% SEES. BEMIDJI'S RAILWAY BUILDING| - Threc New Lines of Railway Completed and Others Under Construction. Surveys Also Completed for Lines from Detroit and Thief River Falls. The past eight months have been extraordinary ones in rail way conetruction in northern Minnesota and particularly in Beltrami county and this immed- iate vicinity, Seven new lines or extensions have been completed during that time and three more important routes have been sur- veyed The Soo has completed itsline from Detroit to Winipeg and its wheat feeding branch from Thief River Falls to Ken- mare, N. D., the Great Northern has pushed its Thief River Falls extension north to Greenbush and is ready to strike for Roseau and Warroad with the opening of Spring. The Minnesota & Inter national has just completed its oxtension from Northome to Ripple and will complete the di- stance to International Falls next summer. Two important logg- ing roads have been completed from Bemidji to Red Lake and a third from Akeley to Mallard, a survey for a line from Detroit to Loox. AA kRN eVeRy PIECE- CUT GLASS We also carry a line Bemidji is complete and Soo sur- veying parties are now in the field between Duluth and Thief River Falls. Bemidji has been the centre of actiyity in railroad construction during the past season. The most important railroad building from the standpoint of the develop- ment of. Northern Minnesota is the extension of the Minnesota & International, a branch of the Northern Pacific, north 33 miles from Northome to Ripple. The country tapped by this extension is a rich agricultural region. Work trains are now running into Ripple and passenger traffic will begin Christmas Day. The extension of the road to Ripple leaves L ut about 82 miles of road to be built into International Falls. The entire country be, tween Northome and Interna- tional Falls is a rich loam with an abundance of hard woods and with the coming of the railacad will rapidly develop into one of the most fruitful farming see- tions of the state. Several small towns havealready been platted alung the line of the railway and at Ripple there are now about 400 people. The Minneapolis, Red Lake & Manitoba Railway is now runn ing trains from Bemidji to Red Lnke, a distance of 34 miles. The road is owned and operated by C. A. Smith, Jobn Lind, A. Ue- land and other twin city capital- ists. Mortgage bonds to the amount of $600,000 were recent- ly floated for its construction, of the cheaper grades Bowls, $4.00 to $20.00 Tankards, $2.00 to 814.00 Vases, $3.00 to $25.00 Olive Dishes, $1.50 to $6.00 Tumblers, 82 to $12 per set Water Bottles, $4.00 to $8.00 We urge on our pat- raus an examination of our assortment, which is the finest line of high grade cut glass in the city.

The Wilton & Northern has also been built this geason from Wilton, eight miles west of Be: midji, 28 miles north to Island Lake and will be built to Red Lake next spring. It was buflt by the Shewlin-Carpenter Inter- ests and is being operated by the Great Northern. Both roads. which are logging roads, arelaid with heavy steel and have tirst class road beds. They tap a heavily wooded country, popple birch, oak and maple, in addition to pine, standing thick and heavy from the southern boundary line J| of the county to the southern shore of Red Lake. Several new towns Lave been started on each line, the largest of these being Campbell and Popusky on the Minneapolis, Red Lake & Mani- toba and Island Lake on the Wil- ton & Noathern. Both roads are now hauling logs and maintain- ing a regular passenger and freight tvaffic. Contrary to the general belief that this section of the stat - is all jack pine soil, the soil in western Beltrami county tbrough which these roads run is a heavy clay and is rapidly set tling up. The Minneapolis, Red Lake & Manitoba has been so substan- tially built that it is believed here that it will sooner or later be- come a part ot the Soo line to be built from Thief River to Duluth. Soo surveyors are now in the field working out of Duluth and out of Thief River and several lines have been run both north and south of Bemidji. Two surveys have been made by Eogineer Abbott of Minne- apolis this fall between Bemidji and Detroit a distance of 68 miles, but no information can be obtained as to what road is caus- ing these surveys to be made. Such a road would giye the Northern Pacific an air line from Detroit to Internatioaal Falls or it would give the Soo a valuable coonection at Detroit with its main line and at Bemidji with its Duluth—Thief River branch. A logging road is now being constructed by the Red River Lumber company from Akeley BISIAR & VANDERLIP .3 doors west of Cily Hall.' t0 Mallard in southern Ofear- water county which will be about 30 miles in length.

That District Had Been Organized as Inde- pendent One. At a meeting of the school board last night a resolution was adopted prescribing the form of bonds to be 1ssued to the Minne- sota Loan & Trust company, to which the $5,000 bonds voted at an election held in August were recently disposed of, The delay in securing the money for the bonds was caused because of there being no record in the office of the county auditor showing that the district has been incorporated as an indepen- dent one. The school records also failed to show that the dis- trict had been so organized. After the bid of the Minnesota Loan and Trust company had been accepted by the board the company refused to take the bonds op the ground that there was Ro x'ecord showing that the district , has, been organized as “Independent School District of Bemidji.” A resolution was last night passed at the meeting of of the board calling the attention of the county auditor and treas- urer to the proper name of the district. Although the records do not show that the district has been incorporated as an indepen- dent one, itis presumed that after i1t has cxercised its powers as such for a period of one year it has been legally formed. The bonds are five in number of $1,000 each, draw five per cent interest, .payable semi-annually, to be sold for par. at a premium of $101 and accrued interest, the bonding company to furnish the blank bonds. They are to be dat- ed Dec. 19. The application for a loan of $10,000 from the state, authorized at an election last spring, was denied by the state on the grounds that the loan could not be made for the double purpose of purchasing sites and erecting school houses thereon. In deny- ing the loan, however, the state officers said that they were will. ing to loan the money if it were used only for the purpo e of erecting the buildings and not for the purchase of sites also. WWWW ¢ Additional Locals W. W. Browne returned this morniog from Northome, where he has spent a short time on business. Miss Kate Bunker has com- pleted teaching a term of school at Wiltor and returned to her home in this city. George F. Murch arrived in the city this afternoon from Crookston.

The change from spriug to winter weather which occurred’ last night is one of ‘the best things that could happen for the lumbermen in this sestion, and the indication that cold, snappy days will continue for some time brings a smile to the face of the north country logger. The heavy fall of snow which occurred in tse storm of a couple of weeks ago put many of the logging camp operators on the anxious seat, but if the present cold spell continues for a few days the diffi- culties in making roads and hauling which were anticipated as g result of the heayy snowfall will not be met with.
