THE BE] VOLUME 6. NUMBER 108. HENRY FUNKLEY GIVES HIS VIEWS ON “PLATFORM” Promises If Nominated and Elected to Give His Best Services for the Benefit of the District He Is to Represent.—Will Make Good If Elected. Henry Funkley, candidate for re- presentative was seen by the Pioneer reporter at his office this morning after having his attention called to his opponent’s platform, as recently published in the Pioneer, and upon being asked about his views concern- ing same, Mr. Funkley said: “I have seen My opponent’s plat- form, and I am not going to runa race with him in making election promises. I suppose that if I would try I could make as many promises as he can but I am not going to do it. I made some promises before the last election when I was running for county attorney, and many is the time that I was afraid that I could not fulfill them. I am more alarmed this moment about whether I will be able to ac- complish what I should for the dis- trict, in the event that I am elected, than I am concerned about my election. I know that if'I don’t “‘make good” that the “stuff is off”’ with me in politics forever, and I am not ready just yet. “I think I know the needs of the district and realize the immense responsibility that must rest upon the shoulders of its representative, and my every fiber vibrates with the desire to accomplish what the district needs, and I would a hun- dred times rather go down to defeat in this election than not be able to ‘make good’ as representative after election.” (At this point Mr. Funkley’s hand came down on the desk with tremendous force,) resum- ing he said: “Tell your readers that it is after election that the work begins for the representative; that golden election promises are- like rainbows to a thirsty crop, and election platforms are like' the curl on a pig’s tail—more for an orna- ment than anything else.” In Judge of Probate’s Office. Three cases were taken up this morning by Judge of Probate Clark.; A final hearing was listened to in the estate of Frank Parent, who lives in Wisconsin but left property in Blackduck. In the matter of the estate of Edith M. Jones, formerly of this city, J. P. Lahr of this city was appointed administrator. After listening to the final evi- dence in the estate of Virginia Bennington, who formerly lived in this city, the administrator was dis- charged, his duties having been completed. Harris Popular at Tenstrike. J. O. Harris, the present register of deeds, is losing no sleep over the approaching campaign. He has filed for the republican nominatior and will soon commence an active campaign. Jim is a popular fellow and the office of register of deeds { has been conducted by him ina very satisfactory wmanner, and we hardly believe that the people desire a change.—Tenstrike Tribune.

MacKenzie, Sec’y IT WON'T BE UNANIMOUS FOR THWING IN ITASCA The Home County of the Judicial As- pirant Has Not-All Been ““Thwing-ed.” Of late the newspapers, which are supporting. Mr. Thwing for the republican nomination for judge of the Fifteenth Judicial district, have been liberally quoting the following, taken from the Grand Rapids Herald- Review: “One of the qualities needed by a judge is a fitness by education and training and experience to grasp the eration before him -and grasp them quickly. It'stands to reason that if a lawyer has been in the thick of the fight, dealing with -and solving daily many intricate_ problems of various kinds, his mind will be alert, his judgement will be active and his energy will make itself manifest. In Mr. Thwing we have such a lawyer, whose services have made him valu- able to his clients. Altho he is young, yet his experience along many lines and his activity peculiarly fits him for the duties.of the office to which he aspires.” Last week the Grand Rapids Independent answered the above as follows: “Exactily! we cheerfully admit that a judge need the quality ‘men- tioned by our contemporary:. We also cheerfully admit its dedection that a lawyer who has been in the thick of the fight and has daily solved many intricate problems will naturally be- of alert mind, active judgement and manifest energy. But with its conclusion that Mr. Thwing is such a lawyer the plainly apparent facts of the case compel us to differ. And we would be greatly Lobliged to our neighbor, or to any else who can do so, for the citing of any legal case of importance in which Mr. Thwing has been engaged since his entry into the Itasca county bar in which he showed the fitness—by which we understood ability—to grasp the details on the subject under consideration before him,”—either quickly or otherwise. Also we would be pleased to be shown what “manyintricate problems of various kinds, dealt with and solved daily,”—or even one such— Mr. Thwing has' met up with and vanquished since he has ‘“been “in the thick of the fight” in this county. Please show us.” < It is very evident that itasca is by no means unanimous for Mr. Thwing. Krouse and Wessel ‘‘Hibernated.” W. B. Krouse of Crookston, Minn, U. S. A, and M.

Made a Trip Down Mississippi to Cass Lake in Seven Hours. A trip down the Mississippi river in a canoe is becoming very popular with the summer residents on the shores of Lake Bemidji. Howard Booker and Bert Selby of Grand Forks, N. D., arrived in the city Saturday afternoon from Bena where they had gone in a canoe \by floating down the Mississippi river. The two boys started from here last Monday afternoon and'went leisurely down the stream, camping -nights along the banks of the river. They reached Bena Saturday morning and returned to the city on the afternoon train, Ray Holmes, N: Currie and Young Williams of Grand Forks, who are spending the summer at Lakeside, left Lake. Bemidji Thursday and went down as far as Cass Lake, camping on the way. They bad a very enjoyable time and returned to the city Saturday afternoon. Professor Kennedy, of the Uni- versity of North Dakota, and his son, James, left Grand Forks Bay Saturday morning at 7:06 and paddled down the “Father of Waters,” reaching the Cass Lake boat-house at 1:56 in the afternoon and thus making the trip in six hours, and fifty minutes. This record is forty minutes faster than any prev- ious trip made by any residents of this summer resort, the last record trip being made in seven and one- half hours by Frank Street and Byron Wilson of Royalton and Bob and Edgar Stewart of Webb City, Mo., who were spending a few months in Bemidji, about four weeks ago. Those who have made the down- river trip by canoe have goiten along nicely, but several who have gone down by rowboat have not been so fortunite. There are several rapids in the river, where there are piles of big rocks and the deep row- boats had to be pulled across the rocks, necessitating the occupants of the boats getting out into the water and pulling their craft along.

C,, a topoerapher of the United States Geological Survey who is at present in charge of all drainage work in the state of Minnesota, came in Saturday noon from a trip to one of his camps north of Solway. When interviewed by a Pioneer reporter, Mr. Meade. stated that he was carrying out the conditions of the Steenerson bill which passed Congress in” 1906 and which calls for a geological survey of all ceded sota in order to determin the feasi- bility of draining these lands. Mr. Meade reported that he found the work in the camp nérth of Sol- way and in the region of the Lost River to be progressing very satis- FORTY CENTS PER MONTH GOVERNMENT GEOLOGICAL SURVEY NEARLY FINISHED A.

Mr. Meade himself is in charge of a camp on the east rapids of the Rainy river, about fifty miles west of International Falls, and be is thor- oughly convinced of the feasibilty of draining the northern swamp lands. Already 5,000 square miles have been surveyed since 1906, and there remains only about 500 square miles to be gone over. To complete this work will take, in the estimation of Mr. Meade, about six weeks. He expects to finish the work before cold weather and will then return with his reports to Washington, D. C., to give his final estimates on the drainage condition of northern Min- nesota. Brinkman Family Theatre. Clifford and Aimes, the greatest laugh producers, will appear at the Brinkman this- evening in Jack Burnett’s laughable play entitled “An Irish Wooing.” = This piece is known as the “Emerald comedy” of Mr. Burnett’s writings.

This equals the Sweet Marie record, second heat made in 1907, and sets a new world’s record in the time made by a gelding on a race track during a race. - Highball did the quarter in 29:3-4, the half in one minute flat, and the three-quarter in 1:30.3-4. He woun the race in straight heats.
