WANT SUGGESTIONS OF
NAMES FOR CUSTODIAN.
Prot. Green Acquiesces in Proposition
for New ltasca Commissioner to
Succeed Arnold.

AS result of the protests which
have been made against the action
of the State Forestry Board in ap-
pointing Martin Hinzelman as Gus
todian of the Itasca State Park to
succeed R. C.. Arnold, resigned, it
is probable that the board will
accept recommendations for the
position from the commercial clubs
of Bemidji, Bagley, Park Rapids
and Akeley, so that the residents of
this section of the state may have a
say" as to who shall be in charge
of this beautiful state property which
is so close to our doors.
Considerable controversy, and
some bad feeling, has been en-
gendered by the discussion of the
manner in which the affairs at the
park have been conducted, and no
doubt there has been some unjust
criticism heaped upon those who
claim they have been putting forth
every effort to maintain the park in
a proper manner and at the same
time to conduct forestry summer
school that would be of great
benefit, according to those in charge
of the park.
The appointment of Hinzelman
to succeed Arnold appears to meet
with much adverse comment, and
some talk concerning Mr.. Hinzelman
has been rather pointed; but when
the writer took the matter up with
Professor Samuel B. Green, of the
department of agriculture (division
of forestry of the State University,
last week, that gentleman offered
to abide by the decision of the
people, if some other competent
man could be selected by the rep

PAYS FINE TRIBUTE TO
Ex-JUDGE c. ". STANTON
AkeIey Tribune Says the Judge Has
Made an Enviable Record on
the Bench.

The Akeley Tribune pays the
following deserved compliment to
c. W. Stanton, ex-judge of the Fiji
teenth Judicial district.
Hon. C. w. Stanton, judge of
the Fifteenth judicial district, re-
tired from Office last Tuesday, and
his successor, Hon. B. F. Wright of
Park Rapids, was duly installed
into that exalted office. Judge
Stanton has made an enviable
record as judge of the district court
for efficiency, having proven him
self man of exceptional judicial
ability.
He is immensely popular through
out the district. If the judiciary
was withdrawn from politics, we
know of no more acceptable man or
man who possesses more essential
qualifications than Judge Stanton.
He is man of unusual mental
prowess. His office has been kept
up in excellent shape, the judge
always having all his business at his
fingers tips, so to speak.
He was always decidedly fair
and impartial in his decisions and
his integrity has never been ques.
toned. The Tribune understands
that Mr.. Stanton will take up active
practice in the city of Bemidji,
which news will be we'll received by
people in this section of the state
who need the services of frst-class
attorney, who may be strictly relied
upon by his clients-not inferring in
the least that many such do not
live and practice in this district"

Professor Green claims there has
been much adverse comment that is
absolutely without foundation lin

some of the assertions made against
himself and the members Of the for
estry board as being absolutely false.
Be that as it may, the people Of this

that the commercial bodies of the
places mentioned will agree on
name to be considered by the fores-

There are lot of things which
harrow minded pin-heads like Editor
Huss cannot comprehend, much less
practice. When Mr.. Opsahl won
out in the primaries, the Pioneer,
with true manliness, congratulated
the gentleman, and we unhesitatingly
stated that we would be with him in
all matters which portended the
general welfare of Bemidji and Bel
trami county; and for this reason
alone we shall not place one impedi-
ment in Representative Opsahl's
path toward making good"
The writer hereof has been honor

first week in St. Paul-in fact, we
have been constantly in his company

attitude on many measures that will
come up for consideration; and we
have co-operated with him in con-
siderable measure. Like ourselves,

If the. mental calibre of our

Rescuers Driven Back by Fire
Again Breaking Out.
EFFORTS WILL BE MADE
TO SMOTHER THE FLAMES
Experts Seal Main Shaft of Mine and
Efforts to Seek Entombed Victims
Are HaIted-offlcials Will Pump
Gas and Steam Into Mine.

Cherry, H., Nov 16.--Fire broke
out afresh in the st. Paul mine, and
fire engines and fire fighting appara-
tns were rushed here from La Sale
on a special train.
BY order of the mining experts and
inspectors after a conference with
George S. Rice. chief of the field work
of the United States Geological Sur
vey the main shaft was sealed again
yesterday in the hope OF smothering
the flames sufficiently to permit OF
fighting the fire when the special en-
gines arrived.
The fire broke out with great in
tensity after the rescue workers and
inspectors had thrice descended into
the shaft to the bottom. On the first
two trips no sign of fire was detected
near the shaft, and there was little
smoke. Then the fans were started
in the hope of clearing the galleries
that search for the bodies might pro-
gress. Suddenly the flames were re-
kindled flames pouring out of the
stables where the fire started.
Volumes of Smoke Sent Out.
inspectors James Taylor and r. Y.
Williams were being lowered into the
shaft when they discovered the flames
about 100 feet from the bottom of the
shaft and toward the exit shaft. They
signaled for an ascent and ordered
the fire partment. The water pow
er proved insufficient and within "a
short time the shaft was sending
forth volumes Of smoke, and the heat
became excessive.
All hope OF further exploration in
the mine was abandoned, and experts
say it will be several days before any
further effort to reach the entombed
miners can be made. The number
OF victims is now placed at $40.
Shortly after the mine was resealed
the officials announced that carbonic
aicd gas and steam wocld be forced
through pipes to the bottom of the
nine. President Mcdonald, of the
United Mine Workers, said if this
was done every man in the mine
would be dead within few minutes.

AIR LINE ESTABLISHED.
Man In ST. Louis Plans to Give All
Who Desire Trip at Six Cents

The first taxi-balloon service in the
world will be established in st. Louis
today, and the local public may ride
500 miles with skilled pilot for a
trifie of cents a mile If the Inter.
state Commerce Commission does not
claim jurisdiction and impose 2-cent
rate.
Morris A. Hermann, aero club or.
ganizer, balloon builder and amateur
aviator, has conceived the taxi-bal.
air travelling and to give all a chance
to soar aloft.
He has prepared a liberal schedule
of rates, based upon the cost of gas,
to the general public with allow
ance for pilot services and slight
surplus for wear and tear to the bal.
loon. He disclaims any desire to es.
tabl.sh remunerativc business.
Mr.. Hermann predicts that St
Louis women will be the best patrons
of the taxi-balloon. The advantages
of sailing in the upper air strata as
beauty treatment will be a strong
lure to the lair sex, he thinks. Then
too, he says women have less hesi-
tation about leaving The earth the
first time than heir supposedly bold
er brothers.
The action of rarefeld air on the

disappear, respiration is effected
through the skin pores, and fresh
oxygen in the lungs brings a healthy
glow 10 the cheek and lustre TO the

Owing TO the failure of the car

Used, the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
is still handicapped by car short
age and its coal shipmen ts are con-
siderably delayed. Many of the or
ders for the several thousand extra
cars which the Baltimore and Ohio
will need to handle the enormous in
crease in freight traffic were placed
in the early fall, and the car com
panies informed the road that part OF

November 1. But these shipments
have failed TO materialize, and the
road is still unable TO handle the coal
traffic at this time.

that few OF the new cars will be
ready for delivery before the traffic
