THAT SHOREY School
Plans Already Under Way to Replace
Burned Building.

Plans to raise money for a new school
building to replace the one burned at
Shorey yesterday morning, already are
under way. 1t is believed likely that a
building to cost from $1,000 to $4,000 will
be authorized, many of the residents Of
the district urging that Shorey needs d
first class house for its school.
Insurance to the extent of about 5000
was carried the building that burned,
and this will prove a valuable nest egg
toward new building. Petitions asking
for the levy of a tax for building purposes
probably will be started in few days.
In the meantime 1t may prove a serious
task to find any place where school nay
be held and the earlier grades may have
to be abandoned for the year. The new
building. it is hoped, may be started
about March 1. and will be finished in
ample time for the beginning Of the next
school year.

No ShOrey School Until After

Old Building Burning EnfOrces
Extra Vacation.
CAN NOT find AVAILABLE PLACE
Suitable Halls Too Far Away
for Pupils.
Suggest Grant School, but
Abandon Plan.

Pupils of the Shorey school which
burned down Friday morning will be
given a vacation until after the regular
Christmas hOiidayS. This is according
to statement made today by +. 2.
Rude, chairman of the board, and
Ralph Skinner, member of the board.
Albert Tomlinson, the other member,
is absent in the east.
However, these two men form a ma
Jointly. They decided that the lack of
suitable place near enough for the
smaller pupils to attend will enforce the
closing of school until a building is
available. As ii is so near the Christ
mas holiday and probably several
weeks will pass before arrangements
for a vacant hall or building can be
made, the board thought it best to
abandon school until the beginning of
the winter term.
1t was suggested that arrangements
might be made to hold school in some
of the rooms of the Grant school.
However, as that building is already
taxed for room without additional pu-
pills and too far from Shorey for the
smaller pupils to come. that plan was
given up.
The Shorey schoolhouse caught fire
from kindling near the furnace in the
Easement.

Messenger saw a team running away
with a wagon south on Central avenue.
And from the wagon came a thin
trail of smoke. Now, Mr.. Messenger
is q brave man and the strange sight
did not scare him. With rare pres
ence of mind he dropped his work and
caught the team. With unusual intel
ligence he imm ediately had decided
that it was best to catch the team first
and find out the cause of the smoke
afterwards. An ordinary man would
have probably caught the wagon first
and satisfied his curiosity as to the
cause of the smoke by climbing in at
the stern end. of the wagon after he
had grabbed hold, and investigating
the mysterious phenomenon.
But Mr.. Messenger first brought the
horses to a halt, and then calmly and
cOolly climbed into the wagon via the
PROV end. Then he saw a man lying
in the bottom of the wagon and smoke
was pouring from the mans pockets.
The man was o. A. Mcclure. The
team had thrown him off the seat
when it had started to run away and
from the ignition of a match the to-
bacco in his pocket caught fire.

cut off. The amendment is designed
to provide against such a contin-
gency.
It may seem like a far cry from
Bemidji to the Panama canal but it
is the producers and consumers Of
the great middle west who will be
the most benefited by the opening
of the canal, providing that the rail-
roads do not throttle them. The
canal will provide a cheaper method
OF shipping from east to west. If
the railroads cannot use the canal,
they will have to reduce their freight
rates. Then the consumer in Bemid-
il will be directly benefited.
