LIBERAL SCHOOL Bill,
WILL BENEFIT WARREN
Local State Aid VIII Be Increased An.
proximately $1,000 For Next
Year.

The state aid for schools bill passed
by both houses of the state legislature
last week is one of the most liberal and
constructive measures ever passed in
the interests Of state schools and a
big step forward for education in Min
nesota, according to G.. HOlmquist,
superintendent of the Warren schools
As a result approximately $1,000 more
IN state aid will become available iDT.
fhe Warren scllut,,i II L.: fall 81 ss.l2s
The bill also makes liberal provision
for classes of defective students and
children too far from schools to attend.
One of the features Of the bill which
will give increased revenue to the War
rem schools is the provision whereby
the tuition Of the nonresident student
is increased from So to 81 per month.
This will mean--an approximate in
crease of revenue. for the Warren
schools from this provision of about
$4,000, as in general more than one
third Of the high school students in
the Warren high school are nOn-resi-
dent. Z.
The bill cuts out the special con-
sOlidatiOn aid and also the high school
aid is cut from $1,SOO to $1,000 but
given $500 elementary aid. The asso-
ciated aid remains as it is now. The
aid for the purchasing of books for the
library is nearly doubled, being raised
from $50 a year to $50. The building
aid is also increased from $1,000 to
$4,000. Children too far from school
district to attend are allowed $50 for
their care.
The provisions of the bill will not
take effect until the next school year
starting in the fall and the money will
not be available until the fall of 1922.
However, with the assurances Of the
increased state aid Warren schools may
be conducted with that in view. Ac-
cording to Supt. Holmquist in consider
alton of tentative figures in accordance
with the provisions of the bill, Warren
schools will receive approximately 81
600 additional state aid as the result
of it's passage.

Lyons House, Once Leading Hostelry,
To Give Way For New
Garage.

The Lyons House, which was the first
building erected in Warren, is now, be-
ing dismantled to give place to a large
np-to-date garage to be built by the
Warren Auto Co From Col. A. p. Nc
Intyre who knows more about the early
history Of Warren than any other man
now living, and who had q great deal
to do in making that history, the Sheaf
has obtained few facts in regard to
this old landmark. Mr.. Mcintyre saws
that the Oldest part of the building,
namely the south half, was built in
1873 by Amose Z. Miner, the father of
Mrs. a. B. Nelson, OF this city. Mr..
Miner conducted the hotel for a couple
Years or thereabouts.
For many Years it was Warren's only
first Glass; hotel for the accommoaa-
ton of the travelling public. The
Great Northern railroad was built to
warren the same year as the hotel was
erected. namely 1878, the place being
then known as Farley, named in honor
OF 4 Mr.. Farley who was the receiver
for the Dutch bondholders of the road.

later known as the st. Paul, Mime

thern. The railroad company did not
intend to locate the town on the pres
ent site on the river, which was school
land, but on lands of their own either
north or south Of the river about a
mlle.1 But the settlers liked the river
site and finally a townsite company
was organized by Ethan Allen, j. P.
Nelson and A. %. Johnson, the site ac-
qulred and the town laid out and
named Warren In honor of Mr.. Warren.
general manager Of the railroad. The
first post Office was located in one
corner of the hotel and was named
Farley, Mr.. Miner being the first post
master. Eater when the name OF the
town was changed to Warren some
difficulty was encountered in changing
the name of the postoffice for the rea-
son that there was another post Office
by that name in the state, the govern
ment not allowing two post Offices of
the same name in one state Mr.. Nc
lntyre says that efforts were finally
made to induce the other post office.
which WAS in Winona county to change
It's name. thus permitting the change
from Farley to Warren for the post
Office here. The hotel also became
known as the Warren House.
Many i,raprietars have eonducfed the
hotef, either under lease or ownership,
since Mr.. Miner quit the business.
Mark Stephens operated the hotel for
quite while in the early 1906.
George Bohan, Of st. Paul, conducted
it for time. VIM. Bolton, one of War
ren's old timers, was the proprietor for
some years around 1885, Dan Robert

TO APPEAR FOR SENTENCE

William Marquette, who lives near
Radium and plead guilty to the charge
of grain stealing last Saturday, will
appear before Judge Grindeland for
sentence May 5. According to the
charge against him, Marquette stole
considerable grain and sold it. He was
brought to Warren and pleaded guilty
at preliminary hearing. He was re-
leased to appear later for sentence.
The case is one in which the accused
seems to be more victim of circum-
stances and present stringent financial
stress than Wilful criminal intent.
