ity, Captain Harries said:
Il am greatly surprised at what
I have seen hereabouts. This is
my first trip to northern Minnesota,
and it has been a revelation to me.
Down at St. Paul, there are few of us
who have not been up here who can
realize the wonderful possibilities of
northern Minnesota. This is certainly
the future garden spot" of Mime
sofa; and you have lakes and streams
in abundance, with beautiful scenery
all of which makes Beltrami county
a very desirable place in which to
live"

Dear Sir:-Your congratulations

Thanks.
Primaries are over; the results

disbelieve in.

cation of taxes on all property.
cit we can pull together for
those and other measures to settle
up our vacant lands, the benefits
will be shared in by most of US
no matter of what religious or pol
it1cal creed we are.
"My plan is to give to the Bel
traml County people copy of the
1908 real estate land asses sments
by torties so they can see Unequal
tiles OF assessments, and also the
large area not on taxlists, and take
steps to get such lands on tax lists.
On road question I contend road
and drainage work cannot be seper-
ated except in jack pine districts.
And that road and drains should
under twenty year drainage land
be build on every section line in
northern part our county, that
way taxation for roads will be equal
against every quarter, see? In
place of being taxed for range line
roads several miles away. ~..-.
With best of wishes for success
of Beltrami county and our district
I am respectfully yours,
j. ]. Opsahl."
The above is letter which was
received at the Pioneer office yester-
day from J. J. Opsahl, the successful
candidate for the republican nomin-
alton for representative from this
(the 61st) district.
The Pioneer is pleased to note
that Mr.. Opsahl has buried the
hatchet," as it were, and is willing
to admit that there are too many
things of vital interest to Beltrami
county and northern Minnesota
requiring his attention this winter to
permit of his holding a grudge which
cannot but be distasteful to both
sides.
AS to Mr.. Opsahl not approving
some Of the methods of his oppo-
nents we certainly heartily "disbe-
lieve" in some of the methods
used by some of his friends on the
day of election, but we will let the
matter drop right where 1t is, and
if "Old Allen" is DESTROYS OF con-
tlnuing the fight on his own hook
he will have the field all to him.
self. 1t is his proper sphere.
Mr.. Opsahls faith in the future
of Bemidji and the north country
has always been shared in by every
body who IS at all interested in the
welfare of this north country; and
in developing this country the
Pioneer, under its presentmanage-
ment, has always had it's shoulder
to the wheel helping to bear the
burden.
AS to the factions being united,
there should be no factions after
an election, but united people to
get what we want up here.
We certainly want immigration
of settlers, we need drainage: and
of course we all want a sixth
normal school established in Be-
midi.
AS to tax matters, the Pioneer will
have considerable to say at length
on this subject in the near future.
At present we do not care to dis
cuss it.
Mr.. Opsahl and his friends prom
,ised much before election. and we
sincerely hope that Mr.. Opsahl will
at once commence a vigorous cam
piagn in becoming acquainted with
the other members of the legislature,
in both the house and senate, in
order that he may be more useful to
the district.

SECRET GEM-cRYPT Is LOOTED.
Thieves Get $780, 900 in Jewels from
Commodore Bourne's Mansion.

From a treasure-room in the country
mansion of Commodore Frederick g..
Bourne at Oakda,e, l.. L., the location
of which has been family secret ever
since the mansion was erected, jewels
valued at more than $4,000 have been
stolen. The jewels were those worn by
Commodore Bourne's three daughters at
the horse show, the opera and other func-
tons famous for the display of gems.
Although the robbery took place nearly
two months ago, it was not until the other
day that the facts became known. Every
effort has been made to recover the dia-
monds through the agency of private de-
tectives without appealing to the police.
Commodore Bourne and his family left
Indian Neck Hall, as the mansion is call
ed, two months ago for Dark Island, on
the st. Lawrence river, while alterations
were being made. Following the depart
IRE of the family 100 men were engaged
on the repairs. A member of the family
discovered the robbery and reported to

The indications of recovery in business
activity appear TO be well sustained. Fur
Their decline is seen in the comparative
the banks, and there is increasing demand
for industrial outputs snd heavier opera
tons in general merchandise.
Dealings in leading retail lines run close
to the aggregate at this time last year
the buying being augmented by many Eis-
ltors who spend freely, and the early de-
mand for fall apparel and household needs
expands to seasonable proportions.
There is a general expression of conf
dence in the outlook for extending con-
sumption. 1t is also made clear that
stocks throughout the interior are at an
unusually low average and that liberal
replenishment is likely, although that pro-
cess may be conducted gradually. Prices
generally stand upon an attractive basis
in staples and some heavy buyers secure
their needs in lines which continue under
curtailed production.
Encouraging agricultural conditions and
high values of the crops, rising pay rolls
at manufacturing centers and the i'm

the healthier tone which now character
