lnquiring Concerning Former Res
Ident of Bemidji.

A. R. Erickson, postmaster of
Bemidji, has received the following
communication from Fort Shafter,
Hawaii, relative to one Ernest
Cristeon or Christeon, who died in
the Military Hospital at Honolulu
on November %, 1908.
The letter is self.explanatory and
any information concerning this
man should be given to the local
postoffice authorities.
Company G, Twentieth Infantry,
Fort Shafter, Hawaii,
May S. 1909.
To the Postmaster. Bemidji, Mime
sofa.
Sir:-I have the honor to request
any information you may have or
may be able to obtain, concerning
one Ernest Cristeon or Christeon,
who is reported to have been pro-
prietor of the Hub saloon in Be-
midi, from 1896 to 1898. This man
was identified by one Cortell, who
was with him in Bemidji, and who
is now here in Honolulu, as being
the same as Earl R. Croxton, who
enlisted in the U. S. army at Fort
Mcdowell, Angel Island, Cal, on
March 37th, 1908, and who died in
the Military Hospital at Honolulu,
on November 23rd, 1908, from in.
luries received by being run down
by an automobile.
am anxious to learn of the
whereabouts of some of his relatives
that I may inform them of his death.
DO you know where he came
from or where any of his relatives
may be found?"
Very respectfully,
&C. w. Exton,
Captain 10th Infantry,
Commanding Co. G. /"

affairs in a strictly impartial man
ner, and at the suggestion of Mr..
Simpson the board adopted resolu-
ton requesting the attorney general
to assign an assistant from his office
to act as assistant county attorney
in the transaction of the affairs of
Beltrami county. In pursuance
thereof, Mr.. Smith was later so
designated and hereafter will be
present at the meetings of the board
to advise it and the county attorney
in the transactions of the county
affairs.
In the matter of the suit brought
by Beltrami county against Clear
water county the attorney generals
office it seems is in a peculiar posi-
ton, in that it represents Clearwater
as we'll as Beltrami and therefore it
can take neither side of the contro-
versy.
Finally in the matter of taxes, Mr..
Simpson gave explicit Instructions to
the effect that everybody Corpora
ton or individually should be made
to pay its and their just taxes. He
said the levying Of taxes should be
just and that collecting should be
insisted upon so that the county will
get all revenue legally coming to it.
The board adopted a resolution re.
/ quiring persons having claims
against the county to file the same
with the county attorney ten days
before a meeting of the board, in
/ order that the claims might be
passed upon.

board had employed at previous

The summer meeting and annual
outing of the members of the Great
Northern Editorial asso citation will
be held at Bemidji Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sun
day, July 14-15-16-17-1S, these dates
having been selected by c. ]. Pryor,
business manager of the Bemidji
Daily Pioneer and secretary of Be-
midi Commercial Club, to whom the
members of the association left the
selecting of the dates at the meeting
of the association which was held in
Wadena last winter, when, at the
invitation of Mr.. Pryor, representing
the Bemidji Commercial club and
the residents of this city generally,
extended an invitation to h e
scribes" to take their outing in Be-
midi this summer.
While the arrangements for the
entertainment of the visiting editors,
their wives and children(or their
sweethearts, as the case may be- is
as yet but fairly being started under
way, it is certain that the citizens of
Bemidji will do all in their power to
give the editors everything possible
fos their comfort and enjoyment, and
especial pains will be taken to have
famished fish at hand, insuring many
bites" and good catches, with
launch rides, bathing and all the
other accessories that tend to drive
away thoughts of the man with the
bill'' at the end of the month and the
help yelling for more copy"
The members of the Bemidji Com
mercial Club, Mayor Pogue and all
citizens will vie in attendance on the
visitors, who have been invited to
come early, stay up as late as they
