To Bemidji Daily Pioneer: In last night’s Pioneer three quer- ieg were put forth by its editor. Shall Bemidjl get busy and first, Boost a House member to take D. P. O’NEIL'S place at St. Paul and, second, STEENERSON’S place at Washing- ton, and third, also take a hand in the 52nd District politici to help place a man at St. Paul from that District that ig devoting HIS TIMi aml ENERGY to divert CAPITAL and PEOPLE from NORTHERN MINNESOTA TO THE STATE OF LOUISTANA. The editor says, “Good food for thought by our electors.” As a soter, a taxpayer and a resi- dent of Bemidji, I have given these THREE SUBJECTS careful thought. My belief, the best interests of Be- midji and Beltrami county is for us all to get busy and united work for the development and settlement of Beltrami county. Two million acres of fertile lands as well as Koochich- ing counties, large unsettled area tri- butary to the M and I Ry. If those three million acres were EACH YEAR producing thirty mil- lion dollars in farm crops, Bemidji retail, wholesale and banking busi- ness as well as printing houess would do more businesg than today. That annual crop yield is a rea- sonable one, and up to us to develop and get people to grow a large area of the swamp lands of the two coun- ties, are easily cleared and when cleared and drained can be made to produce from $15.00 to $100.00 per acre per year in Timothy and Alsike clover hay and seed. A crop easily taken care of and one that does not need to be planted more than every five years. And further, when all those idle state and homestead lands are developed and on the tax rolls it will relieve the burden of the present Dioneer settlers and make home life on thy farmg more enjoyable to them., Home and local development poli- tics can be worked at every day by all of us and is far more important to our own individual home and busi- ness than state and federal offices or office holders, As to state and federal officers: D. P. O'Niel is a good man and I think loyal to our county, and is entitled to a second term.

ANNOUNCEMENT GLASS PAVING A FAILURE Experimenta In France Show the Ma: terlal Will.Not Stand the Traf- 8 fic.in Streets. Seven or elght’ years ago a plant was established at La Demi Lune, & suburb. about four miles from Lyon, France, for making glass paving ma- terial under the name of “pierre de verre: Garchey.” After many experi- ments carrled out at the factory the manufacturer applied to the Lyon mu- nicipality for the right to make a trial on one of the chief thoroughfares. The negessary authorization was granted, provided that the inventor would bear the entire expense of the undertaking. ' The place chosen for laying the glass pavement was a section:of the Place do 13 Republique, where trafic of cabs, nutomobiles and wagons of all kinds is very heavy. The glass bricks remajned in place for less than two years aud were then taken out as they were in very poor condition, the edges were all broken, and in many cases ihe blocks were split through and thrpugh. The opinion of officials here at /that, time was to the effect that tbis glass pavement could be used un- der favorable circumstances for side- wvalks, ‘but mot for the middle of streets,—Consular and Trade Reports. ‘This is the season of the year whien mothers feel very much concernedd; SR e E ten fol, sriains € Mg i) for ft§ cirag and is pleasant ‘and safe to take/ For gale by /alhdealers: v s farsomk Announcement. l\hen/ly announce my candidacy for the fflice of alderman of the first ward, be voted upon Feb. 20th, 1912, ff elected I promise to attend to th¢/duties devolving upon mey promytly, and discharge my obliga- in every sense the worf implies.
