SCHROEDER ANNOUNCED
FOR FALL PRIMARIES
Is Candidate For denomination For
County Commissioner of First
District.

sioner from the first district, has
again announced himself for the
republican nomination a. the prim-
aries in September. Mr.. Schroeder
is thirty eight years of age and was
one of the first residents in the city
of Bemidji. He has lived here ff-
teen years and has been in the
mercantile business about that
length of time.
There is hardly a farmer that
comes to Bemidji who does not
know w. G.. Schroeder; neither is
there farmer who does not know
him as a straightforward business
man.
Mr. Schroeder built the first brick,
two story building in Bemidji, now
known as the Security State Bank
Building. He was promoter of
the water power now owned by the
Warfeld Electric company and was
its first president. The firm at that
time was known as the Beltrami
Electric Light a md Power company.
While he has been county com.
missioner, he has given his time and
attention to the matters of import
ance concerning the county and
should receive the support of the
voters in his district.
No opposition to Mr.. Schroeder
has as yet developed and many of
his friends believe he will have
the field entirely to himself.
He is one of the large tax payers
of the county, his tax being over
$3.50 yearly. During his term of
office he has gwen much time to
the building up of the surrounding
country and is strong advocate
of good roads. The district has
been we'll represented and will
doubtless profit by his continued
service.
The farming community in this
district is fast becoming one of the
leading farming communities of this
north country. There are many
farms here that would make south.
ern Minnesota farmers envious. The
country here is new and as the farms
are being brought into condition
they become modern farms right at
the start.
Mr.. Schroeder, in company with a
representative of this paper and a
representative of the Hakkerup
Studio, took a recent drive into the
country with view of securing
:, photographs of present crops. 4
great many interesting views were
taken of Mr.. Schroeder's farm. He
is making out of cut over lands a
farm that in five years from today
will be second to none in the state.
The crops on his farm today show
very little signs of the general
drought experienced throughout this
entire northwest. Sugar beets,
potatoes, corn, alfalfa, clover and
garden truck all appear in splendid
condition. This shows that where
the soil in this community is given
proper cultivation, dry wheather has
little effect on its production.
Every farm, besides having good
productive soil when properly cult
waited. has on it an ideal building
spot. Schroeder's farm is in this
respect not excepted. The house
stands in the center of a cluster of
trees, making it cool and coy for
living quarters. Several hundred
feet from the house is built one
of the most modern barns in the
state. A silo that holds 200 tons
of fodder built in a most modern
manner stands just at the end of
the barn. Views have been taken
of all the farm buildings, some oil
which will be reproduced in latte,
edition of the Pioneer. d..
