If Providence ever invented to create a that Paradise is the district around Bemidji. A City of the Future. Beltrami county is blessed with a copious rainfall, the average annual precipitation being about 30 inches. The new settler has no dry farming problems to solve. Hot winds and destructive hail storms are unknown. As a matter of fact, the climatic con- ditions which confront the farmer are practically the same as those which confronted the pioneer in Ohio, Indiana, and Illinois. The water is not only abundant, but is pure. Bemidji is indeed a city with a future, a city of promise. It has too much to offer not to continue to grow as it has grown, or with accelerated speed. To the young man it offers opportunity; to the old man, comfort and contentment; to the man with a family, a place where he can secure a home and independence; to the farmer, cheap land; to the manufac- turer, cheap power and fransporta- tion; to the investor, unlimited chance to increase his fortune; to the seeker for pleasure, Something that will appeal to the most paded taste; paradise for. the love of out-of-doors | to the invalid, health among the pines; to the common, everyday cit- izen, a home where he is as good as his neighbor, if he is'honest and in- dustrious. Bemidji is a city of friendly, demo- cratic, hard working, home loving citizens. It is the best type of a clean, hustling young community, built on the solid foundation of great natural resources, and its business men are taking the problem of de- veloping those resources in a way that will not be denied.

It is the logi- cal commercial center of a territory embracing something in excess of 40,- 000 square miles, a territory which is developing rapidly. Lake Adds to City. Lake Bemidji, with its supurb beaches, its waters of crystal clear-|. ness, its irregular sh‘oreline, with wooded bluffs, and its waters teeming with gamey fish, adds, in every way, to Bemidji’s claims as a éity beau- tiful. : : : A writer recently described the growth of the. city as. follows: . “In its growth it has combined the char- acteristics of the. oak with. those of the mushroom, for with all its rapid developement it has the . stability which means a definitely prosper- ous future.” Do you know that the government crop reports of corn productions show that Minnesota averaged 42 bushels to the acre breaking every record and making Minnesota a great corn state? Do you know that an everage yield of 300 bushels of potatoes to the acre is not unusual in Beltrami county.
