Getting Desperate.

Some of the Office buildings in the
large cities are constructed apparently
with the idea that every possible
square foot OF space must be utilized
for renting purposes. The corridors
are narrow. the passageways to the
elevator shafts hard to find and the
stairways located in obscure corners.
There may be fire escapes, but they are
equally obscure, and a stranger would
not know where to look for them.

CAPTAIN BartIett's Three Cheers,

A series Of Revolutionary scenes
were given in London rheater some
months after the close Of that memo
rable war. On the one side was the
English army in full red coated uni
form. with every button in its exact
place. Opposite them was the Ameri-
can army, composed, as the theater bill
stated. of ARTISANS, cobblers and tink-
ers," arrayed in their working dress,
with buttons Of every size and hue.

Bartlett Of Plymouth. Mass, the cap

Of the county Offices perhaps
the Office that most vitality effects
the taxpayer is that of County
Auditor. 1t is in that office that the
taxes are spread, and the vas
amount of business that effe cts the
financies of the County, are con-
Quoted. In ditch matters the Audi
tor has the letting Of the contracts
for the completion of all Judicial
bitches, this within itself is a great
responsibility and calls for great
care, judgment and honesty.
OF the numer Gus candidates that
have filed for the office two have
been tried as to their ability and
two have held the office. We
have no Idoubt but that any one
OF the candidates might make good
and conscientious officers and yet it
does not seen that, with Beltrami
county struggling under the debt
of nearly. 1888, oool and with
taxes up to point where they are
almost oppressive, that the voters
can hardly afford to experiment.
The present Auditor has been
in the office less than a year and
yet he has made good. From al
reports the office is in first class
condition and all business is be-
ing conducted in a very satisfac-
tory manner.
The day has come when men
should be placed in office, not be-.
cause they are Good fellows" or
that they belong to some organiza-
ton or society, but te>au they have
an ability to conduct the office, to
which they are elected. in the best
interests of the county therefore
have no hesitancy IN urging the
voters of Beltrami county to cast
their votes at the primaries on
September 20 for R. C. Hayner,
our present and efficient Auditor.

HAS A CHINESE PUZZLE BEAT.

The residents of Beltrami county
are watching with interest the legis
lative fight in Polk County and
especially the contest between candi-
dates for the state senate. Like
Senator A. D. Stephens who has
accomplished so much for Polk
County and the entire northern
portion of thesstate, it is difficult to
figure out what possible excuse there
could be for a contest in connection
with the senatorship from Polk.
Senator Stephens is recognized
not only as one of the leaders in the
state senate, but as one who has
been the friend of the farmer
throughout his legislative career.
His judgement is sound. and he is
fair minded.
The School of Agriculture alone
is monument to his energy, and
his work in that connection has
earned for him the gratitude of this
part of the state. Why Polk county
should jeopardize the commanding
influence it now has IN the senate
is mystery to anoutsider.
Any movement to defeat him
doesn't seem likely to be fathered by
anyone having the best interests Of
Polk County at heart, and the
balance of the Northern Minnesota
Counties certainly want to SEE
Senator Stephens returned with q
rousing endorsement at the primary
election on Sept. 20.

he was in hearse on the way to the

THE BELTRAMl COUNTY FAIR.

1.-The fair that pays up"
This is the one thing which
stands out prominently in connect
ion with the Beltrami county fair.
Horsemen and exhibitors realize
this and for that reason the Bel
tram fair can obtain the choicest
entries. 1.-THE only trouble," says
Secretary w. R. Mackenzie, sis
to satisfy those who cannot be &C.
commodated owing to lack of
room"
Ours is the biggest county fair,
in the best county of Minnesota.
it has one of the best half mile
tracks in the state, good horse
barns, a splendid grand stand and
first class base ball diamond.
There will not be dull mo.
ment while the fair is in progress,
races and amusements afording
entertainment for everybody all of
the time.
A special effort is being made
this year to satisfy those who want
the fair to take on a more carnival
like appearance. In addition to
the free attractions the secretary
has already booked, letters are
coming in daily from show men
asking for reservations.
The premium lists have long
been in the hands of intending
exhibitors. Posters and placards
have been freely distributed and
the county, city and country is anx-
iously waiting the opening day.
1t is urged that anyone having
anything of value, be it laces, EN-.
broidery, pictures, drawn work OF
fancy sewing, enter it.
''1t is these little exhibits that
tend to make the fair a success,
and for that reason we want the
people to take an interest and en-
ter what they have" said Mr..
Mackenzie.
All attendance records probably
will be smashed, and this must
take place to assure against a
deficit.
Premium lists can be had by
writing the Secretary, or at the
First and Northern National banks
or the Pioneer office.

dove of peace hasn't found any
place to perch in the Conservation
Congress headquarters. The reason
for this can readily be seen by
anyone who takes the trouble to
glance over the official program OF
speakers which contains the name
of men of such widely diversant
views that it is morsel for national
gossip. For instance, it is not
likely that Mr.. Plnchot clapped his
