Possibilities That Railroad Will Pass Through Bemidji if Constructed. Crookston Times: That the Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic railroad is going to be built from Thief River Falls to Duluth next year there can be little doubt. A prominent man in railroad circles last week told a Thief River Falls business man that the Duluth, South Shore & Altamtic road have provided against circum- stances that might develop, and that would stop them. Not know- ing what the condition of the money market would be next year the Duluth and South Shore recently floated a loan in New York City for an amount suffi- cient to build and put the road in running order. The money is now in a New York bank and will remain there until next spring.
