In the light of recent events it may not be inappropriate to call atten- tion at this time to the taxable valu- ation of Beltrami county. In this connection we present the following official figures: T g S.es |8 s Fdgaer = T fLa S oo |3 ER R ) i EL g, =l = @ . 5 J 2z 2 g% A S Bow|a o gam |3 w Ao |a L & | e PRDE ST S Eaa o8 A o - & s T M ] = a B oo 5 3 @ | e M G e L i - e®o s § a9 R @ 5 o E B @ = Soo |« 2 3o |2 25 e B | S B s gsE | R IR 2 g o < k| E o oo > o 5 23 The increase in acreage valuation is on account of added lands to the tax lists and shows that vacant lands are being settled up rapidly. The decrease in lot valuation is due to the loss of property in the northern part of the county, from the extensive fires of a year ago. The decrease is| personal property covers almost all the townships. owing to small assess-| ments. # The tax fevy for 1911 shdwu' 14. 92 mills for the county and 3 8 mills for the Stlu‘ ‘of an immigfl.fio commlgaio er, Mackenzie of this ‘man fof the place. As secretary of the Northern Minnesota Develnpment agsociatiofi, Mr. Mackenzie has.show rare natural ability in the work of development and his - experience along this line in Minnesota would add to his value'as a servant of the state. It would seem decidedly ap- propriate ~ that Northern Minnesota be given serious consideration when ry | the appointment of a commissioner is made and in view-of his past'record; the North will undoubtedly back Mr. Mackenzie for this high and import- T'|ant ofice. Friends of Mr. Macken- zie now have an opportunity to prove their loyalty to him by urging his appointment. THE ST. CLOUD CONVENTION. assembled ~ the Northern Minnesota Development as- In convention wise to steer clear of the proposition to hold an extra session of the legis- lature this winter for the purpose of passing a reapportionment bill. There was no question as to the attitude of the convention on this point. We assume that there was no effort to influence the one way or the other and that what convention happened was a free expression from the delegates present. o The sentiment overwhelmingly was against an extra session. The north- ern counties knew that reapportiox}‘— ment and an extra session was to come up. If any county believed, as did the Daily Pioneer, thag an effort at prompt reapportionment was worth the effort, they surely should have had men there to fight. There- fore, although the action of the St. Cloud convention on reapportion- ment does not harmonize with our honest views and convictions, it by no means leaves a bitter taste in our mouth. The Daily Pioneer believes in per- mitting the majority to rule. The St. Cloud convention in no un- certain manner went on against an extra session. tion apparently record This ac- indicates that the North believes that the moment to strike for reapportionment is not propitious, and incidentally, it must be taken as vindication of the stand assumed by Governor Eberhart. POVOOOPOOOOOOO®O® © Politics and Politicians. nA R R R R RO RRCY Oshkosh, Wisconsin, has adopted the commission plan of government. The first presidential primary elec- “|tions in the United States will be held in North Dakota on March 19 next. N i Senator Wetmore of Rhode Island and Senator Guggenheim of Colorado have announced their intentions to retire at the end of their present terms. The Lotus Club, a non-partisan political organizations of New York city, is to have Governor Harmon of Ohio as its guest of honor next month, Next year in the presidential con- ventions of the two dominant par- ties, Republican and Democratic, there will be in each from 1,060 to 1,070 delegates. Ben F. Caldwell, formerly well known as a member of Congress, has made announcement of his candi- dacy for the Democratic nomination for governor of Illinois. The Massachusetts Socialists just succeeded in getting at the November election the three per cent that en- titles them to be called a party and to have a place on the official ballot, Presidential preference will be among the matters submitted to the voters of Tennessee at the State pri- maries to be conducted by the “In- dependent” Democratic party next April. g As a result of the elections held last November the commission form of government has increased 10 per cent in the United States, measured by.the population of the cities adopt- ing it. A circumstance unknown to the average voter of .today is that Penn- sylvania was almost as reliably Dem- ocratic previous to 1860 -as it has been robustly Republican ever' since’| that year.

Of the five cases in the accident ward that were pronounced cured ai the same time three remained in the hospital more than a. week after the other two had goue home. “They had to stay,” said an intarne, “to get used to their wooden legs. It takes some time to learn to manage wooden legs, and most men who will have to peg along with thksm for the rest of their natural lives stay in the hoapital several -days after they get weil to practice stumping around on their new legs. Of course they can learn outside, but the man who has just acquired a wooden- leg feels so awk- ward and is so likely to fall down and break the other leg or an arm or maybe his neck that we prefer to keep him here so he can take his first les- sons under our supervision.” — New York Times. The Funny Penguins. Of all the foreign birds to be seen in zoological collections it is the peaguins that gain the most popularity with the least attempt to do so, says a writer in the London Graphic, who proceeds: They .do not affably converse with the public.like parrots or make grotesque gramaces like pelicans. ~Indeed, they studiously ignore the visitors whom they attract by their inimitably quaint caricature of humanity. No birds de- part more in form from the usual bird type, -and _there is something- about them - which irresistibly suggests an overfed little boy in an overcoat with the. sleeves very much too tight for him as they toddle about with their stiff wings hanging down or solemnly meditate a three inch jump.

Traveling Man's'Remarkabie : Statement Several years ago I was troubled with Bright’s Disease, which worried me a great deal as my father who had doctored a long time with the best doctors of eKndalville, Ind., without relief or cure, died of that dreadful disease. Having been around my father most of the time during his illness,I became familiar with the symptoms of Bright's Disease. When I had my first attack my face became swollen and a]l grew black ‘before my eyes and-1'felt as though there was little hope for me. After having several of these attacks,. I began taking Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp- Root, which my wife recommended to me and noticing some improvement continued its use for one year, never missing one day but taking same as regular as though a physlcian was preseribing for me. It is now two. years that I discon- tinued the use of Swamp-Root as I consider myself absolutely cured of any trouble, having had no use for a doctor or any other medicine and have been able to resume my: posi- tion on the road. 1 fully believe that had my father taken Swamp-Root in time, he would have been alive today and we would l;m'e been saved many a big doctor I believe that if people afflicted with any kind of kidney or bladder disease would take Swamp-Root in time and use it regular, they would cure themselves and save much suf- fering as big doctor bills. 1 feel very grateful toward- your medicine and never fail to tell what Swamp-Root did for me. You are at liberty to use this testi- mony at. any time. Yours very truly, John Duerr, Des Moines, Iowa. State of Iowav 58 Polk County.

But at the sight of his silver chain his medals, his sword, his gold topped cane and his three cornered hat the Abyssinians could not be ex- ‘pected to know they were in the pres- ence of a mere servant. So bowing low repeatedly, they approached him slowly and with ‘great respect until they were within reach of his coattails, which, one on either side, they seized in their hands and kissed. The usher did not know what to do, but the ap- pearance of the mlnIster relieved the situation. Bathing In Gold. A Parisian journalist who had spec- ulated in railway shares won 200,000 francs as the result of a lucky ven- ture. Drawing it in gold, he proceed- ed to a hotel, emptied the bags of gold in the bed and went to sleep lit-! erally in the sands of Pactolus. The man was so crazed by his good for- tune that he found indescribable pleas- ure in reveling in a golden bath. Paganini, the violinist, when he re- celved the proceeds of his'concerts (he insisted upon being paid in gold) used to wash his hands in sovereigns. A French novelist, Soulie, wrote a book called “The Memoirs of the Dev- 1.” It was successful. The publish- ers paid him for the first volume $10;- 000 in gold. The author carried the gold to his bedroom, poured it into a foot bath and enjoyed for half an hour the excitement of moving his feet to and fro in a bath of gold coins, smok- ing meanwhilé - the biggest of Ha- vanas.
