County Auditor Wilmann sug- gested that some agreement should be reached whereby live- stock would be assessed uni- formly. The chairman read the law as to the valuation of assessable property. Mr. Tury suggested that the assessors should read the oath to every person who was assessed and have the assessment signed. Opinion as to what percentage livestock should be assessed was general as being at about 50 or 60 per cent. On motion the chair appointed N. O. Otterstad, Wil- liam Schroeder and William Neudeck a committee to furnish a list to the assessors as a guide in making assessments of per- sonal property. The committee furnished a list as a schedule for personal prop- perty assessment, which was ac- cepted by the assessors present at the meeting. The meeting of the assessors wasg a very harmonious and bene- ficial one. face and arms and a dislocated arm. It will be several days be- fore Mrs. Stewart will be able to be around again. The Missionary society meets at the home of C. W. Jewett next Monday evening. The committee has prepared an interesting pro- gram and extends a cordial in- vitation to all to attend. Mrs. E. J. Taylor, who left & week ago last Monday for a trip to her old home in New Yorlk, was taken sick at St.{Paul, and returned home Saturday evening. Mrs. C. W. Conway has been a patient at the Blackduck hospital for several days, being threat- ened with pneumonia. She is recovering. Terry Lennon, the man whe broke C. Peterson’s jaw one day last week in one of the saloons, was arrested at Bemidji and brought up last Saturday night to face the charge of assault. He was taken before Justice Parker where he plead guilty and was sentenced to pay a fine of $25 and costs, amounting in all to about $45. He has made several unsuccessful attempts to pay the fine and will probably have to serve a jail sentence of 40 days. Do We Need a High School Building? The election to be held for the purpose of voting upon thé erec- tion of a high-school building on Minnesota avenue and Twelfth street has caused considerable discussion. Some of our citizens have suggested that it is exped- the intention of the board to take care of these pupils in the high- scheol building as soon as one can be erected. The following table has been compiled by Professor A. P. Ritchie from his records, and from it way be seen at a glance i & R that the proposed site is admir- distance between Bull Run and|pscers that raced last year, Copvight 1907 wool “"Wooltans,” $12 and well worth $18 A Blient to build a high school at this |ably located for the accommoda- Washington he, decided that he _— Hause of Kuppenheimer good assortment at $975. time, because they are laboring |tion of a majority of the pupils could get in touch with the three Got Many Ties. s rebels ke had come south to van- quishquickerif on horseback than on foot.

Lion Fvery under the impression that the number of pupils it would accom- modate would be very small, and there are others of the opinion that the proposed site is located too far north and west of -the business center of the city. It is true that the enrollment of the high-school at the present time is only 65, but the main school-house is already over- crowded, not only on account of the high school pupils, buton account of the large number of pupils in the 6th, 7th and 8th grades. Next year the pupils as shown in the following table, will be in the 7th and 8th grades and in the high-school, and it is Enrollment.... ..... in the high school and upper grades, and that such a building is now necessary for the accom- modation of a large number, By the time a high-school building can be completed, it is a modest estimate to say that it will be required for the use ofat least 250 pupils in the high-school and 7th and 8th grades. ‘With these figures before the voters of the district, they are in a position to figure the ques- tion out for themselves, and to intelligently decide whether or not it is advisable to wait until & high-school~ building is over- crowded before commencing upen its erection High 8th 7th 6th School Grade Grade Grade Total . 43
