooms have been offered for
the housing of the delegates to the
Bemidji Bible conference to be held
here July "a to 81. Only ten days
remain to get things in shape before
the first day of the conference, and
those in charge are anxious that the
room question be settled at once. T.
Letters are coming in daily to
the committee asking that rooms be
reserved and if the committee is un.
able to obtain the rooms, those
writing will be forced to stay away.
Two lists of rooms are being kept,
one by Reverend White and the
other by the Pioneer, and those
wishing to rent room for the week
are asked to place it on one of the
lists, together with its location and
price.
The committee has been informed
that some people think that the
rooms are to be donated, but that is
not the case. The delegates will pay
for what they get, and the price OF
the room will be placed on the list
opposite the location.

out that late in the war blankets

CARBON|C ACID NOT GUILTY
Headache in Theatres Due to Stagna-
ton of the Air.

London, July 1.-THE danger of
an excess of carbonic acid gas in
the air, the property which makes
an over crowded, stuffy room so
unpleasant, has been robbed of all
its terrors as the result of an expert
ment carried out at the London
hospital.
TO eight perspiring, shirt sleeved
students. crowded in an alright box,
five feet long, five feet wide, and
seven feet high, breathing their own
expired air over and over again, at
temperature of IS degrees, Fahren-
heit, is due the proof that carbonic
acid gas, formerly considered such a
deadly poison, can be breathed with
impunity in doses forty times as
large as the law allows.
In their Theoretically sealed box
the eight students experienced all
the sensations of gradual suffacation
for three-quarters of an hour, until
the carbonic acid gas rose to 4 per
cent. A stuffy theater atmosphere
might contain one-thirtieth OF l per
cent. Peering through the large
glass windows in two walls of their
prison Professor Hill and his assist
ants could note their perspiring,
flushed cheeks, quivering nostrils,
and general air of physical discom-
fort.
When the air temperature from
their breathing and the radiation
from their bodies drove the Their
mometer up to SO degrees Fahrenheit

about6S degrees), Prof. Hill shouted:

HIGH 500 OFFICIALS
LOOK OVER LOCAL WORK
Are on Their Way to Dakota Wheat
Fields-Chief Engineer Spends
Day Here.

Edmund Pennington, president of
the 500 line and head of all the 500
interests, was in Bemidii for an hour
this morning. With him were
George R. Huntington, the general
manager, and Thomas Green, chief
engineer. Mr.. Mcmillan, of Min.
neapolis, was also a member of the
party. .--- +.
The officials stopped here while
on their way to Thief River Falls
and then out through the Dakota
wheat fields. They had been up on
the Guyana line, which runs from
Duluth over the Iron Range. This
line was built by the 500 last year.
George M. Huss, division en-
gineer of the 500 for this division,
was with the party while it was
here this morning. They looked
over the work which has been
accomplished and saw just how it
was going to look when completed.
They were particularly interested in
Moberg's steam shovel and watched
it work for several minutes. ...
The special train came in over
the Great Northern and was side
tracked while the inspection was
made. 1t pulled out at 1880 and
took the party to Erskine. From
there, the special will 60 to Thief
River Falls and then over the 500
liue into the Dakotas. Mr.. Mcmillan
is a grain man and he is particularly
interested in the wheat crop. A
thorough inspection of the 500 grain
fields will be made. -
Mr.. Green went to Cass Lake
this noon and will return on the
evening train. He will go to
Minneapolis tonight. The rest of
the party will return to the Twin
Cities over the 800 main line.

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS
OBJECT TO CRITICISM
Maintain That Reducing Taxes of Large
Land Companies is Not
Violating Duty.

Some criticism has been directed
against the county commissioners
for reducing the taxes of some of the
large companies and they are resent
ing the implication that they are not
doing their duty and are favoring
the larger interests.
The trouble seems to arise over
the fact that assessments are made
on land for two years on the even
years. Many of the land companies
have taken the timber off their land
the first winter after it has been
assessed and have objected to pay
ing the same tax the second year as
the first because the land then lost
much of its value. In a case like
this, the commissioners have reduced
the taxes.
L. 0. Myhre, county commissioner
from the Third district, has treated
the subject in the following COM
munication:
To the taxpayers.-As I have
heard from different sources that the
county commissioners are blamed
for favoring the land companies in
reducing their taxes, to such parties
who do not seem to understand why
this has to be done, I would say that
in many cases the county commits
sioners have to recommend some ap-
plications for tax Attachments if they
are 10 act impartially.
For example, suppose piece of
land has $4,000 worth of timber on
it and all real estate is assessed every
other year. If the timber was taken
of during the first winter after the
assessment and the spring of the odd
numbered year, the county auditor
levied on the land for the original
valuation, which would not be right.
If the county commissioners did
not grant an abatement on this tax,
the same amount would have to be
paid the year after all the timber was
taken off as was paid when it was
all there. The commissioners do
not think that this would be fair and
in such cases recommend tax
abatement and still do their duty.

Commissioners Third district"

TELECRAPH|C SPECIALS.

Seattle, WASH, July 13-The
arrival of the Chicago Manu."
subsidized Japanese liner, with
cargo of 1900 carcasses of hogs, has
opened up new channel of Pacific
commerce.
The 1000 carcasses of hogs were
loaded at Hongkong, China, and
were sent to Seattle as an expert
ment. Several dozen independent
retail dealers snapped up the supply
at 3 to 5 cents below the price asked
by the packers here and patrons of
these retail dealers, say they never
tasted such delicious pork.
The importers of this consignment
of pork are in the hog breeding bust
ness near Hong-kong and their hog
pens spread over a large territory.
Local meat packers are investiga-
ting and using all their influence to
prevent the importation of any more.
1t is said that a carcass of pork
can be brought across the Pacific
ocean in cold storage cheaper than
it can be hauled from the Twin Cities
to the Pacific coast cities.
