S, THE BEMIDJ1 VOLUME 7. NUMBER 5. BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, FRIDAY EVENING, APRIL 23, 1909. BEMIDJI APPLIED FOR THE FISH STATION A YEAR AGO Cass Lake Times lnsinua_tes that if Bemidji Doesn’t Butt in, Cass Lake Might be Able to Get the Government Fish Culture Station. It has been reported that Senator|telegraph to Senator Nelson as the Nelson has secured an appropriation of $25,000 fora government fish hatchery in the state, and Cass Lake has made applicationfor the location of the senator’s hatchery, and if Be- midji don’t covet it and howl about her facilities being the best, we may land it. Cass Lake Times. The above, taken from the Cass Lake Times, is certainly refreshing, when it is taken into consideration that Bemidji made application for the above-mentioned fish culture station more than a year ago. During the session of congress in 1907-08, when Senator Nelson first introduced the bill referred to above, Bemidji made application by place for locating the station, and received word that the matter was not quite in such shape so that application for the location of the station could be considered at that time. The insinuation contained in the above, “if Bemidji did not covet it it and howl about her facilities be- being the best, we may land it,” which intimates that Cass Lake was first in the ground for this enter- prise, is without foundation, as is shown by the following article taken from the Bemidji Daily Pioneer of March 31, 1908, over one year ago, Continued on page two.

If there are any whom we are slighting, and the spirit moves them, we will not be insulted should they enclose a check good for real money at either of the banks.” New Minnesota House.

Credits from this course will be accepted on the regular course by any of the state normals. WELL KNOWN GITIZEN BUYS LIVERY BUSINESS K.
