midi. They were looking over the
city with the prospect Of re-establish.
ing a recruiting station in Bemidji.
They left this noon for Duluth, and
will make a favorable report to
Lieutenent A. B. Watts, who, as
manager of the Duluth recruiting
station, has charge of army affairs
in this part of the state.
Sergeant Eilek was stationed in
this city for four years, and his
splendid work here as recruiting
officer was highly commended by
his superior officers. The station was
closed here some two years ago and
Sergeant Eilek went to Duluth. His
second enlistment expires in two
months; but he did not state if he
would enlist for his third term with
the army.

and construction of the seventeen
miles of new railroad which will be
built for the Backus. Brooks company
of International Falls, to be used in
hauling their logs and pulp wood
from the Black river country to
International Falls. This road will
connect with the M. & I. Railway
at Nakota Siding, seven miles south
of International Falls, and extend
due west to the Black river.
Mr.. Stoner states that much of
this road will be built through a
big muskeg and it will be necessary
to put in some 1000 feet of trestle
work across this stretch.
Mr.. Stoner is superintendent of
construction of the road and he
states that he will buy pile driver
and engine and take the same to
Nakota Siding to use in building the
road.

Cass Lake, Feb. 8.-(Special to
Pioneer. 1.-The ski tournament
held here yesterday afternoon, be-

and Cass Lake, was a very sue
cesful affair and brought out a
crowd of several hundred people.
:. Considering the size Of the slide,
some very good jumps we're made.
lake Holm of Cass Lake carried
off first honors in the standing
jump, his best jump being sixty
one feet. Mr.. Holm was seriously
injured while making second try.
In coming down the jump his skies
became crossed and he fell on his
face, the fall rendering HIM un-
concious and spraining his arm.
VIM. Whalen Of Grand Rapids and
Joseph Finnessy of Cass Lake were
tied for second place. Ed. Whalen

dates.
J.C. Parker, the other candidate
for this Office, has recently come
into the field for mayoralty honors
and is making a strong fight to land
the toga. Mr.. Parker is perhaps not
as we'll known by the average voter
as is Mr.. McCuaig. He is, however,
making a strong fight and his friends
declare that he will be elected.
Mr.. Parker is engaging himself in
the lumber business and is away
from the city a great deal, therefore
he is at a disadvantage in making a
run for this Office.
AS to who would make the better
mayor is a difficult question to
answer. To express the sentiment
of the merchants in this city, as we'll
as street talk and heresay, it seems
that the majority vote will be cast
for William McCuaig.
This is also said regarding the

AS the time draws nearer for the
holding of the development and
reapportionment meeting in this
city, February 1913, interest in the
matters to be discussed at the con-
vention is intensifying, and Chair
man Mackenzie is receiving many
letters of commendation, containing
suggestions as to timely topics that
should be taken up by the delegates.
c. r. Middleton of Baudette, one
of the staunchest and most loyal OF
Beltrami county's citizens, writes
Mr.. Mackenzie as follows:
II have your What Are You

Who is going to be the next

Who is going to be the next
mayor?
One week from tomorrow is
election day and the question of
city politics is freely discussed
by the citizens and merchants in
and about the city.
William McQuaig, a we'll known
merchant in this city, is first in
the field for mayoralty honors and
perhaps has the advantage.
Mr.. McQuaig is known as one
of Bemidji's foremost business
men and has conducted a success
full business in this city for the
past twelve years.
To figure out the "dope" from
the average citizens point of view,
for the next mayor, it looks like
McQuaig. To voice public senti-
ment and the expressions of the
merchants and citizens at large,
it is hard to see it any other way.
That is, perhaps, due to the fact
that Mr.. McQuaig mas made his
announcement early and that he
has been a candidate for this Of
fee before, and that he is perhaps

personal solicitation among his
friends, the answer might be differ
ent one.
There are two candidates out for
the Office of city clerk, the present
city clerk, Thomas Maloy, and c. J.
Pryor, who has long been connected
with the Pioneer Publishing CON-
pany. Both men are we'll known in
this city.
To predict an outcome in this
race is probably the hardest problem
that confronts the "doper." Mr..
Maloy, who has filled this position
for the past three years, is we'll
versed in the city's affairs and is the
old standby of the council There
is hardly a time when matters of
Importance come up, but what Mr..
Maloy is consulted. He has the
city's present affairs we'll In hand.
Mr.. Pryor is probably known by
more people and no doubt knows
more people than does his opponent.
He is also we'll posted on all city
affairs and can be relied upon as
an able clerk should he be elected.
1t is hard to learn from public
sentiment just which man has the
strongest hold in this race. We
would hardly dare express our
selves.
The election of either of these
men will give to the city a capable
officer and a man of much value
to the council. We must wait until
latter in the game, "or perhaps un-
til after election to be able to say
as to the outcome of this race.

If people in the southern and

there woulden't be farms enough to
supply the demand.
Nearly every day we hear of men,
men who know what good farm land
is, selling their farms in the southern
states at prices up to 5000 an acre
and buying land that will produce
even better crops at $25, and $50
per acre in this locality, quoting the
Duluth Tribune, which says:
AS much can be raised on Mime

acre as on Illinois property valued at
5000 per acre." said I. B. Gault of

of the state immigration commission

extensively. He has sold his farms
