1 PRAISE FOR State High School Inspector| Says Good Things About Bemidji Sehools. MUCH PROGRESS MADE IN PAST TWO YEARS. Says Work of Superintendent and Teachers is Highly Satisfactory. George B. Aiton, state high school inspector, was in the city this forenoon and made an in- spection of the Bemidji schools. Upon completing his examina- tion of the rooms, the methods used and the condition of the schools at the present time, Mr. Aiton made a statement in which he spoke very highly of the schools and expressed much sur- prise at the rapid progress that had been made since his last visit to this city two years ago. “Everything is in first class shape,” he said, ‘“and I have no fault to find with anything in connection with the schools what- ever. They are among the best in the state and I am glad to see the rapid improvement that is being made in every department of the work.” Mr. Aiton spoke many good words for the superintendent, Mr. Ritehie, for the teachers en- gaged at the schools, and for the members of the school board. He left this afternoon for Grand Rapids, where he will spend the remainder of the day inspecting the schools in that village.

Greeley of Big Falls Writes Interestingly of the New Town. [ PREDICTS RAPID GROWTH AND BRIGHT FUTURE. Although Village Has Been Or- ganized Two VYears, It is Really One Month 0ld. (BY A. M. GREELEY.) The prophesies of the pioneers of the Big Fork country are rap- idly being fulfilled. The hopes of the past are taking form in achievements of the present. In the past few years an unpeopled section has become the homes of hundreds of farmers, until today sees few tracts of vacant land, except that owned by the state— that enemy to progress. Big Falls, the village better known as Ripple, the name of the postoffice, has been organized two years, but in reality is only one month old. Last month the railroad reached Big -Falls, giv- ing it the impetus which makes every moment count. No town in the timber belt, sentative Steenerson has decided | however, ever made as good an not to press his reclamation bill, |{mPression to the arrivals on the first train. The new comers appropriation direct for drain-|Were astonished, when stepping After | from the train, to behold a vil- several conferences with Capt, |128e of substantial appearance Minnesota | Tise to greet them from the bor- Drainage league, it was thought|ders of the “Big Swamps.” The stranger beheld miles of streets cut away and partially graded; half a mile of sidewalks laid, 25 business houses, tenanted or un- der construction, including a three story hotel; two churches, a village hall and jail and various industries in the shapeof saw mills—the visible expenditure of at least $200,000, In the past week great things have been accomplished inlaying the foundation for a permaunent city. Several large saw mills are sparring for fayorable loca- tions, steps have been taken for the erection of a large school house similar to tie handsome school at Northome, and the vil- lage has purchased $3,000 worth of apparatus for fire protection. All citizens of Big Falls, new or old, are enthusiastic over the present growth of their town and the prospects of the future and their feelings are founded on sane reasons. It is the center of a timber belt which will be pro- lific in yield for a score of years. It is the trading point of a new section twenty-five to forty miles extant. It is surrounded by a rich agricultural soil. It has a 35 foot water fall capa- ble of ready development, and above all a river feeder for local traffic—a river with thousands of miles of tributari>s which seem commissioned by nature to bring the timber products of ore half of Itasca county to the very door of Big Fallsindustries. This village is the head of navi- gation for steamboats on the Big Forks river and the terminus of the M. & I. branch of the North- ern Pacific. It is the geo- graphical center of Northern Itasca, and therefore a logical candidate for county seat honors, should said county be divided this year. Glanders at Funkley Carfip‘ Deputy State Veterinarian Dr. MecDonald of St. Paul passed through the city last night on his way to the logging camps of of Archie McClellan, near Funk- ley, where two horses are re- ported as being afflicted with glanders. A number of others, itis said, have been exposed, Judging from the advance seat sale a very large audience will greet the return of Harold Nelson at the opera house to- ! night,. and a thorough examination of the affair will be made. The |gla.ndered horses will be shot if SAMARITANS Joint Installation of Lady and Gentlemen Officers Held Last Night.
