WHOLESALE GROCERY Will Be Established in Be- midji this Fall with Ample Capital. THREE STORY BRICK TO BE ERECTED. Project Has Been Maturing for Some Time But Projectors Re- fuse toGive Names. Before snow flies Bemidji will have a wholesale grocery house. The project has been consid- ered for the past two months by well known capitalists and men who are at the present time en- gaged in the wholesale grocery business in northern Minnesota and plans for the establishment of the house are slowly maturing. While it cannot be definitely said that the establishment is certain, it is known that the promoters of the enterprise fully intend to go ahead with it and now expect to have the business in operation some time this fall, R The plans call for the erection of a brick building 75 by 140 feet in dimensions and it is believed that the location will be the lots near the Great Northern and the M. & I. tracks at the foot of Bel- trami avenue, although this can- not be stated as a certainty. The gentlemen back of the pro- ject refuse to allow the publica- tion of their names at the present time. MEXICAN TRIP CALLED OFF Wheelock & Hawkes Pay Back $180 to Men En- gaged for Trip. During the past 10 days Wheel- ock & Hawkes have engaged 88 men for the American Lumber Co. for work in Mexico, and it was expected that the start| would be made this week, Word was received yesterday from the company, however, that the trip must be postponed for the pres- ent owing to the inability of the company to secure railway rates at this time. The men had paid Messrs. Wheelock & Hawkes a fee of 85 for each man, amount. ing in all to $180, and this amount was last evening returned to the men. Itis understood that the trip will be made some time in September. EDITORS SWING ROUND CIRCLE Editorial—Immigration Bu- reau Junket Through Northern Minnesota. Thejaunt of the editorsthrough northern Minnesota planned by the state immigration bureau, and attended by some 40 promi- nent newspaper men of the state, is expected to result in a wide advertisement of the resources of the northern half of the state. The party has been in the upper Red River Valley for two days where it was entertained by the| various towns, It returned to Crookston last evening and go from there to Wadena and Long Prairie. For some udexplained reason the north central portion of the state was entirely omitted ‘from the itinery of the party. Gold Mine in Town. Newton Holroyd has discov- ered a gold mine on his lots next the city hall. While cleaning a chicken last evening Mrs. Hol- royd found in its gizzard a small nugget of gold which upon inves- tigation proves to be pure metal. Mr. Holroyd’s chickens are closely confined and scratch in no dirt except that which he digs up for them in the chicken yard, so that Bemidji appears to have possibilities in the line of gold mining.

Both books are handsome examples of the printer’s ars. START ANOTHER NEWSPAPER Establishment of a Seandi- navian Newspaper in Be- midji Being Considered. Mr. Olaf Huseby, who is here in the capacity of a special re- preséntative of several Scandi- navian newspapers, is consider- ing the establishment of a Scand-. navian paper at some pointin the northwest. Mr. Huseby states that the venture has been prac- tically decided upon but that no| locarvion has positively been chosen. He has investigated numerous points in both the American and the Canadian northwest and is inclined to think that Bemidjiis the bess point for the venture. The paper will be backed by the leading Scandinavians of the northwest and will have ample capital to in- sure its success from the start, inasmuch as the primary idea in starting the paper will not be private profit but the carrying on a work on behalf of the Scandi- navian people of this part of the country which it is felt is greatly needed, ASSESSMENTS ARE UNEQUAL Saloon Fixtures and Stock Assessed Higher in Beau- dette than Here. The board of county commis. sioners sitting as a board of equalization will conclude its sessions this afternoon. The books have all been gone over and numerous hearings have been had but at noon no action had been takern. Quite an inequality in the assessments of saloon stocks and fixtures is found be- tween the Beaudette assessment and that of the rest of the connty.
