Holding Acquired by Mr. Miles Day in the City. . Bemidji -is -hostess-today for three. thousand visitors. The twentieth annual picnic of the N. P. shop employes which came in two special #rains of thirteen coaches each from Brainerd ‘this —morning is a record breaker in point of —attendance, - but the ¢ weather has been far from ideal and interfered much with the en- Joyment of the occasion. The first section which arrived at 9:30 brought about 1,800 peo- ple. Every coach was pucked to the guards. The _engines were omly - decorated — with bunting, evergreens and ban- - ners -and the crowd - was in excellent spirvits. It has been a'model crowd in every respect and during all the day has con- ducted itself in a creditable man- ner. The trainleft Brainerdat 6:30 this: morning and arrived on schedule time at 9:30. - It was'in charge of Conductor Gollom- boskv and Engineer Wilson. The second . section arrived at 10 o’clock and brought over fif- teen hundred people. It was ac- “companied by the Brainerd Elks’ band and the train was in charge of Conductor Murphy and En- gineer Wagel. It left Brainerd at 7 o'clock. The streets have been lined with people during all of the day. Every hotel and eating house has been taxed to its capacity and the crowd is unquestionably one of the largest which has ever vis- ited the city. Included among the visitors aremany people who have Be: midji friends and many of" the visitors were entertained at the homes of Bemidji citizens. The great majority spent the day at the picnic grounds, however. ,The baseball game this morn- ing was the mst thing on the program, but owing bosome con- fusion as to the time it was to be held there was only a small at- tendance. This afternoon’s game was well 'patrommd The. pr gram of sports occurrgd thi afternoon and the resul are as follows: ‘Si néle men’s mcc, “100 yards— 28tn Boyle, B W. Camp- bell, second; G. A.

Miles yesterday after- noon completed a deal for the purchase of the business pro- perty of O'Leary & Bowser | Third street. Jhe considers ,000 cash and the final de of the transfer-arce being arranged today. Mr. Miles has been contemplat- ing the building of a large first- class hotel for some time sand the property directly adjoins his for- mer holdings on Third street and was necessary to the project. It is-considered one of the-best-in the city. Under the conditions of the “sale contract O’Leary & Bowser have a lease of the build- ing until January 1, when they will remove to a new location. They willin all probablity erect a large stove building of their own at a convenient location in the business district, which will be better able to accomodate their large and constantly in- ceasing husmoxs. Mr, Miles stated this morning that while the hotel may not perhaps be built this season it is a sure thing. The. building im- provements necessary. to the house cannot be made “while the Messrs. O’Leary & Bowser continue in their present location and in all probability-the matters now and work will not be begun on the new house until next spring.

BLOOD THIRSTY u;:fim t it County Surveyor' Stoner Back From Baudette and Tells of Mosquitoes. 5 « County Surveyor M. D. Stoner returned-this-morning from a trip to the northern part of the county, where he went to survey the new townsite of Spooner, one mile up the Rainy viver from Baundette. The work has been completed and Spooner begins to grow and from this time on will be something of a 1l for: Bau- dette. Busine houses are go- ing up-and the reat in the building lin r. Stones says there is no better or more resourceful country in the county than that in the vicinity of Bau- dette and it is developing very rapidly.

ANY-SUMMER-XISITORS ARE. ARRIVING IN BEMIDJL Summer Season Will This Year Be Largest in History of This Section. Northern Minnesota nature is never more beautiful than at the present : eason of the year and the annual influx of summer vis- it has b(wun in proportions sufficient to warrant the state- ment_that there will be more tourists in this section Llns ym:u than ever-before. Bemidji is getting its full share. ‘I'he Grand Forks colony at Grand Forks bay ig growing daily and every train bringsin new visitors to velax for a time from business” care and worry on the beautiful shores of Lake Bemidji, — In past-seasons-Be- midji has not had as many sum-/| mer visitors as some of the towns in this section, but its adaptabil- ity as a summer resort has never been as thorvoughly ad- vertised as it should. The White City at Walker has long been famous as a summer resort, but it has no features to recommend it above Bemidji. - Judging from the summer visitors coming t.hh g season, however, last year’s guests must have done some yery effective advertising. Next weelk work will be begun on sev- eral new cottages at Grand Forks bay "and people from that city who"are here for the summer state that from this time on there will be constant additions to the Grand Forks colony here. Crookston people are also learn- ing that Bemidji is an ideal place for an outing and yesterday there was a lur,fl:e delegation from that city here. The fishing has never been better than itis now and Lake Bemidji can claim the undisputed reputation of preducing the largest specimens of wall eyed pike that are tobe found any- where in the north country. A six pound pike is@n everyday catch and is not considered any- thing especially noteworthy with local fishermen.
