STANTON Akeley Tribune Says the Judge Has Made an Enviable Record on the Bench. The Akeley Tribune pays the following deserved compliment to C. W. Stanton, ex-judge of the Fif- teenth Judicial district. “Hon. C. W. Stanton, judge of the Fifteenth judicial district, re- tired from office last Tuesday, and his successor, Hon. B. F. Wright of Park Rapids, was duly installed into that exalted office. Judge Stanton has made an enviable record as judge of the district court for efficiency, having proven him- self a man of exceptional judicial ability. *'He is immensely popular through- out the district. If the judiciary was withdrawn from politics, we know of no more acceptable man or a man who possesses more essential qualifications than Judge Stanton. He is a man of unusual mental prowess. His office has been kept up in excellent shape, the judge always having all his business at his fingers’ tips, so to speak. “He ‘was always decidedly fair and impartial in his decisions and his integrity has never been ques- tioned. The Tribune understands that Mr. Stanton will take up active practice in the city of Bemidji, which news will be well received by people in this section of the state who need the services of a first-class attorney, who may be strictly relied upon by his clients—not inferring in the least that many such do not live and practice in this district.” Bid for Care of City Poor. Sealed bids will ke received by the | City Clerk of the City of Bemidji] Minnesota for the boarding, nursing and caring for the City’s poor and ailing and the caring for persons <Parties bidding shall be required to furnish suitable quarters, --board, nurses for such poor and si¢k and for persons afflicted with contageous diseases when the latter are unable to do so themselves, to do all wash- ing and mending and furnish tobacco to parties adicted to the tobacco habit.

Trask, formerly pastor of the Methodist church at Herman but now a resident of this city, has leased the Bemidji Steam Laundry from John Graham of this city for. a period of five years and will assume the management of that establish- ment on the 18th of this month. Mr. Trask is renovating and re- modeling the interior of the laundry and is installing new machinery of the latest improved type. It is his intention to employ none but expert help and to conduct the business in a thoroughly up-to-date manner. The new manager is well known in this city and will doubtless show that he is capable of handling the laundry in the best possible manner. Mr. Trask announces that his wife, who is principal of the schools at Herman, and his daughter, Bertha, a student at the University of Minne- sota, will both return to this city in March. Additiona' local matter will be found afflicted with contageous diseases. WANT SUGGESTIONS OF NAMES FOR CUSTODIAN Prof. Green Acquiesces in Pronolilio}l for New Itasca Commissioner to Succeed Arnold. As a result of the protests which have been made against the action of the State Forestry Board in ap- pointing Martin Hinzelman as cus- todian of the Itasca State Park to succeed R. C. Arnold, resigned, it is probable - that the board will accept recommendations for the position from the commercial clubs of Bemidji, Bagley, Park Rapids and Akeley, so that the residents of this section of the state may have a J. ). Trask of This City Has Leased the | say” as to.who shall be in charge of this beautiful state property which is so close to our doors. Considerable controversy, and some bad feeling, has been en- gendered by the discussion of the manner in which the affairs at the park have been conducted, and no doubt there has been some unjust criticism heaped upon those who claim they have been putting forth every effort to maintain the park in a proper manner and at the same time to conduct a forestry summer school that would be of great benefit, according to those in charge of the park. The appointment of Hinzelman to succeed Arnold appears to meet with much adverse comment, and some talk concerning Mr. Hinzelman has been rather pointed; but when the writer took the matter up with Professor Samuel B. Green, of the department of agriculture (division of forestry) of the State University, last week, that gentleman offered to abide by the decision of the people, if some other competent man could be selected by the rep- tesentative of the Remidji, Park Rapids, Bagley and Akeley Commer- cial clubs, which places are nearest the park, providing the'man selected on fourth page. could be “o. k.d” as to morality and GILL BROS.

Professor Green claims there has been much adverse comment that is absolutely ' without foundation—in fact, he does not hesitate to brand some of the assertions made against himself and the members of the for- estry board as being absolutely false. Be that as it may, the people of this part of the state would like to have a “say” in naming the custodian of the park—and it is more than likely that the commercial . bodies .of the places mentioned will agree on a name to be consldered by the fores- try board. CEETSS Will Be Buried Tomorrow. - Robert Craise, who' died in this city last Thursday, will be buried tomorrow morning, the tuneral being held under the auspices of the Bemidji Lodge of Odd Fellows. The funeral will be held at 10 o'clock at the Methodist church, Reverend Deniston conducting the services, The remains will be. laid to rest in Greenwood Cemetery. It was decided to hold the inter- ment here after the 'receipt of a telegram from the deceased’s sister in California asking that the remaius be quietly buried here. “GHEERFUL LOSER” NOT Spooner Northern News Man ‘Wonders’ at Pioneer’s Attitude Toward Rep- resentative Opsahl.” The Bemidji Daily Pioneer an- nounces this week J. J. Opsahl’s good legislative measures to be presented, and in emphasis of its declaration, prints a two column halftone picture of that gentleman. Notover' three months ago there was not a credita- ble act or idea that Mr. Opsahl was ever guilty of, according to the Pion- eer. We wonder what induced the change of heart and sentiment in the Pioneer sanctum; or was that merely the game of politics’—Spoon- er Northern News. There are a lot of things which harrow-minded pin-heads like Editor Huss cannot comprehend, much less practice,. When Mr. Opsahl won out in’' the primaries, the Pioneer, with true manliness, congratulated the gentleman, and we unhesitatingly stated that we would be with him in all matters which portended the general welfare of Bemidji and Bel- trami county; and for this reason alone we shall not place one impedi- ment in Representative Opsahl’s path toward “making good.” The writer hereof has been honor- ed by the confidence of our represen- tative in the legislature, during his first week in St. Paul—in fact, we have been constantly in his company and he has been good £nough to im- part to us information relative to his attitude on many measures that will come up for consideration; and we have co-operated with him in a con- siderable measure. Like ourselves, he “buried the hatchet” and linked arms with us in pushing the develop- ment of northern Minnesota gener- ally, and is good enough to overlook “bygones.” If the mental calibre of our erstwhile nincompoop friend Huss (who, .accordiog to an old saw has the dysentry of words and con- stipation of. intellect) were broad enough to comprehend what true manliness consisted of, he would readily understand that “boodle” and “coin of the iealm” are not everything in this world. There are “other things which occasionally predominate the pursuit for “filthy lucre;” and, by the way, the people of Spooner would be much better off did they possess a newspaper man who is broad-ganged enough to co-operate with his fellows in- stead of attempting to pick quarrels with men who have spent a life- time in learning a business in which, though old in years, Huss has hardly - passed the cradle stage.

The races will start at 9:15 P. M. sharp. Admission, twenty-five cents. After Primary Law. - The primary election law will come in for mach discussion by the legis- lature this winter. Many favor its repeal, others want it extended - to include state officers, and a majority: favor amendents which will eliminate the interference of one party with nominations of arother. i The objection to the present law naturally comes from the republican partv which has always been domi- nant in this state. It . is claimed that the old convention system served to bring the party workers together, the offices were equitably distributed, rousing resolutions were passed, and a strong feeling of party fealty was instilled into the delegates, which is utterly lacking under - the present system. For this reason many who do not like the present law yet deem it unwise to propose its repeal, sug- gest an amendment whereby delegat- es may be chosen by a direct prim- ary. : It is believed that this amendment will receive serious consideration from the legislature. Just now the country press is devoting much space to the primary law and this together with public sentiment as manifested to the legislature will do much to determine the result.

Bardwell Gets Raise of Pension. Corporal George A. Bardwell of Bemidji has received notice through Congressman Steenerson of the allow- ance of his claim fér an increase of pension to $20 a month from Decem- ber 18, 1908. Mr. Bardwell was a member of Co. E. 3rd Minn., during the civil war, and his increase is due to the fact that he has reached the age of 75 years, and he is entitled to the $20 under the age pension law. Notice.
