THE PRESIDENT’S SPECIAL President Elliot, of N. P., and Party Inspect the Minne- sota & International. TRIP HAS SIGNIFICANT BEARING ON PROPOSED EXTENSION. Party Stopped in Bemidji at Noon Yesterday to Inspect Local Property. i A special train bearing the k private car «Yellowstone” of President Howard Elliott, of the Northern Pacific, and the busi- ness car “A 50" of General Man- ) ager Gemmell, of the M. & I, = passed through the city Satur- day night and returning spent about twenty minutes in Bemidji at noon yesterday. Besides President Elliott, his . secretary and the usual retinue of servants the party was accom- panied by E. J. Pearson, chief engineer of the Northern Pacific, and Dr. Courtney, of Brainerd, connected with the company’s hospital of that point. The train was pulled by one of the M. & I.’s new engines and was in charge of Conductor Atherton and Engineer Leak. Going up the special passed through this city about eight o’clock Satur day night. It stopped here only long enough to register and get orders and proceeded to North- ome, where the party spent the night on the train. The down trip yesterday was made more leisurely to allow President Elliott an opportunity of observ ing just what the interests of the road are in this section. Stops were made at most of the towns on the line and the company property at Blackduck, Kelliher and this city was care fully inspected. This was Presi dent Elliott’s first trip through this section and he is said to have enjoyed it immensely and to have been very favorably impressed with the country. The special arrived in Bemidji on the down trip at 12 o’clock yesterday and spent about hal! an hour here. President Elliott and the other officials goti off and inspected the depot and chatted with Agent Walker and the local employes for some time. While absolutely nothing was given out it has been known for some time that a union depot has been talked of for Bemidji as well as improvements to the present property of the M. & 1. and this probably accounts for the careful inspection of the yards and facil- ities made here. The special registered out of here at 12:30 and had reached Brainerd early last evening, from which point President Elliott and ‘his party proceeded dirvectly to St. Paul. The president’s - visit at. this time is particularly significant in view of the extension of fhe line from Northome, which has been under consideration for some time. Reports of a trip made about a month ago have been in the president’s office for some time and it is said that beforc taking any definite action he de cided to take a trip over the coun try himself. The outcome of his present visit will be known in 2 short time. Whether or not the line will go through to Koochiching ez not be stated, butit i i be very probable that it will be extended some distance north from Northome. Many Want Unsavory Job.

Suceessful Camp Fire. The camp fire and bean buke held by R H. Carr Post G. A. R. Saturday night was quite the success which had been anti pated. and there was a good attendance.

He has réturned here to reside, to make this city for south, | Bemidji his home and while his plans for the future arc yet indefinite he will probably engage in business of some sort here within the next few months. Mr. Markham. sold his hotel business out about six months ago and early in October left with Murs. Markham for Hot Springs, Arkansas. After spending three months at the famous southern health resort, where he was sub- tantially benefitted, he began a leisurely and very thorough tour of the castern south. He visited the cities of Chatanooga, Mem- phis, Birmingham, Augusta, S vannah, Columbus and Spartan- burg aand spent some time at each. At Flovence, S. (!, he met Frank Dudley, a former mayor of Bemidji, now engaged in busi- |ness there and doing very nicely. Later Mr. Markham visited Tampa, St. Augustine, Pensacola and Mobile. He enjoyed the trip very much and returns much rested and refreshed. Allover the south Me. rh- ive record on the be rth and genial pel |week. 1T nowhere is h Bemidji. session of the district conrt.

In Florida he made quite an extensive trip over the country where the Irwin & O’Brein holdings of pine are located. His opinion is that his attention to the short time. Its free pine belts are among the most magnificenv in the world, Mr. Markham says that during his absence he has been unable to keep track of the trend of politics up this way but declares himself unqualified for Dunn for governor, Mr. Markham and Mr. Dunn haye been friends for years and he hopes to see him the next governor of the state. Speaking of local condifions Mr. Markham said that he favored the wide opened policy and it did not concern him who knew it. He believed it was generally better for the business welfare of the city and says that local conditions here will adjust themselves in due time, and that there is natural process of evolution in matters of this kind through which every town and village in this section of the state will pass in due time. Mr. Markham is warmly wel- comed on his return by a host of friends mn this city and his an- nouncement that he will remain here and engage in business will be warmly received by his many friends throughout all this sec- tion of the state. a Swims and Sweats. i W.
