DYER APPROVES STONE BILL
superintendent of Bemidji Schools
Believes Measure is Good One.

In speaking with representative
of the Pioneer this morning w. P.
Dyer, superintendent of the Bemidji
public schools, had the following to
say concerning the measure which
Representative Stone of Park Rapids
has introduced in the House, which
proposes consolidation and more
actual work along agricultural lines
in the rural districts of Minnesota
schools:
81 believe that the idea of setting
aside a ten acre tract for the use of
the schools in connection with the
agricultural work is good one, and
1 also believe that the idea of build
ing residence for the principal near
the school is alright. The general
idea of the consolidation of the
schools in the rural districts is no
doubt move in the right direction.
The bill has perhaps few clauses
in it which will be changed somewhat
before the measure is made a law, but
taken as whole 1 think that it is a
good one, and should receive the
earnest consideration of the law
makers"

HIGH COURT SLOW TO ACT
If Lid" Case Is Appealed It Will Be
Years Before Decision.

In a recent interview with a re-
preventative of the Brainerd Dis
patch, Judge Mcc1enahan, when
asked what would happen should the
decision of Judge Willard be ap-
pealed, said: "That the usual pro-
ceedure would be to appeal to the
circuit court of appeals of the eighth
district, and from there to the United
States supreme court, where it, would
take from one to four years before a
decision would be reached. ~,
AS some very important cases are
now under consideration in the SUI
preme court it is possible that this
tribunal might take more than four
years to take up and decide the case,
the cid" decision of Judge Willard
be applied"

although Bemidji played hard game
right from the start.

G. c. Crippen's petition is being

in opposition to Charles Swedback,
who is public ownership candidate.
Rumors to the effect that Thomas
Maloy, who was for several terms city
clerk, will be a candidate for the Of
flee of alderman at large, are being
heard today, but it is very probably
that Mr.. Maloy will not become a
candidate, as his health has not been
very good for some time.
George Kirk the present alderman
at large and L. F. Johnson are being
spoken of as probable candidates
for alderman at large, but it very
likely that one of them will not file.,
George Stein, for city clerk, and
Joseph Bisiar, for alderman in the
third ward, have filed their petitions
with the city clerk. as also have the
entire list of public ownership can

this Office will likely start his Pc

Discovery Of Iron Ore at 1ronton on
Guyana Range Benefits Timber
= Barona. a.
ACTIVITY IN NEW DISTRICTS
Vermillion Range Scene of Much Ac-
tivity This Winter-New Ore
Is Discovered.

Brainerd, Mimi. Jan. 3O.-It would
seem that the Weyerhaeuser interests
are to be further enriched by many
millions through royalties from iron
ores on the Guyana iron range at
Ironton. Recently an eastern in
dependent furnace concern secured
from the Weyerhaeusers mining
lease on the south half Of the north
west quarter of section II, 1929,
and placed half a dozen or more
drills at work in exploration work.
If reports are true there has been
located on the west forty acres of this
land what promises to be the great
est discovery of iron ore in recent
years. The ore body so far as at
present known is over $50 feet in
width between walls, while it's
depth is yet unknown, although the
drill have penetrated it to depth of
several hundred feet without reach
ng bottom. The ore is said to be high
above the Bessemer limit and several
Of the holes are bottomed in 81 per
cent ore and better. If this be true,
it marks new era for the Guyana
range, for this unexpected discovery,
rivaling the ore deposits Of the ia
nous VermiIlion range, and far ex-
ceeding the average of the great Me-
saba, is certain to attract he earn
est attention of iron and furnace
men and cause widespread explora-
ton. Drills are, seen at work on
the Weyerhaeuser land, not search
ing for further ore, but to locate a
favorable spot for concrete shaft,
which is to be sunk at once. The
Interstate Mining company of
Chicago, adjoining on the west but
on different ore body, has it's con-
crete shaft on ledge and it is
thought that sixty days more will
see it safely anchored with miners
at work.
The Armour concrete shaft on the
northwest quarter of the northeast
quarter of the same section eleven is
about completed and when that is &C.
complished mining will commence.
On the east forty of the Weyerhaeuser
tract an important ore body has also
been located, and a concrete shaft
will be commenced at an early date.
Adjacent to these are the Heating
and Haley forties where the Inland
Steel company of Chicago is also
preparing to put down a shaft of
concrete.

London, Jan. 30.-The scope of the

auctions as the details of the proposed
measure revealed
Tariff reform newspapers from their
commencement had made light of the
negotiations between the American

Dissatisfied.

Chicago, Jan. 30-Eight thousand
employees of the Chicago City Railway
company threaten to strike unless
agreement is reached within the next
few days on dispute over the inter-
probation of a clause in the working
agreement relative to maximum and
minimum hours of work and minimum
rates of pay.
The working agreement contains a
clause providing that the men shall
be employed a minimum of nine hours
day and a maximum of eleven hours
day.
This clause is interpreted by the
men to mean that the motormen and
conductors shall receive nine hours
pay for any number of hours work
less than nine hours.

Bemidji Pioneer Legislative Bureau
St. Paul, January 3O.-Althoug
the Legislature has been in session a
none of the bills of state wide
interest has come to vote and re-
only has been before
the lawmakers in any form and even
this in not very tangible form.
This would indicate that all hope
of brief session will prove to be
only dream. The expected fight
on apportionment has arrived and
it will delay general legislation.
The Senate is not in session today
but the House met at 2 o'clock and
received the usual grist of bills both
big and small, the mission of most of
them being to let the constituents
of the fond authors know that they
are on the job.
xxx
Two important acts will feature
Tuesdays work of the Senate, one
of them being in a way a test vote
on reapportionment. This will
come when Chairman Hackney of
the Reapportionment -~ Committee
calls for another vote on the resolu-
ton, fixing the future membership
of the Senate at GO and that of the
House at 1875. This is the resolu-
ton which the House passed Friday
and is the same one to which the
Senate previously displayed antag-
onism.
The other feature in the Senate
Tuesday will come at 2 o'clock in the
afternoon when a vote will be taken
on the recommendation of the Sem
ate Committee to continue Senator
Amman of Torah as member of the
Senate, despite the contention of
opponents that he is not citizen
of the United States.
XXX
The county option bill intro
duced in the House last week is en-
joying a few days of quiet rest in
the hands of the Temperance Com
mittee before being led to the
slaughter. In some ways the bill is
not as stringent as some county
option measures, for instance, it
provides that when the question of
saloons has been voted upon, it can
not be taken up again for three
years.
The sub committees of the House
Committee on Reapportionment
have been as busy as bees the past
few days and at this writing it
looks as if reapportionment bill
might be drafted and ready for in
PRODUCTION in the House before the
close of the present week. Quick
action is expected in the House and
it is not unreasonable to suppose
that it is but a question of days un-
til the North knows just what sort
of representation she is to have, in
future legislation. q.
~ Like sore thumb, it is hard to
forget that list of names sent in
from Bemidji as candidates-whe
they were not candidates at all-for
state aid as the result of work done
at Baudette and Spooner following
the forest fire. The list still calmly
reposes in the hands of the attorney
general, but it is growing smaller
day after day, some of the names
originally on it have been taken off.
There is an impression in some
quarters that the real author of the
list is hiding under the name of
Sheriff Hazen. This is an unjust
deduction for while others undoubt-
edly did assist in the preparation of

Butte, Mont, Jan. 30.-Night shifts

the surface when it was discovered
that the powder magazine of the Grey
Rock, on the 130-foot level, in which
are stored 125 pounds of dynamite,
was afire.
After several hours work air blasts
had driven gas back until the fire
fighters could approach within thirty
feet of the magazine, which is smok-

hoped that men will be able to reach
the magazine soon with water. Dyna-
