The Daily Pioneer|HE FOUGHT FOR Want Column PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON. A AN 0 PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By R. W. HITCHCOCK. Entered in the postofice at Bemidjl, Min., as second class matter. T A S R Official County and City Paper PAAAAAAAANNNANA AN PNN NSNS SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR 1904 FEBRUAHY 1904 LAND OFFICE FRAUDS. An article published ‘in the Pioneer some two weeks ago relative to the high handed way in which the department of the|Z interior treated many who have filed on timber and stone claims in Washington and Oregon has aroused considerable interest and has resulted in the making of some attempts to induce the department to modify its hard and fast vule that all claims shall be thrown out where minor tech- nical rules of the department have not been observed. The:department has put scores of innocent citizens to heavy ex- 'pense and to much trouble with- out cause. It hasinduced them to travel from Minnesota and neighboring states to prove up on claims only to be informed that their labor avails them noth- ing. Of course this is not ]ust but red tape and not justice is' what the department appea.rs to be aiming at. - Senator Clapp has introduced a bill providing that evidence may be filed in the proper dis- trict although it was taken in the wrong district. . This bill, did it become a law, would cure- the wrong suffered by many people of this section, but its passage is not very probable owing to the opposition to measures which will result in making titles to public lands easier to acquire. i ST o THE Beltrami County News in this week’s issue timidly ven- tures out upon the unaccustomed waters of truth and remarks that the circulation of the Pioneer is limited. “It’s a fact. The Pio- neer’s circulation is limited by the population of this section of northern Minnesota. The circu- lation of the News, however, is not limited; it has far to go before it gets in sight of the limit. } EITSINORTH ¢ b1 E| COUNTRY afie ffic 288 e o 8 385 B Try not to be a comic valentine. —0— » The Bertha creamery paid its patrons $11,000 during 1903. —0— By agitation Pequot hopes to bring a creamery to the top. ——.
