This well-known abstract and title
company has existed from the time Be-
midi was hamlet, and even before
that The original company was COM
posed of F. S. Arnold, Matt Phibbs,
Frank Snyder and L. H. Bailey, who con-
Quoted the business up to the time they
transferred their interests to those now
in control. The Beltrami Abstract COM
pany is incorporated for $4,000; it
owns considerable tracts of farm lands
in Beltrami county and the members of
the company are familiar with very foot
of ground in the county
Maintaining an office in the county
court house, this important concern is
in daily contact with all important docu-
ments filed in the office of the register
of deeds, and they are consequently in
position to examine titles and compile
extracts in not only the shortest possible
time, but with unfailing accuracy. Hav-
ing knowledge of the county records

necessarily means saving to those in
terested in the work desired.
Mr.. Huffman, before being selected as
the chief executiv eof the Beltrami Coun-
ty Abstract company, had been for ten
years previous, occupied as an abstractor
at Ladysmith, Wis. With his past ex-
perience, and with alacrity and ability
he has demonstrated since his connection
with the firm he represents at present,
he may be relied upon to dispose of all
business entrusted to him in the most
approved and unmistakable manner.
Mr.. Huffman is also to be appreciated
from the fact that he has had sufficient
confidence in Beltrami county lands to
the extent of Investing his money among
us, another fact which evinces his fore
sight as well as his knowledge of pro-
lific lands.
AS a citizen Mr.. Huffman is classed
among the most eminent and Industrious,
and The Pioneer, withou quibble or re-
servation, can freely laud both Mr.. Huff
man and the company he manages.
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1909-03-27

through deed entries and the like, the
Beltrami County Abstract company can in
deed claim precedence for expedition and
authenticity over all Others engaged in
a similar business. Their history as an
abstract and title company is untarnished
their long years of conscientious service,
and satisfying and reliable results have
invoked the supreme confidence of every
citizen in this section, and the fact that
they perform the bulk of business con-
nected with real estate transactions is
bona fide evidence of not only their un-
questioned integrity, but of the confidence
reposed in them by the public as whole.
c.. A. Huffman is the guiding mentor
of the Beltrami County Abstract COM
pany. Since his induction as manager
he has simplifed the general workings
of the Office, making it to secure access
to and solution of technical or doubt

has been systemized to the degree of per-
fection and great saving of time, which

NEW YORK, Oct. A.-The announce
ment that the Bank OF England would
increase its rate Of discount was fore
cast yesterday. The fact. however,
that the rate was increased a fun point.
instead Of one-half point, came as a
great surprise to the operators on the
Street, and Il is generally admitted
that the real reason is the desire Of the
British banking authorities to retain
gold In England There has been a
feeling for some time among the leading
financial interests that speculation was
running wild and that values were being
gnduIy inflated
The general public has not been in
tae market as strongly as before the
last financial panic, but speculation has
been. TO a great extent. professional in
character. Values. however, have in
creased TO a phenomenal extent until
they are today considered to be at top
notch figures. There is a strong bear
element forming, and ii has been plain
for the last ten days that the list Is to
be subjected to real pressure.
Leading dnanciers declare tight mon
ey vial prevail for the next two months.
They declare that business conditions
are at present very healthy, and that
they intend 70 keep them so. There is
absolutely no danger of a financial pam
&c, they declare. and the Industrial sit
uation Is getting brighter every day
Because OF this Il IS minated the fnan-
cial interests will insist on speculation
being kept within the limit and all
recklessness prohibited.
