BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1908. - FORTY CENTS PER MONTH 15,000 ACRES OF STATE LAND TO BE SOLD JULY 9 Splendid Opportunity to Secure Valuable Northern Minne- sota Lands.---Fifteen Thousand Acres in Beltrami Connty, Which Is Well Timbered. The sale of state lands for Bel- trami county is attracting consider- able attention from outside points and every indication, at the present writing, is that nearly all of the land offered for sale will be purchased by people who desire to move to this north country or those who already have small tracts of land in the dif- ferent townships. The City of Bemidji is advantage- ! ously located in the center of a large tract of these state lands, and the settlement of the lands means much towards the permanent developement of our already fast-growing city. In Beltrami county over 15,000 acres of the state and state school lands have been offered for sale, and much of this has some timber on, and is within a short distance of ready markets for timber and timber products, the timber being pine, maple, ash, birch, oak, basswood, elm and tamarack, a large part of| L which is still standidg. The soil is clay and sandy loam with rich vegetable mould, the ac- cumulation of centuries. The sub- soil is clay of various depths. Another product which this county is capable of raising, and which it does raise, is the hay crop. This will average nearly two tons per acre. Potatoes will average 100 bushels per acre; onions 118 bushels, and miscellaneous vegetables will bring on an average of over $50 per acre. . In addition to the above, dairy- ing, livestock, poultry and small fruit-raising are carried on.

GOMMISSION WILL MEET IN BEMIDJI ON JULY 7 Railroad and Warehouse Commission Will Consider Raising Rates on Hauling of Pulpwood. The Minnesota State Railroad & secretary, A. C. Clausen, has issued the following notice of a meeting of the commission to be held in this city Tuesday, July 7: “St. Paul, June 19, 1908. “To Whom It May Concern: “The hearing in the matter of the application of the Minnesota & International Railway company to increase its rates on pulpwood to the basis of its cordwood rates has been fixed to take place at Hotel Mark- ham, Bemidji, Minnesota, on Tues- day, Tuly 7, 1908 at 2 o’clock, at which all interested parties can be heard. *Please be governed accordingly> “By The Commission, “A. Clausen, Secretary.” Several months ago the M. & I. railvay company requested of the commission that a special hearing be given on application to raise the Warehouse: Commission, through its|rates on pulpwood. Through the medium of the Bemidji Pioneer this notice was given wide circulation and many men, interested in pulp- wood had arranged to attend the hearing, but for some reason the railroad company requested a post- ponement of the meeting at that time, which request was granted by the commission. Undoubtedly there will be a large crowd of pulpwood men present at the meeting to be held here July 7 Logal news on last page. —_— A FINE VAUDEVILLE AGT AT BRINKMAN THEATER Moving Pictures and lllustrated Song Are Also the Very Best Money Can Secure. If you want to see a really refined, clever, and original vaudeville act, go to the Brinkman Family Theater and witness the laughable comedians, Early and Late. For causing pure, unadulterated mirth and side-split- ing laughter, Early and Late seem to have anything which * ever appeared in this city “cheated toa frazzle.” The Brinkman Family Theater was crowded last evening, and both Early and Late and the Spaulding Brothers were greeted with round after round of applause. Spaulding Brothers were engaged for the three days during the convention but their acrobatic work was so well praised that Manager Brinkman decided to secure their services week. for all this If you have a bad case of the blues or feel down-hearted, go to the Brinkman Family Theater this even- ing and they will do the rest. You’ll come out feeling fine. Go, cheer up. and MINNESOTA HISTORICAL SOCIETY. hS Y
