We, the undersigned, tax payers and voters of said con missioner’s district, wish to call to your special attention some important facts about and concerning our present county commissioner, L. O. Myhre. He has lived in the Third com- missioner’s district for the past thir- teen years, and knows the needs of the district. He has been elected town clerk of the Town of Liberty for the past eleven terms and has filled the office in a very conscientious and pains- taking manner, and we believe that the Town of Liberty has as good a town clerk as there is in the county of Beltrami, At the time he was elected county Commissioner Mr. Myhre consist- ently refused to become a candidate for that office and only consented to let his name be used a few days be- fore election, and that he has dis- charged the duties of such commis- sioner in a fair and impartial man- ner. We know that nothing can move him an inch from performing his official duties as such county commissioner. Since he has had but one year in that office it would be but fair play to give him a full term now, and we heartily recom- mend his re-election. C: F. Rogers, president of coun- cil Wilton Minn, M.

Congressman Steenerson of Crookston Journal reporter in Minneapolis yesterday that Gifford Pinchot was responsible for the duty on lumber imposed by the Payne tariff bill. Mr, Steenerson’s statement was made in an interview in which he Tawney in congress and was quali- fied by the statement that he be- lieved Mr. Pinchot an absolutely sincere worker for the public good, but could not agree with some of his theories, Mr. Steenerson was questioned concerning Colonel Rocsevelt’s criti- cisim of Mr. Tawney and Senator Knute Nelson's letter in defense of Mr. Tawney. “I am sorry to see that Colonel Roosevelt said what he did about Mr. Tawney,” said Congressman Steenerson. ‘I believe Mr. Tawney has always been actuated by the best interests of his district and his state. He is one of the foremost men in congress and his entire career in that body has, so far as I know been a credit to the state. “I believe that Gifford Pinchot is a good man, actuated by the best of motives, but I think some of his methods impractical. Mr. Pinchot is undoubtedly responsible for the present duty on lumber. At the last session of congress, during the Payne tariff discussion, publicity was given letters in which Mr. Pinchot, form- erly a free lumber man, changed his position and advocated a duty. In his speech at Rochester attacking Mr. Tawney, Mr. Pinchot made no explanation of his conduct in this particular. ““Mr. Pinchot was for free lumber at the start. He was not influenced by ulterior motives in changing his mind, but I do believe that he changed his mind without thorough- ly studying the situation.” “There are other ideas of Mr. Pinchot with which I cannot agree. One of them is his attitude toward logging.” Mr. Steenerson is confident of re- told a Minneapolis|- ‘SORE’ EMPLOYE TIES UP S00 WORK HERE Engineer Decides to Quit and His Suc- cessor Finds Engine in Crip- pled Condition.

The breakdown is said to have been caused by an engineer who be- came disgruntled yesterday and quit work but not, say the officials, until he had unloosened screws and pur- posely disarranged the mechanism of the eugine. When an effort was made to start the engine today the pieces began to fly and in a short time a shank had been broken and so much machinery was out of place that the engine had to be stopped. A crew of expert mechanicians are at work on the crippled engine. It is expected that it will be re- paired so that it can go ahead with the work by tomorrow morning. “In the meantime,” said George Huss, engineer in charge of the construction work, “it is likely that we shall proceed to lay rails by hand. We are only about a half a mile from the Mississippi river. “We want to get the span over the river as soon as possible and despite the setback of today we ex- pect to have it in place soon, prob- ably tomorrow.” The construction of the bridge completed M & L crew was nomination in the ninth district.

Early yesterday afternoon ther- mometers registered 81 degrees. Soon afterward the mercury began to shrink like a woolen shirt, pass- ing the 50 mark early in the even- ing and continuing in its down- ward career until sunrise this morn- ing when it reached 43 degrees, only eleven above the freezing point. What’s more it is going to stay crimpy for the next twelve hours, anyhow. At the City drug store, where thermometer and barometer readings are recorded, the barometer this this afternoon flies the clear and cool flag and this is substantiated by wire forecasts out of Washington. Should the wind die down it is likely that there will be frost to- night. The cool wave has not taken in a large territory and it is expected to pass on by tomorrow afternoon.
