SUPERB NATURAL - SITE L. J. Flude Says Bemidii Has Finest Chatauqua Grounds in West. WOULD LIKE TO- SEE ASSOCIA- TION ORGANIZED. Offers to Take Twenty-five Per Cent of Stock and Thinks It a Safe Business Investment. L. J. Flude, who delivered a lecture on the “Yellowstone Na- tional Park” ai the M. E. church last Tuesday evening and who for many years has been con-} nected with -amusement enter- prises in various capacities is very much 1mpressed with Be- midji. Hesays that in all his travels which have covered prac- tically cvery statein-the union he has never seen a town that gave the promise as a coming summer resort that Bemidji does. My. Flude visited Bemidji for the first time Tuesday and saw the city of pines wrapped in its winter blanket of snow, but he has an eye for the picturesque and he had been here but a short time when he made the announce- ment that Bemidji was one ot the finest natnral Chataupua grounds that he had seen in his experi- ence. Mr. Flude was so much impressed that before he left the city he agitated the matter of or- ganizing a Chatauqua association up with several business men and made a proposition he would like to undertake. He would very much like to see a Chatauqua as- soclatmn organized and .has a standmg offer to subscribe 25 per cent of the stock necessary to finance the venture. During the past ten years he has visited practically every Cha- tauqua in the western states. No amusement enterprise has grown in the public favor during the past few years as the Chatauqua has. During the summer season there are no Chatauqua’s nearer Bemidji than Devils Lake, N. D., or Big Stone, S. D. Thousands | ¢, of Minnesotans annually attend them. Mr. Flude sees no reason _why when these ate found to be the paying investment that they are that Bemidji could not have one that would draw from all of Northern Minne- sota and the Northwest. The pines of the north country are well known as a balm for many ailments and in addition to, the people who would come to spend the summer here for pleasure many would find it a beneficial health resort. Mr. Flude be- lieves that advertising will do the business and make Bemidji one of the most famous summer resorts in the country. Ten acres of ground would be sufficient for all purposes, it would be necessary to have an auditorinm and secure a program of Chatauqua tatent. Then the Chatauqua could be advertised, the excuarsion rates secured and HIGH WATER Good Stages of Water Will Make Easy Driving in the Spring. The drivers will not be troubled with low stages of water in the streams in this vicinity during the coming spring frou pregent indications. The snowtall ol’fi‘tlm present winter will give ‘£ good stages of water in allthe streams with. the opening of spring and many drives that have been tied up for several years on account of low water will be successfully moved to a market. Twolarge drives on the Schooleraft, each of several million feet, will be moved as soon as the weather will permit. The Brainerd Lum- ber company’s drive on the Mississippi will also be moved and all should reach Bemidji within thirty days after the open- ing of the streams. ———————————————————————— at Tesorts of this kind would estimation to net a profit each vear.

Lang & Carter, who have just located their broom handle fac- tory at Nary, hayve received a very flattering letter from theCommer- cial club at Little Falls making them an offer to take the factory to tnat city.
