Besides being an exemplary young

he will do some engineering in

Death Of Mrs. Day.

On Thursday last our community
was saddened by the announcement
Of theNdeath of Mrs. Elizabeth Day.
Mrs. Day has been ill for the great.
er part Of the year and only one of
habits and a strong con,
stitution at such an advanced age
could lave held up so remarkably
we'll. She spent her whole life where
she was born. If we were to write
only one sentence expressive of her
life it would be, ''She went about
doing good" She came from one of
the Oldest and most prominent~fami,
lies Of old Edgefeld district, the
Hatchers. Before the war she was
married to Julius Day and to this
union ten. children were born, of
whom six preceded her to the grave.
Those surviving are P. B., B. j.,
Mrs. w. NJ Vann and Miss Kate.
Her life was blessed with many
years andyshe used them for a bless
ing to those about her. Whenever
her name is mentioned it will re-
mind US of some good deed, some
act Of friendship, some kindly adj
vice, some Christian service. Her
life was as noble as it was gentle.
Her words of encouragement have
made many rejoice. Her advice has
given hope to the doubtful. Her
cheerfulness has gladdened the heart
burdenedw with sorrow. Her CHRIS
tian life has led others to seek their
peace which only heaven can give.
To her church she was dutiful; to
her Lord faithful unto death. In the
last hours she called each of her
grandchildren separately to her bed
side and gave them her farewell
words, words of hope, encourage
ment,and Christ-like advice and a
request that they should bear her
body to its last resting place. While
her life has had its share of sorrow
and tears we can but say, Surely
goodness and mercy hath followed
her the days Of hsr life and now she
will rest in the house of the Lord
forever" May the young look upon
her life to emulate those graces of
Christian character that makes life
worth the living,
The funeral services we're con-
Quoted at the church of Our Saviour,
of which she has been a member for
years, and the body laid to rest in
Ebenezer cemetery. The concourse
of sorrowing friends and the floral
offerings bespoke for the esteem in
in which she was held. All Trenton
is bowed with sorrow.

DELIGHTFUL School Picnic.

During the past session the school
at the mill village has been very
successfully taught by Miss Sophie
Abney, assisted by her sister, Miss
Marie Abney. Several weeks ago
Miss Abney began planning to give
the children a picnic at the close of
the school, having selected Centre
Spring rs the most suitable place
for the days outing. Everything
being in readiness the little folks
came together Saturday morning
and boardsd the buggies and wag-
ons that Mr.. Is. F. Zimmerman had
very kindly provided. They thor
oughly enjoyed the ride out to Cen
tire Spring, that ideal spot for pic
nicking.
The day was very pleasantly
spent in romping, playing and en-
gaging u ell sorts of games. At the
noon hour the Misses Abney spread
a great feast for the little folks and
every one of them enjoyed it to the
fullest extent. The last item of the
menu, but by no means the least,
was ten gallons of ice cream, with
cakes of all kinds in like proper
ton.
As the shadows heightened, the
little folks returned to their homes
in town, being profoundly grateful
to their very kind and faithful teach
ers for the days outing, the like of
which many of them had never ex-
perienced before.

Educator as Well as Gardener

"The Rev. r. G.. Shannonhouse,n
The Edgefeld Advertiser, says, is
the Burbank of Edgefeld. He is:
not only the earliest and best gar
dener, but his garden contains plants
and vegetables that hitherto have
never been grown in Edgefeld. 1t
is indeed wonderful how plants
respond to his magic touch"
An expert gardener is an educa-
tor in a community and, moreover,
he is nearly always a teacher of
other things. The man who pro-
vides an object lesson in gardening
contributes to the elevation Of his
neighbors. Wherever are well kept
and well tended gardens, the people
are progressive. Good gardens and.
civilization go hand in hand.-The

greatly pleased with their stay in

ally. The highest score among the
Edgefeld boys was made by Mr..
John Batten, who will probably go
to Charleston to participate in the
practice there at an early day.,

date for state senator from the
Sixty.second district turned around
in the general election and defeat
ed A. D. Stephens, the candidate
who defeated him in the primaries,
by majority of over 100.
Saugstad's victory IN Tuesdays
election is almost unprecedented.
He and Stephens ran for the
nomination on the republican
ticket, the county option question
being the issue Of the campaign.
A hard fight was put up but Step
hens finally carried the county bv
a majority of slightly over $50.
1t then appeared that A. D. Steph-
ems would be the state senator from
this district for an other term. Shortly
after the smoke of battle had cleared
away 1t was announced that Saug-
stad would adopt the "sticker"
method and run against Stephens in
the general election. Little was
thought of this move at first as
large number figured that he could
do practically nothing with the
stlckers. The Stephens men, how
ever, lined up Immediately and be-
gan a hard fight against Saugstad.
The optjonists marshalled all their
forces for Saugstad as soon as DOS.

winning campaign.
The detailed vote in Polk county
has not been obtained yet. Eber-
hart secured a majority of 485 in
Polk county, while Saugstad's
majority over Stephens is 10.
The county division proposition
was defeated by 218 votes. Both
Mcintosh and Fosston have started

Preparing to Assassinate A Moose.

How to con6ne the slaughter to
deer and moose without bagging a
bunch of men is a problem quite
as easy as solving the perpetual
motion. 1t has been suggested
that each hunter before he takes
aim at moose or deer set off a
skyrocket, then mount stump
and yell this three times at the
top of his voice:
Know all men by these remarks
that I, John Smith, of Bemidji, am
about to shoot the gizzard out of a
moose making faces at me from be-.
hind certain pine tree four rods to

Crookston Congressman in Bemidji Says
Former President no Longer
Political Power
GLEEFUL OVER RESULT IN STATE
Believe. Victory Here Was Due to
Good Men on Platform Backed
By People.

In my opinion we have seen the
last of Theodore Roosevelt as a
political power of any great import
ance in this country" said Congress-
uan Halvor Steenerson who is in
Bemidji today, in commenting on
the defeat of Stimson. the republi-
can candidate for governor of New
York.
The result in New York state, "
continued Mr.. Steenerson, indicates
that Mr.. Roosevelt has become
about the same nonentity in politics
as has Mr.. Bryn. The tremendous
popularity of Colonel Roosevelt
when he returned from the jungles
of Africa appears to have been on
the wane for several months. He
apparently staked his political
reputation on the outcome of New
York and fought as he has never
fought before and lost.
I do not believe a man who puts
up that kind of a fight can ever
again pose as a real leader or the de-
fender of the peoples rights, much
as that may disnearten his erthu-
siasts in the west. Of course this
indicates his removal from the list
of possible republican candidates for
president in 1912.
II do not say this IN a spirit of
criticism for / admire much that
Colonel Roosevelt has done. / have
been told that his greatest mistake
in the New York camgaign was his
violent condemnation of all persons
who favored in any way the old
guard and many good men objected
to being called dishonest and in-
decent merely because they shap-
pened to have friendship for the old
time leaders,"
Of the result in Minnesota Mr..
Steenerson sai6:
1t was splendid victory won by
men worthy of leadership standing
on a platform advocating all issues
which are to the best interests of
Minnesota. Of course the election
of Mr.. Hammond still gives our Con-
gressional delega ton a democratic
tinge but the victory in the first is
encouraging and the second district
will wheel into line sooner or later.
Governor Eberhart is to be con-
graduated on his great race"
Congressman Steenersen refused
to comment on the winning of the
lower house by the democrats.

Benidji Huntsmen's Rendezvous.

benldJl Huntsmens 5 kendeZv0us.
Beginning today, and continuing
until December /. it is legal to shoot
moose and deer in Minnesota, pro-
vided the above rules are obeyed.
During the past few DAYS many
huntsmen have arrived in Bemidji
from southern points and, together
with more than a dozen sportsmen
from this cityare today in the depths
of the forest to get first shots at the
big game.
Dan Rose of this city, one of the
best rife and shotgun experts in
northern Minnesota, and a recog-
nized authority on the haunts, of
big game, says: ,
The fires in northern Beltrami
county have caused the moose which
formerly Inhabited the country along
the Rainy river, north of the Rapid
river, to move toward the south
The Bemidji daily pioneer., 1910-11-10

and southeast, into Koochiching and
1tasca counties, and to the section
around the east end of upper Red
lake, and it is certain that there
will be good hunting in those vicini-
ties.
The best hunting grounds will be
along the Tamarac river, which flow
into the eastern end of upper Red
lake, along the Lost river and east
ward, and along the M. & I. railway
ranging from Kelliher north to
Northome and Margie and east
from those places. I know of many
bunches' of moose and numberless
deer in these sections. have watched
them and know their stamping
grounds Deer are especially plenti-
full.
How to Get the Big Ones.
Parties who desire going into the
wilderness for the big ones could
not do better than to get into touch
with E. A. Feldman or David Rose,
Jr., at Northome, or O. l.: Brown, at
Margie, who know every foot of land
In the three counties, and are especi-
ally we'll informed in the matter of
big game"
S. c. Bailey of this city, warden
for the State Game and Fish com.
mison. has done much the past sew
eral months for the protection of big
game, and has a number of convict
ions lately of 3 sooners who have
been hunting big game. He says:
The light fall of snow will prove
of considerable benefit to the hunters
in tending to form a carpet over the
leaves on the ground in the timber
and somewhat deaden the hunters
stalking, although there has not been
sufficient snow to make these condit-
ions ideal.
Where to Find Deer.
That there are deer and moose in
plentiful numbers I am certain, from
my personal observa tions. In addi-
ton to the most excellent hunting
grounds in the north and northeast
IN the Red Lake country, there is
excellent hunting neater home, rang
ing north from the upper shore of
Lake Bemidji to lower Red lake and
both eastward and westward. South
from Lake Irving, there is good
hunting toward the, vicinity of Rat
lake and other waters of Hubbard
county and ranging westward to the
1tasca State Park. And, by the way,
it IS tale often told of the hunters
who have pursued big game in this
vicinity, that when deer and moose
are chased from cover they
will invariably make for the state
park, seeming to be endowed with
the instinct that within the park
(where killing of game is prohibited
is their haven of safety"
