May 1, and has got this far on his
journey. He is going by a circuit
Gus route in order to make up the
distance required, and has travelled
$500 miles to date. From Bemidji
he will go to Winnipeg and from
Winnipeg will GO down the north
shore to Detroit, from Detroit to
Chicago and from Chicago to New
York.
When Tisell left San Francisco on
May he weighed 1s5 pounds. Yes
terday he weighed himself in Be-
midi and he only tipped the scales
at 142 pounds, D the forty-three
pounds having been lost en- route.
He is brown like a berry, and his
legs feel like iron.
Tisell's costume consists of a
brown cockney suit, with heavy
shoes. He is a man of medium
height, and light complexion. His
packsack,whic he carries with him,
contains but twenty-five pounds Of
luggage, including three books which
he keeps as a journal of his trip. He
has an arrangement with one of the
San Francisco newspaper syndicates
and he reports to them every day
or so. Is
Tisell is making the trip without
funds, earning his way as he goes
He works for farmers along hi
route or. anywhere they are willing
to employ a man for day or two
He says that as he has come NORTH
it has been easier to get work anc
wages are better. Tisell will be vel
repaid for his labors if he reaches
New York in time, however, as he is
to receive $4,000 if he is there by
noon on November 1.
He made the same trip last year
racing with another hiker, and ht
lost out by two weeks, owing tt
accidents. He has had some strange
adventures on the present hike, but
has met with no serious delays.
Tisell left here last evening owe,
the Great Northern tracks for Winni
peg, via Grand Forks. "A lonf
distance hike is the best thing il
the world for anyone who ca,
possibly stand the hardships. I neve
feel better, and things never seen
so bright to me, as while l am OF
the road. I lost out last year, bu
the benefits of the hike we're vel
worth the hardships. I am in t.
win now," says Tisell.

Should Secure Hitchcock.

1t has been suggested that Mayor
Pogue and the members of the
Horse Exchange, who have the
management of the proposed MAR
ket Day" in hand. could not do bet.
ter than to secure the services of C..
A. Hitchcock of Crookston as auc.
tioneer.
Mr.. Hitchcock, who is known as
"Charlie," is one of the best sellers
of stock, chattels and appurtenances
etc., in the north half of the state,
and he is a prince of "jolliers."
If the management can secure him
as auctioneer for market Day.,
they should not delay in closing q
contract with the gentleman.

WILL HOLD ANNUAL MEET
DURING. THE COUNTY FAIR.
The BeItrami County Old Settlers As
s0ciation Will Be a Feature
September 26-27.28. -

Judge Wetsel, who is president of
Beltrami County Old Settlers Asso-
citation, informs the Tribune that
the annual meeting of the associa-
ton will most likely be held in
connection with the county fair at
,Bemidji next month. Mr.. Wetsel
further states that the association is
not what it should be for the lack
of interest and needs resurrection.
Since the new officers were elected
at Blackduck last year very little
interest has been taken in the asso-
citation, as it has been impossible to
secure the records from the former
officers and ascertain the standing
of the association.
The present officers are: Geo.
H. Wetsel, President; L. G. Pender-
gast,vice President; Henry Stechman,
Secretary; w. D. Bright, Treasurer.
Interest should not lack in an
association of so important nature
as the Old Settlers Association of
Beltrami County, and every effort
should be made to resurrect the
society. The association is about
eight years old.-Tenstrike Tribune.
The Pioneer has been informed
that J. w. Speelman Of Buena Vista,
ex-secretary of the Old Settlers as
sociation, has the records Of the
association; and if he has, he should
at once turn them over to his sue
cessor, in order that the work of
getting out the program and arrang-
ing for the meeting to be held dur
ing fair week (Sept. 26-27-28)may
be commenced.
The Pioneer would like to hear
from Mr.. Speelman on the matter;
not for the purpose of starting row,
but for the sole purpose of getting
the annual meeting a-going.

and tell him where Lee was. He inform
ed General Grant that General Lee, Col
