L SOTA | HISTORICAL SOCIETY. VOLUMF 8 NUMBER 3‘3 BEMIDJI, MINNESOTA, THURSDAY EVENING, MAY 26, 1910. TEN CENTS PER WEEK. THINKS BEMIDJI SHOULD PAVE STS. Dr. J. D. Taylor, Former Grand Forks Mayor, Talks on Paving Experi- ence of Homre City. | EXPEDITES BUSINESS; SAVES TIME, WEAR ON VEHICLES. With Present Sand and Gravel on Streets, Paving Would Be Cheap | Here, Says Doctor. “The sentiment for paving spreads like a disease. After you get lhe% first block you always want more,’” said Dr. J. D. mayor of Grand Forks, N. D, in a this morning in which Bemidji was given several valuable and practical suggestions in regard to the paving movement which is now growing rapidly in this city. “With sand and gravel at your door, in fact already in position on your streets, Bemidji could put in its own pavements at about one-half the ordinary cost. Cement paving, similar to granitoid, ought not to cost you more than $1.35 per square yard. Taylor, for years interview “Paving expedeites business and anything that does that is in keep- ing with the progress of the town. Your teams loose considerable time in passing: through the sand, and the wear and tearon your vehicles is remarkable. “At Grand Forks our paving has been very costly because we have had to ship the materials a long distance. The gravel which we use is hauled about two miles to the train and then shipped 28 miles by rail to Grand Forks. The cement blocks of course have ‘to be sent from a long distance. *“In regard to the creosote blocks of which you speak, I wish to say, personally I have always been opposed to having any organic pave- ment. While creosoting preserves the blocks for a long time, ultimately they will decay. The creosote pave- ment when new is beautiful but in- clined to be slippery. We have one mile now of bithuli- thic pavement and will lay several | miles more this year. Thisis com- posed of a six inch concrete base with a top dressing of tar, crushed granite and cement, spread two inches deep and rolled with a heavy steam roller. In my judgment this is the best pavement of the several kinds that we have in Grand Forks. ‘T'his bithulithic pavement is also known as Donellite from the name of the Duluth man who manufactures it. We are also putting down granitory pavement composed of cement. It is smooth when laid down but lacks elasticity and 1 question its wearing quality. \We have laid in Grand Forks, in- cluding the plans for this year, a total of 60 blocks of pavement. *My idea, as far as Bemidji is con- cerned, is that it can put in its own pavement with the sand and gravel right at its door and that the best paving would be the cement kind similar to the so.called granitoid. This, in my judgment, can be laid in Bemidji for about one-half the ordin- ary cost. You already have cement curbing in place, which can be eliminated from the actual cost of paving. It seems to me that this would be the proper plan for Bemidji to use. “With the material already laid where you want it, you should be able, as I said before, to put down this pavement at about $1.35 per square yard. Cement was never as cheap as atthe present time. “In Grand Forks the pavement is assessed to the abutting property and owners have 20 years in which to pay for it, in annual installments if they so desire, but I understand that your charter will not permit this policy in Bemidji. It would be wise for you to change your charter. You are going to have a thriving city here and will need city “It is the expedition with which we do business today that gives us the advantage over the methods of | 20 years ago. "In Grand Forks we have installed ] N ornamental street lights, a cluster of five lights to a post and the posts placed about 80 feet apart along the the curbing. All the wires in the business district are laid under ground. We have installed a com- plete new street car system; we have laid miles of paving, several miles of sewer and water pipe extension this year, and we have a city in which it is a pleasure to live.” The Bemidji Commercial club at a meeting yesterday afterooon ap- pointed A. G. Weadge, T. J. Burke and W. N. Bowser a committee to act in conjunction with the city council to further the paving pro- position in Bemidji. The ordinance, appropriating $12,000 for paving in Bemidji, which was passed by the council a short time ago, will be submitted to the people at a special election June 14, Mistake in Lysacker Case. Through the Pioneer last evening stated that Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Lysacker and Mrs. Oranger had been arraigned in municipal court on charges of run- ning a house of ill fame over the Blue Front saloon. Mrs. Lysacker in reality lives with her }:hildren on America avenue and had nothing whatever to do with the case. Mr. Lysacker himself was arrested only the charge of operating a dumb misinformation, waiter by which it was alleged that | he carried liquor to the rooms over | the saloon. Mrs. Oranger was the only one arrested on the charge of | running a house of ill fame. The Pioneer exceedingly regrets this mis- understanding, which was made entirely through an error and was not intentional on the part of any- one, Cement Work Done. Cement walks laid and all kinds of cement wotk done and guaran. teed.

Bull, of the college of agriculture of the Universiry of Minnesota.. The lecture was excellent and included a practical demonstration of how ; to preserve and pack the different kinds of eggs, and a talk on the nutritive value of hens’ eggs. = Only a comparatively small num- ber of Bemidji ladies attended this lecture. The Woman’s Study club, under whose auspices Miss Bull is giving these lectures in Bemidji, sin- cerely desires that more of the Bemidji ladies take advantage of these excellent talks and attend the Wednesday meetings. The final lecture of the course will be given by Miss Bull next Wednesday at the high school. All ladies are invited.

A EUROPEAN EXPERT ON DAIRYING TO GIVE ADVICE City Editor Boughner, Minneapolis Tribune, on “Intelligent Publicity for Northern Minnesota.” The program for the Northern Minnesota Development association convention at Crookston June 1-2-3, is the best that could possibly have been arranged for the future in- terests of Northern Minnesota. The list of speakers includes men of national and European reputation. W. M. Hays, assistant secretary of agriculture at Washington D. C., who will speak on “Country Life,” is one of the most entertaining speakers in publiclife of this country today. He has gained a national reputation throughout the United States as a learned and interesting talker on farming. Bernhard Boeggild, professor in the Royal Danish Agricultural Col- lege of Copenhagen, bears the reputation of being the greatest authority in Europe on dairying and his speech will be of immense benefit to Northera Minnesota, the future dairying region of the north. Northern Minnesota is admirably adapted for the growth of clover and pasture lands, and the pro- fessor’s” advice will aid greatly in the development of this region along its natural lines: “- Proffessor - Boeggild bears the proud distinction of being the father of the co-operative movement which has made Denmark famous and which has done more than any- o0 | thing else to add to the wealth of the farmers in that far off county. Professor Boeggild’s topic is ‘“Co- operation for the Development of Northern Minnesota,” and will doubtless attractgreat attention from the practical farmers of the section of the state. Professor John H. Grey, head of the department of economics and political science of the University of Minnesota, who made such a favor- able impression on the delegates at the Bemidji convention will talk on Getting Together.” Leroy J. Boughner, city editor of the Minneapolis Tribune and today one of the mort interesting speakers in the Twin Cities, will deliver a speech which will be of special interest to every newspaper man ia this notth half of the state. His topic, ‘‘Intelligent Publicity for Northern Minnesota,” will be one of the strong features of the develop- ment congress. Mr. Boughner has had years of experience in the news- paper business and the present excellent condition of the Minnea- volis Tribune is due to his ‘quiet, persistent efforts for the advance- ment of this great daily. EVANGELISTIC CAMPAIGN The cottage prayer meetings tomorrow morning will be held at the following homes: Mrs. Head, Park avenue and Twelfth street; Mrs. J. W. Naugle, 609 Bemidji; Mrs. H. N.
