One evening last week, Louis Ander- son was seen walking the streets in the down town section. He was un- der a sixty day jail sentence. The next evening he was seen walking in the residence section. One afternoon he spent some time on the jail porch. To be sure he was accompanied by a deputy on his walks, but the county has other use for its money than fur- nishing private guards for friends of Sheriff Hazen. On another afternoon last week, a man who had several days yet to serve on his sentence was seen down | town. He was alone. Asked if he was out of jail, he replied that he was looking for a man for Sheriff Hazen. The sheriff sends one pris- oner on errands while the paid depu- ties are used as escorts for others. It is reported to the Pioneer on good authority that one afternoon last week, a man under jail sentence spent some time in a saloon and about five o’clock left with the remark that he had to go back and report. He was back in time for supper. On an- other occasion, one of the women supposed to be confined in the county jail was seen down town shopping. The Pioneer is not making these assertions on its own authority. If the proper court officers wish to in- vestigate these charges, dates can be supplied and witnesses furnished. The sheriff is laying the county open to serious charges for if one of these prisoners was hurt or maybe killed while out on the street, the county might be held liable as negligent in keeping his pody safe during his sen- tence period. The jail was built by the county for more than a place where con- victed criminals might have a place “THIS IS MY 64TH BIRTHDAY” Bishop Millspaugh Rt. Rev. Frank R. Millspaugh, .

It was ‘Dixie’ When the president heard the music he listened intently a moment, and then, wav- ing his arms in time to the music, he began to pirouette around the room, humming the air as he went. “‘Well, well, well, Wiliam!’ ex- claimed Mrs. McKinley, in a semi- humorous, semi-shocked tone, At once Mr. McKinley stopped, assumed the stately, dignified position that was his habit, and then, getting the signal, stepped out on the balcony with his hand thrust into the breast of his coat.” Steenerson for La Follette. A press report says that Congress- man Halvor Steenerson has again Militia in Politics. The extremities to which the Taft organization is put in some states is well illustrated by the fact that yes- terday the Michigan state militia was called upon to put Roosevelt men out of the convention hall. A move- ment of this nature savors too strong- 1y of imperialism to be pleasant. Guests of the County. Sheriff Hazen is taking away the punitive effect of many jail sentences by his treatment of county prisoners. At present, those who are on good terms treated as guests. They are allowed a degree of freedom that would not be tolerat- ed in any other county of this state] and should not be in Beltrami.

HIS INTEREST NEVER FLAGS 8tory of the Colonel’s Bird-Song De- bate with John Burroughs and How He Made That Vet- P eran Yield. By GEORGE CLINTON. Washington.—In the National Mu- seum, situated on the beautiful Mall which lies between the congested part of Washington and the Potomac river, the scientists are working away on the pelts of the African animals which fell before the rifie of Theodore Roose- velt. The scientists presumably take interest in matters of national con- cern, but they are concerning them- selves more today with the Roosevelt African trophies than they are with the Roosevelt American politics. In fact, the article which follows is largely about Theodore Roosevelt, but there will be no politics in it. One of'the men who is at work In the National Museum has told sev- eral stories of the interest of Colonel Roosevelt in natural history, how it was born and how it has lived and flourished. It is said today that there 18 as much natural history talk in the editorial office on Fourth avenue, New York city, where the colone! does his writing, as there is poiitical talk, and this, of course, is saying a good deal. As the story goes, it was the meadow lark which first turned Colonel Roose- velt’s attention to nature study. The lark is appealing enough in its habit of life, in its personality and in its spring and fall songs, to ctir anybody to interest who is not beyond -the reach of things appealing. The lark started Mr. Roosevelt In bird study and he has kept it up all his life and is still keeping it up, down Sagamore Hill way. There are two meadow larks, the scientists say, the eastern and the western bird. They look alike, but one is a little larger than the other and the western bird is sald to be the more accomplished singer. His Debate with Burroughs. There is a story told of a trip which Colonel Roosevelt made to the west in late May some years ago, & trip on which he was accompanied by John Burroughs. When the traln reached the state of Indiana early in the morning the sight of scores of meadow larks flushing from the tfields started a discussion between Mr. Roosevelt and Mr. Burroughs that lasted through the breakfast hour, during all of which time the larks were in constant sight of the two distinguished disputants. It was on the matter of the lark’s song that Mr. Roosevelt and Mr, Bur- roughs disagreed. Mr. Burroughs held that the song of the eastern lark was fully as well sustained and as sweet as that of the western lark. Mr. Roosevelt held to the contrary. It was agreed that when the home_ ot the western form of the bird was reached the dispute should be seitled by a visit to the prairie to hear the bird in full song. When the western prairie was reached the “Wilderness Hunter” and “The Sage of Slabsides” left the trainm, went Into the field and settled the mooted matter of the meadow lark’s song. It is said that Mr. Burroughs after listening to the bird a while will- ingly admitted that it was a more ac- complished musician than its eastern brother. . Bird-Lover When in College. Mr. Roosevelt has as occasional companions today, when he goes ir the fields to study birds, men who were fellow. members years ago of what was called the Nuttall Orinitho- logical club in Cambridge, Mass. The colonel was then a student at Harvard and he joined the club because of his Interest in bird life. The surviving members of the club tell today of an earnest young fellow wearing big glasses who, when his turn came, would talk on the birds that he had studied in the Adirondacks or in the Maine woods. The Nuttall club finally became the American Ornithologists’ union, and it has standing today with the scientific organizations of the world. Many of the members fol- lowed ornithology as a life pursuit, and among them are several of the high officials of the biological survey of the agricultural department. There is in the Smithsonian Institu- tion today a collection of bird skins which was presented to the institution years ago by a then unknown young man named Roosevelt. As is usual in such cases, the scientists went through them with a view to finding if there was anything new and of value to sci- ence. Inasmuch as the collecting ground which young Roosevelt had Bone over had been covered thorough- ly by ornithologists at different times from the beginning of the nineteenth century, there was little hope that anything new would be found. Some | thing new was found, however, a bird Wwhich showed that it was a marked varfation from a species already Ramed. The variety 18 now well known and the credit for its discovery is glven, not to Theodore Roosevelt, sof- entist, hunter and one time president of the United States, but to Theodors Roosevelt, boy student of New York state. $ 5 ! i Careless. “Husband sick?” asked one woman. “Not seriously,” replied the other; ‘dtarthnmtoftlletnnflyhulm o bed he stayed down in the cellar Depar tment The Pioneer Want Ads OASH WITH oOoOPY 14 oent per word per lssue Regular charge rate 1 cent per word per nsertion.
