Official County and City Paper SUBSCRIPTION $5 PER YEAR 1904 FEBRUARY 1904 THE ISSUE. What the people of Bemidji want and what we must have if the town is to secure the measure of prosperity of which it is capable is a business man’s ad- ministration of the city. Vari- ous enterprises like the ill fated commercialclubhavebeeninaugu- rated in Bemidji only to be used for private purposes and for pri- vate profit until the general pub- lic has begun to fear that no pub- lic enterprise can be undertaken in Bemidji and carried toa suc- cessful conclusion. It is for this reason that the Pioneer welcomes the candidacy of M. D. Stoner for mayor. Mr. Stoner is inde- pendent of all factions; he is one of the city’s oldest and most suc- cessful business men and we be- lieve that his election as mayor will mean that the city has deter- mined that public affairs shall be managed for the benefit of the general public. There is but one issue in the village election in Bemidji this spring. Shall the city be admin- istered for the benefit of all or shall we elect men to serve the private interest of the few? A vote for Stoner for mayor means that you favor the former policy while a vote against him means the latter. THE conviction of Machen and others noted -today in our tele- graph columns in connection with the postal scandal shows that the admijnistration is making good its promise to push the postal investigations to the uttermost. BRAINERD has been visited by two disastrous fires within the past few weeks but fire never yet set a northern Minnesota town and Brainerd will from its ashes backward doubtless rise better than ever. THE twin city dailies for the most part appear to be endeavor- ing to keep their right hands from, knowing what their left hands are doing-in Minnesota politics. ;vvmvvvvvv EBITS NORTH FROM | COUNTRY .&mm&a‘a‘d Akeley demands better fire protection, Fosston’s farmers hold a suc- cessful institute.

Todd county is a good place to NEW SHERIFF FOR CLEARWATER County Commissioners Name H. J. Holst, Pioneer Resident: BRISK FIGHT FOR APPOINT- MENT IS BALLOTING. Sheriff Torkelson’s Successor Chosen After Several Days of Balloting. After several days of balloting the board of county commis- sioners of Clearwater county ter- minated the brisk fight which has been going on for the ap- pointment to the sheriffship of Clearwater county, by electing H. J. Holst, of the town of Holst and a pioneer resident to fill out the unexpired term of Sheriff Torkelson, who was removed from. office by governor Van Sant. Torkelson’s removal developed a number of candidates and the board was called upon to con- sider several names when the matter came up. Several ballots were taken without any choice being made and Mr. Holst’s hsts.! His name was presented at the meeting of the board Wednesday morning and he was elected on the first ballot by a vote of three to two. Holst is an old residentof this section, and it is quite well known throughout this section. ! His appointment will be quite generally satisfactory to the peo- ple of Clearwater county al- though there is naturally some soreness in certain quarters. Ex-Shoriff Torkelson is unde- cided as to his plans for the fu- ture. His removal was a bitter disappointment and was un- expected. Hewill probably en- gage in some sort of business but the whole-affair has had a tendency to add to the bitterness of the factional difference at Bag- ley, which is the most pro- nounced and well developed thing of the sort in the north country. Mr., Torkelson was appointed Sheriff by the present board of county commissioners and when the announcement of his removal was first made it was freely pre- dicted that he would be ap- pointed to succeed himself. In- vestigation. however, developed the fact that this could not be doue legally. TICKET NAMED Caucus at Blackduck Last Night Names' Ticket for Spring Election. The village of Blackducl- held its caucus last night and placed various village offices to be filled at the spring election. The cau- cus was a harmonious affair and it is said the ticket nominated atickes in nomination™ for the; NEWSINORTH rrom THE; COUNTRY name was not entered in the first| i i last night will meet with but slight opposition. It is as follows: Mayor—L. J. Romdenns, Recorder—C. G. Johnson. Treasurer—Charles Conway. Alderman—E. Boyle. R. M., Pickett and O. Carlson. - Justice—J. A, Green. Constable—Cass Burnell. Assessor— Charles Moon, Editor Oberg, of the Black- duck American, has been re- corder of the village for the past year and is expected to be an in- dependeht candidate for re-elec- tion. Murderer Sues to Recover Money. William Chounard, who mur- dered his wife at Cass Lake some weeks ago, has, through Charles Argall, his attor- ney, brought suit against City Marshall Joe Burns to re- cover thirty dollars taken from him at the time of his arrest. Marshall Burns took some $30! from the prisoner after the mur- der, a part of which was used to pay for the medical treatment of the woman, who lingered some time after the shooting. He re- fuses to turn over any money to Chounard’s attorney. as it is claimed by Mike Garrity, the owner of the building in which the murder was committed that it was wrongfully taken from the cash drawer by Chounard. The latter says he is entitled to it be- cause his wife was running the business. The matter is decid- edly mixed and some fine legal points are involved.—Duluth News Tribune. Wolves Leaving Cass County. Grand Rapids Magnet: The loggers up on Leech river in Cass county are wondering what has become of the timber wovles. The animals, it is said, have sud- dendly left that territory. The theory is advanced by some of the settlers in this region that the wolves have left because of a disease which prevalent among the rabbits. Ordinarily they kill and devour many rabbits, if they can get them, but it is said that the wolves shun them when they become diseased. Mclvor Aspires. K. J. McIvor, of Farley, will be a candidate at the Republican primaries for the nomination for register of deeds. Mr. Mclvor stated 1n Bemidji yesterday that he would be a candidate. Hehas a wide personal acquaintance throughout the county, is at present employed as bookkeeper for the Blakely & Farley Co, and was a candidate for the nomina tion two years ago but withdrew before the primaries. Petition for Incorporation. The petition for the incorpor- ation of the town of Big Falls was filed with the county auditor today and will be considered at the next meeting of the county board. The petition bears the signatures of thirty freeholders as required by law. E. L. Craw- ford returned this morning from Big Falls, where he had been to prepare the preliminary pdapers. Raising Quarantine. County Physician Blakeslee want to-Blackduck last night and today will raise the quarntine on several logging camps in that vicinity. The Pine Island camp of the J. A. Trvine Co. will also be released. Pendergast, whose name has been mentioned in connection with candidacy for justice of the peace, authorizes the Pioneer to announce that he is not a candid ate for that or any other office. L. G. PENDERGAST. The ridiculous argument that Mr. Stoner would not make a good mayor for.Bemidji.because he owns property at Blackduck call forth the following laughable communication published in the Blackduck Times, yesterday. An editorial in the Bemidji Pio- neer of the 23 instant states that the opposition to Mr. Stoner as president of that village is found- ed on the fact that he will steal the town and locate it at Black- duck. Mr, Stoner at one time owned Blackduck, but at present, there is a present, council, and a hand- ful or two of voters who insist on having something to say about the. town and its management and who are unwilling to acquire undesirable property. Blackduck has been so busy attending to its own affairs that it has not fully appreciated its own importance, but I believe our people, one and all, looking down on our little sister to the south with outstretched hands, mercifully begging for protect- ion, will grant to that yoang and prosperous village a promise of immunity from the ravages of so dangerous a highwayman as Mr. Stoner (providing always she proves herself capable of self- gevernment) and further extend- ing the benefits of the Monroe doctrine, will promise to our little neighbor that in the event of Mx. Stoner’s election, this vil- lage will accept of no part or par- cel of this territory nor of the benefits of the vices thereof, nor allow other foreign powers to ac- quire title, benefiits or vices there-from.—A CITIZEN OF BLACKDUCK.
