The advocates of the saloon in
terests may be interested in the
following quotation from Colonel
Ingersoll, bearing on the temper
ance question, says the Salt Lake
Deseret News. 1t was quoted April
20, 1908, in the columns of paper
that now fights against the closing
of saloons. Read and reflect,
II am aware that there is a pre-
judice against any man who manu-
features alcohol. l believe that
from the time it issues from the
coiled and poisonous worms in the
distillery until it empties into the
jaws of death, dishonor and crime
demoralizes everybody that touches
it from its source TO where it ends.
| do not believe anybody can con-
template the object without being
prejudiced against the liquor crime.
"All we have to do, gentlemen,
is to think of the wrecks on either
bank of the stream of death, of the
suicides, of the insanity, of the
ignorance, of the restitution, of the
little children tugging at the faded
and withered breast of weeping and
desparing mothers, of wives asking
for bread, of the men of genius it
has wrecked, the men struggling with
imaginary serpents, produced by
this devilish thing; and when you
think of the iails, of the a1mshouse,
of the asylums, Of the prisons, of
the scaffolds upon either bank, do
not wonder that every thoughtful
man is prejudiced against this
damned stuff called alcohol In
temperance cuts down youth in
its vigor, manhood in its strengths
old age in its weakness.

SHETLAND PONIES.
Active as Terriers, Sure Footed as
Mules, Patient as Donkeys.

Active as Terriers, Sure Footed as
Mules, Patient as Donkeys.
Shetlands are ''foaled in the fields,
live in the fields and die in the fields"
They have a rooted dislike for indoor
life and thrive best when allowed to
feed naturally on green grass, with
perhaps hay in winter. Until two
years old nature provides a soft, WOOL
like covering. Afterward the mature
coat of hair appears, to be shed
each spring, when the ponies appear
sleek and handsome. Full grown,
they are immensely strong, with wide
quarters, powerful legs and a great
width and depth over the heart and
lungs. And, as Bengie wrote In 1870
In his Tour In Shetland" THE
Shetland pony is the most lovable of
animals In the wide creation. They
are sprightly and active as terriers,
sure footed as mules and patient as
donkeys. The horse is accredited as
the noblest of the lower animals, and
the Shetland pony stands at the head
Of this noble race as the most intelli-
gent and faithful of them ALL"
The great value of the Shetland to
the coal miners lies in its ability to
work in the low galleries in thin
scanned pits, where other ponies could
not travel. Their strength does not
correspond with their diminutive pro-
portions, and they will travel thirty
miles a day in the seams, drawing
from twelve to fourteen ! hundred
weight. Underground their lot is
hard, but use becomes second nature,
and they are treated, If roughly, not
unkindly.-St. James Gazette.

Looking upon advertising as an
expense, whether necessary or not,
is following the wrong principle.
Advertising is an investment, and
one of the most essential of all of

but those days have gone by

BELTRAMI COUNTY OFFICERS
JOHN WILMANN.

Mr. Wilmann as county auditor Of
Beltrami county. has proved his business
ability by the fact that he has been
elected for three successive terms, hence
we need add nothing on this score. Mr..
Wimanns success both in public and
financial life. fully illustrates the profit
able openings which present themselves
for those Of small means who are wise
enough and sufficiently industrious to
avail tn themselves of the cOuntyS richness
nasmuch as he has earned competence
and plenteous public favors as we'll, since
his settlement here. Coming to BemldJl
in the year 1900, Mr.. Wilmann, who is an
ordained minister of the Norwegian Luth-
eran church. accepted the passionate Of
the Norwegian Lutheran church of this
city, serving as such for three years,
when he resigned to take up home
stead the which he now owns and one
which conclusively proves what one can
achieve when they set out to perform
things.
Mr.. Wilmann is native Of Norway
He came to America in 1891. He has
lived in various cities, but has come to
the conclusion that Bemidji and Beltrami
county are more prosperous than any
section of the country he has ever visited.
Previous to his removal here Mr.. Will
mann lived in Minneapolis, and the metro
politan training he received there has
served him in good stead in his official
duties He has served his constituency
in an admirable and capable way, as
heavy taxpayer he is a staunch advocate
of all propositions which have for their
aim the furthering of Bemidji's interests,
his purse strings are always long when
material aid is required to "boost'' his
home city and county, and The Pioneer
willingly endorses Mr.. Wilmann as an
office holder, a citizen and a patriot
worthy of the name.

FRED w. RHODA.

Born on farm in Todd county, MIMI.
July 10, 1869, Mr.. Rhoda was a. farm
boy until he attained the age of fourteen.
Armed with but a common school educa-
ton he became an assistant in the office
Of his father, who was for fifteen years
auditor of Todd county. Materializing
into an expert mathematician and &C
countant, Mr.. Rhoda attracted the at
tention of the officers of the Bank of
Staples, an institution in which he was
retained for two years. Resigning his
position there, he accepted a desk with
Davis and Tabor, bankers at Park Rapids,
and in 1897 was sent to this city to
superintend the first bank established in
Bemidji, and known under the title Of
"The Bank Of Bemidji." Mr.. Rhoda has
always been in the van of public move
ments, he has always contributed his
share to every move which had for it's
aim the furtherance of Bemidji and Bel
trami county, and he has so comported
himself that he is now one Of the rec
ogniZed influential factors of this section,
not only as an authority upon expert
accounting, but as man of energy who
performs what he sets out to do.
Mr. Rhoda has been clerk of the
district court for the past five years. His
record during the interim has greatly
Injured to his personal worth and value,
and The Pioneer need not further expa-
tate upon either his merits or standing.

A. B. HAZEN.

Sheriff Hazen has been resident of Bel
trami county for upwards of twelve years,
and of course must be classed in the cate
cory of our pioneers. He was here when
Bemidji was trading post, and although he
suffered the rigors incident to frontier life,
he has no regrets to express, as the terri
tory hereabouts has been developed until it
is now one of the garden spots of the west.
Mr.. Hazen came here from Otter Tail
county, Minnesota, where he had resided
for thirty-five years. Four years after he
located here he was selected as one of the
city alderman, an office from which, after
four years. service, he acquitted himself
creditaby, both to himself and his constit-
uency.
Afterward he was appointed street and
water commissioner another public posi-
tion he held for four terms, and one which
still marks the perfection of the improve
ments he installed during his incumbency.
Mr.. Hazen has roughed It throughout the
entire west, during the early '7O's. He has
undergone experiences which will never
again be witnessed in the land of the Set.
ting Sun. He has experienced hardships
and danger, has superintendent the conduct
ing of wagon trains across wild and hostile
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-03-27

sections of the west, and he is therefore
amply able to fill the sheriff's office with
that sturdiness and fearlessness which has
characterized his entire life
Mr.. Hazen is extremely popular in this
county. He was elected by a fattering
plurality in the general election, and won
out in four cornered fight at the primaries,
and his high standing is further attested by
the general appreciation with which his
election met.
Mr.. Hazen is a taxpayer, a hustling citf-
zen, useful one and a fearless one The
Pioneer predicts for him gratifying career
and the fitting accomplishment of every
duty assigned to him.
The following excerpt, clipped from one
of our neighboring contemporaries, fully
elucidates the proves and experiences
of Mr.. Hazen as a patriot and citizen,
and is well worth reading:
"A. B. Hazen, elected sheriff of Bel
trami county at the election Tuesday, Is
a native of Wisconsin, being born in
Crawford county, April 4, 1852, and has
been a resident of Beltrami county since
1898, and was during the early days
engaged in the hotel business. Succeeding
years he was logger, and during the

Mr.. Wells didn't intend to catch q
morning train and hadn't given any
instructions that he should be called
at the unearthly hour of five o'clock.
SO he paid no attention to the old
mans early morning greeting and was
asleep again almost Immediately.

awakened by the pounding on his door
and heard the voice of the old man
