BELTRAMI GOUNTY SOLID FOR BOTH TAFT AND KAISER Continued from First Page district as a whole, and especially| Beltrami county; also, that we heart- ily endorse his every action and Dbe- lieve that he should be retained at the national capital. The committee appointed to select the delegates to attend the congres- sional and state conventions report- ed the names as given at the begin- ning of this article, and the report was adopted unanimously. There was the utmost harmeny throughout the meeting. There was a large attendance at the convention and every delegate was a warm sup- porter of Secretary Taft. not a dissenting vote on the senti- ment for Albert Kaiser as delegate from the Ninth Congressional dis- trict to the republican national cou- vention. Clearwater for Taft and Kaiser. Bagley, April 9.—(Special to Pio- neer.)—The republican county con- vention was a very harmorious affair. The convention endorsed William H. Taft for president, and was also unanimous for A. Kaiser for delegate from the Ninth con- gressional to the republican national convention. The delegates were selected as follows: State convention—M. J. Kolb, P. C. Bjonerby, Harry Sinker, R. E. Geveraux, A. L. Gorden, A, J. Higdem, J. W. Johnson and A. Peterson. Congressional conven- tion—A. Kaiser, M. J. Kolb, Harry Sinker, A. L. Gorden, A. J. Higdem, P. B. Bjornerby, R. E. Geveraux and J. W. Johnson. Polk for Taft, Kellog and Kaiser. Crookstor, April 9.—(Special to Pioneer.)—At a largely-attended convention today, the republicans of Polk county endorsed William H. Taft for the presidency, and also en- dorsed F. B. Kellogg for delegate-at- large and A. Kaiser as delegate from the Ninth congressional con- vention to the republican national convention at Chicago. Clay and Wilkin for LaFolleite. Telephone messages from Crooks- ton this afternoon are to the effect that the convention at Fergus Falls instructed the Clay county delega- tion to vote for Corliss of Fergus Ealls for delegate from the southern part of the Ninth district to the national convention. This will in no wise effect Mr. Kaiser, as two dele- gates are to be chosen. The same authority says that Clay county would probably endorse LaFollette before adjourning, as would also Wilkin county.

Stanton has appointed as courtreporter for theFifteenthJudicial district, has assumed his duties in a manner that indicates that he will make a first-class reporter. Mr. Samuelson has done much work in this line before and the duties of his new position are not by any means strange to him. John E. Samuelson was born in Christiana, Norway, thirty-eight JOHN E. SAMUELSON. years ago. He came to the United States in 1881 and located at Eau Claire, Wis. Previous to his coming to America, Mr. Samuelson had obtained a com- mon school education and he at once entered the high school at Eau Claire, from which institution he graduated in 1883. In 1887 Mr. Samuelson entered the law office of W. H. Frawley at Eau Claire and began to study law. He was admitted to the Wisconsin bar. He entered the University of Minnesota in 1896 and took a law course, graduating from that institu- tion. He then returned to Eau Claire and began the practice of law. Mr. Sameulson went to St. Paul in 1899 and practiced law in that city. Mr. Sameelson accepted a position of private secretary to Judde Jaggard, of the Supreme court in 1904 and retained that position until April 1, 1907, when he moved to Inter- national Falls, where he was asso- sociated with C. W. Stanton, county attorney of Koochiching county, Mr. Stanton having recently been appointed judge of the Fifteenth Judicial district. Mr. Samuelson was married on Novemb er 22, 1899 to Miss Mar- garet Young of Wright county, Min- nesota. Mr. and Mrs. Samuelson have one child, a daughter. The family will make their home in Be- | midji. | Mr. Samuelson is a good “mixer,” and will undoubtedly become very | popular throughout the Fifteenth F district.

Meclver Died Yesterday.—Was Popular Boy. Kenneth: Mclver, the 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs, K. Mclver died yesterday, after a brief illness, with ‘an acute attack of appendicitis. The death of the boy came as a shock to the many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Mclver, it not being gener- ally known that li‘tle Kennith was ill, and heartfelt sympathy goes out to the bereaved parents in their hour of trouble. The funeral services will be held at the McIver home, 331 American|’ avenue, Sunday afternoon, at 2:30 and Rev. S. E. P. White will officiate. The silver cord is loosened, the golden bowl is broken, the dust has returned to the earth as it was; the spirit has returned to God who gave it. The devoted boy who remembered his creator in the days of his youth. ere the evil days came, or the years drew nigh when he should say I have no pleasure in them, has fin- ished his course and reached the heavenly goal-while yet an infant in the race of life. Only the memory of the lovely boy is left, yet how sweet, how up- lifting its influence. For, after all, death is but the slipping off of the outer body. Kenneth MclIver was born at Walker, Minn., February 5, 1900, and was the youngest of four'sons of Mr. and Mrs. K. Mclver. The little fellow moved to Bemidji with his parents the year of his birth, and has been one of the best-loved of the younger boys of the city ever since that time. Always of a gentlemanly disposi- tion, and courteous and industrious, little Kenneth was very popular with old and young alike. Small Fortune in Poles. Crookston Journal: ~Wm. Welch returned yesterday with the last car of horses from the camps of ‘Ross and Ross near Kelliher where they have . been at work during the winter, the last of the work having been cleaned up. Ross and Ross have $350,000 worth of cedar piling in their yards at Kelliher, which means a pretty big fortune tied up, but the demand for piling will make it possidle to turn their holdings into money rapidly, and the price is continually advancing. Mr. Welch is well pleased with the result of the winter’s work, his horses returning in very good shape for his contracts the coming sum- mer. Deplores Lack of School Room (The Pioneer invites brief com- munication relative to the forth- coming school election, and also on any other proposition calculated to provide more room for the school children of the city or the bettering of conditions, in any way. We do not necessarily hold the same views as the writers, but public discussion of public matters is what we de- sire.—Editor.) Bemidji, April 9. To Editor Pioneer:—I trust you will publish in your daily paper this brief article on the “School Question” Iam half afraid the majority of Bemidji people do not take enough interest in our public school, which, it seems to me, is the most essential thing in the development of our city. The lack of school room is the greatest hindrance to the growth of a. city, as people with families will not come to a place without sufficient schools. Can we blame them? Thanks to the faculty and board of education, our city schools are above the standard. Why should we lower this by not providing room for more pupils, or more room for the pupils already attending school? It is impossible for the teacher to do justice to the pupils in an over- crowded room. I visited the schools a few weeks ago and found thirty-three pupils in one class in one of the lower grades, and at least twenty-five in another class in the same room. Is it the teachers fault if these children do not progress as rapidly as they should? No. the fault of the citi- zens of Bemidji. In showing the city to prospective buyers, would we be proud to point out some of the buildings where school is kept? For instance, the this school? We answer, ‘on the street.” It seems to me that the people who are working against this school proposition cannot realize the neces- sity of more school room, or have they forgotten Rule No:. 4 of the Ordinance of 1787—that “means of education shall forever be encour- aged.” Let us not let our city get be- hind the times, but bear in mind that the “boys and girls who are being educated today are the men and women of a great tomorrow.” —A Citizen. District Court Proceedings. The spring term of district court for Beltrami county is nearing an end and Judge McClenahan, who is now presiding, predicts that he will finish -the term tomorrow even- ing. The trial of the cases has been going on very expeditiously. Yesterday afternoon the court took up the case of D. P. Palmer vs. Rufus English, D. H. Fisk appear- ing for the plaintiff and P. J. Rus- sel for the defendant. Several wit- nesses were examined and the motion made by the defendent to have the case dismissed was over- ruled. The jury brought in a ver- dict finding the defendant owner of the property involved and entitled to the possession thereof, the value of the property being placed at $100. A stay of thirty days was granted in the judgment. In the case of the Mercantile Jewelry company vs. Nels N. Bag- ley the jury returned a verdict for the defendant. The court granted a stay of sixty days for the plain- tiff. The case of the City of Bemidji vs. Christ Olson, charged with keep- ing his saloon in the city of Bemidii opened on Sunday, was taken up' for trial late yesterday afternoon. The case was an appeal from justice court. Jobn F. Gibbons, city attor- ney appearing for the city and P. J. Russell for the defendant. The case was given to the jury just be- fore. noon. During the trial Mr. Russell moved for dismissal of the case on the ground that the date of the alleged offense had not been es- tablished. The motion was over- ruled. The case the City of Bemidji vs. J. P. Signel, charged with con- ducting a saloon without a license, was taken upat the close of the Olson trial. Judge Spooner Departs. M. A. Spooner, who recently re- signed as judge of the Fifteenth Judicial district for the purpose of removing to Spokane and engage in the practice of law, left last night for his future home. Ex-Judge Spooner has been very busily engaged during the past week in straightening out his business affairs and bidding adieu to his host of friends in Bemidji and other points. Mr. Spooner has formed a co- partner ship with Attorney Tuomy of Spokane, who was formerly a law pariner, in Duluth, of Hon. Page Morris, at present judge of the U. S. Supreme court. It is doubtful if any resident of Bemidji has departed for new fields followed by more hearty expressions of well wishes than has been ac- corded to Judge Spooner and his very estimable wife. Judge Stanton ‘“‘Settling Down.” Judge C. W. Stanton has removed his personal effects from Interna- tional Falls and now has his office furniture, etc., installed in chamters at the court house. Judge Stanton bas a splendid library, which shows to advantage in the cases about the rooms: The library is a very good one and well selected, which indicates the legal standing of the newly-appointed court. Judge Stanton will at once move his household goods to this city and make his home in Bemidji. He leaves in the morning for Brainerd to consider some cases in chambers. He will be accompanied by Court Reporter Samuelson. S Train Wrecked Near Brookston. The west-bound passenger train on the Great Northern, which was due to arrive in Bemidji yesterday afternoon at 3:30 was detained by a railroad wreck between Brookston and Cloquet, and did not arrive in Bemidji until 6 o’clock in the even- ing, The ' train-load of grain was right, is now LUMBEHJAGKS BECOMING AN EXTINGT RAGE OF MEN Continued from First Page an under-cutter had to prove it. He was given an ax-bit, told where some oak trees might be found, and he made his own ax handles. Now there is a handy-man for each camp, who looks after such things. The old sawyers, who filed their own saws, have passed out of the game. There is a filer in each camp now who files for all, and the man who once prided himself on being able to point up his saw just denied that privi- lege. “And in the method of loading the sleds there have been great changes. The sled-tender of old is now called the leader, and the ground-loader who steered the logs up the skids and kept them straight in the loading chains by ‘throwing a sag’or ‘cutting her short’ with his canthook, is no more. His place has been taken by two iron hooks, which are driven into the ends of the log to be loaded, and the steam hoist or horse-jamber raises it to the sled, where the top-loader puts it in position. “With these radical changes in methods it is not surprisig that the different class of men has taken to the work, supplanting the real lum- berjack. Of course many of the old-timers still follow the woods. “Perhaps some of the best known lumberjacks of the old school, still in the business or who have been within: récent years, are: ‘White Pine Tiger,’ ‘Jack Shine,’ ‘Dell Gaffeney,” ‘Squeal- ing’ Hickey, ‘Tom’ Ward, “Tom Radigan,” ‘Black Pat’ Sullivan, ‘Single Fyed’ Murray, Jim Pratt, Russ Harmon and ‘Long John’ Campbell. . These men are well known around Blackduck, Bemidji, Grand Rapids and throughout North- ern Minnesota. “Tom Ward has retired from active work and was selling hospital tickets in the camps last winter. ‘Black Pat’ Sullivan is walking boss for the Grand Forks Lumber com- pany, and ‘Single Eyed’ Murray has opened an employment bureau at Blackduck.” Cannot Legally Shoot Fish. There has been considerable dis- cussion of late as ‘to whether the game and fish lawsof the state per- mitted the shooting of fish, many who are unfamilar with the law ex- pressing the belief that there was no law relative to this method of killing fish. For the benefit of the umformed, the Pioneer will state that the law of Minnesota does not permit the shooting of any kind of fish. The law is very plainly worded, in this particular, to the effect that fish must be caught with a hook attached to a line held in a hand, or a hook and line attached to a pole held in the hand. Except that pick- erel, suckers, red horse and bull- heads may be speared at any time, without limit. No fish may be shot, that being prohibited. No fish, of any kind can be caught with a hook and line during the month of April. Evangelistic Meetings. The attendance at the Baptist church last night was very encour- aging. The subject was “The Way to Heaven,” which was made plain and simple. Mrs. Alvord has been on the sick list since Monday but she says she will be able to sing tonight. Remember the service at 8:00. Good hearty singing. Come and enjoy the meetings. Topic for to- night, ‘“Three Representative Women.” What You ’Ludin’ At? Cass Lake Times: P.J. Russell, the Bemidji attorney, wasin town Thursday hunting “lame ducks” and claims he found many of them hid- ing in the thickets about our village. If all our citizens who owe and won’t pay are “lame ducks” it must be ad- mitted we have our share. Pat says he will come again, next time pre- pared to make a killing. Geo. Markham’s Hotel Proposition Hibbing, Minn., April 7.—George A. Markham is working industriously with his plans for giving Hibbing another hotel building and confi- dently expects to close up the deal in a few days.

The people of Hibbing have ex- pressed their sentiment by liberal subscriptions, and there is no ques- tion about the necessary funds for erecting a hotel building that will be a credit to the city. The location of the new hotel will be the site form- erly occupied by the Miles block, and it is thought the new building will be in general plan much like the destroyed structure. Mr. Mark- ham expects to have a final meeting today, when all matters will be closed up, and then he will be ready to do business with the building contractor. Will Issue Cook Book. Division No. 1 of the Ladies Aid Society of the Presbyterian church will, in a short time, issue a cook book, the recipes of which will be gathered from among the ladies of the town.
