-The Daily Pioneer PUBLISHED EVERY AFTERNOON. PIONEER PUBLISHING CO. By R. W. HITCHCOCK. ‘Entered in the postoffice at Bemidji, Minn., as second class matter. AN AN AN AN NN PPN __Qfficial County and City Paper AR A A A AN PN PPN PPN AP PN SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR 1904 FEBRUARY 1904 THE candidacy of M. D. Stoner for mayor has steadily grown in favor since its first announce- ment. This despite the fact that the most vicious attacks have been made upon him by men who know that Mr. Stoner is too in- dependent a man to be made a facile tool of, Mr. Stoner has practically done to further his candidacy nor have bis friends, yet his candidacy daily grows in favor. Personal abuse, reckless misrepreseanta- nothing tion and low intrigues are the only arguments advanced against Mr. Stoner and against such arguments a strong man always grows stronger. THERE will apparently be little interest in the republican county «convention to be held in Bemidji March 15. Delegates will be named to the state convention at St. Paul and to the congressional convention at Crookston, but as the sole business of these conven- tions is to name delegates to the convention national republican there will probably be no active competition for the privilege of spending money to attend these conventions. THE letter of Deputy Public Examiner Gunders setting forth the excellent condition in which he found the office of State Audi- tor Dunn attracted considerable attention when it first appeared and is attracting a good deal more attention now that Mr. Gunders has been discharged for such' rank disloyalty to Collius. Public officials should take no- tice that they are working for Judge Collins—not for Minne- sota. BUSINESS conditions have dis- tinctly improved within the past week and there is prospect that the improvement will ‘continue. Local conditions will be more favorable for business from this time on while the practical cor- tainty that Roosevelt will suec- ceed himself at the head of the nation should make the campaign year less disastrous than usual.

Railroading in the north coun- try is fraught with some difficul- ty that does not attend it in other sections of the country. Be- tween Bemidji and Northome there are thirty spurs used for logeging purposes. Some of them run back in the woods for some distance and it is told of a new engineer on the line that he recently ran up one of these spurs-a distance of a mile before he discovered tne mistake. In| heading the train in, the brake- man, who was a new man also|? had lined the switch wrong and the train started out in the woods regardless. Turtle River’s Fine' Farm Lands. S. D. Works, the well known lumberman, who has camps cut- ting hardwood timber in the vic- inity of Turtle River is an enthus- iast for the future of that section. Mr. seen in this section of the state are located in that vicinity and the time is coming when it will be one of the richestand most re-: | sourceful sections of the county. The timber he is cuttirg there is being hauled to his mill at Nary ber that will be offered is what is considered good stuff by lumber- man and it-can be gotten out at a neat profit provided that the bid- ding does not become to spirited and run it up to the highest pos- sible figures. It is estimated th .t the getting out of the timber will be begun by the middle of May at the lat- est and that by that time fully four hundred wmen will be em- ployed on the work.
