NEW YORK AND CHICAGO BRANCHES IN ALL THE PRINCIPAL CITIES Where can you find a man in Bel- trami county or in this section of the state who doesn’t favor a new rail- road. | There can be little argument in fa- vor of an east and west railroad crossing this county as compared With one running north and south, To a man this county favors the proposed new railroad and more strongly favors it to be run through Bemidji to Baudete and Warroad in a northerly direction. Dreams Come True. The enthusiasm, which a few weeks ago appeared to be but a mere smudge has been fanned into a flame of white heat and is now raging fiercely among the citizens of Bemid- | Ji and Beltrami county. By this fierce raging flame, we have reference to the enthusiasm kindled in the hearts of the citizens of this community favoring a new railroad running north and south through this coun- ty, tapping that vast area north of the big Red Lake. That the hopes of the settler, now a prosperous farmer, residing in that, the best section for soil and crop raising in the world, is about to be realized, and that his dream will come true seems now to be an assured fact. The one stroke of bus- iness yet to be accomplished is to convince the railroad builder that it will pay. It should be an easy mat- ter to convince him of facts we have known all along. Our hardest prob- lem has been to get a hearing. That is, a hearing which commanded ser- ious attention. Such a hearing we have had and the result is that the railroad builder has sent men out to investigate. Upon the report they make will depend the building of the road. It remains up to the people of this county and city to present all the facts. Facts that will convince them that it will be a paying proposition. Yes, we are already convinced. From our view point we believe that the railroad would ‘“get-rich-quick” on a north and south road through this county. These facts might turn a smile in- to serious thought. There are to be hauled out of this territory more than 700,000,000 feet of logs; more than 5,000,000 cords of wood within but a few miles each way from the proposed routes; more than 100,000 tons of wild hay, which is now going to waste each year. In addition to this it will increase the population in this immediate vicinity by more than 12,000 farmers, all producers mind you and may result in the construc- tion of hardwood manufacturing es- tablishments and other industries maintained by the forest and farm products. Yes, Mr. Railroad Builder, Bemid- ji wants that road. It wants it to run north and south and what’s more the people of this section of the state will leave no stome unturned in se- curing facts and figures of the con- vincing variety that will make you sit up and wonder why the road hasn’t been built before. ‘Chicago’s First Woman Jury.
