or their attractive appearance, will
bring. as rule, an appreciably high
er price than another lot done in
slovenly manner; this may frequently
be seen In the case OF clipped hoggs.
There is also no loss of wool in the
former case; in the latter, too much
is frequently left on the ridges, and
this, OF course, reduces the weight of
fleece.
The use OF clipping machines in
stead of hand-shea-s has made, as
yet, little headway in the north: but
more attention is being given to the
idea year by year. On some of the
larger farms, one or perhaps two
hand-drlven machines are to be found:
none is power driven. If machines
come into general use IL will be be-
cause of the difficulty of finding casual
clippers rather than for reasons of
economy. The farmers do not antici-
pate any great saving of expense by
the use of machines; they say that
one man with a machine driven by a
lad or woman worker will not get
through more than the number which
two good men could clip-that is to
say, about sixty per day. When the
woman's wage is added to the cost
of cleaning, oiling. repairing and de.
probation of the machine and is set
against the out-of.pocket expenses in
Cured under existing circumstances
by big farmer, there can be little
saving by the new method For II is
to be remembered, as stated previous,
ly, that most of the clipping is al
ready done by permanent servants
whose wages have to be paid anyhow

the accounts and vouchers of the

written certificate of the condition
of the treasury, showing the amount,
kind and character of the funds
therein, and all other matters in
connection Herewith, and file the
same with the auditor. COS c. 3oO).'s
The Pioneer did publish the state
ment three times as required by law
and to make good full measure we
published the statement in the Daily
free of cost.
We will go a little deeper into
this matter and state to the tax
payers of the county that in accept
ing the bid of the Pioneer to print
the financial statement the commits
sioners actually saved the county
the sum of $500. This is a mat
ter of record which we will explain.
When the county board accepted
bids from the newspapers of the
county to print the financial state
ment for 1909 The Pioneer was the
lowest responsible bidder. and the
county commissioners acted wisely
in awarding this paper the print
ing, as subsequent events proved.
There were only two other bids
submitted that were lower than the
Pioneers. Those were made by E.
]. Taylor, representing the Black
duck Enterprise, and Chris Christen-
son, representing the Beltrami
County News. The papers con-
Quoted by Messrs. Taylor and
Christensen are now defunct.
The Bemidji Sentinel, which now
attempts, in an underhanded man
ner, to claim Irregularities in this
printing, submitted a bid of 20 cents
per folio for the first insertion and
10 cents per folio for each subse-
quent insertion, while the bid of the
Pioneer was rs cents per folio for
the first insertion and 10 cents per
folio for each subsequent insertion.
The Sentinels bid was three
cents higher than the Pioneers,
and if it is by such methods our
county has gone behind" Quoting
from the article given above, taken
from the Sentinel) we fail to see
wherein the Pioneer had any hand,
but the county would have gone
behind" $3.50 had the Sentinel bid
been accepted.
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1909-06-22

is by such methods our county
has gone behind" H..
A more deliberate and malicious
attempt to mislead the public could
hardly be conceived than is con-
tanned in the above article. The
writer of the article states, boldly,
AS a matter of fact the report
should be published once"
For the information of the
ignoramus who is now conducting
the Sentinel we quote him the
statutes of the state of Minnesota,
which specifically require that the
financial statement shall be pub
lished for three successive weeks,
the section of the statute being as
follows:
"433. Annual State M n t.
Annually on the first Tuesday in

In the last issue of The Sentinel,
Andrew Rood, or whoever dictates
the policy of that publication, under
a big scare" headline, calls atten-
ton to the printing of the financial
statement of Reltrami county for
1909, and asserts boldly that the
county officials wasted S1O6 when
it was not necessary" in the publish
ing of the statement at the price
accepted under bids submitted to
the board last January.
The article published in the Sen
tinel, is as follows:
In looking over the bills audited
by the board of commissioners at
the last meeting, a reporter found
that the financial statement OF Bel
trami county cost the county S23o.85
for $50 folios, and warrant for the
amount has been issued.
The contract as entered into last
January for the publishing of the
official printing of the county should
be rs cents for each folio.
The bill is so rendered, but it
further charges for publications of
the same report in other issues, at
10 cents per tolio each. The dates
charged for are April 8, IS, and %.
In looking this matter up it is
found that the report also appeared
in the daily of April %, but that
is not charged.
"As a matter of fact the report
should be published once, and this
would make the cost to the county
$133.25. But attached to that is
two more publications that are OF
no earthly use to the taxpayers,
for three publications will 60 nc
further than one. Why then waste
$1O6 when it is not necessary. II
