It is pretty safe to say that those of us who haye no children in the public schools of Bemidji know practically nothing of .the condi- tion of the public schools of this ¢ity while the knowledge of those of us who have children is con- fined to the lop-sided views we get through the children of some particular teacher. It’s a passing wonder that we have anything tc be proud of, so little atten tion do we give the education of our children. THOSE who are opposed to the election of M. D. Stoner for Jnayor do not attempt to say that he would not makea good mayor. They simply say he has been so enterprising as to secure some property in another town. His interests in Blackduck, they say, will make him do desperate dam- age to-Bemidji should he get to be mayor. Since Mr. Stoner is such a dim.gerous citizen we are surprised that he has ‘not been ridden out of town on a rail long ere this. 2 No MORE pertinent suggestion for the betterment of Bemidji has ever been made than the suggestion that a summer Cha- tauqua be located here. There is no place in tLe northwest so suitable for a Chatauqua as this. The plan would draw thousands |’ of visitors to Bemidji each sum- mer. Shall we let a dead com- mercial club keep us from these benefits?

Dr. Blakesleo, the local health officer, has received instructions from Dr. Bracken, of the state board of health, to prosecute all cases where a physician is not called to diagnose contagious dis- eases. Diseases of an eruptive nature are often passed over without® c¢onsulting a physician and the spread of smallpox is often accounted for in this way. The law covering this point is plain and provides a severe pen- alty in case of non-observance. Several cases have recently been developed where a physician has not been called and at_least one death has occurred as a re- sult. Dr. Blakeslee states that no exceptions will be made in the future aud he will live up to the letter of the law. |, There are more cases of small- pox in the county at the present time than at any time during. the winter and the malignant type of the disease is increasing. When smallpox first made its appear- auce in this section four years ago patients were often released from quarantine in fifteen days. There are many cases at present that require a quarantine of sev- enty to ninety days. New cases are being developed daily. There are fifteen at the pest house at present. be-built at Cass Lake so there is hope for the wounded. —0—¢ “Margie” is a popular maid up Ripple way. She is nothing less than a new postoffice. .

LARGE ADVANCE IN VALUES OVER A YEAR AGO. Cedar in Demand and Being Taken Out At a Good Profit By Dealers Generally. The cedar men at the various towns on the northline are jubi- lant over the recent advance in prices for cedar timber. The prices prevailent at present are much in advance of those pre- vailing a year ago and there 1s a strong demand for all sorts of cedar stuff that gives promise of a liberal marlket for the next sev- eral months, Camps at the various points on the north line have been busy during all of the winter getting out cedar in posts, telephone and telegraph poles and other dimen- sions. Nearly everything inthe yards is sold at present and there is a strong demand for the timber. A good market for cedar will mean a great deal to some sec- tions of the north country, where there are some of the finest cedar bodies in the northwest. With the present market there will be work on cedar until well along next summer and the cedar men will find the winter one of the most profitable one they have ever had in this section. Back From Big Woods. J. A. McDonald and M. P. De- Wolf, two well known cruisers returned this morning from a five weeks trip to the big woods in the Rainy river country were theyhave been estimating timber. They walked in from Northome a distance of over fifty miles and have been camped on the Rainy river. They each carried packs of 100 pounds and arriving at their destination made camp an ! have been living in a tent while the thermometer registered tem- peratures that varied from 35 be- Tow to zero. Mr. McDonald says they did not mind the cold. They saw a great deal of wild game but were not molested by wolves and Mr. McDonald says all they saw--were-very anxious to get away from them. Moose are very plentiful in that country and appear to be wintering well. Deeds for White Earth Indians. 350,000 acres of choice agricul- tural and timber land in the ‘While Earth reservation are now being delivered to the 4,300 mem- bers of the White Barth brand of Chippewas who are entitled to participate in the allotments. The deeds are in the form of trust patents from the govern- ment, and are being delivered to the Indians in person by the de- puties of Major Simon Michelet, United States Indian agent at White Earth. Deeds covering approximately | . ORTH rrom HE{ COUNTRY $ The Home of the Caribou. The country in the vicinity of the Big Fork and Little Fork and all through the big swamp is the natural home of the caribou and although the wily creatures are seldom seen woodsmen report that signs are very numerous. At this season of the year the caribou live on moss and“tlie| lichens which are found in the swamps and cruisers frequently come upon spots where they have pawed away the snow to get at their food. They go in herds and in thevicinity of thesturgeon river frequeutly traces of a large herd are being found at present. To Do the Honors. The executive committee of the Northern Minnesota - Firemen’s Tournament association will meet at Cass Lake Wednesday evening. The business session-will be held at Burns’hall and will convene at 8 o’clock. After this there will be a banquet served and the Cass Lake firemen are arranging to do the honors in a manner that i will do them credit. The Pioneer i tend through the courtesy of “Doc” Rutledge. Northome’s First Lodge. Northome’s first secret so- ciety was instituted with the or- ganization of a lodge of Modern Woodman Saturday night. The order starts out with a large membership and encouraging prospects and the institution of the society was made quite a gala occasion, A deputy organizer is 1at the village this week and hopes to organize a lodge of Royal Neighbors. Hard Snow Shoeing. Cruisers and* woodsmen . re- turning this week from thenorth country report that travel thro the woods is very difficult at present. Without snow shoes it is impossible and even then it is a laborious operation.’ The snow shoes sink into the snow a depth of several inches and be- come very heavy before the day’s work is done. Soft weather and a good frost will make the ‘‘go- ing’’ easier. Warming Up at Blackduck. Municipal politics are begin- ning to warm up at Blackduck. Mayor Rolfe will not be a candi- date to succeed himself and sev- eral gentlemen are being dis- cussed for his place. Among other's are Louis Ramdon and Fred Olson. Both gentlemen have considerable followings and the contest promises to be inter- esting. Camp Closed at Blackduck. J. A. Irvine’s logging camp, which has been maintained near Blackduck during the present winter, has been closed down. The camp employed about eighty men and had been in since early in the season. The close was effective yesterdayand completed a very satisfactory winter’s work. Big Falls to Incorporate. suming important proportions and the residents ate anxious for incorporation.
