Fulton of Mora is presideat for the Duluth district and for the Red River district the president and secretary are respectively Miss Ruth Lincoln of Fergus Falls and Miss Nellie Wilson of Maine. A prospectus has been sent out by the society outlining what the conference hopes to accom- plish during its week’s session in Bemidji, calling attention to the ideal location and beauty of Bemidji as a place for a summer gathering, giving some hints as to speakers and containing infor- mations as to railroad rates, en- tortainment in Bemidji, member- ship in the conference.

SPECIAL TRAIN MAY BE RUN FROM SOUTH. Many New and Novel Features " Will Be Secured for the Celebration. - From present indications, it would seem that the Fourth of July celebration this year in Be- midji will be the greatest success of anything of the kind ever at- tempted in the city. The com- mittees on arrangements and sports are arranging for an elab- orate program, and many new and novel * features will be se- cured for the celebratien. A special train from the south on the Great Northern is being arranged for, and the crowd that willattend from Park Rapids and the other townson the line south of this city will be enor- mous. Cass Lake will also send a large contingent to the celebra- tion, the people of that city hav- ing decided not to hold a celebra- tion this year. The north line of the M. & I. will contribute toward the at- tendance immensely. It is un- necessary to arrange for a spec- ial train on this line, as the regu- lar south bound train arrives in the city at 8:10 in the morning and passes through Bemidji on its way north at 6:10, thus giving the visitors from the northern towns the entire day here. The arrangements committee, how- ever, will probably arrange it so that the train will be held in Be- midji until about 11 or 12 o’clock at night, so as to allow the north line visitors a chance to see the sports and fireworks in the even- ing. : The business men of the city have been unusually liberal in contributing toward the celebra- tion, and the commitice on soli- citation reports that its success has been very satisfactory.
