GOUNTY BOARD ADJOURNS AFTER LENGTHY SESSION Assessors Appointed for Unorganized > Territory.—Olfficials Filed State- ments of Fees. The 1910 annual meeting of the board of county commissioners of Beltrami county adjourned yester- day afternoon, after three days and a half of strenuous work in going through a large number of matters of vital interest and importance to the county. One of the commendable features of the ‘meeting was the manner in which the board handled the bills that had been filed for audit. A very large batch of claims had been filed, the larger portion of which were allowed, but a number were held up, pending investigation, some of the latter being wrong as to form, being without verification or not being itemized correctly, this being the fault found with a large number of bills which have been filed since Attorney General Simpson told the board that certain forms must be complied with in making out bills or same could not be allowed. The commissioners respectfully request that more attention be paid to= this feature of making out accounts. The bills which were rendered to the county by the chairmen of the different. town boards at the time the new county commissioners were elected, for mileage, were held up, pending a decision from the attorney general as to whether the claims were legal against the county or should be paid by the differ- ent towns whose chairmen partici- pated in the elections. All bills which have been filed with the board were taken itito con- sideration * and some’ disposition made of them, cleaning the slate as far as calims against the county hav- ing not been considered are con- cerned. Sheriff Hazen submitted the follow- ing as his list of fees received from all sources during 1909: For boarding prisoners, $1526.50; in district court, $2513.90; justice court, 31073,87; court commissioner’s court,$665.60; probate court, $351.- 98; in municipal court, $98.95; coron- er’scourt,$4.70; civil work, $1537.94; miscellaneous $19.40.

Nils Otter_stad of Turtle River was B appointed as supervisor of assess- ments for the ensuing year.

The board of audit-(the county | auditor, chairman of the board and clerk of court) made an examina- tion of the treasurer’s books and acccunts and made; report of same, which will be given in the Pioneer at a later, date. The following ‘were ‘appointed as assessors and road overseers for- the ¥ | unorganized territory of the' county: First district—T. S.

The Daily Pioneer this morning received the following special tele- gram from Minneapolis, relative to the institution of a Knights of Columbus lodge in this city: “Minneapolis, Jan. 8.— To Be- midji Daily Pioneer: J. C. Night- ningale state deputy of the Knights of Columbus, stated last night that the formation of a council at Be- midji was given serious considera- tion by state officers at the meet- ing held yesterday, and that a decision in the matter would be rendered very soon.—C. A. Shan- non.” In an interview with P. J. Russell, today, that gentleman states that local members of the Knights of Columbus have made, through A. A. Andrews, application for the forma- tion of council in this city, and that apparently there was every hope that the permission would be granted; that the request had been forwarded to Mr. Nightingale, as stated in the telegram to the Pioneer; and he was pleased to hear that careful con- sideration was being given the ap- plication. Some eighteen residents of Be- midji are members of the Crookston Council, No. 1264, Knights of Col- umbus, but the local knights are desirous of securing a council for Bemidji, as it is believed that many persons in this vicinity would join the order and affiliate with a local council, should one be established. The final decision in the matter of the application will be ‘awaited with much interest, as the organiza- tion of a council here will mean much to Bemidji. BEMADJ) PIONEER PUB. 60, - LOSES VALUABLE HELPER V. L. Ellis Disposes of His Interests in Pioneer and Associates With T. J. ‘Miller Co. After 11 years in the newspaper business in Bemidji and Northern Minnesota, Mr. Ellis sees an oppor- tunity to better- his condition, de- cides to accept the opportunity and will associate himself, after Febru- ary 1st, with the T. J. Miller Co. Mr. Ellis has been a very vauable assistant in the upbuilding of the newspaper fraternity in this city and the Pioneer regrets to lose him, but is always ready and willing to have a member of their force better their financial condition, -and Mr. Ellis has, in associating hims If with the T. J. Miller Co. gained an enviable position. T. J. Miller, he senior member of the firm, has been an indefatigable worker in the real estate and in- surance business. He founded the business in this city in 1901; in 1903 it had grown to such an extent that tore help must be obtained so ‘he sent to Minnespolis for his son, D. D. Miller, who was at'that time at- tending college, but' came to the assistance of his father, and who from that time on has had full charge of_ the insurance department, while T. ]. Miller has.had charge of the real estate and loan department. The business continued to grow to such proportions that still more assistance is needed to carry on the work and that firm have for the past year been looking for a suitable man found the right one in the person of Mr. Ellis. This firm is now carrying over a million dollars of insurance annually which will be greatly increased with the new addition of office help. T. J. Miller will after February 1st become -president and general manager, D. D. Miller will assume the duties of assistant manager and treasurer, and V. L. Ellis will be vice president and secretary of the new firm and we predict a very material. upbuilding of the business of the company in the not far distant future. Afjer February. 1st Mr. Ellis will be glad to entertain any and all of his old time associates and friends at his new home. 209 211 Bellraml Ave. as a third party and think they have |§ ““Tommy” Johnston Is a Candidate. In a letter to the editor of the pioneer, Thomas R. Johnstone of Crookston writes that sometime ago he became a candidate for membership on the Minnesota State Fair Board as a representa- tive for northern Minnesota, As Bemidji has a candidate in the person of another hustling Scotchman, W. R. Mackenzie, we would suggest that the two Bonnie Scots get together and settle which is the better man As both gentle- men are personal friends of the writer, and as we know them to be possessors of the thirty-third degree of bustling that is required of a man who leads in northern Minnesota, we'll bank on which- ever is chosen as the worthy representative of this northern section; but we are loyal to ¢“Our Mack” and hope he will land, He would ‘‘make good,” A, H. JESTER IS BEING MENTIONED FOR SENATOR Popular Secretary of Bemidji Commer- cial Club Is Suggested as Good Legislative Timber. The name of A. H. Jester of this city has been mentioned - quite fre- quently, of late, asa candidate for the repvblican ' nomination for senator from this (the Sixty-first) Senatorial district; and the sugges- tion is meeting with much approval among those who have approached in the matter. i While Mr. Jester has made no public announcement of his candi- dacy itis believed that he would make a very acceptable senator— one who could do much for the Sixty-first District; and if his candi- dacy is favorable received through- out the district, he will be solidly backed by Bemidji. District Court, Tuesday. Judge Wright will reconvene the adjourned term of district court next Tuesday, when the-trial. of court cases will: be rusumed.

Mr. Mackenzie goes toCrookston, where he will on Monday even- ing 'meet with other delegates from thissection, who are getting together for the purpose of agree- ing on a man from northern Minne- sota . for membership of the State Fair Board; and “Our Mack” will see to it that Bemidji and this county is heard from at that meet- ing, Mr. Rutledge will go to St. Paul Monday morning, and will, on Monday evening, meet with ~the members of the State Federa- tion of County Fairs, and will represent the local agricul- tural society at that meeting, where matters of general interest to the county fairs of the state will be taken up.
