WHAT THEY SAY.

E. r. Mcdonald: can effort
should be made to get company
Of national guards in Bemidji.
This city is located only a short
distance from extensive mining
properties and a company could
get from here to the scene of the
present disturbance near Hib-
bling much sooner than from
other points that have militia
companies. y
G.. A. fuller: "Our store in
Bemidji is doing an excellent
business. I consider this city
as one of the best business points
in all ofnorthern Minnesota, and
as a proof Of the confidence
which the company has in its fu :.
ture we have made arrangements
to lease the Swed back building,
where hardware stock will be
put in. !"
Rev. r. b Higgins: s'Please

taken the field so largely I with

The report of the public ex
aminer to the governor touching
the acts Of various Beltrami
county officials is redolent Of the
footprints of Andy Danaher.
The public examiner acting on
information laid before him by
one of his deputies, who with
Mr.. Danaher constantly at his
elbow, spent some two weeks or
more Investigating Beltrami
affairs, has made serious charges
of official misconduct against a
majority of the officers of the
county. Whether these charges
are true or false is not for the
Pioneer or for any man to say
until the mission to be ap
pointed by the governor shall
have made its report. If the
charges are true the accused off,
Gals should be summary dis
missed from Office; if they are
false the officers are entitled to
and shall receive a public vindica.

But the source from which the
charges spring cannot inspire
much respect for the report of
the public examiner. Everybody
in Beltrami county knows that A.
w. Danaher, chairman of the
board of county com missioners
solicited the visit of the deputy
examiner to this city, that the
Investigations of the deputy were
made with Mr.. Danaher con-
stantly at his elbow and that the
report Of the deputy to his chief
EN- braced only such items as Mr..
Danaher saw fit in his wisdom to
suggest. Everybody in Beltrami
county knows also that Danaher

professional wrestler, saloon
