JOHN WISE PRAISES SITE AT BEMIDJI (Continued from first page). ey through other sources. They are all good roads boosters and enthusi- asts in and about Bemidj, as the con- dition of the highways testity. “There are four lumber mills there, two largest ones being con- trolled by the Shevlin interests of Minneapolis. The pay roll of one of the large mills is over $1,000 a day, $35,000 a month. Besides these is a large box factory and other indus- tries. ) “With its splendid location, furn- ishing everything that is necessary, surrounded by a rich and productive country, and with its business inter- ests in the hands of live wires and progressive men, Bemidji is destined to become a large commercial center. The city is growing at a rapid pace. City Is Well Lighted “Bemidji is well lighted, the plant being owned by local gentlemen who have a large electric power house and dam on the Mississippi river. The river is also the source of Bemidji Lake. The dam is located about eleven miles beyond that body of water, on the river the current being carried into the city by transmission lines, as it Is here, ‘“The visitors were given a steamer ride across and around the lake and on the Mississippi river a distance of eleven miles to the dam, which was greatly enjoyed, the scenery being grand. There are also a large num- ber of summer homes on both sides of the river, beautifully located. “The business portion of the city is lighted with arches, extending across the street, about two to the block such as we had at one time on Front street in Mankato, only the lights are larger. The remainder of the city is lighted with arcs and incandescents The arches are kept burning until midnight. Good Railroad Facilities “Bemidji does not lack railroad facilities, there being four roads that & Manitoba, Great Northern, Minne- 80 & International, and the Soo Line, and the large, tine depots and freight houses maintained by each . road at- tracted our attention. “There is but one telephone system in Bemidji, the Bell, but the rates are so reasonable and satisfactory to the patrons that it has discouraged the organization of a local company. “The court house is another attract- ive and nicely designed building, and the several officers occupying it are courteous and pleasant gentlemen to meet. The board o fcounty commis- sioners happened to be in session when the party of visitors arrived at the court house Wednesday, but they adjourned for the day and joined the visitors in their auto drives to the Normal site and about the city, as well as on the steamer ride on the lake and river. “Graham M. Torrance, a son of President Torrance of the Normal board, is county attorney of Beltrami county, and so tl}e visit of the Judge to Bemidji was doubly enjoyed. Mr. Torrance is an able and successful attorney and has made a splendid record there. 2 The Site For New Normal ‘“Wednesday morning about 9 o’clock a delegation of citizens with autos appeared at the hotel, and the visitors were driven to the court house and then to the land to be giv- en to the state as a site for the Nor- mal. Upon arrival there the party walked over the entire tract of land, which includes in all about twenty- seven acres, " (Continued in tomorrow’s Issue) k3 R R R R R X R R £ * FINDS PIRATES’ TREASURE WORTH $7,000.

ARMY OF WORKERS ON MISSOURI ROADS Governor Major Dons Overalls and Does His Share. Jefterson City, Mo., Aug. 21.—Led by Governor Major in his brand new suit of overalls 300,000 Missourians manned the steam graders, rollers, mule scrapers, picks and shovels and worked the roads of Missouri as they had never been worked before. It was the first of two days pro- claimed by the Missouri executive as “good roads days” and throughout the state entire communities dropped their every day labors and donated their time to the betterment of the state’s highways. Governor Major did his stunt in the bottoms of Callaway county, with plenty of moving picture men on duty. In the cab of a traction engine he piloted a mammoth grading outfit over a stretch of highway which he expected would be a model by night. Highway engineers from bordering states were on hand to watch road building in the “show me” state. Every kind of a road device imagin- able was in operation, with plenty of agents on hand to extol their merits. o ofe oo ok ol b e ke e b o oo o oo o o - WOULD BAR JACK JOHN- SON FROM STAGE.

The situation is net improved by the fact that it is almost impossible to obtain reliable information. The Mexican gunboats in the har. bor, by taking on coal and supplies, seemed to be preparing for an emer- gency and they all have full comple- ments of men on board. On the Amer- ican ships in the harbor everything also seems to be ready for some move, the officers allowing no shore leave to the men. Shipments of gold are being made from Mexico City to Vera Cruz.
