DESERVED REBUKE GIVEN
MALIGNER OF OUR COUNTY
p j. Russell Answers Scurrilous Attack Made by NJ W.
Mcdonald, in Communication to the Duluth Even
ing Herald. ...McDonald Called to Account.

The Pioneer recently reproduced
with some unfavorable comment)
an article published in the Duluth
Evening Herald, wherein one M. w.
Mcdonald, self styled pioneer
lumberman of the Northwest" at
tackled the moral conditions of Bel
trami and Clearwater counties.
P. ]. Russell, the well-known
local attorney, has written a letter
to the Herald, wherein he takes
commendable exception to the
statements made by Mcdonald.
In his letter, Mr.. Russell says:
In your issue of the End, you
publish a statement or interview by
one M. w. Mcdonald, a Pioneer
Lumberman of the Northwest re-
garding the conditions among the
poor settlers in Beltrami and Clear
water counties. This statement is
false and slanderous in the extreme,
and I fail to see how you can justify
it's publication.
This man MITCHELL Unlike Nc
Donald) does not own an acre of
landn or foot of timber in either of
the counties which he so wantonly
maligns, and it is safe to say he has
not been in either county twice in
his lifetime. No better proof of
this mans absolute ignorance of
conditions in this county need be
had than his statement. Many of
the men holding claims in these
counties are retired lumberjacks, and
now that their occupation is gone,
are making scant living from
raising a few potatoes and small
vegetables .~-a~z -
There is not a homesteader in
Beltraai county, who needs employ
ment, but can find it in the lumber
camps at fair wages. AS matter of
fact, hundreds of men are shipped in
to supply the demand. There is not
a settler in Beltrami county, who
cannot sell sufficient timber of some
kind to keep his family from want.
This fellow wants to pose as a
philanthropist. Who are the child
rem he took from this county? And
from what part of the county have
they been taken? From the inter.
view, one would think he had taken
about all the children in the county.
