attorney is one of the most important,
and in making your choice for this
office people should guard their own
interests. =.
AS the county grows older the
expenses will tighten, this being due
to the fact that the county becomes
settled and developed.
D. H..Fisk, who seeks the nomi-
nation for county attorney, is an
attorney Of experience, having
practiced law for the last thirty-fve
years.
In all his dealings with the county
Mr.. Fisk announces that his plat
form will be a just and equitable
assessment of both real and personal
property and an economical admin
stration of the county's affairs.
Coming before the people with
this declaration of principle aud
taking into consideration his expert
ence as an attorney, and knowing
his disposition to deal justly, fairly
and impartially with all, we do not
hesitate to recommend him for nomi-
nation and election to take the place

John Wilmann, the present county

would ask the voters to consider the
following questions before you cast
your ballot at the primaries, Septem-
Der IS, 1908: $3.50 ~.
If a man you have hired to work
for you has given satisfaction would
you discharge him simply because a
man of whom you know nothing
wants his job? -.~<
If a county officer makes good and
proves his worth in office, is it to
your interest as a taxpayer to put
him out and put in his place man
VINO can only make you promises?
Is a good record in a public office
worth anything?
Don't you owe it to yourself
to vote for a man who makes good

During his four years in office
County Auditor Wilmann has be-

At all times his decision and the

It is amusing to note that state
ment made by Mr.. Opsahl, in the
last issue of the Clearwater Crystal,
in which he says:
Our district has shared literally
in the state road funds, and the last
session made a direct appropriation
of 100000 for roads and bridges,
of which Beltrami gets $780,
Clearwater $4,000, Red Lake $4,S5o
- or $1,000 for my
part of the district, while my pro-
rata share if divided among 119
members would have been $3.50"

George Markham was born at
Holyoke, Mass, Nov. 9, 1885, being
at his death % years old, and came
to Bemidji with his brother J. l..
Markham, who is at present con-
nected with the Beltrami County
News, at the age of Is. The
brothers made their home here with
J. M. Markham, their uncle, who,
until his death, three years ago,
operated the Markham hotel.
After leaving the hotel George
became timekeeper and later held a
more responsible position in the
Office of the Crookston Lumber
company. His first venture in bust
ness was partnership with VIM.
Schisel under the name Markham-
Schisel Company conducting
general lumber and fuel business,
which continued until his removal
to Hibblng two years ago this fall to
assume the, management of the Hotel
Miles, and in which he was Dart
owner, being associated with C. H.
Miles of this city. This business he
carried on successfully until the
property, which was the largest
hotel in Northern Minnesota was
destroyed by-hre last Nezember.
After the fire, in which he suffer
ed a heavy loss he attempted to
organize stock company to rebuild
the house, but on the account of
money stringency was unsuccessful,
and about six weeks ago went to Gull
bertson, Montana where he secured
lease on a hotel and was to have
taken charge August 1. During the
intervel he went to Kalispell to visit
with the family of Geo. McCrea, who
formerly lived here, and was stricken
with the disease that claimed his
life. Not being of robust physique
he could not stand the ravages of
pneumonia and after partly con-
valescing suffered relapse.
The first news of his critical con-
dition was message to his brother,
last Wednesday, who left that night
but failed to arrive before death had
claimed its victim. He brought the
body here Monday noon. s
In the death of George Markham
a promising life has gone out. He
was the embodiment of self-con-
fidence and was amply gifted to
have made successful man of
affairs. His mind was broad, his
ideas liberal, and in business deal
ings he was honest and prompt.
During his brief career took time
from business affairs to officiate as
secretary of the Bemidji Commercial
club, and held same position at
Hibbing. At the age of 20 he was
honored by being elected delegate to
the republican state convention at
Duluth, being q years old the day
the convention set. ....-~ r.. -
He is survived by a mother,
brother and sister who will make
their future home here.

The funeral of George Markham,
who died last Friday morning at the
Northwestern hospital in Kalispel,
Montana, after six weeks illness
from pneumonia, was held this morn
ing at $50 from the St. Phillips
Catholic church, Rev. FIR. O'Dwyer
officiating.
The funeral was held under the
auspices of the local Elk lodge who
attended in a body and escorted the
remains to Greenwood cemetery
where interment was made.
The funeral services held at the
church were impressive in the ex-
IRENE, FIR. Dwyer rendering the
solemn requiem high mass of the
Roman Catholic faith, and after the
ceremony spoke at length on the
untimely death of the young man.
FIR. Dwyer said, that separation is
the hardest blow that affects human
ity. The breaking of the ties in
this case was more deplorable for
the fact that George Markham had
been the main support of his invalid
mother. He also touched upon his
manliness and the bright, promising
future cut by the hand of providence,
and paid the highest tribute that
could be uttered under the dome
shawdowing the sacred alter by
adding that he had always been
steadfast to the faith of his child
hood and a loyal supporter of the
church. In his closing remarks
FIR. Dryer, who was the late Mark
hams personal friend, became
visibly affected and at the closing of
the ceremony there was hardly a dry
eye among the large attendance
present, despite the early hour at
which the obsequsies were held.
After the rites in the church the
casket encasing the remains, which
was covered with a profusion of
wreaths and flowers loving tributes
from the Elk lodges of Kalispell,
Hibbing and Bemidji, and also the
Hibbing lodge of Eagles. in addition
to those sent by personal friends
from all sections of the country, was
conveyed to the cemetery, the
cortege being escorted by the local
Elks.
The services at the cemetery
were brief, FIR. Dwyer reading the
usual mass in the presence of a
large number of people who followed
the remains to the grave and with
bowed heads uncovered, bid all that
was mortal of Geo. Markham a last
farewell.
The funeral was directed by Un-
dertaker R. J. Murphy, who was
assisted by w. ]. Ryder of Hibbing.
The pallbearers were chosen from
among the young men of this city
with whom the deceased was early
associated and grew to manhood
with, being DR.. Tuomy, Tim Crane,
Frank Slipp, Arthur Gould, Tom
Mccain and Ed. Gould.
A number of people came over
from Hibbing, where Markham was
engaged in business until leaving
for the west, among them being Jas.
Morrisey, Charles Burr, Ed. Kaelble,
w. J. Ryder and wife and a num-
Der of ladies.
It was the intention at first to
have had the funeral at Hibbing,
