on homestead in the Battle River coun-
try, west of the village of Kelliher, where
he stuck to his claim and got one of
the best farms in that famous section.
The trials Of the border settlers were
born in patience by Mr.. Johnson, who
comes from the "good old stock that
knows not defeat or setback, and who
always perform what they undertake.
Mr.. Johnson was appointed deputy
sheriff by Sheriff Thomas Bailey, the
predecessor of Sheriff A. B. Hazen, the
present incumbent of the sheriffs Office.
From the start of his service, Andrew
Johnson made good as an official who
was fearless and never shirked any duty
imposed upon him, no matter how ar
duous. His worth was recognized and
appreciated by Sheriff Hazen, and Mr..
Johnson has been retained as deputy and
night watch at the jail.
One of the irksome duties which Mr.
Johnson encountered while he was serv-
ing with ex-Sheriff Bailey was as death
watch for two murderers who were con-
victed and condemned to hang for mur-
ders committed in Beltrami county, Mr.
Johnson's cheerful attitude and kind
words did much to lift the dropping de-
meanor of the condemned men until their
sentences were commuted to life i'm
prisonment by the state pardon board.

pioneer of the city who has watched
Bemidji grow from the cradle epoch to
a city of gigantic possibilities, is Christ
Olson, the present deputy sheriff of Bel
trami county, who is doing such excellent
work under Sheriff A. B. Hazen.
Mr.. Olson came to Bemidji eleven years
ago from Little Falls, where he had been
engaged in business for some time. Mr..
Olson, being of a progressive disposition,
at once took his place with the early
residents of the place and entered active
ly into business for himself, being identi-
fed from the start with every movement
calculated to advance the welfare of the
city, and each succeeding year has added
to Mr.. Olson's intense loyalty to Bemidji
until "Chris'' is regarded as one of Be-
midji's staunchest citizens.
Mr.. Olson has invested quite literally
in real estate and other property in Be-
midi. thus attesting his sincereity in de-
caring that this city is destined to rank
first among the cities of this great north
ern domain.
Mr.. Olson was appointed deputy sheriff
by Sheriff A. B. Hazen, when the latter
assumed the duties of sheriff, at the be-
ginning Of the present year Mr.. Olson
has taken hold of his official duties with
the same energy that he has always ex-
hibited in private life, with the result
that he is making very valuable assist
ant to Sheriff Hazen.

past few seasons he has devoted his time
to farming, having one Of the best de-
veloped farms in this section on the
banks of Lake Plantagnet
Mr.. Hazen's life has been one of siren
uous endeavor. During the war of '61-65
he was left as the head of the family
with his mother, and during that period
in defense of the Union he was the
mainstay of the home,
Later years saw him in various capa-
cities in the west. In 1875 he was
steward on the old river steamer Selkirk
which piled between Moorhead and Win
npeg, before the advent Of the Northern
Pacific or Great Northern railroads across
the Red River.
I'm 1877 he went to the Black Hills
and was for several years engaged as
freighter and stage driver for the old
Northwestern Transportation company be-
tween Bismarck and Deadwood. During
this time his mettle was tested by fire.

Prairie, Otter Tail county. During his
long residence here he has been actively
engaged in politics and taken a keen in
terest in every election. He is a staunch,
lifelong Republican and has besides al
ways supporting the raght ticket, been
a liberal contributor to the Republican
campaign fund.

1902, he located in Beltrami county. Being

chased such realty, including both farm and
city property, which his means permitted
and his Judgment has resulted in the extent
OF his present holdings, which are consider
able. In the last election he was elected
for the third time to the office he now holds
by a plurality of 1900, and won out in a
most stubbornly contested primary cam
paign for denomination. Mr.. Harris since
his lncumbency has proved an exemplary
official, and during his tenure of office has
put into vogue a system of entry whereby
all danger of errors in titles and other doc
uments is wholly eliminated. He is a loyal
republican, he has represented his party as
delegate to city, county and state conven
tions, and has proved himself forceful

attention from him. He is hail well-met

The exact figures will be definitely known on the 10th. when the Copper Producers asSo- citation makes it's monthly report
 Sales of all grades of copper dur .ing May. approximated 2o0.eo0, ,003 pounds. all of which calls for de- livery on or before July 3l, as none of the agencies has as yet sold a pound of August metal.

The copper production last month at the Douglas smelters considers bly exceeded that of April month. The Copper Queen produced slight ly less than 9.000,000 pounds while the Calumet & ttriozna Drotiucea slightly more than 4.500.009 pounds. The increased production at the Douglas smelters for May over that of April was very near s,000,0O0 pounds.
 The figures showing the status or the stock copper on hand in this country on the first day of June has not been made public. This report Is due on the 10th of the month from the Copper Producing association. While the report last month was highly gratifying to the copper pro ducSrs, showing very slight in crease during April in the stock or copper in the hands of the produc- CTS it is believed that the report for May will be Still more gratifying. There has been much purchasing during the month for home consump- tion and 1t is believed that when the sales and deliveries are totalled up it will be found that there has been material reduction of the copper stock from 1S5,00o.0oo pounds re- ported on hand May lst.
 Locally there is little change in conditions in this section. While the copper output shows an increase there has been no noticeable increase in the ore production and the forces employed by the producing compan- ies remain practically what they have been since the first of the year.
 At the Queen shelter eight blast furnaces are in commission nov. being one more than the average since the first of the year. The building of the plant of McDougal roasters which is to be installed at the Queen has not been started yet but considerable material has been received and the roasters arrived sev eral days ago. This building vii be fifty feet square and will be built of steel. the material being furnish ed by the Wisconsin Bridge and Steel company.
 four furnaces are in blast. having 8 total capacity of 1900 tons daily.
