THE BEMIDJI DAILY" VOLUME XIV, NO. 100. BEMIDJ1, MINNESOTA, SATURDAY EVENING, APRIL 22, lflfl, RUGGLES FAVORS IDEA OF PARK AT HEAD OF LAKE Owner of Famous “Ruggles Timber” Visits in Bemidji; Owns Con- siderable City Property. SAYS HE HAS NEVER BEEN APPROACHED BY CITY Believes That Which Will Assist Be- midji in Growth and Prosperity Will Help Him. Charles Ruggles of Manistee, Mich., owner of the famous ‘Ruggles’ Pines” north of Bemidji is in the city today on business. He is in- vestigating matters pertaining to his real estate holdings and expects to be in the city for several days. Mr. Ruggles favors the plan of making a park of his timber at the head of the lake but stated to a Pio- neer representative that he had never been approached on the subject. Park a Good Thing. “I have considerable real estate holdings in Bemidji,” said Mr. Rug- gles, “and anything that will help Bemidji grow and prosper will in- crease the value of my holdings. The park undoubtedly would be a fine thing. ‘“However, I have never been ap- proached by the city or anyone else on the question of establishing park. No proposition has ever been submitted to me. It is a great deal like a recent experience that I had. My chore boy told everyone else that was employed by me that he was going to resign his job. He told me on Saturday night when he quit. Fight Condemnation. “I have heard it reported that ef- forts will be made by certain citizens to get the tract for a park by con- demnation proceedings. I believe that I should be approached on the matter and would fight any condem- nation proceedings.” Mr. Ruggles stated that he be- lieved that Bemidji would show a good growth during the next year. He stated that the growth of a city depends on good bankers and good at- torneys and told of the experiences in Detroit, Mich., where attorneys and bankers had much to do for the growth of that city. The attorneys aided in stopping litigation of worth- less kinds between individuals and the bankers only backed the business .that was legitimate and was for the -best interest of the ecity. 140,000 AWAIT PEACOCK PARADE AT ATLANTIC CITY TOMORROW Atlantic City, N.

SCOTT AND FUNSTON DISCUSS WITHDRAWAL Trooper Dies; Body Arrives at Colum- bus; Villa Menace May Have Been Removed. ‘Washington, April 22.—A different aspect of the Mexican problem today caused a growing eoncern.
