IMPRESSION IS
ERRONEOUS
Board of Education Says
Article in Sentinel Was
Misleading.
DAILY PIONEER ASKED TO PUB
LISH FULL LAW.
Claimed That Sentinel Article Re
lated Only to Erection of
New Building.
Editor of the Pioneer:
Dear Sir:The Beniidji Sen
tinel, of September 2, 1903, in. an
item,
Laws of Minnesota," pre-
tended to quote the law govern
ing the action of the board of
education of en independent
school district, relating to the
erection of a school house, and
we deem this so misleading
that we ask you to publish the
following in order that the people
interested in our public schools
may not be misled.
The law governing the board
oi' education is found in Sections
3806, and Section 3808, as amend-
by Chapters 305 and 359, of
the Laws of 1897, arid Chapter
103 of the Laws of* 1899, and
Chapter 357 of the Laws of 1903.
Section 3806 of the Statutes of
1894, is as stated by the Sentinel,
and as follows:
"Whenever said board deem it
necessary to purchase or erect a
school house or school houses for
said district, or to purchase sites
for the same, they shall call a
meeting of the legal voter's of the
district, by giving ten days'
notice of the time and place and
object of said meeting, in some
newspaper printed and in gener
al circulation in said district if
there is no such newspaper, then
by posting notices thereof in five
or more of the most public places
in said district: and said meeting
may determine, by a majority
vote, upjn the erection of a
scho ol house or school houses,
and the purchase of a site or
sites therefore, and the amount
of money to be rais ed for the
purpose aforesaid."
I win be noted at a glance
that this secti on relates to the
purchase or erection of a SCHOOL
HOUSE, and does not apply to
REPAIRING 01* the CONSTRUCTION
of ADDITIONAL ROOMS Upon an
EXISTING SCHOOL HOUSE.
Section 3808 is as follows:
"POWERS OF BOARD OF1
sr -H*
EDUCA-
TION:
"The board of education shall
have power, and I SHALL E
THEIR DUTY:
"First.To establish and or
ganize such grades of schools,
alter and discontinue the same,
in said district, as they may
deem expedient.
"Second.- O PROVIDE NECES-
SARY ROOMS OR BUILDINGS FOR
SCHOOL HOUSES, and grounds
about the same.
"Third.When authorized by
a vote of the district, to purchase
sites for the same.
"Seventh. defr ay the
necessary expenses of the
board," etc.
From sub-divisions 2 and 3 of
Section 3808, as amended, it is
cle ar that where the board of
education desires to purchase
the site, or purchase or erect a
school house, they must liave the
authority by the vote of the dis
trict, but where they desire to
provide necessary rooms or build
ings for school houses upon sites
already owned, which does not
amount to the erection of a new
school house, then they have the
power to provide such necessary

division.
The effect of the quotation by
the Sentinel, of only one Section
might be to mislead the public.
Why the Sentinel did not quote
all the law on the subcect, we do
not know, but in order that the
public may judge for itself, as to
whether one member of the
school board is right, and ail the
others are wrong, or whether
one member is wrong, and all
others are right, we would ask
the Pioneer to publish this com
munication.

EVERY PIECE OF PIXE SEVER-
AL TIMES ESTIMATED.
In Spite of Reports to Contrary
Bidding for Timber Will
be Lively.
Reports from Cass Lake say
that in spite of the continual
rumor that there will be little
bidding on the pine on the ceded
Chippewa lands, cruisers con
tinue to arrive from the various
lumber and loggi ng firms, and
there is scarcely a niece of land
in which pine is advertised by
the secretary of the interior that
lias not been several times
estimated and examined. Thus
far it appears that the large syn
dicates will be the bidders, and
they will bid on most of the pine
on the market.
From what can be learned it is
evident that most of the pi ne will
be shipped from off the reser
vation or taken by water to
Cloquet and elsewhere.
One large firm expects to bid
on a large tract for over 300,000,-
000 and another will make a bid
for all the merchantable pine
near the rails or lake s. The
fact that the highest bidder will
get the pine and that indepen
dent companies will bid, gives
added uncertainty as to who will
get the pine.

W have several 40 acre tracts
of good farm land close to north
end of Bemidji lake which we
will offer for the next 30 days at
