Motors In Arabia.

Alden, Arabia, is five miles from
Steamer Point, the shipping junction
OF that region. Heretofore camel
carts have conveyed merchandise fol
export and import. But camels ara
slow and the carts are unwieldy. The
camels could, at their best, make only
two round trips day between the
town and the wharf. The road ID
steep and full of gravel and flint. But
this DID not deter business men from
employing automobiles as substitutes
for camels. says an exchange One
skin exporter paid $4,000 for a three
and one-half ton, twenty-five horse
power French truck, which he used
in lieu of the camel carts. It carries
fifteen bales of skins and makes six
round trips daily. The Aden-Steamer
Point automobile service will shortly
test a steam car that has been rebuilt
into gasoline car. The intention is
to revive the passenger service. It
cost 81 800 to convert the car, which
originally cost $2,916. A chauffeur
has been obtained from England to
make the tests. The owners declare
that II the car is a success they will
have five others placed In service.

Al 3 p. m. when the Pioneer went

Al p. m. when the Pioneer went
to press today, such returns as were
available indicated that Andrew
Johnson would win out in his fight
for the sheriff's Office. This is the
only real contest which developed in
Beltrami county. George French
and o. J. Tagley and NJ. E. Ibertson
and DR.. Ward have contests all their
own but at press time it looks as
though both of the present officers
would be returned.
Governor Eberhart appears to be
strong in the cities and able to mus
ter substantial strength in the
country So that it looks as though he
will carry the county. The strength
of the opposition is divided between
so many that the governor has it
easy. Congressman Stevenson is
having fight to beat Peterson in
this county but reports from Crook
ston say that he is carrying the west
ern part of the district by a large
margin.
So few second choice votes were
cast that they have been disregarded,
with but few exceptions, in the above
tabulations. AS other towns come IN,
they will be added and the complete
tables published from day to day.

Postal Shower.

The postal shower Is likely to b
come an institution. It is designed
for the benefit of friend who has
gone to live in a strange place. The
shower was originated by a woman
living in st. Louis to encourage hel
son, a young lawyer, who had estab.
lished an Office In San Antonio, Tex.
Knowing he was bashful the mother
wrote to all her friends, asking that
each one send post card to him, with
some cheering message In many
cases a friend would encourage hel
own friends to write also, and thus
the list grew. The young man got SO
much mail matter that San Antoine
people got to think he was a person O.,
some consequence, and they took to
him in great style. The Shower"
worked SO well IN this instance that
the story spread. Now the idea ID
gaining popularity by leaps and
bounds and bids fair to spread while
the supply of lonesome friends holds
out.

Never buy trees from a travelling
