ENTERED AS SECOND CLASS MAT- TER AT THE POSTOFFICE AT BE- MIDJI, MINN., UNDER THE ACT OF MARCH 8, 1879. For one week in June, Bemidji will have the best possible opportun- ity to eradicate this impression. The first shock will come when the visitors step off the train and sce brick buildings, paved streets, and electric lights. The next will com2 when they get out into the residence section and see Bemidji’s substantiai komes, schools and public buildings. Those who are fortunate enough to get a trip into the country and see the splendid farms near the city will totally recast their ideas and thenceforth become enthu- siastic boosters for this city. But there are many things to be done before that week if the city is to make the best impression that it can. 'The streets must be kept clean, the lake shore at the foot of Third street must be fixed, the plot in front of the boat houses must be seeded and laid out into walks and gardens. surrounding THIS DATE IN HISTORY.

Elsewhere in this issue will be found an article on the University week to be held here next month. The list of names of those who will come as special lecturers and enter- tainers contains some of the most prominent people in the state. The Glee and Dramatic clubs will bring in many young people who have nev- er been in this part of Minnesola beiore. ‘To have them carry away a favorable impression of Bemidji is the best advertising that the city can get. Those who live here the yzar around, may be surprised to learn that many ‘people of the Twin Cities and the southern part of the state iock upon Bemidji as being a lum- ber camp settlement, a small town located in the heart of the pine ‘woods, one in which lumberjacks and Indians congregate at all times and make the nights- especially hidggu}l; i Bemidji is thought of as away up in the north coun'try »vfliers mnobody lives but lumbermen, Indians, home- steaders and a few traders. and in a general way, back yards aud alleys must be rid of many rubbish piles. It can be done and must be done if Bemidji is to be remembered as the cleanest, liveliest, and all-round best town on the circuit. Decrease in Fire Losses. There appears to be but little doubt that the fire prevention campaign waged by the Minnesota State Fire prevention society has borne fruit. In the report of the state fire marshal for April, losses for that month are found to have materially decreased Depar I \ y THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER for the state as a whole and especial- ly in the two large cities. In the country a slight increase is noticed, but as the town clerks were mnot making their reports a year ago, it is safe to assume that the country has also shown a decrease. Fire prevention is conservation of | the best kind. Friday and Sa-turday?
