A NEW PAPER.

In northern Beltrami county is a
thriving little village by the name of
Williams. Last week. a weekly news
paper was begun there by Sam S..
Sherman, former Iowa newspaper
man.
The new paper contains ten pages,
is profusely illustrated and is a credit
to the village and to the editor. It
merits. wide circulation.
The policy of the paper is outlined
by Editor Sherman as follows:
"The business and editorial policy
of the, paper will be under the sole
management of the editor and it is our
man without a fine comb, of what
runs in our head We have always
been republican in politics; when
the dissentions of four years ago came
up in the party we took the bull
moose end of it and still believe in
and adhere to the progressive prin-
cipals and will continue to work for
them in the republican party when
feasible but for progressive princi-
pies at all times and under any con-
ditions so long as they appear to us
to be for the best interests of our
country."r
The Pioneer wishes you the best Of
success, Brother! Sherman.

st. Paul, MIMI, Feb. 10.-Strange
new men creatures with winged feet,
who fly over the snow with the speed
of birds, are carrying terror and
death to the wolves of Northern
Minnesota, according to letter re-
ceived by Carlos Avery, state game
and fish commissioner, from G. A.
Saunders, state warden at Badger,
in R0seau county.
No wolf can outrun these flying
men, for the wolves break through
the thin snow crust, while the men,
who do their flying on skis, skim the
surface easily. Mr.. Saunders writes
that he has organized four communi-
ties for campaign of wolf extermi
nation, and fully 100 wolves have
fallen in two weeks, the greatest
slaughter ever known in that Sec
tion
Saunders made a discovery when
out one day on skis. He took after
a. wolf and ran him down easily. He
told the farmers about it. Skilled

sski-runnerss banded together gladly
for. the new sport, formingthe Farm
ers' Game Protection and Anti-Wolf
club, with branches at Badger, Ro-
'seau, Graceton and the y Hanson
school. Some are chasing the
helpless wolves with horses, but those
who know how to use skis find them
just the thing.
One club already has brought in
26 wolves, and two boys, from the
Hanson school have come in with five
of the animals. In addition to the
state bounty of $3.50 for each pelt,
the hunters get county bounties, so
the sport is not only full of thrills,
but highly profitable.

Money spent for the old TO- style,
ready-made medicine usually sold in
bottles holding only to 21k ounces
(16 to 20 teaspoonfuls) is largely
wasted, because most of them are
composed principally of sugar and
water. Yet you have to pay the
same price as if it were all medicine.
Stop wasting this money. You can
make better remedy for bronchial
affections, at home at one-fifth the
cost. Merely go to Bankers Drug
store and ask for 2 ounces (5Oc
worth) of Schiffmann's New Con-
centrated Expectorant, which they
guarantee will give perfect salts
faction or money will be refunded.
Mix this with one pint of granul-

MAYOR M'CUAIG
FOR REELECTION

There is no one more deserving of
the endorsement of the people at the
city election next Tuesday than
Mayor William McCuaig. He should
be endorsed by every good citizen by
being returned to office.
During his term of office not one
of his official acts has been ques-
toned. He has been fair in his deal
ings and honest to the core. Those
who have had occasion to watch him
in the performance of his official acts
know that he has acted right on
every action that has come before
him and that he has stood with the
people at all times.
The city needs a good man for
mayor and if city ever needed one
it needs him for the next year more
at least. 1t is anticipated that there
will be a number of important city
matters to come up during the next
year that will need the good judy
ment of a. man versed in city Matters.
If the people would only under
stand the absolute necessity of keep
ing a good man in office, man who
has labored long and hard for the
people in trying to keep Bemidji in
a front rank with other cities, such
as it has been for the past several
years, they would have no hesitancy
in returning Mayor McCuaig to Office
Mayor McCuaig is equipped with
the ability to cope with all matters
which may come up and he should be
returned.
Mayor McCuaig is man who will
do things for the good of the city and
will never shirk in the task.
Have in mind, Mr.. Voter, the in
terest of 'Bemidji when you go to the
polls next Tuesday and do not hest
tate to mark an x after the name of
William -McCuaig for mayor and you
will make no mistake.

But the UnsaiIant Judge Did Il In HE
Own Peculiar Way.
There are many interesting refer
ences to Lord Chief Justice Campbell
scattered about in the memoirs and bi.
ographies Of his contemporaries. He
was a man who inspired strong likes
and dislikes. The famous DR.. Kenealy
hated him. He declared that Campbell
found luxury in the infliction Of tor.
ture and had a ratlike, cruel look on
his face, which settled immovably as
the Judge got older. The following
"reminiscences Of DR.. Kenealy is re-
markable:
II remember an incident which
shows. although only in a slight de-
gree, his natural lack Of courtesy and
consideration. A number Of ladies
crowded into one Of the passages Of
Westminster hall for the purpose Of
getting a glimpse Of the lord chief
justice, who was then a celebrity of
some note. AS he passed his button
caught in beautiful lace bertha worn
by one Of his fair admirers. After n
vain struggle to disengage himself
Campbell deliberately took out his
penknife-everybody thought for the
purpose Of cutting off bis button and
releasing the lady. Not at all. He
coolly cut hole in her handsome lace
and passed on with his sweetest
smile. Law Magazine and Review.

ASKS REDUCTION
Claims that Jitney Competition Has
Reduced Income Many Thou
sands Of Dollars.

REPRESENTATIVES Of the Grays Harbor
Railway & Light Co., appeared be-
fore the state board of equalization
at Olympia Monday and asked for a
reduction in valuation for the pur-
pose Of reducing taxes on the COM
pany's holdings on the Harbor. Ow.
ing to unregulated jitney competition,
revenues have declined steadily since
1914. the year that witnessed the birth
Of the jitney movement.
In 1915 the company's revenue was
$4,000 less than in 1914, and in 1916
will be still lower. Regardless Of
these figures, the board has duplicated
the assessed valuation Of the property
year after year. and the company
wishes to reduce the valuation to a fig
ure proportionate with its income.
Taxes paid in 1915. the sum of s27.-
900. represents IL per cent of the com.
pany's gross income during that wear.
while in 1914, taxes paid were a little
less than eight per cent on the gross
income.
The company also showed that since
1t has been operating on the harbor It
has paid out nearly $4,000 for street
paving.
