The teachers in attendance at the school were largely - persons of experience in" school work, and feeling the responsibility of the teacher, labored most earnestly and industriously to improve their con- ditions. It is such spirit that wins success and it is altogether proper to infer that those teachers who were present have gone: back to their schools renewed for their work and inspired with higher ideals of usefulness for having enjoyed the instruction amid plea- sant surroundings. ‘The counties represented at the school were Beltrami, Clearwater, Norman,Hubbard, Crow Wing, Cass, Itasca, Hennepin and Red Lake. Prof. E. T. Carroll of Wadena was conductor of the school, and the instructors were Prof. J. H. Hay of Thief River Falls, éuperintendent of schools of Red Lake county, and Miss Belle Richards of Duluth, instructor is the -'State Nermal School at Duluth. They were inter- esting in their presentations and spared no pains in their efforts to help. Their years of experience and thorough knowledge of their subjects made them an inspiration to - intelli- gent and industrious teachers seek- ing to improve. The success of the school is highly pleasing to all, and everyone con- nected therewith is open to congratu- lations on the good work accom- plished. During the session of the school lectures were delivered by Rev. Isaac Peart of this city, Rev. E. C. Clemens of Duluth and Rev. H. A. Cleveland of Long Prairie. The total enrollment at the school was 62; average daily attendance 40; average age of attendants 20.3 years; average age when attendants began .| teaching 18 years; number holding Second-grade certificates 27, number holding Third-grade certificates 22; number taught in graded schools 1; number taught in ungraded schools 48; average months taught 17. 1, number high school graduates 5 certificates of perfect attendance 18. Those who were perfect in attend- ance at the school were the. follow- ing: Florence Huck, Maud Murray, Ellen Gleason, Ellen Halladay, Selma Anderson; Alice. Dicaire, Nellie G. Erickson, Elsie C.AVest, Ella R. Larson, Mattie Loen, Celia Rysgg, Rose Olson, Sadie S. Garrard, Myrtle M. Schwartz, Mamie Thayer, Alfreda Lundgren, Alga M. Ander- son, Maire Rygg. Elk Lodge for Thief River Falls. Word comes from Thief River Falls that the taking of the census of that place has been completed and the results show that Thief River Falls has a population of 5,027 souls, which is safely over. the limit of 5,000 which is required for the establishment of an Elk lodge in any community. There are many real live boys over at Thief River who will undoubt- edly make good ‘‘bucks,” and it is more than likely that a delegation of local Elks will go over when the lodge is instituted. Internal. Revenue Laws Well Observed. Guy A. Aubol of Crookston, - col- lector of internal revenue for this district, returned this morning from an official trip to International Falls. Mr. Aubol made his trip from Big Falls to Littlefork on the construc- tion train and went from Littlefork to International Falls by boat. Mr. Aubol states that there are very few violations of the internal revenue laws in this north country and the few transgressions that he has discovered have been of a very minor character. WOULD SEGURE PINE ON RED LAKE RESERVATION Lumbermen Casting Longing Glances at Fine Stand of Timber at the ““Narrews.” There is a rumorin lumber circles to the effect that a bill will be’intro- ‘duced at the next 'session of con- gress, authorizing the sale of a large amount of standing pine timber on the Red Lake Indian reservation, between the arms of the upper and lower Red Lakes. That there are several lumber concerns operating in the north part of the state that are anxious to have the pine placed on the mar- ket, have been evidenced of late by the visit to Red Lake of several lumbermen of note and also the representatives of a number of other companies, among whom are B, F, Nelson of Minneapolis, of the Nel- son-Tenny company, and representa- tives of the Crookston Lumber company, the Bemidji Lumber com- pany, Thief River Falls company and several others, It is estimated that there is, alto- gether,on the entire Red Lake Indian reservation some 500,000,000 feet of standing pine timber. Of this amount, there are 125,000,000 feet that is embraced in the territory that is desired to be covered by the pro- posed congressional legislation. This latter timber lies east of the narrows between the two arms of Red Lake, and stands thickly on the ridges, the low spots being covered with tamarack,spruce and other merchant- able timber. This timber can be very easnly logged and placed in Red Lake. It is said that the indications are very bright for legislation that will per- mit the cutting of the pine during the winter of 1907-1908. FIRST PASSENGER TRAIN T0 LITTLEFORK SUNDAY Five Coachloads of Peopte Went to Littlefork from Big Falls, on Excursion. Littlefork, July 30.—(Special to |- the Pioneer-)—There was a celebra- tion here Sunday, the occasion being the running of the first pas- senger train from Big Falls to the Littlefork over the extension of the M. & L railway that is being built from Big Falls to International Falls, Chief Engineer Huss, who has| full charge of the building of the extension, decided to give an excur- sion over the new road, which has been completed to this place. The regular north-bound passen- ger train which runs from: Brainerd to Big Falls, and which stops at the “Falls” over Sunday,was pressed into service, and five coachloads of Big Falls people came over to assist in the celebration. Big Falls people brought along their baseball team and a game was played between Big Falls and Little- fork, which was easily won by the Big Falls bunch, by a score of 14 to '3. The battery for Big Falls was Brown and Collins (the latter for- merly of Bemidji.) ‘The crowd looked over this village and visited the scene of the railroad work, and were given a hearty recep- tion.

CITY COUNCIL MEETING WAS AN IMPORTANT ONE Judges Named for Bond Election to Be Held on August 27. ---Bids Wanted for Work on City Hall.---Other Business Transacted. At the meeting of the city council held last evening the judges for the bond election to be 'held on August 27th were appointed and several other matters of 1mportance trans- acted. _The meeting was well attended, the only absentee being Alderman Mayer. A batch of bills were allowed, after which the liquor license appli- cation of Andrew Dahl was read and allowed. D. C. Smyth appeared before the council and objected to the amount of a bill rendered to hini~ for the use of water at his bath parlors, -claim- ing that the rate as charged was not correct. The matter was left to the street commissioner, who was instructed to check up the number of taps used by Mr. Smyth. The liquor license bond of Frank Lane, with H. F. Schmidt and Charles Nangle as sureties, and also bond of Frank Rogers, with J. A, Ludington and John Graham as sureties, were approved and ordered placed on file. The official bond of Doran Bros., with J. P. Lahr and Charles Nangle as sureties, as sewer and waterworks plumbers, was approved. W. H. Garrison was allowed to transfer his popcorn and peanut machine license to Mrs. Buhl. The request of Frank Lane to be allowed to place a public watering trough in front of his place of busi- ness, was allowed, Mr. Lane to bear the expense of installing the same and also to pay for maintenance of trough. The members of the Bemidji band presented a petition to the council in which they asked for the placing of a screen around the band stand at the dock, in order that the musi- cians may be protected from the annoyance of mosquitoes and other ; insects. This matter was left to the discretion of the city hall committee, with authority to place the screen on the stand, provided the cost thereof would not exceed $20. \ H. P. Burroughs and Charles .Knopke presented a request 'to the council that they be allowed to leave the present plank walk in_front of their places of business, in order that they might place basements under their buildings, was rejected, it being understood that they would not be pushed in the matter of put- ting in a cement walk. It was ordered that the TJerrard Plumbing company be stopped from completing the work on the sewer until a satxsfactory bond was furmshed to the city by the com- pany, it being understood that the Jerrard company had not yet received their bonds from the bond com- pany. (Mr. Jerrard has since prepared a personal bond, which will be filed with the city clerk until such time as the bond from the company is received.) The call for the bond election to be held on August 27, for the pur- pose of voting $30,000 bonds to purchase a site for a tower and tank and also installing various water mains, was read, and the fol- lowing voting places and judges were named: First Ward—Midway grocery, be- tween Eighth and Ninth streets. Judges, Wm. Mageau, J. J. Ellis, E. H. Cornwall. Second Ward—City fire hall, Bel- trami avenue. Judges, F. J. Dun- woody, I. B. Olson, D, C. Smyth. Third Ward—Pogue’s implement house. Judges, E. F. Kellogg, Matt Thome, J. P. Omich. Fourth Ward—Slocum’s office. Judges, H. S.-Annette, C. C. Chris- tianson, T. J. Miller. It was suggested that the council pay for printing-handbills or publish- ing an explanation in papers of the village relative to the holding of the forthcoming bond election, but the matter was dropped without any formal action being taken on the matter. The city engineer was instructed to open the road on the southeast side of the lake in order that the cut-off, unauthorized road running through the property of the Bemidji Lumber company may be abandoned and discontinued. - Complaint was made relative to some wood ~which was piled in the street at the north end of town and the street commit- tee was authorized to order the owner to move the wood or to cause its removal from the street. The street commissioner was instructed to go ahead with repair- ing the foot bridge near the hos- pital. It was decided- to advertise for bids for placing a basement gnder the front of the city hall and "also lowering the rear portion used for storing fire apparatus to grade.
