INCREASE IN VIsIToRs.-A letter
from this city to the Baltimore Sun
says: THE visits OF strangers to Alex
sndrs have Increased tenfold within the
past FIVE years. No pleasant day passes
without groups Of tourists making the
rounds of the interesting places here.
VI these Christ Church, AlexaDdris,
Washington Lodge and the Marshall
House, where Jackson and Ellsworth
were killed, are the principal attrac'
tiOns. At Christ Church, since the new
turnstile with counting apparatus ws s
liked il place two years ago, lS,9oo
visitors have passed through up to last
evening. As the turnstile is not used
on sunday nor when there are services
10 the church, at which time throngs OF
strangers very frequently attend, and
as some Of the visitors do not enter
Christ Church grounds, 1t Is fair to esti'
mate that about 1900 strangers visi!!
this city sightseeing every year, ano
THIS number increases every month
The advent of these tourists has giveI
nse to new svocstion-that OF Alex
andria guides. They require no j.
cense, but display silver badge. Tit
ayocStion has already proved q reason

present felt convinced of the truth OF
his statements concerning the sdvan-
tages OF kindergarten training, coming
AZ thew did from q man of his expert
ence In educational matters and he
many times ELECTED applause. The
kew note of bis address was
the importance of giving the
child's mind the best training for
his life work, and among other re-
marks said that the municipalities were
surely, if slowly, beginning to realize
that it paid to give the child the righl
kind of kindergarten training, followed
by the right kind of primary teaching
from q financial standpoint alone. Tht
evening closed with q delightful sont
by Miss Annie Uhler. followed by Mr.
George II. Evans, who always charm

Perhaps nowhere in the, United
States are the waters more alive
with fish and the woods with game
than IN this part Of the state.
This is afeature which makes our
location doubly attractive to the
health-seeker- And many feeble

have afterwards rejoiced that their.
ailments forced them into coun-

agents, Benidji people have spent
hardly a cent i'll advertising. If
our village becomes the Mecca Of
health and pleasnresseekers, it
will be due largely to our outside
friends who love us betterthan we
love ourselves.
Among the powerful friends Of
our town and county are the Nor;

thern Minnesota railroads. They.

influence is largely due the pres

came this way and has offered a
hearty welcome to all excursion
parties. The result is beginning
to be shown IN the rapid growth
of the town and the summer re-
sort patronage.
The name of Bemidjl isno long
er known only locally. It's fame
has gradually spread, and will
spread, until famous doctors will
recc' mmend it as a health resort
and pleasure-seekers will come
from afar to view the birthplace
Of Dewey's bear.
Hay fever and consumption are
two bugbears of mankind. The
one posters, the other kills. The
victim Of hay fever, when the
time Of aggravation comes, wants
to find Il place where life is worth
living. The owner of tender lungs
wants to go where the airs and
#odors of the held and woods will
stimulate the growth Of new and
healthtul lung cells.
Both these classes can be aided
and abetted in finding relief BY a
trip to this country. The region

lis the center, is particularly noted
for the benefits accruing to those
subject to pulmonic disorders. "a

In 1895 several st. Paul and

a summer resort. They secured
two hundred acres Of land upon
it's shores where the water was
shallowest, the beach the bright

windstorms perfect. The site was
well timbered with pine and hard
woods, slanting gradually il three
directions to the waters edge. In
the winter Of 1896 they plated q
portion Of their holdings and on
the following year put the same on
the market, but without expecta-
lions Of making sales. They found
however, that the fame Of the To-
