This will be the biggest and most spectacular event ever put across in this' county. ~There will be and Indian village scene of prehistor- is times showing the councils, 'war dances, Indian ‘wooing, massacres, wild bareback riding and other con- tests of the braves—all in war paint, feathers, buckskin and ‘beads of the genuine savage. - Next will be shown the coming of the white man—the early settlers of Bemidji and Beltrami county, - his early struggles with the wilderness and the redskins, how he conquered both, his building of log cabins; the coming of the railroad and final civ- ilization. The pioneers will be seen in the old fashiened square dances, and the fiddler will be there.” Be- twecn the swiftly moving scenes of the historical drama will be seen de- lightful aesthetic dances giving con- trasts and added color to the gor- geous spectacle, x s ‘Hearty Co-opération Asked _ The greatest benefit of all to be derived from this pageant production will be enthusiastic comunity co-oper- " ation throughout.
