The executive committee, which had charge of the celebration held July 5th has prepared an itemized statement of the receipts and dis- bursements of the funds used in carrying on the celebration and the state- ment shows that the committee did exceptionally good work in carrying on the celebration in a business like way. At a meeting of the committee held last night the accounts were audited and receipts given for amounts collected and the statement shows that there have been collected in contributions and privileges $543 and that the total expenditures, which include everything in connection with the celebration, foots up to $425.62 leaving a net cash balance on hand of $117.38. The committee unanimously voted to turn over the cash balance of $117.38 to the commercial club for the purpose of using as much of the sum as was needed for the proper entertainment of the members of the Great Northern Editorial association, who will visit Bemidji and enjoy an outing July 15716-17-18, and if there is anything of the amount left the balance will be deposited in the treasury of the commercial club for such use as the club may see fit. P The celebration was prounced by everybody who was in Bemidji on Monday as having been carried on in the most efficient manner of any public celebration ever given here. The country was thoroughly billed, including Brainerd and other towns and cities north of there to the inter- national boundry, including International Falls; west of Bemidji as far as Crookston; east as far as Grand Rapids. This took considerable printed matter, but the entire affair was handled in a very thorough manner. The Ploneer believes that the executive commuttee is open to con- gratulations for the very business-like method pursued in conducting the celebration. There was no “hitch” anywhere, either in pulling off the program of events or in paying purses or caring for strangers. Above is given a detailed statement of the expenses of the celebra- tion and to whom money was paid, not one cent of which was given out without a duly-verified, itemized statement or statement of judges as to winners of prizes. SUPREME COURT DECLARE PORK BARREL LAW “N. G.” St. Paul, July 9.—(Special to Pioneer.)—The supreme court, in a decision filed this morning, held that the famous “Pork Barrel Bill” is unconstitutional, there are not being a dissenting vote.

The case was an attack made by L. 0. Cook of Kellogg, state senator from Wabasha county, on the appropriation of $600,000 for roads and bridges which was made by the last legislature, and which was to he divided among the different counties of the state.

There were officers present from nearly every board in the county with the exception of those residing in the extreme north end, it being next to impossible for those officers to be present owing to poor train service from that section. The officers first visited the sum- mer school in the high school build- ing and noted the work that is being done there in training the teachers, after which an adjournment was taken to the court house and the regular program taken up. The summer school chorus lead in singing “America,” and was heartily assisted by the entire audience, and the grand Old song was rendered with a will. W. B. Stewart, superintendent of Beltrami county schools, presided at the meeting and stated that school matters were becoming more and more important and people con- nected with educational matters were more than ever willing to lay aside their daily labors and partici- pate in affairs of importance to education. This showed very dis- tinct advancement along educational lines. Mr. Stewart introduced Judge Stanton, the speaker who would de- liver the address of welcome on be- half of the City of Bemidji, and stated that it gave him great pleasure in introducing the - judge whom he hoped every one present knew or would learn to know. Judge Stanton stated that it always gave him pleasure, and he deemed it a great honor, to address those who gave their time and labors to the cause of education. He felt like taking off his hat to any man or woman who, in this age of commercialism and, you might say, selfishness, and lay aside their daily duties of life and perform acts to advance the public good; he com- mended the custom of getting together of those interested in the schools in order that they ‘might exchange ideas and become better fitted to fill the positions which they occupied. Judge Stanton extended a sincere welcome to the visitors on behalf of the City of Bemidji. He stated that the exchange of ideas could not but be beneficial to the public schools. He claimed that the Minnesota schools and army of educators and school officers were of a high order of efficiency and could compare favorably with those anywhere. The speaker said that the interest shown in the summer school here by the teachers of this and adjoin- ing counties spoke well for the efficiency of the school. The judge said he had taught several successful terms in his younger days and he realized what labor it was. He appealed to the members of the boards of education to co-operate with the teachers for the betterment of the schools and the furnishing of better teaching facilities. In conclusion, Judge Stanton again extended hearty welcome to those present on behalf of the City of Bemidji and assured them of the hearty co-operation of all of Bemidji in advancing the welfare of educa- tion. Mrs. M. E. Knappen, chairman of the school board of Tenstrike, read a very able paper on “Rela- tion of School Boards to Teachcrs and School.” Mrs. Knappen advocated a sort of “set of commandments,” as she called it, requiring the members of the school board to exercise patience in judging new teachers, to be earn- est, frank and considerate and also discreet in their official conduct.
